Come February 20th, the women will be taking over the court in a new season of Basketball Wives: Miami. Of course, I plan on live tweeting during every episode (unless I’m writing) as the drama unfolds. There are also two new ladies joining the cast: Kenya Bell and Kesha Nichols.

“Walk Away” by Olivia *Official Video*

I have to say that I rocked with Olivia since day one. I remember when Bizounce first came on the radio (107.3 JAMZ) in Greenville and my sister told me, “there’s this girl on the radio singing n***a, f***k you.” LOL! When I heard the song for myself, I was like, this is a good song, a little edgy, but good. Then, “Are U Capable?” came out, which I liked as well. I ended up buying Olivia’s first CD that same year, but never heard anything else from her after those 2 singles.

Then, she popped up in 50 Cent’s “Candyshop,” video. I was like, “yes! She’s back!” However, we all know how that ended. Before I knew it, she was gone from G-Unit without 1 album released. *sad face*

Still,  she emerged once again on VH1 in Love & Hip-Hop (LAHH) with a new single, “December,” (one of my favorite songs of all time- real talk). Now, here’s the follow-up, “Walk Away,” which she actally performed in Miami on an episode of LAHH. Check it out:

Haven’t Loved Right by Kandi

I can’t quite form my words when it comes to how I feel about this song. I’ll just say this, it contains some of the most powerful lyrics and emotions. I love it!

Let’s Celebrate His Dream

In celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, here are your ten facts regarding this inspirational leader!

2. King’s last speech before his assassination was entitled, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” and begin with “Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

The Vogue Archive: “Clown”

So I was listening to some of Frank Ocean’s music on YouTube and I thought about how it felt to write a brutally honest song. I haven’t done it in a while, but I remembered a song I wrote in college, which I felt fit into the category of being brutally honest. I’m not speaking in terms of bashing someone, but in terms of  putting your honest feelings out there without embellishment. Here’s mine, its called “Clown.”

You see the pain never leaves

It just quietly hides

And no one understands

Why you’re afraid to go outside

When you enter into a world

And find a love that’s all new

And it becomes your world

The only thing that loves you

 

But then its taken away

All of a suddenly

No proper explanation

You were left alone to breathe

And you got an attitude

You’re so confused

Everything’s fell down

But you paint on a smile and become a clown

 

You see the rain is there

It’s coming out the cloud

You feel it everywhere

But you really don’t know how

And every inch of your body

Flinches in pain

And your eyes won’t stop crying

You just hear songs that say…

 

He was taken away

All of a suddenly

No proper explanation

I was left alone to breathe

And I got an attitude

I’m so confused

Everything’s fell down

So I paint on a smile and become a clown
