Six Flags Great Adventure
Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey is the first water park and amusement park that I had ever went to. Years later when I graduated from highschool for our senior trip six flags in Boston was one of the places on our senior trip itinerary. We went to the land of Looney Tunes at this one particular Six Flags and Six Flags was always fun the two times that i had ever went there at different locations, of course. Six Flags great adventure is known for their awesome roller coasters and they are killer coasters and everything else is cool. If you ever have the chance to go to Six Flags I suggest that you do.

Babalu Aye cover by Rikki La Rouge
what you are hearing in this article is my cover of the iconic Cuban song Babalu Aye. Like Willy Chirino says about himself, hijo de Babalu I believe in Babalu myself too. Babalu was introduced to American audiences on the famed classic and iconic 1950 sitcom starring Lucille Ball and Desi I love Lucy. Desi is underrated and a genius who deserves to be more celebrated than he was. He was truly and over looked icon. Everyone focused on Lucille Ball but they overlooked Desi . Also, that’s something I’ll get into another article.

Rikki La Rouge covers Thunder by Imagine Dragons
my version of thunder by Imagine Dragons is throwback to Latin music of the 1950s. It’s cha-cha mambo. I love how intense my version of thunder by . It’s Latin music with English language lyrics. It’s tropical music Ingles. It’s got drive and intensity. I wanted to be as if not a little bit more intense than the original version of thunder by the Imagine Dragons. once again when I was recording this, I was songs that were relevant around that time and this was one of the songs that I really paid attention to I thought it would’ve been cool to do a classic Latin version of thunder and so I went for it and I’m glad that I did.

Rikki La Rouge cover of Dead or Alive You spin me right round
have that song you spin me and I always liked it and so I decided to do mariachi version of . Now the music is a little louder than some of the vocals, but it really is a decently recorded track to say the least. everything I was going for as far as song goes really is there and it makes sense and it hits the mark and everything so why I decided to do an article and post it here too. This song is also in my X-rated cover playlist on YouTube. even though the song sounds like it does there really is something there and I’m not just saying that I’m the one that produced it performed it and everything else I mean, I know that I rushed it a little bit but still what I was going for is really still there in the demo itself so you can see that I had if you see if I had better recording equipment I would’ve been able to make it a hell of a lot better than what I did, but you learned to make do and stuff but every recording equipment I’ve ever used always produced really good stuff for me.

Rikki La Rouge Cover of Como La Flor and Baila Este Cumbia
This is a rough demo I did of the Selena song Como La Flor. Even though it’s a rough demo, it did record really well. I recorded because she’s one of my favorite all-time singers. Also, when I was in high school, I sang in a talent show, and I decided to do my version of the Selena used to open the song by doing of the course first and then so I did a studio or makeshift studio in my case version of that song and it did come out really well, even though it was a rough demo that I did and it’s only rough because the what I recorded on was not equipped for that.

Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.

Andando en el barrio por Rikkilarouge 2021 released on the Spinnup InGrooves Universal Music Group disco con la Luna guiarme
this is a video for salsa song of mine that I did called Andando en el Barrio. In English, it means walking in the neighborhood. This was a song that I did on my last album in Spanish called con La luna Guiarme , which means with the moon to guide me. The song itself was from when I went walking in Spanish Harlem one day. I went in order to try to find this mural that was done . No such but I song that you have today. The album and song was released on spin up record label that used to be on universal music group. There’s another version of this there’s another video for this song, but I prefer this one instead. This is one of the music videos that my first music videos that I started directing myself. There are other music videos that I’ve directed and in the future, I’ll be posting them so you guys can see. The concept for the music video and the concept for itself go together beautifully hand-in-hand. The other video version for this song I’m not a big fan of it because I was really in bad shape when I recorded that one. But this one is a heck of a lot better. I’m not saying the other one isn’t good. I’m just saying I was out of shape when I shot it, though just being honest here. I really directing music videos. It’s another outlet of creativity that I found that I could actually do with success. there are other tracks that I recall that I directed just I guess you could say drafts and stuff but no. But for in the neighborhood I went with a concept of one day I was in my car and I just to recording the stores in the city streets as we were passing and it fit right there along with the music so very well. I later back at it it came out really really well. This version of the video I’m a lot more happier this version than I am with the other one for obvious reasons I don’t look that good in the other one that’s mainly a reasonable vanity but still that’s a good reason not to want that video over this one. This video was comes from footage. I took when I went to New York City and other surrounding areas too. Like there’s a mural of Tito Puente in it. I also saw mural of Celia Cruz in it that I saw that I just wanted to add in the music video too Just a shout out and tribute to two Latin music greats.

P!nk and Garbage put stupid girls in their places
Musical artists P!nk and Garbage have combated all of the stupid girls of the world, and rightfully so. Both acts have two separate songs on the same subject and name but the two songs let all the stupid girls have it coming from both artist directions as well as perspectives. Beginning with P!nk's song, since she is a Pop music artist and has always been tongue in cheek but she keeps it to the point and pulls no punches and lets them all have and leaving morals also to be learned too. The video is great too, and at the time that i was made P!nk takes aim at girls who get implants, puke in the sink to be skinny, and it is a great video. All of the lyrics are full of advice and warnings she encourages girls that they can achieve anything they want they just have to do in instead of letting society brainwash them down the wrong road into stupidity and mediocrity as well. At the end of the video P!nk saves the day of a little girl who was almost brainwashed by television and picks up her football and runs outside in the sunshine to play and shape her own destiny.

House of Gucci
Everyone knows it's a star-studded cast, so I'm going to focus on the story itself. The Gucci story is a real-life soap opera. It has sex, betrayal, drugs, murder, and much more, all under the umbrella of high fashion and haute couture. I love this movie, and I'm in the minority, as most other opinions didn't like it. Foolish as it may sound, from beginning to end, this film was consistently great, and I loved every minute of it. I loved the movie each and every minute, it is a real life soap opera in the Gucci Fashion empire. Scandalous.
