Almost every neighborhood across the country had a crew, some even had several. A group of kids who became friends based on their simple love for bikes, and the freedom of being able to explore the surrounding areas, while riding their bikes. In my neighborhood, there were a few biking crews, but there was one that really stood out. 

There was a crew that knew how to fix bikes; so everyone in the neighborhood would come to them to get their bikes fixed. Each crew member had bikes that they customized themselves using different parts that they bought from the local bike shop, and spray-painted to give them an even cooler look. Fast forward to our teenage years, a few of them outgrew that phase and most of them graduated from their bike crew.

I finally found a series that I am actually going to watch weekly. Can you believe it? In case you’re new here, I’m an extreme binge watcher. I literally wait until a series is finished before watching it. I may watch an episode or two to gauge my interest level, but I’ll stop there and wait until it’s end before watching it all at once. But recently, Peacock’sBel-Air”, temporarily changed that. One of the series' stars, Courtney “Coco” Jones is a major reason for that. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but she’s an extremely talented actress and singer, with a loving heart and great personality to match.

There’s a scientific law that dictates that says structure and order cannot be created by chaos. This law has been used quite a bit as proof of there being a higher power, and to disprove the Big Bang Theory. In art, chaos can be an essential part of the beauty seen in a particular project, or an artist’s preferred style. Italian contemporary pop artist, Antonio Murgia, lives and works by this creed.

It’s nearly every young man’s dream to become a pro athlete growing up. Despite how difficult that dream is to accomplish, for many of us in the Black community, it feels like the weight of the world can be lifted from our shoulders if we work hard enough to make that dream a reality. So we strive, sacrifice, and do whatever is necessary to achieve that goal, regardless only a small percentage of us actually reach that goal.

Kendrick Lamar is undeniably one of the generation’s best artists in any music genre. He continues to raise the bar for the competition, as he meshes his different flows and cadences with elite storytelling. On Friday, May 13th he released his fifth studio album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. 

Kendrick also released a precursor to the album that sparked a major buzz, coupled with a video that was pretty deep to digest. But, we’ve come to expect that from someone who takes their craft as seriously as Kdot.
