Favorite Rap Music Video
Teleport - Logic
When I heard the long-awaited album, Ultra 85, was coming, I was full of anticipation! The songs that were released to usher in the era were great, but still had me looking for the true banger of the album. If you aren't aware, I've been a Logic fan for many years and close to his start. Therefore, getting this project and its entirely reflective perspective on his life and career was extremely gratifying. On the body of work is a few songs that encapsulate it well, but none better than this powerful, concise, and entertaining single. That's why I wanted to share this particular song with you this month!
Favorite Music Interview
Tyler, the Creator on Mavericks with Mav Carter
Tyler, the Creator, has truly grown into an artist that I can get behind. Early in his career, I've been appreciative of his production and quirky videos from time to time. Though, once he pivoted the content a bit and truly let his love of the art of music and video shine through, I saw it as the green light to finally jump on the Tyler train. This interview takes a look at his career and his view on the industry as someone who's always gone against the grain. I like quite a few of his takes and was intrigued at his look back at the trail he has blazed so far. Maybe you'll get a kick out it, too.
Favorite TV Interview
Bel-Air Roundtable
At the time of writing this, Bel-Air season 3 will be wrapping up this week. It has been a crazy, fun ride through summertime with the cast. There has been drama, laughs, and awesome cameos. The show continued to keep me entertained and happy that Peacock continues to give it a chance. I truly believe more people should do the same, since even when Will Smith looks at this new dramatized version that he produced in this reboot, he's proud of the new lessons and themes the series is able to present. I highly recommend the show and this interview about the third season, if you were unaware of this phenomenal reimagination of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
