R.I.P. Juice WRLD
I woke up to the saddest news this morning. Unfortunately, A member of the Hip-Hop community has been lost today. On Sunday, December 8, 2019 Rapper known as Juice WRLD born Jarod Higgins, has passed away at the age of 21. He reportedly died after having a seizure at Chicago’s midway airport after getting off a plane from Los Angeles. So far, no official cause of death has came out but reports have been proven that they were drugs found on the plane. He has no been no stranger to drugs and has been very open to his pill addiction. It has been promoted in songs and clear examples of those are like “Lean with Me,” “Realer n Realer” and “Hear me Calling.” This saddens me the most because Juice WRLD was from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. I feel like he helped influence the sound of Chicago Hip-hop in a great way. He was one of the leading figures in hip hop today due to his incredible freestyle and great music. This made me think of what I hope young people can learn from leading forward in life.

Shakira: Once Only a Latino Act, She Is Now a True Staple of Globalization . Top Story - November 2019.

The musical style of the song was familiar; similar to the songstress aesthetic of the 90's crafted by artists such as Joan Osborne, Alanis Morissette, and Jewel. However, the voice was not familiar whatsoever. What was more surprising is that she was singing in Spanish.
