For the first “Late Night Hype” interview of the year, I’d have to say that Carl Payne II was a great way to kick things off. If this is any indication of the types of conversations I have to look forward to for 2015…BRING IT ON! Payne let me in on: his new reality show […]

It’s no wonder why the Ellen Show has done so well over the years, because it’s host does lots of great things for people. Like Ellen DeGeneres says: It costs absolutely nothing to  ‘Be kind To One Another” and she definitely practices what she preaches, I always say that it’s dope to watch my dreams come true, […]

The average person gets joy when their dreams come true. I get an even greater thrill when I get to be apart of someone else’s dream. As successful as King Keraun has become, you would think Directors of hit shows would be able to get into contact with him easily. Not exactly the case. LOL […]

Originally the concept of this song reminded me of a modern-day “The Boy Is Mine” because we rarely hear two women collaborating in music together anymore. However, “Deceiver” is totally different from that Brandy & Monica tune we all love, but it’s still dope af. This joint by Erva Carter & Courtney Shilo is about having […]

DJ Snake has been doing his thing this year from “Turn Down For What” to “You Know I Like It.” It seems as though every song he makes becomes my new favorite song. LOL  The video for this new one is very Bollywood-eque and matches the song perfectly if you ask me. Watch “Lean On” […]

This song by Flo Rida & Robin Thicke is super catchy to me. It’s been one of my fav songs of the year because it’s “feel good” music. More and more songs like these are being released from artists and I’m not complaining. The world needs a way to escape from our every day troubles […]

Round Of Applause  Finger Snaps to Taju Shoaga for being a young man of color speaking up about what’s going on in the world today. There aren’t enough of us using our voices in hopes of creating a better place to live in. This couldn’t have come at a better time, because I’m headed to […]

I still can’t seem to utter the word “Fresh” out of my mouth, because I liked the name “Short Dawg” too much. Too bad it’s not my choice. LOL Fresh is no longer with Young Money anymore…and if you wanna know why…find out what he told me in this interview last year. He’s able to […]

I was 50/50 when I first heard this song, until I took a step back and realized that this a kid who looks like he actually has his life together. He’s not talking too crazy; he’s just super hype and rapping about having confidence. I can rock with a young man like that. He has […]

Neil Patrick Harris is one of my favorite actors to keep up with because I love what he stands for as a person as well. Harris is an extremely talented guy and was one of the funniest characters on “How I Met Your Mother.” It threw people for a loop when he announced his homosexuality, […]

JR Castro (Official Late Night Hyper) has been through some things that he’s not particularly proud of. He’s shot and murdered a few people in order to get his girl back. Okay, that was a little bit of a stretch. LOL That’s the plot of his new music video short film for “Get Home.” Yes, […]

JR Castro is a man with a dope outlook on life. He’s gone through divorce, losing his mother in his 20’s, and watched his first major record deal slip from in between his hands… but he didn’t let that kill his dreams. Castro told me who helped him get through that rough patch of his life […]
