I'm totally ripping off Disney's style by naming this playlist "The Magic of Hip-Hop." Actually, some of these tracks literally sample Disney tunes, but this playlist is more about the ability of hip-hop to capture a wide range of hopeful, cinematic emotions.
Halfway through my curation, destiny brought me to TenLittleRabbit's "Floral," which I discovered is part of the Wizards Only compilation,
Disney Worlds. I've pulled a few of their tracks for this playlist. If you'd like to check out the recently released 19-track compilation, head
here. Also, a
special shout-out to fellow writer Sean for originally introducing the Indie Shuffle community to Gloam, who makes an encore appearance with two tracks.
And finally, because you have to stop acting cool and inhabit the imagination of a child while listening, I will leave you with Peter Pan's words: "Think of all the joy you'll find when you leave the world behind and bid your cares goodbye."
