Dave 'Psychodrama' Album Review

Image
'A gripping reality of the black experience told in a room of psychotherapy' is how I would define Dave's newest album 'Psychotherapy'. Dave's most recent song 'Black' received white backlash and for reasons simple, because certain epochs of white society cannot stand to hear a black man confident. In the video of his single 'Black', we actually see Raheem Sterling, Manchester City footballer who has been a severe victim to racial abuse in football, outside of football and in relation to fatherhood. In public consciousness, we have music from artists who serve to talk about themes of murder, theft, women. 'Drill' music to be precise.  To have an album that is inter woven with topical issues is a breath of fresh air and literal music to my ears. Dave covers sociopolitical topics of domestic abuse, the racist representations, stereotypes of black people in the media outlets. Colonialism even comes into the play showing that the b

' Finding Worlds Again' An Interview with Solomon Adams

Image
I had the pleasure of interviewing upcoming spoken word, actor and role model Solomon Adams. Solomon, I first met at a music video shoot for an artist "Conrad Kira". The track was called "Robot". Solomon is anything, but a robot, he is a man full of autonomy, drive, desire and dedication to his craft. I am happy I had the honour to interview a stellar young man who is navigating the world around him. ------Solomon Introduce yourself? I'm Solomon Adams. A blessed soul dancing within an exceptional body. ------What inspires you? Love, life, passion, great art and the presence of people who keep on moving forward when life throws its jabs, hooks and uppercuts and who continue to create authentically and express themselves wholeheartedly. -----What inspired your EP? I've always been surrounded by poetry. My Mum, (a published/performance poet) would bring me up on stage with her at an earlier age to play the djembe drum to accentuate certain elements of her p

'The world is in a cultural collapse' An Interview With Brandon Campbell

Image
By Shaun Flores For my interview, I wanted to do something different. It’s a political piece I would pitch to the Guardian in their race/ culture section. I spoke to a good friend of mine Brandon Campbell. He is a school teacher, passionate about education and hopes to be a history teacher someday. In my interview with him, we spoke of the world and identity politics. A current phenomenon that is proving to be one associated deeply with the liberal left. Introduce yourself, who are you? I am Brandon lee Campbell, I graduated in education, I am now a teacher at a school in Newham. I am from south-east London Stratford. I have been friends with Shaun for around 2 years now and the political conversations never stop you can rest assured of that. What do you think of left-wing politics right now? I think left-wing politics is in a diabolical state of affairs right now. I couldn’t imagine being part of the left when they are becoming more authoritarian in their speech. They want to police

Lets transition from the emerging transracial movement creeping into the society

  To my left is Martina Big,  a German model and actress known for her extremely large breast implants, born 17 May 1988.  In January 2017, Big had a medical treatment that transformed her into what is seen to be a black woman. Martina Big travelled to Kenya, where a local clergyman baptized her and, where by her own testimony was declared her to be a "true African woman." She was baptised in February  2018 renamed as Malaika Kubwa.  Her baptismal name Malaika Kubwa; in Swahili, Malaika means angel and kubwa mean big.  I begin this as Shaun Flores, I am trans logic, formerly of the social justice warrior variation. I have now become part of the trans logic community.  We report from the lense of the transracial woman Martina Adam. Why this is important is due to a new social justice movement tagging alongside a newly emerging trend of transracial. I am a young black man and I can not change my race, first of all for those who say race is a social co
