Released at the tail-end of 2019 on Roddy’s debut album, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, “The Box” took everyone (likely including Roddy himself) by surprise “ Lisa Ford’s crime novella, South Beach…

We grew up watching Kobe dominate the NBA while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Tommy From POWER May Be Getting His Own Show. (VIDEO) of Tommy’s Journey via @lisafordblog
Of course Tommy finished the show POWER (Starz) alive because, well, that’s what the whole world wanted. Following the jaw-dropping last episode, which honed in on Tommy’s (played by Joseph Sikora) backstory, the audience was able to connect with this character by learning his true motivation…to be loved and accepted by his mother (or by anybody at this point). Tommy remained loyal to the streets throughout all of the seasons of Power, he never snitched on any of his conrads, and remained a powerful one-man…

The Last Black Man in San Francisco – (Movie Review & Trailer) Have you seen it yet?
I highly recommend that you watch The Last Black Man in San Francisco on Netflix. This independent drama focuses on the effects of gentrification in the area and I must admit, watching this movie was surreal considering that San Francisco is my 2nd home and I got to see it through the lens of a struggling black man desperately trying to reclaim a Victorian home that his grandfather built. I often travel to the rich historic city to marvel in it’s beauty with it’s unique architecture…
