Here Is A Look At An Album You Are Sleeping On! Beautiful Eulogy’s "Worthy"
It’s not too often I find myself wanting to grab a cup of coffee, fit on my best pair of over-the-ear headphones, and begin meditating on a hip-hop album. Beautiful Eulogy—hailing from Portland, Oregon—is back with their third studio album titled Worthy, and the excellence and originality of their art is once again deserving of a close listen.
The hip-hop climate is faddish, and I’ve had trouble sitting with albums past their release weekends. I’ve had about a week to sit with Worthy, and I’m still walking away impressed after every listen. Braille, Odd Thomas, and Courtland Urbano mix the right sounds with the right features to make this album feel bigger than life. With the grungy kicks, straightforward lyrics, melodic choruses, and subtle inversions of various instruments, Worthy compiles a wonderful album experience.

The album cover art and the intro track match beautifully. From the style of the art, you might presume the music should start with a huge introduction of a pipe organ—and it does. Everything immediately feels right. The tones of the organ make you feel the immediate “Weight”—the opening track title—of God’s glory. Courtland Urbano opens the doors of our ears to God’s grand cathedral and invites us to look around and behold the weight of God’s glory. Read More Here

Heath McNease and Playdough dropped a free mixtape together, with each track borrowing a beat either from a Wu Tang track or a track from one of Wu's solo projects.
Heath McNease and Playdough are two of the dopest emcees around right now. They've each had several releases in the past year, each high quality releases, and they've showed no signs of slowing down. They keep it up with Wed, White & Wu.
Christon Gray Clear The Heir
Best Song On The Record:"Gray" has so much depth lyrically, it touches on recent social issues and calls the church to more action. It is an Ohio all-star show featuring Gray's brother Taelor and Tragic Hero. It isn't a song that can be listened to once. It is a song to sit with. The chorus is an exhortation to the listener, "There's a Heaven and we all wanna go/Does anybody wanna fall on the sword/Take my hand, I just want you to know/Healing begins when you call on the Lord."
Christon Gray is a rule breaker. He does not fit neatly within one genre. Rather, he blends them together, making something that can only be his own. His journey over the years has been the tale of the underdog. This is an artist that should not be counted out or brushed aside. Clear The Heir is an album that will be revisited years from and considered groundbreaking in its own right. Read More Here

THINGS we found along the way
Spike Lee has directed some of out favorite movies like Malcolm X, Do The Right Thing and many more. The filmmaker is now gearing up to direct a movie about Frederick Douglass.
The film is an adaptation from the play Frederick Douglass Now written by and starring Roger Guenveur Smith (Queen Sugar).
Cable networks and digital platforms are welcoming a diverse range of modern creatives who are now emboldened to develop their own audiences. Black female talk show hosts were once confined to slender, well-enunciated palatable women, chosen by executives who wanted to reach the broadest of audiences.
Have a great week folks.
