[Breaking Free]
So, at the start of the month, I told you all about my hospital experience and the fast that I would be undergoing from the 4th of January to the 31st (which I’ve since referred to as Freedom Day). Well, today is the last day of the fast and it has truly been an amazing experience. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my relationship with the Lord and I’ve come to value both of...

Watch[Devil in a New Dress] [Rick Ross] [My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy]
Check out Rick Ross’ new video for his set of verses in Kanye’s Devil in a New Dress, from the My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy LP. I’m not really mad at him for making a video from somebody else’s album. He has, what seems to me, close to 30 bars in the song. Why not? It’s very simple, yet...

Watch[Moment 4 Life (ft. Drake)] [Nicki Minaj] [Pink Friday]
This song has been the perfect anthem for my year thus far, but until today, I never really got into the lyrics and appreciated everything that she says. Each lyric in the first set of verses (and a few of Drake’s verses) says [exactly] what’s been on my heart lately. My boy [Kyrell] and I are young and new to the game, but the...

[Frazier Industries]
In perfect accordance with National Mentoring Month, I just finished having an amazing conversation with Denarius Frazier, one of my favorite little brothers from Morehouse. Now, I don’t call many of the younger students at this school my little brothers and I definitely don’t call just anyone one of my favorite people, so you can definitely consider Mr. Frazier an exception. In fact,...

You Look [Dumb]
So, like I said, the energy around campus has been pretty low, so the first day wasn’t calling for too much. I kept my look simple, but I had a few nice pieces. MetroPark’s storewide 30% off clearance sale turned me on to this brand called [Dumb]. The company sells both clothing and accessories, and I didn’t realize it at the time, but I bought two items from them over the...

[Welcome Back, Jovel]
So first things first: School is officially back in session. After last week’s “snow storm,” the city of Atlanta shut down and classes were postponed for an entire week. Maybe that extra week threw a lot of people off, but this week hasn’t really felt like the first week back. I’m used to seeing people well-dressed (at least in clothes from Christmas gifts or the...

[The No Names]: Don't ask WHY, Just Chill →
[Kyrell]: D-Why is a new artist, who’s movement I undoubtedly support. He’s from West Virginia, but far from simple. I hate the word, “swag” so i’ll say he’s sartorially stuntastic. He is currently putting the finishing touches on his new mixtape titled “Don’t Flatter Yourself.” The mixtape will include many of his tracks….
