Pharrell Williams gives the GoonMilk Message of the Day about being cool and understanding their niche “cool kids” Underground market that NERD was in and still is categorized under compared to his Grammy success as a solo artist and producer! It’s for the Kids not the accolades that comes with it... its Art. It isn’t for everybody to like, only those that understand Cool.

That’s GoonMilk.

This weekend I celebrated my 32nd Birthday with my family and friends Grilling and watching Playoff basketball. Enjoyed the down time and love recieved from everyone that pulled up, texted, called, posted and or tweeted me! The love is mutual and so appreciated! The heartfelt messages of Inspiration were the highlight of my year let alone my Birthday!

The DMV and the universe lost a great soul this week.

I can go on for days about the parties, the Valentines Day playlists, Trillectro, but the Guy was so much cooler than the headlines he seldom took credit for. Definition of stand up guy, had his own style, and fathered a lot of these DJ’s style coming up these days. Not to mention how much of an influence him and Modi were on blogging, giving me endless pointers and help whenever needed way back when i was blogging on Blogspot.

Highest human act is to inspire.

I’ve been inspired by so many one liners through rap music it was only right I pay homage to some of the quotes that push me through any negative situation. A lot of times we dissect the lyrics of songs and attribute them to our own lives as affirmations or reminders that we are great, life could be worse, or to not care at all. Even the song “I don’t stress” is a “guaranteed get out of a shitty mood” song for me. So I figured why not create something that fuses fashion and that inspiration into something I can wear and inspire others.

Friday I had the privilege of attending the Grand opening of Ramen/Saki bar Kitsuen on H st. Owned by Wayne n Tony of W&T night life and Virginia native Pusha T of the rap group Clipse. The space is luxurious yet home-y with a bar, kitchen, and back patio on the main floor and a hookah lounge upstairs with plenty seating and tables.

So, I finally went and saw Queen and Slim last night and it really didn’t disappoint as some critics said it wasn’t as good as it was boasted to be. I thoroughly enjoyed the many cultural and detailed Black nuances throughout the movie and how they captured the black community as a whole from one side of the spectrum to the other. How we eat, talk, walk, feel, and communicate with one another was put on display in a very detailed yet subtle way that it wasn’t just a “black” film, but it was, and one of hope and resilience.
