It’s hard to accept the lost of a loved one. Most people build shrines, carry pictures and/or get tattoos to symbolize that loved one being with them forever and Paris Jackson is no different. The 18 year old eccentric daughter of the late Michael Jackson posted on her Instagram page a new tattoo of her dad from his 1993 Dangerous Album.This tattoo, is an addition to the others that she has, but this is the best one by far. It a piece of remembrance and a sign that her guardian angel will forever be with her. As he is with all of us. R.I.P. to the King of Pop.
Recap of Daze 5 Day Spring Break Summit Presented By Scott Morris
When you hear the name Scott Morris, a few words come to mind; innovative, talented, courageous, leadership, etc. the list goes on and on but the best word to describe him would be humble. Since his freshman year of college, Morris has had a vision of helping others in a way that would matter to the world. He came up with the idea of showcasing the talent of performers in the underground world, becoming an inspiration to the youth not only in his neighborhood but to youth across the country.

This past Spring Break was anything but a break for the legend in the making. Scott Morris and his team decided to focus their attention on the children of tomorrow, high school students. In doing so, a special 5 day event entitled Daze 5 Day Spring Break Summit was born.Daze is a fund raising event, where friends, family and supporters donated to help Morris create a scholarship program where a lucky high school student will have help getting through college. Morris was able to raised close to the of $1000 and is still collecting donations until that goal is met.From April 27th to May 1st, this Summit was held in different venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn and it consisted of a Hip Hop Showcase, two panel discussions , a paint and poetry session and an epic to celebrate this special occasion.

Album Review: Drake’s Views
So it finally happened, last Thursday Drake gave fans exactly what they were waiting for, his fourth studio album, Views and fans have been playing it for days straight. Since the surprise release exclusively on Apple Music, the 20 track album has sold over 600 thousand copies in its first night. Talk about support!Like his other albums, Drake has stepped outside box and presented a different sound on this album. From the start to finish, each song has a different vibe for the current mood that you are in. Serious, party, fun, you name it, it’s there. He also pays homage to DMX on the song U With Me? As well as dabbling in the world of Reggae/Dancehall music on many of his tracks by using the dialect and collaborating with artists from the country of Jamaica. But there are some questions that a lot of fans would like the answers to.Before releasing the album, Drake released two singles Pop Style, featuring Kanye West and Jay Z and Controlla featuring Jamaican Superstar Popcaan, so what happened to those versions being in the album? It was a big shock that fans didn’t appreciate, and those opinions were expressed on many social media outlets such as Snapchat, twitter, and instagram.Hopefully, the 6 God will have answers for fans soon. Here are a few of my favorite songs from the album thus far, Too Good featuring Rihanna, Redemption, and Grammys featuring Future. This album also comes with a surprise collaboration with the late great Pimp C. If you haven’t listened to the album yet, you clearly need too.
