It’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you….without a dope drink to sip to. Sip to. Sip to. Sip to. If you know, you know lol. Alright, well it has been a while since I’ve done a Thirsty Thursday drink review. Today’s feature is a worthy cocktail from a few weeks ago while […]
“What happened to Mike?” This is the most popular question from readers after finishing the Fortune Cookie novel series. I purposely wrote his character to be elusive and allow people to draw their own conclusions. Little did I know how interested people would be in his final fate. I’m a firm believer that everything happens […]
The tail end of the summer has been a comeback season of sorts for several R&B heavyweights. Gone are the glitzy days of million-dollar music videos and monstrous marketing budgets that peppered the 90s. Now, social media has allowed the artist to become the machine and given record labels less power. Let’s take former R&B/pop […]
I know it’s been a while since I’ve done a Thirsty Thursday review. However, with COVID-19 still rearing its ugly head, I haven’t had a chance to frequent too many restaurants. When I do, I make it a point to try a new drink I’ve never tasted before. This week’s feature is brought to you […]
Ledisi’s latest album, The Wild Card, marks 20 years since her debut. For this reason, it may be hard for some to believe that her ninth studio album is also her first independent project in over a decade. Honestly, I think this is a great move for an artist like Ledisi. She has one of […]
Brandy is back with a vengeance promoting her new album, B7. The singer and actress has focused more on the latter in recent years, as this is her first studio LP since 2012’s Two Eleven. Fans have been anxiously waiting the return of what they call the “Vocal Bible”. Brandy herself admitted she was skeptical […]
I think we can all agree that 2020 has made us need a drink or two…or three…who’s counting? But seriously, I’ve learned to take great joy in the simple things I failed to appreciate before the troubles of this year. Since we’re still (mostly) stuck inside, I haven’t been to many bars or restaurants to […]
July 4th is always a nostalgic day for me. Of course, it’s a national holiday but it goes much deeper than that. Although 2020 has ushered in a different type of aura around the 4th of July than we all expected, I’m still grateful for the celebration. Nine years ago today, I launched this very […]
The year was 2000 and everyone was cautiously celebrating the Y2K craze. That year marked the end of a golden era for R&B in the mid to late 90s. So, it shouldn’t have been that surprising that members of each of the biggest R&B/Hip Hop groups of the 90s decided to join forces as they […]
I’ve been a fan of Run the Jewels since their debut album in 2013. In fact, to go back even further, Killer Mike (one half of the rhyming duo), has never received his just deserts as a hip hop artist. Who could forget his show-stealing flow on OutKast’s 2001 hit, “The Whole World”? Even back […]
