Before I could even press play on this track, I had to grab my headphones so that I could hear every single lyric, breath and drop in the beat. I am completely and utterly obsessed with all things Kehlani and I ain’t too proud to admit it. This girl’s sultry and raspy voice is literally one of […]

I’m a tad bit disappointed in this year’s Grammy nominations. When I read the full list of artists that were up for awards, I thought there were more than a few that were missing. I’m starting to see that this show really is rigged. It’s GOTTA be about who’s friends with who, cause it’s evident […]

I became a huge fan of Chance The Rapper after watching him gain full control of a wild crowd of drunk and hungry people at the Free Press Summer Fest earlier this year. It takes a special kind of somebody to get my attention, once my mind is focused on food. I developed a deeper […]

Even though I’m on the radio, acting is my first love. One of my favorite characters to play was the Scarecrow in The Wiz. We had a Toto in our entire show because my director added a special part for a person to play the dog in the play. However, in the original musical version […]

I already was a fan of Somo’s sound, but I think going to his concert made me like him even more. He sat down with me before the show to catch up on how his life has been on the road. Afterwards he gave me some All Access passes so I could get a behind-the-scenes […]

I don’t understand why Farrah Franklin claimed that Beyonce is a bold-faced liar in a recent interview, but has a picture of the Queen in this new “Magic And Make Up” video. Wait… I do know the reason why; her team must think the photo-opp will build up her fanbase. WRONG. If anything, it’s making […]

I can’t even deal right now! Let me just warn you before you click the play button: this interview is nothing but PURE ENTERTAINMENT!!! RELATED: Say Something Nice About Farrah Franklin’s “Magic and Make Up” Video There’s something about Farrah Franklin’s story that just doesn’t add up. I’m saddened that she thinks she can call Beyonce […]

Some of my favorite throwback sitcoms that starred African-Americans are Martin, One On One, Moesha, Girlfriends, The Fresh Prince & The Parkers. TV literally made me forget about my problems in those days. Shoot, they would even tackle real-life issues that our community experienced. Now, there’s more trashy sportswives reality shows on our screens and […]

Last time Somo was in town, I was a little bit disappointed because I had to miss his sold-out show.  My experience at his recent Fallin’ Up Tour made up for it though. I got to watch his performance from backstage (which I think is even better than front row). Watch me make a special cameo […]

Dabbing is a way of fashion…. as Migos would say. I’ve been loving this dab movement that’s been making it’s way from ATL to around the country. I first learned about it this summer… and I’m sure you’ll be able to find my “How To” video somewhere on the net. WARNING: It’s not a pretty […]

It’s a shame to what our world has come to nowadays. My generation is generally not impressed with people physically, unless they’re showing skin! SMH What ever happened to morals? That’s one of the main reasons Shanice Williams is my pick for Woman Crush Wednesday today. She’s a girl who embodies beauty… with her clothes […]

I think this new Pimp C album will help expose who this legendary king was to young bucks who may not know him. It caught my attention just from the clips from the MARTIN TV Show. The production value of the tracks I’ve been hearing have been A1. The music that has been released from […]
