: Cadenza & Nasher - Gyal Town (JEFF051) →

“Gyal Town” is a special collab for the latest Jeffree from Londoners, Cadenza, and Nasher. Cadenza has a long history with bass music, so it’s no surprise to see such a sophisticated style of blended sounds and rhythms from him. Nasher, a natural performer who placed 2nd in a UK DJ…

"Secret Life of Super Heroes" by GREG GUILLEMIN →
“THE big lie of cinema is that it leaves out all the mundane aspects of real life, which are boring, gross, or grossly boring. Characters are never shown in a prolonged battle with a booger or stuck deep inside a Wikipedia k-hole, for example.

Being White In Philly - Philadelphia Magazine →
At one point I had thoughts on the subject. The day the article was released. I still do. Saving up the remainder for a panel discussion I’ll be participating in.

This article is magnificent. A testament to modern love. Not once did I consider the author’s age. Her prose is fluid. I imagined a young fox-hunting debutante whose colonial New York ancestors were lords of the manor of Pelham; not a 70 year old woman recounting anecdotes of times past.

WatchBLACKNESS.
“I think what you’re trying to ask is why am I so insistent upon giving out to them that BLACKNESS, that BLACK power, that BLACK pushing them to identify with Black culture. I think that’s what you’re asking?
To me we are the most beautiful creatures in the whole world. BLACK people.
