Music Review – Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late
Either you’re a Drake fan or you’re not. It seems like most of the reviews I’m reading online for Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late are from fans or well-known publications brown nosing as to not burn bridges in lieu of a future…
WATCH – Goodbye Tomorrow’s “Jay-Z”
The mysterious artist Goodbye Tomorrow recently released a video to his new song Jay-Z. The track is already nice but the creativity of the video suggests that GT may be in the vein of Talib Kweli, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar as it pertains to…

REVIEW: Lee Daniels’ Light-Skinned Hip-Hop Series EMPIRE
I got to see an early screening of the first episode of Empire on a big screen here in Atlanta. The room was packed with well dressed black people of different ages, shades, genders and sexual orientations. Very nice crowd.

Mini Music Reviews: D’Angelo, J. Cole and Ghostface Killah
