PARTYNEXTDOOR got hundreds of thousands of people excited with just a simple one-word post “Friday.” on Instagram and Twitter after his silence in music and social media for a while.

Lately, I have been on a 2000’s R&B music kick. I have a playlist with some classic Usher, Destiny’s Child, Ginuwine, and so much more.

Infamously known for his messy album releases, it was no surprise for listeners that Kanye hadContinue reading “The placebo effect with Kanye West’s “Jesus is King””

For me, October means the beginning of cuffing season, and Summer Walker’s new album “Over It” really reinforces my mindset. “Over It” sold 134,000 copies its first week and landed at the No. 2 position on the Billboard 200 chart. It is 18 tracks long with some previous big singles like “Playing Games” and “GirlsContinue reading “Summer Walker finds success with new album “Over It””

This past weekend, I started watching HBO mobster series “The Sopranos.” I am about half way into the second season, and I feel stars in my eyes when I watch the show. I feel like I have seen all the mobster movie stereotypes: expensive cars and jewelry, guns with silencers, hairy Italian men smoking likeContinue reading “Mobsters: How are they likable?”

This past Saturday, a song was released by up-and-coming RnB artist “JxdyHill” called “Elevate,” which was produced by myself and my good friend “iii.” This is my 6th song that I have worked on this year, and I am so happy to be making RnB while building my catalog. At 4 minutes and 14 seconds,Continue reading “New Music Release “Elevate””

Podcasts have been a great source of laughter and insight for me, so I thought I would share some of my favorites this month. 2Continue reading “My Favorite Podcasts: September 2019”
