'Leaving Neverland'—A Legacy That May Never Be Confirmed
Leaving Neverland, a two-part HBO documentary that chronicles the stories of two men who report they were sexually assaulted by legendary pop star Michael Jackson, is a story that may have needed to be told by some, but for others, may only pour salt in a lifelong wound.

Does T.I. Stand for the Intellectual?
There once was a Douglass High School principal in Atlanta, Georgia who encouraged his students to employ a sophisticated vocabulary in their speech. He walked the hallways like a southern Joe Louis Clark whose sections of his life made it to the big screen as played by Morgan Freeman in Lean on Me (1989). Enter Clifford Harris. A young knucklehead who was as backward as his hat in his ways. Even though he would drop out of high school eventually, he never forgot the teachings and lessons that he learned from this Atlanta principal. Fast forward about twelve years and one of the hottest MC’s to ever come from the womb of the South, T.I./TIP emerged with a flow and a unique way of expressing his music like the blues. He picked up the slang of the streets and called it trap music, stylized as TRAP MUZIK. After a slew of altercations with the law, T.I. would be a number one best selling artist while contending against the clutches of the carceral system.

The Unintentional Gaga Trend
"If I can't find the cure, I'll fix you with my love," Lady Gaga sings on her hit single "The Cure." It's such a sweet sentiment that it's hard to recognize the impact that the song had on pop culture, but rest assured the song, like the diva who sings it, changed the way the highest tier of pop divas release songs for consumption by the masses. However unintentional it was, Lady Gaga was ahead of her time when she dropped this song on the unsuspecting audience.

Iz R. Kellz Truly Guilty Az Hellz?
The Allegations So, we have been tipped off over the years of R. Kelly aka the Pied Piper aka Robert Kelly being interested in young girls. All of this stemmed from his odd "relationship" with the beautiful late singer Aaliyah. Rumored to have been married to her when she was the tender age of 15, everyone overlooked this back in the 90s. They were a dynamic duo putting out awesome music, so why mess up a good thing with rumors right?

In Memory of David Bowie
I am writing this in memory of a great man. He was a father, husband, friend, artist, mentor, and legend. He is greatly missed by many, so I am writing this as a show of love and deep appreciation for who he was and what he contributed to this world.

The Artist of 2018: Eric Nam
As we enter the final purgatorial days between Christmas and New Year, I started to get reflective. 2018 has been a great year for music in numerous ways, but I was left wondering whether there was any standout artist or artists that truly made this year their own. To avoid getting into a cliché, hype-building scenario where I beat around the bush and end up shocking nobody because the article has a title, Eric Nam was without a doubt this standout artist.

Hozier: His Return to the Music Scene
With a voice of pure soul and goodness, it's no wonder why so many people have fallen in love with Hozier. The Ireland-born singer has made his triumphant return to the music scene after a two-year hiatus. The reason I enjoy Hozier's music so much is that it has a mix of so many genres from rock to blues and even folk. This shows that he likes to experiment when it comes to music and in result, he makes really good songs.
