In a global hip-hop scene where female rappers seem to be an endangered species since the days of MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Yo Yo, Lady Of Rage, Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Eve etc., it is refreshing to hear a female from Ghana, West Africa that is not just a gimmick, but [...]

I can’t believe I am saying these words, but for the first time in my life I must say Jay Z speaks for me. He is very on point on his “We Are the World” critique. “A for effort, but come on son”! All I could think when I saw the video, after the endless [...]

By now everyone knows about John Mayer’s Playboy interview and the on going uproar over it. I didn’t want to bother to comment because John Mayer has become more tabloid fodder than the talented low key musician we used to know, and frankly I would rather pay attention to talent than the countless tabloid [...]

As I said last night to [...]

By now everyone across the globe must have heard the name Fela Anikulapo Kuti, AKA Fela, AKA Black President. If you have not then maybe you are too young or just stuck under a rock.

Genuine + Intelligent + Humble = beautiful characteristics in a man. Loving Maxwell all over again & again. Not to mention he is even more beautiful & sexy in his new look & new found grown manness!
“Why wouldn’t anyone want to go 2 Africa…it’s the motherland..at the end of the day we’re all from the [...]
