WILLOW SMITH released her newest video, and it's rocking YouTube and the media up. I must call it an EPIC FACTOR because of the clever "storyline" of the video. It starts off with Cicely Tyson planting elements of WILLOW into the deserted ground and watching her come to life with a rumble, something straight out of a sci-fi movie, the Mummy, one of those...
Then the scene changes to all WILLOW in her fun style, running with wolves (thank God she's okay) and dancing in the desert while her surroundings slowly turn into a cityscape; she proves in this segment that she's a "21st Century Girl."
It then ends with WILLOW passing on the "torch" to a baby. Clever thinking!! Great job for the executive producers WILL and JADA Smith!!
This 10 year old girl is gonna be knocking down the VETERANS OF MUSIC very soon!!!
I'd like to introduce Detroiters and the world to T.R.A.I.N . He is an accomplished songwriter who turns the table on the whole rap game by rapping contrary to your norm favs that are on your MP3 or iPod. It's more like rapping about a real-life experience and PROVIDENCE.
T.R.A.I.N released his OFFICIAL PROMO VIDEO above. Be blown away!! I had the pleasure of assisting him with setting up his blog. And that's not the end of it; there's more COLLABO to come!!
You know about them UNDERDOGS, like me...like T.R.A.I.N, just you wait! With enough determination, faith, and hard work, we're TOP OF THE BILLBOARD CHARTS and MAGAZINE SPREADS and INTERVIEWS!!
Check the BIO:
In today’s world of hip-hop, it is very rare to find an artist who brings passion, authenticity, and positive music to the table. DetRapper/Songwriter T.R.A.I.N (short for Teaching, Reaching, And Instructing Nations) embodies all of these characteristics effortlessly.
Coming from an area severely stricken with the effects of the recession, crippled by changes within the auto industry, and haunted by the ghosts of the Motown he refused to let these be obstacles hindering his success. T.R.A.I.N has never been one to let anything stop his progress. This was evident during his high school football days when he was initially given his name.
Attracted to music at an early age, he began honing his rap skills at 13. T.R.A.I.N describes his style as Unorthodox REALity Music. A term he originated to set himself apart from what he saw as the stereotypes of rap music. As long as he allows nothing in the way of his tracks, the sky is the limit for T.R.A.I.N !
I was amused to see this in the Standard on Friday -
Nightclub entrepreneurs Charlie Gilkes and Duncan Stirling are soon to launch Maggie’s, a new Eighties-inspired club in Chelsea, in honour of Lady Thatcher... Lucky club-goers will hear famous speeches from the Iron Lady playing in the loos. Thatcher memorabilia will vie for space on the walls, along with such paraphernalia as A Team action men and A-ha platinum discs. Timmy Mallet, John McEnroe and Bananarama will be depicted in a giant mural.
Gilkes, who is also behind the clubs Barts and Kitts, explains: “Duncan and I love the general style and music of the Eighties but have always found Eighties nights to be cheesy and naff. We wanted to create somewhere which totally encapsulates the period, from its history to its music, drinks and style, where people can relive or indeed live this amazing decade for the first time. We want to open a nightclub that transcends politics but it will be open in time for the general election.”

So Mandy is to continue with the music licencing levy which will cost voluntary groups up to £20m in extra cash.
Bascially if you have a radio in a charity shop staff room, hire out a church hall for discos etc, or maybe you run a sports club, then now you will have to pay a licence for music.
140,000 charities, 6,750 charity shops, 66,440 sports clubs, 4,000 community buildings, 5,000 rural halls and 45,000 religious buildings will be affected.
This is intolerable and will effect communities the length and breadth of the UK. The hiring of church halls gives much needed revenue to parishes, let alone what the effect will be on fund-raisers for sports clubs, charities etc.
Having effectively shut down post offices and local pubs, Labour Ministers now have our village halls, scout huts, charity shops and church halls in their sights. This is a heartless charge on community buildings and charities.
