June Mix - 1. Kanye West - Jesus Walks
Nothing says summer like Kanye's smash hit, "Jesus Walks." The first time I heard this song was my first day at work for the summer of 2004 just having moved home from school. Yes, I know this CD was out months before that, but I hesitated to jump on the Kanye bandwagon. This wasn't technically the first single off the record, but I feel this was the song that put Kanye on the map. Anywhere you turned that summer, you could hear this song on the radio, blasting out of cars, at the swimming pool, or anywhere else that pumped out the jam. The tempo and urgency of the song I feel will set a nice tone for the rest of the mix.
