Drake & Future tape, “What A Time To Be Alive”, has the Hip Hop scene Boomin’. Some people feel like it could have been better. Others feel that this project is mirroring Jay and Kanye’s “Watch The Throne” or Birdman and Wayne’s “Like Father Like Son” album. Personally, it seems like in order to make quality music for the fans, you have to collaborate with other artists just to make a classic tape. Each artist can stand on their own without question but does that cause a debate on who is the better artist when they collab? It is similar to the NBA with all these outrageous trades. Prime example, Lebron left for Miami and got two rings with D. Wade and Chris Bosh. He then went back to Cleveland and put up numbers but then lost overall. Can Future or Drake get to the top with and without each other? Both are hot, but numbers don’t lie.

2015 MTV Video Music Awards
There were many losers and winners at this years VMAS as there is every year because many artists are nominated for each category but there can only be one winner. This also goes for the fashions that graced the red carpet this year…..many losers. Is this a circus or an award show? I could not tell the difference. I will just say that I have seen circuses more elegant and stylish than Sunday nights award show.
We will start with the losers, the many losers 🙁
For starters, The BIGGEST loser, Miley Cyrus. As if her hosting the award show wasn’t enough torture. I cringed at every single outfit change. It is understandable that she desires to differentiate Hannah Montana from her true self, but the craziness overshadows the real beauty and talent Miley possesses.
More Fashion Losers
I do not consider anyone a winner this year, but if I had to pick it would be Britney Spears. This may be a sympathy vote because I grew up a huge Britney fan and I am glad to see her healthy and happy. Her physique is looking great, giving the old Britney a run for her money.
More fashion “Winners”

KD Young Cocky Rises In The Heat of The Moment
KD Young Cocky, is a Chicago artist that continues to push weight with his music. With his latest 11 track project “Heat of the Moment”, that dropped July 28th, he created more buzz about his artistry than before. “If you ain’t getting money what you come around for?” That is the question that KD Young Cocky asks in his song “Check Up”. This song is dope because it expresses the point of the come up, which is to elevate oneself as an individual and to make money. Well, at least that’s what most of us desire. I also really like his track “Boss Up” ft. Neil gang discussing how he rocks with a certain female.
Not only is KD Young Cocky an artist but he is a great father to his little girl. Although he started his music way before his daughter was born, he feels that she has been a bigger motivation on his road to success.
Watch the interview I did with KD Young Cocky below discussing how long he’s been in the game, the cockiest thing about him, being a young father, and much more! (Please read the disclaimer about this video in the info box on YouTube.)
As implied from my earlier statements, my favorite tracks on this new project are “Boss Up” and “Check Up”. Listen to the full project “The Heat of The Moment” below and comment your favorite tracks on this project.
The Righteous Slimm Pusha
Elliott Sirah better known as Slimm Pusha was born in Montgomery, AL but currently resides in Atlanta, GA. Since he began his artistry in Jackson, MS he will always rep no matter where he journeys, even while continuously gaining new fans in other cities. Slimm Pusha, originally caught my attention in 2011, with his hot single “Lady friend” that featured Trey Parker now known as Silas. When I heard Slimm’s flow, I witnessed something intriguingly authentic. His voice is smooth and no matter how dope the beat is, I am still able to focus on his meaningful lyrics.
Since 2011, after dropping his first project the “Bing Bang Bata Mixup”, Slimm has not stopped moving. He was on MTV’s Rap Fix Live twice, he dropped more music, and projects with his latest project being “Hennessi Very Special Combaq”. He also has a short film that recently dropped called “Y.O.D.I.E.” which stands for your dream is everything. In the interview below he reveals that his new project “Only For the Freaks, Only For the Righteous” will be dropping sometime at the end of the year.
Slimm Pusha is truly righteous because he not only writes music that hits the soul but his spirit enlightens others to live their true passion. Watch the interview that I did with Slimm Pusha below and comment your thoughts!!!
Here is his latest video “PLASTIK” which explains how some men and women are not true to themselves or others because they are fake.
