What's up everyone, I know I've been on hiatus but I've been listening to some great music lately, and some from one of my favorite artists, Drake. Drake dropped two new singles a couple weeks ago, with God's Plan and Diplomatic Immunity. These are hits already and God's Plan has already gone platinum. Drake also shot the music video and released it last week . The video is set in downtown Miami, FL and Drake gives back to the community and gives money to those in need, cars, and other charitable organizations in the process. It was just under a million, but money wasn't an issue for Drake.  Check out the hit song and the wonderfully shot video! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/XUqRem0W8L8

What is up everyone, I know it has been a while since I last posted, but I hope everyone is excited for the Halloween season. Lately, I've been listening to some old school jams, some new jack swing r/b jams. I  was jamming out and came across a classic one, Rub You The Right Way By Johnny Gill.  For those of you who know Johnny Gill, he was a apart of New Edition in the later years, once Bobby Brown left the group for a solo career. Gill, an accomplished solo artist before joining the group, just added and carried the group to the next level.  With Rub You The Right Way, Gill shows off his slick moves and range as an artist. Enjoy and do that new jack swing!  You can also check out the original music video on Vimeo.

What's up everyone! I know it has been awhile since I have last posted but I want to share my thoughts on the upcoming NBA season. There was a lot of free agency and trade movement this past offseason, since the Golden State Warriors won the title under Kevin Durant. However, this caused some movements in the league, such as Kyrie Irving demanding a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers  and LeBron James, who went to the finals the past three years, facing Golden State. The trade was for the NBA's mighty little man, Isaiah Thomas of the Celtics , Jae Crowder and a draft pick.  In the western conference, Paul Geroge and Carmelo Anthony were traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the reigning MVP Russell Westbrook. In addition, Chris Paul was traded to the Houston Rockets and joining James Harden.  Another surprise trade, was Jimmy Butler being traded on draft night from Chicago to the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he joins rising stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.
