As if you haven’t got slapped in the face with this link at least three hundred and twenty-seven thousand times before you drunkenly stumbled onto this post. But yeah, if you (for some reason) don’t know where you can listen to the surprise Beyonce & Jay Z album Everything is Love, then you can go …

SZA’S VIDEO FOR GARDEN, TUMBLR AESTHETIC, AND HOW IT’S ALL CONNECTED
After being a witness to the controversial, yet stellar video that sparked the internet on fire, Childish Gambino’s This is America, I knew I wasn’t the only one who noticed the one and only kinky hair killa, SZA, at the end of the video. My first thought was that it probably didn’t mean anything. You …
#WhatBlackPantherMeansToMe
Just like every other warm-blooded black millennial on social media, I too am in awe of Black Panther. Before I went to go see it at my local movie theater, I was a bit skeptical. The hype was getting to be overwhelming, and I’m a certified skeptic at heart. I’ve never been a superhero kind …
WAKE UP, IT’S THE FIRST OF THE MONTH: FEBRUARY
In a lot of ways, February is one of my favorite months. First off, it’s Black History Month. Black history is my favorite kind of history and I always find out something new in February about my culture. Even though I’m knee-deep in the culture 25/8, I always need a little bit extra in my …
[THE MASH-UP] WALE/SZA – THE WEEKEND REMIX [NEW MUSIC]
The sultry peanut-butter smooth beat of SZA’s side chick anthem The Weekend is so red-hot it can melt the ice of the recent snow storm. I’m not surprised that every singer/rapper/neighborhood scatter has uploaded their version of the tune on the internet. But Wale’s spoken word drenched rendition might be the best one of them all. Check …
[BLOGMAS] LET’S TALK ABOUT IT – SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT (NETFLIX)
Hello beautiful people, I hope you’re having a stellar December and an awesome holiday season. We just had our first snowfall, so it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas over here 🙂 If you’re stuck in the house, you’re probably looking for something new to binge watch. I’m always looking for something to dive …
#niadiaries vol 4. – freelancing & “december’s resolutions” (blogmas edition)
I’m not good at gaging my accomplishments. Whenever I accomplish something I usually just head to the next thing on my to-do list. I don’t really give myself a second to enjoy what I’ve done. I usually just worry about the fact that I haven’t done the next thing. It’s a vicious cycle that never …
WAKE UP, IT’S THE FIRST OF THE MONTH: DECEMBER
Yesterday, it was almost 70 degrees outside. In turn, my brain cannot fathom the fact that it is December 1st. It’s officially Christmas season and I can finally watch all my favorite disgustingly cheesy Christmas movies and consume way too much hot chocolate. You know, it’s all for the aesthetic anyway. There’s a lot of …
LIL MUSIC REVIEW: EMINEM FEAT. BEYONCE – WALK ON WATER
Am I the only person that wasn’t exactly looking forward to Eminem’s comeback? I knew that it was coming since I witnessed Eminem’s public slaughter of President Trump during the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards. I’ve never been the biggest Eminem fan, but I can truly respect the longevity of his career and the mastery …
WAKE UP, IT’S THE FIRST OF THE MONTH: NOVEMBER
Hey beautiful people. It’s time we tiptoe out of the spooky season and get deep into Fall. I hope November is a time of renewal and peace. November’s always a chill time for me, and who doesn’t love Thanksgiving? Love, Nia Simone
