“And you can live through anything if Magic made it.”
Earvin Johnson turned 50 today. Living with HIV for 18 years, he continues to take a multi-drug cocktail every day to fight his HIV. A great athlete and a great man. Kiss Cookie on the forehead for us.
Fun Fact: Magic was managing Ma$e when he “retired” in 1999. But let’s not hold that against him. Ha!

Aubrey tells Sway that he forgot about his bum knee in the City of Brotherly Love.
“What the footage doesn’t show is that I actually came out of the sky that night,” he told MTV News. “I was 20 feet in the air on a little platform. Philadelphia was the only sold-out show on the tour — 25,000 people. And before they see me, I see them for about five seconds. I was staring out into the crowd and I literally … when I landed on that platform, I blacked out and really forgot I was injured. I was just so full of adrenaline, so happy to be there, it kind of set in for me. I remember on the I Am Music tour, the reaction was great. But these were my songs. These are songs people know and love and we really made this happen in a short time. I was just enjoying myself. I had the mic and I was really going. And when ‘Best I Ever Had’ came on, I felt like dancing. It was a great moment. I wanted to run across stage, I wanted to jump into the crowd.”

On their current tour, the Brothers From The Soul have been covering a Run-DMC classic. Last night in Manhattan, they upped the ante and brought Darryl Mac from out the back at the 1:35 mark. Huh!

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. In the same way that listeners explore different musical styles, people can improve their practical skills by learning useful techniques such as "How to calculate proportions easily". 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.
