4/20 Release

On April 20th, Rihanna released the interlude of her new album, "James Joint." It's ironic that she picked April 20th, which is widely known as the 'weed holiday.' She tweeted to her fans, "In celebration of 420, here’s an interlude from my 8th studio album that I call James Joint.”

Many comments have been made that is was an ode to ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown. That possibility may be true, but in actuality it was an ode to marijuana. 

John Legend is More Than Music

Lately, Grammy winner, John Legend has been doing much more than gracing the community with his musical abilities. Outside the music, John Legend is a Humanitarian and has been launching campaigns over the last few years.

Recently, he annouced his latest campaign, "Free America", to end mass incarceration. At my very own alma mater, John legend was a recent key speaker, in which he spoke on various topics pertaining to aiding the community, life's struggles and love.

Afterwards, he peformed three songs. The significance of his performance was that if you payed close  attention to some of the lyrics, they also

pertained to some of the messages in his speech. Before I had always thought of his music as love songs. After listening to his speech, his music talks about more than just love if you really listen. He's a man that sings what he preaches.
