Eh? Could Be Worse.

Lets Just Keep It 100 So I'm gonna keep it real right now. Music is cool to talk about and all that, but sometimes I just need to hear nature. I usually don't talk about how we can get overwhelmed by the world around us, but lately the world has been getting to me. At times, we get really down on ourselves about things that are happening in our lives. It seems our lives are so revolved around school, work and other tasks that we forget to take a step back for everything. I personally found that going into the woods helps me appreciate the small things. Hearing the birds, the smell of everything and seeing nature is what helps me relax. It just felt good to just take a step back from normal life, and to switch things up. I feel like right now is a perfect time to just to go into nature. Fall is here, but it's Florida so it may not feel like it. We have to make the best with what we got though, but I believe that just taking a walk around an area during the sunset to cl...

Drake As A Brand What can I say about Drake, Papi Champu, Champagnepapi, The 6 God and my favorite Aubrey. Believe it or not, but Drake is probably one of the strongest brands in the world right now. When you listen to the radio, at least one of his songs will come on. Drake not only limited himself to music, but he has his own line of Whiskey called Virginia Black and he is the owner of October's Very Own. The Toronto based rapper has excelled and surpassed all of the expectations of a rapper. He has been able to stay relevant for the last 10 years, and it look as if he will not be stopping anytime soon. Drake not only has a sneaker deal, but the brand he is signed to Nike. This is a clear example on how much confidence Nike has in the Drake brand as well. Rumors Let's be serious though, Drake cannot do all these things himself. It is not clear, but many people believe that Drake's music label is not actually a label. In fact, It is an "OVO Sweatshop" t...

To first explain, SoundCloud a site where anyone can post music and other audio clips. Many artist have came from SoundCloud like Post Malone and Lil Pump to name a few. I will be pointing out 5 SoundCloud songs you probably never heard, but should listening to before it blows up. At times I believe I have good taste in music, so these songs should be all hits. 1. KoVu - Talladega Nights (Emily's song) I honestly found this song when I got caught up in a SoundCloud rapper hunt. What I can say about this song is that it starts off like a typical song rap song, and at the middle part of the song the artist KoVu slows the song down. The transition is crazy to me because he just slows the beat down, and it becomes a different song all together. If you like rap that isn't in your face, and want something to vibe to check it out Here . 2. GG Leaks </3 - Earnhardt ft. Kidd It may seem like I really like NASCAR because of the past two song titles, but I reall...

How Mumble Rap Saved Rap What do Lil Uzi Vert, Future and Playboi Carti all have in common? They all saved rap at one point. The genre of rap was created in the 1970s, it started with an individual rhyming over a beat. Now rap is a lot more different. The new style is called Mumble rap.  Mumble rap is when the artist uses ad-libs such as Yeah, Wow and ESKETIT. Along with these ad-libs are lyrics that have no significance. Mumble rap is popular due to the fact that it has saved rap for the better. Before mumble rap, artist would rap about their problems that no one really cares about. Mumble rap takes a different approach. A typical song starts off with a catchy beat with a 808. If you don't know what an 808 then go do your research, and then comeback! Along with a ignorant beat comes ignorant lyrics. Here is a example of a Playboi Carti lyric, "Shawty wanna ball with the team. Money sitting tall, Yao Ming." As you can tell these lyrics are not the deepest, but ...

Waltz This blog post is going to be a lot more different than the normal trending fashion things. This weekend I went to FSU for my friend's girlfriends birthday. It was a lot to take in. His girlfriend is extra with a lot of things she does, so her 21 wouldn't be different. The theme was Tiki and Tails. It was pretty original. Everyone pretty much had to wear tropical themed clothing. It started out really good, until her pre-game of 9 people turned into a pre-game of 50 in a small apartment. We then had to ditch that event to make it to a club she wanted to go to.  The club was fun, and I'm pretty sure my friend's girlfriend has a great time too. By the end of the night, we all somehow made it to the apartment we were staying at. At that time, we were all exhaust. The apartment we stayed at was a 2 by 2, so mostly everyone had to find a couch or air mattress.  The party was fun, but all I can say is that I really never missed my bed so much in my life...

Off-White and Nike? So this week pictures and the actual shoes have surfaced of the Off-white and Nike. For those who aren't really into fashion, Off-white is a brand created by Virgil Abloh. He is really close to the new rap artists like the Asap Mob and Playboi Carti. Virgil is also really close friends with Kanye West. It is insane to me thatVirgil was able to get a collaboration with Nike; the nike brand that has the most recognizable logo in the world. To me, it is like a friend making it big. From the pictures of the shoes, Nike pretty much let Virgil do his thing with the creative process. The shoes have such a really crazy design, due to the fact that it is a Off-white collaboration. Virgil was able to put small hints of his brand onto the shoe. He put a weird zip tie onto the shoes as well, but instead of ruining the shoe, it made the shoes standout. The down part of the shoes are that they are really hard to find, and those who do have them don't want to ...
