Surprise Album Reaches Number 1 on Billboard Chart

Controversy is how you start a buzz around an album, but no one ever tells an artist how to get out of their contract.




With rumors surrounding whether this is Drake’s last album with Cash Money Records, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late has made Number 1 on Billboard 200 Chart.
The album is described from some bloggers as a mixtape, but either way no one expected this album before July’s Views From The 6.

Kelly Rowland's Dirty Laundry




Kelly Rowland a member of Destiny's Child released a song called Dirty Laundry. The title speaks volumes about what you would expect from the song. It is much more personal and it's not your typical dirty laundry about a woman who is being cheated on by a boyfriend. This is a real song that discusses issues in relationships and it is deep. It's a real eye-opener to what you think you know about an artist and their inner circle. 

According to Global Grind Rowland's alleged abuser is a Cudda Love, Nelly's former manager and bodyguard. About ten years ago when Rowland was filming the music video Dilemma with Nelly, she was dating Love. Besides speaking about being in an abusive relationship Rowland speaks on her relationship with Beyonce Knowles. Rowland says her relationship with Love overshadowed and strained her relationship with Knowles. She became jealous of Knowles yet Knowles still tried to help Rowland by being by her side and saying Rowland needed to leave her alleged abuser. 
This is a Rowland's most powerful and personal song.

Stand Out Lyrics


I swear ya'll don't know half of this industry.
Oh no baby you gotta leave!
He turned me against my sister.
I was mad at everybody, everybody.

Modern Day Cotton Club








I maybe be seventeen years late but better late then never. The funk Jazz Kafe has been around since 1994 and is a performing and visual arts concert. According to the website fjk.com they are a multi-faceted arts and music festival which links fashion, food, wellness and spoken word. Sounds like my kind of party where you can hangout, meet new people and just have your mind natural elevated through emotions. I happened to click on the website while browsing through Clutch online magazine, my two-year obsession. I just had to have my fix because besides the innovative articles, the side advertisements always catch my eye. And the Funk Jazz Kafe was bright with an interesting movie poster, a collage on the side of a woman's face. How artistic, I thought, as I tried to name all the artish on the poster. Under the vivid movie poster was a video. It was truly a pleasure watching it; I felt my soul dance and my voice sung. The video was a trailer for FJK's movie; I say documentary. The movie encourages people to support FJK Festival by showing interviews of artists' experiences of the festival. The short clips of live performances were so quintessential, so emotional. They were uplifting, they had sass and yeah they had soul! In the trailer many artist answered the question of what the music of today lacks, soul. They spoke of record labels trying to place artist in a category and if a category was non existent then record labels said you were too "bohemian" and not black enough. How absturd that one company can dictate to a race of people their behavior. It is so appalling how upbeat, soulful, touching music is labeled as too much for a record company. Black music is being watered-down, which means we are being deprive of nutrition. Our youth are victims of malnutrition and executive board members are the leaders of this fiasco. In order to an end to soulless music and heartless children save the music and pay to see Diary of a Decade. I have no idea if the premieres are only in Atlanta but the website it says tickets can be purchased online.
