In this edition we brought in DJ Markus Gramm to blend a PAIN & GAIN WORKOUT MIX in celebration of the new film dropping April 26th. The playlist is as diverse as diverse can be if you can be that diverse about being diverse. This is largely due to that fact that the songs were picked by YOU as we took to YouTube, Twitter and Facebook to get the songs you love to run, walk, jog and pump that iron harder and faster. No health update. No shameless plugs. Just the music and a quick thought on how we deal with PAIN and GAIN in our lives. Let's go.

As we gear up for yet another whirlwind weekend in L.A., this playlist is filled with the energy, excitement and grooves from GRAMMY® nominated artists like Frank Ocean, Lupe Fiasco, Jay-Z, etc. to soothe and electrify your ears all in one dynamic show. As the official rap community blogger for the GRAMMYS®, I am blessed to be in the midst of the best and brightest in the music community - from legends to newcomers. And while I wish I could sneak you in my luggage and take you to L.A. with me...those baggage fees are no joke! Instead, I'm inviting you to shake and move with me as I bring the GRAMMYS® to you through the power of social media. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram as I tweet, post and take pictures live from various GRAMMY week events including the big show on Sunday, February 10th on CBS. You can also catch up with my fellow community bloggers on their respective social media streams.

In this edition we're celebrating six years of sharing the good news of great music. Over the years, the goal remains the same: to entertain, encourage and uplift as you wrap up your week. This podcast has evolved from the humble beginnings of recording sound bits from my kitchen table with a $7 mic and PC to state-of-art production, global outreach and invaluable friendship. Social media has been a huge catalyst for the growth of this show's message as well. We've featured various segments and the one that remained constant was our focus on health. This week we face the holiday blues head-on with a health update that helps you change your scenery when things around you don't look so great. Out of all the places we've been, online and IRL, the most special place has been within your ears, heart, mind and soul. For that privilege, I am forever grateful.

In this edition I'd like to share one of the most popular mixes in the history of the FFC...and ironically it wasn't by yours truly. Last year, while I was on hiatus, my friend/fellow DJ/podcaster DJ Cmoove (pronounced "Smooth") offered to fill in while I take a break. His blends of gospel, jazz and love songs were a huge hit -- especially his Praise Party sets. The brotha came through like a champ all while caring for his loving wife, who was recovering from an illness at the time. Unfortunately his wife transitioned this week, so I decided to drop his Crunk 4 Jesus Mix as we pray for strength and comfort for him and his children. His dedication to God, family and music is something I deeply respect and find inspiration. It's the weekend. It's hot. Let's get crunk. DJ Cmoove will show you the way...

In this edition we're back with an incredible playlist filled to the brim with the best in new school and true school soul and progressive hip-hop extracted from the far corners of the universe. While we have new classics from veterans like Boyz II Men and Usher - allow me to introduce you to the next level of icons like A Yellow Man and my personal favorite, Carlitta Durand. Our health update is all about self-love and I'm going to share how you can love yourself to better fitness. This edition is truly a return to the high energy you've come to expect from the favecast the past five years. As I reviewed episodes from the past 12 months, you can definitely hear the "progressively dark" vibe no matter how much I tried to mask it. This show was created to entertain, encourage and uplift you and I apologize for not giving 100% (because I was somewhere between 60 -70% LOL). Along with the music, we explore the importance of apologies - whether giving or recieving - it goes beyond saying "I'm sorry" PLUS a message to those who choose to hold grudges and dispel sincerity. We all need to do better and keep the party going. So let's go. Click here to download or use the player below.

In this edition my heart is extremely heavy as I've learned that prolific author, champion of black romance novels and my literary mentor, Monica Jackson, has passed away. Our paths crossed many years ago and she was one of the main authors who continue to encourage and inspire me to keep writing despite all my other creative endeavors. In celebration of her life and gift, we're jumpin' in the Favecast Time Machine to August 2007 where we talked to Monica about her success in the traditional publishing world and her fish grease hot anthology, CREEPIN' :) We also touched on the current state of African-American fiction and her passion for ending domestic violence. In the Jay Q&A, my brother tackles the issue of "the roughneck vs. the sensitive lover" - will "Mister Nice Guy" prevail? It's real lovely and real luxurious, so be sure to ride with me from beginning to end. ;) Happy Friday. Rest in Power, Ms. Jackson (ooooh). I am for real...
