Our first on the list of music for the morning is hip-hop anthem “Good Day” from Greg Street, featuring Nappy Roots.

This song has just the right amount of attitude and is especially good on those days that you want a little extra swagger in your step. (Monday mornings, anyone?) It’s gonna be a good day!
