Raheem DeVaughn first caught my attention with his singles “You” & “Woman” from his first two studio projects “The Love Experience” & “Love Behind the Music,” respectively. Both singles pay homage to the beauty and the strength of a woman. A man after my heart. Earlier this year he released his third full length studio [...]
The other day, I watched the press conference with Rev Al Sharpton and the parents of Trayvon Martin, after watching the press conference of Angela Cory, the special prosecutor assigned to the case. Rev Al said a few times that this was not something we could be happy about; he said “I don’t want to [...]
I thought that when I completed the Lenten fast I would be starving for meat. There was a time somewhere around the 5th week where it was heavy on my mind. I had some precise visions of a good steak and a some lamb tips with a cucumber yogurt sauce. The thoughts were so strong, [...]
The sad truth is Trayvon Martin’s death is not an isolated incident. Racial profiling, prejudice and discrimination are not a figment of black American’s imagination. I am tired. Exhausted. I can’t imagine how the elders feel. Having lived through the Civil Rights’ Movement only to see that all these years later that a human with [...]
Some days I learn so much it makes my head ache. Processing the world we live in is enough to drive you crazy, quite literally. Thankfully, I blessed with an incredible instrument. This vessel the Most High has gifted me to move through this realm in, is -inside and out- amazing. I pray I can [...]

I was baptized, had my first communion and confirmation at Saint Peter’s Church in Springfield, MA. I was even a Sunday School assistant for a while. I used to help [...]
“Your boy Mully up in here”…doing big things and rising to the top. We expect nothing less from the cream of the crop. This time he’s nominated in the XXL 2012 Freshman Class but he’s not fresh meat. On the scene nationally since 2007, MullyMan is Baltimore’s unrelenting street representative. His work has been featured [...]
It’s no secret that I am a huge Anthony Hamilton fan. The man’s voice just does it for me. So yes, I am biased. Couple his soulful vocals with strong meaningful lyrics and we are blessed once again. Anthony’s forth studio album, “Back to Love” was released earlier this week. The 12 track project (…there [...]
I was hanging out last summer, sometime, with this Haitian sister I know, she and my younger brother used to be co-workers. We link up sometimes, she’s good people. We were chilling in Hollywood and we stumbled upon this spot called Tempo Lounge. The decor is immediately relaxing. High ceilings painted to resemble the clouds of [...]
