\"ImadeHeadshot\"What better day to debut a brand new Frederick Playlist column than the final Thursday in July? The answer is there is no better day. Really. There isn’t. Behold Music & Mental Health, a feature we hope to bring you more often than not, written by the fabulous Imade Borha. She’ll check in from time to time with her thoughts on … well … presumably, music and mental health. Duh. If you dig, you can follow her on Twitter here<\/a>. Enjoy!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m too scared to be sassy. I\u2019m too fearful to be \u201cBool, Balm, & Bollective.\u201d<\/span><\/a> I love hip-hop\u2019s bravado, and the cool, removed state of much of pop music, but the news has me either crying in the shower, crying myself to sleep, or thinking of the million and one ways I can be murdered. For individuals who feel targeted because of their identity, race, or occupation, self-care is especially needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Music has always been a way for me to unplug and get away from annoying people. If you can pry yourself away from the tragedy machine known as Twitter, and the \u201cHow do I know this person?\u201d trivia game called Facebook, I encourage you to check out these two songs that help me get closer to some semblance of sanity.<\/span><\/p>\n
