April 20 is notoriously celebrated by weed heads across the globe, making 4/20 as every stoner’s dream holiday an annual commemoration of the coveted plant. The transformative potential of music has long played a role in the holy ritual of sparking one up and toking some grass. Whatever your cypher looks like, rest assured it is not one that should be without a most necessary soundtrack to help find your groove in the ganja. There are many artists across varied genres – hip-hop, R&B and alternative included – whose offerings deserve a good spin on a day like today—seven tracks to be exact. Some are well known. Others are semi-hidden gems. All make for a righteous session of getting lifted. Peep the rundown, and happy National Weed Smoking Day!
