Oughton Tanera's 'Leave the Marked Path' Album Review
It seems this album is about a conflicting relationship where one person is leaving and the other person is holding on for dear life. It is very inspirational, telling the audience that, despite the ups and down of life, there is always something to hold on to and it will be worth it in the end. A spectacular listen! I hope to hear more music coming soon from Oughton Tanera. I would rate this album 8.5/10!

Logic is easily one of the most underrated artists in the rap game. Despite having all of the perks — the cult-like following, sold out tours, killer lyricism, two albums that went gold and another that went platinum — it still feels like he’s an underdog.

Rodney DeCroo: Old Tenement Man
For a non-believer, one of the strangest stories in the Bible has to be that of Jacob wrestling with God. For those who aren’t familiar with the story, God, interestingly, lost the fight, but was able to dislocate Jacob’s hip, causing Jacob to limp for the rest of his life. What doesn’t kill you doesn’t necessarily make you stronger. Some wounds last forever, and for those who have been deeply scarred, healing is the work of a lifetime.

Songs to Savor
I don't know about you, but I listen to music practically 24/7. I enjoy having a soundtrack to my day, something to keep my story driving on. Whether it be listening to "Sh Boom" while cooking pasta, the Mamma Mia soundtrack while speed-walking to class in the morning, or a classic Beatles tune while putting my laundry away, music plays a huge role in my life.

The 'List: 1977
Hello one and all. Like the Tony Manero (John Travolta) character from Saturday Night Fever, I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and while my recollection is pretty fuzzy at this point, I do remember going to the supermarket on Thursdays with my mom to buy groceries. I remember going to kindergarten at a local head start nearby. I remember my mother casually announcing that I had a baby sister on the way and I do remember sitting in front of the television enjoying everything from The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, The Six-Million Dollar Man, The Donny & Marie Show, The Captain & Tennille Show and wall-to-wall segments regarding the soon-to-be-blockbuster smash, George Lucas' seminal space-opera, Star Wars.
