When people heard the news of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars we all thought it was a joke. As it turned out Will did slap Chris and the debate has been ongoing on whether Will was right or if Chris overstepped his comedic boundaries. Personally, I think it is none of our business, and hopefully Will and Chris can work through whatever took place at the awards show.

Maybe it is time for all of us to take a social media break. Let us put the cellphones down and turn off the televisions for a moment, then enjoy life. Could you tune out the noise of the day and enjoy some alone time? I know for me I’m going to stay in my lane and put my noise cancelling headphones on and listen to some Miles Davis.

DJ Drama & Dreamville Presents – D-Day ( A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape)

When J Cole mentioned that he was dropping a new project today, I immediately began thinking April fool’s. All jokes aside, DJ Drama and Dreamville Records linked up to drop a new mixtape D-Day. The 15 track project features the entire Dreamville Records roster and features guest appearances from 2 Chainz, G Perico, Reason, Sheck Wes, Kenny Mason, and Young Nudy.

D-Day will feed the streets with hard hitting beats and lyrics on this star-studded project. The project feels like a warm up or as a reminder that Dreamville has become a reckoning force in the music world. I found my self head bobbing to this enjoying artist who seem not to care about trends rather focusing on quality. My favorite songs on the project include “Starting 5,” “Stick,” “Hair Salon,” and “Freedom of Speech”.
