Rae and Ghost aren’t the only ones that don’t like a shark biter.

But Yeezy doesn’t have […]

Rappers never retire—or do they? In an excerpt from VIBE‘s Juice issue, Eminem speaks on the day he gracefully bows out the game. Hopefully, it’s no time soon.

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”ralphsoup”] What does it takes to pull off a great performance? Practice, pratice, practice. Sorry, A.I. Anywho, before Wale did his 1-2 for the crowd on Monday, I caught some rehearsal of the big show. I like this footage a lot. Maybe it’s the sepia tone. Ha! “Soup” up top. “Friends N Strangers” and “MC” on the other side.

Masego continues to show his creativity and versatility with Studying Abroad: Extended Stay. The combination of live instrumentation, smooth vocals, and West Indian influences makes this project an exciting listening experience. Adding new collaborations with talented artists gives fans even more reasons to explore the album and appreciate its musical diversity. I also appreciate how music and learning can connect through creativity, exploration, and new experiences.

Understanding proportions can make everyday calculations, comparisons, and problem solving much simpler. This is a great reminder that exploring new ideas can be rewarding in music, education, and daily life.
