Polymath Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Releases His ‘Stories of the Lost, Rich & Tormented’ EP
From Amir Royale Sophomore year, NYU Tisch’s Clive Davis Institute, 2017. I created the concept of Stories of the Lost, Rich & Tormented as a "Writing the Hit Song: Deep Cutz" homework assignment. Over the course of 14 weeks, I crafted and reworked about 12 or so ideas. Suddenly, my songwriting professor at the time (Eren Cannata of Cove City Sound Studios, Facethouse Records & Warner Chapel Music), directed us to use all the content we created thus far to formulate an EP. This project would then become one we’d pitch and present to potential A&R scouts. It was our final project. I curated 5 of my best records across the class to showcase a conceptual narrative and description of greed, lust, and youth insecurity within American culture. It is the final entry within my four-EP-long music chronicle (dating back to my 2015 EP, This Is for You.). To let this project go free finally—feels like a blessing. Thank you.

Ejaculate Responsibly
When it comes to birth control, women end up taking the reins for the most part. After all it is their bodies that will change as well as the responsibility of a child. This thought process has been ingrained for years in the female gender, but it is truly a cooperative responsibility, after all , as the old saying goes, it takes two to tango. Why should the sole responsibility be on the parent who carries the unborn?

I just heard that Take Off the rapper that was part of the rap trio better known as the "Migo's" was recently gunned down.
The Migo's lost one of their best rappers yesterday evening, and we'll never be the same. Take Off was gunned down, I hope his friends, and family are okay, and are not dying from mourning.

The Memory Lane Of Music
I was driving around my town on my errands, one of the songs I was listening to sparked an idea for this article. I was at a red light about to turn onto the long road to the interstate and I thought about something, have I ever thought about all the songs I listened to and remembered where and when they were?
