Triple X for Three Tunes Tuesday

It has been a rather drab day, a day filled with me fighting over my fears, later conquering them and putting pen to paper..
..but this post isn't about that.
This post is for #ttt, a contest hosted by our very own Irish pal @ablaze.
The idea is simply to come around every Tuesday and talk about in a post three tunes which everyone can vibe too...

Like I was saying, today was pretty drab and boring.
A non-lecture day so I found myself lying down, reading The Jerusalem Assassin-the 3rd novel of the Marcus Ryker Series, which I talked about yesterday- and listening to some tunes.
After I decided to go online on Deezer, and deleting all my previously downloaded musical folders, I find myself listening to songs now based on the artist and album only, instead of my somehow shuffled offline way of listening.
This method has made me rediscover my passion for some previous artists and songs, one I was very passionate off, is the iconic XXX Tentacion.

XXX Tentacion

Jason Dwayne Ricardo Onfoy _{that's a long name} professionally known as XXX Tentacion, was an american singer and rapper. His controversial lifestyle due to legal and health issues aided him in getting a healthy culture following for his music career, which spanned through multiple genres including rap, emo, lofi, hip-hop, indie rock, etc.
There's a lot more about him which you could read on here.
I heard this guy's music first in 2014, and I genuinely fell in love with him. Although not part of his cult following, I was a fan as I listened to numerous of his songs, filtering the sounds, lyrics and stories through my ear before choosing the 3 that I liked the most.

There are a lot of songs in his catalogue that I have stored but I'm just going to talk on my best 3.

Hope

This song is one that I really can't explain why I like it so much.
This song was dedicated and made after the Parkland High School shooting, a tragic event that claimed the lives of 17 people.
This song was made to uplifting the survivors of that tragic event as he described it in his SoundCloud description.

follow your dreams, and know that even though you have lost, you have guardian angels watching over you, day in and day out,
the last thing they want is for their lives to be lost in vain, make them proud! live full, healthy, genius lives!
#youarenotalone

Changes

This is one song about XXX Tentacion that is well known.
This heart wrenching heartbreak song is one that'll leave you swaying and wondering why she did that...
Using his great vocals, simple piano keys and the melodic tune of a violin, he created a masterpiece ✨

Jocelyn Flores

Jocelyn Flores was a friend of X who committed suicide due to depression back in May 2017.
The incident truly shook X as he was with her at Florida because they were taking photoshoots.
He was moved to right this song for her and dedicates another song "Revenge", swearing to take Revenge on the world for what she had been through...

XXX Tentacion, was such a character and it reflected on his personal life and musical life, never one to hide his feelings about something, his death is one that truly shook the hip-hop rap industry and he is missed.
Anyways, that's all from me on #ttt this week.

See y'all next month 🤠.
