What I Watched: Jidenna “Love Live the Chief”
I posted a video featuring a live version of this song months ago and now here’s the official video for it!
What I Watched: Pia Mia “Touch” featuring O’Shea Jackson, Jr.
Get it, O’Shea!!!!!
What I Watched: Adele “Hello” from 25
What I Watched: Bia “Bobby Brown”
I will admit when I first saw the title of the video, I thought she had done a song paying homage to Bobby Brown or possibly had a Bobby Brown sample- well, somewhat, but not really…still hot, though. Just Hit Play.

Black Diamonds Blurb Blitz Tour Stop No. 7: Straight from the Library
Happy Tuesday! Today’s tour stop is at Straight from the Library and once I heard the site’s name, I couldn’t help, but to think of the movie, Straight Outta Compton. This lead me to think about all of the memoirs and biographies out there about some of the world’s most famous people. Do you have a favorite memoir or biography? I will go on record and say that mine is E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX. What is yours? Share in the discussion below by clicking the link:

Black Diamonds is Going on Tour!
What I Watched: Dawn “Choices (Interlude)”
This is one of my favorite cuts off of Blackheart. I didn’t even know there was a video until I started watching some old Making the Band episodes and the video popped up in the lineup.
Interview: Draya Michele Chats It Up with Big Boy
What I Watched: Elle Varner “F**k It All”
I finished watching last night’s episode of Power and this song played at the very end. I forgot about this song and didn’t even recognize it until I looked up the lyrics to get the song title. I had to share. This is a good song.
What I Watched: Kendrick Lamar “For Free?”
