Has Bryan Adams Gone Batty?
As Canadians, we are generally believed to be unfailingly polite, and our good humor and manners are often the stuff of both jokes and legend. That may have now changed thanks to Canadian icon #BryanAdams, who was to have begun a three-night stint at London, England's #RoyalAlbertHall on May 11, 2020.

Ziggy Marley
ZIGGY MARLEY is a man on a mission, and for one so softly spoken, his words are strong. ‘I encourage humanity to rise up and do something about the problems of our planet,’ he says. ‘We are out of balance. Our environment is being destroyed and the people in charge don’t care. They’d sacrifice everything to economics. It’s down to music to spread the word.’

Rock 'N' Roll Legend Little Richard Dead At 87
#LittleRichard, the man behind such hits as "Good Golly, Miss Molly!" and "Long Tall Sally," has died at the age of 87. He was perhaps the pioneer behind the androgynous rock star image later popularized by the likes of David Bowie and Prince, frequently coming out in impressive pompadour hairstyles, clothes that glittered under the spotlight, and wearing colors that were a significant departure for other rockers of his generation. Gone were the muted tones that many of Little Richard's contemporaries wore; when Little Richard came on stage, he was wearing androgynous makeup (usually some sort of eyeliner, at the very least), and he would be wearing clothes that, if not brightly colored, were festooned in crystals or sequins. In later years, he would hit the stage in shoes with a slight heel, shoulder length curls and the same bright colors.

2020 Hip Hop Survival Kit (COVID-19 ERA)
The weather is good around the Bay lately and I’ve been itching to get back to my routine making my rounds. However these are dark days we are experiencing currently with this Covid-19 pandemic and there is no question that all industries are affected. That includes the rap game and so I’ve been thinking about the things I did to get in the game, and how now I can’t even do some of those things. Now it is more evident then ever that times have changed, and we all need to re-evaluate our game. Right now I can’t hit up the club with my squad and get my singles played, can’t even hit the mall to promote and sell cd’s in the parking lot. I was working on touring this Spring and now thats all off the table. After a recent meeting with 106.1 KMEL about my single getting aired, and talks with BET about getting the video in rotation, things have stalled. I’ve been getting the run around about how this virus has shut down a lot of offices, and pushed back certain things. So now I’m looking at 2020 like, how can switch up the plan and still thrive in this downward spiral we’re going through. So I put together this 2020 Rapper Survival Kit to use as a guideline, and help other artists who may need direction.

SUPERPOWERS INSPIRED by a DIVA
I have to make this very clear that I have not met this woman personally, she could be a stick in the mud. She could even be extra petty with sugar on top. Her quirks could be unreasonable and embarrassing. This woman could be so shy and socially awkward, she is barely able to leave her home.

My Saviour Is Me
There it is again, tall dead grass, so tall I can't see over it. There are gravel roads, each road splits into another, but there was only a forward or a backward. The sun is scorching when I go backward. I know this path; it leads me to a house where malice lurks behind the curtains. It's raining and dark out when I go forwards. I follow the path to a payphone, where I frantically dial buttons on the keypad but I can't see. It rains harder by this stage, and a truck pulls up beside me. A tall, broad-shouldered man slams his truck door and starts to run at me. He leaves his engine running. I can't see him, the glare from his headlights bounces off the raindrops. I have to run, but I'm running blind.
