I May Destroy You- Season 1
Ozark- Season 3
Season 3 took longer than expected to arrive, but I'd been waiting and was excited when it did. It was 'ok' to me; for reasons I can't disclose to avoid giving spoilers. I haven't revisited this season like I did the others. I had many questions that I felt were loop holes, but maybe they will be answered in Season 4. Even yet and still, Ozark is the shit.
The Boys- Season 2
Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant
Ja'Net "Willona" Dubois
Pop Smoke
Kenny Rogers
Bill Withers
Chynna
Circa 1996.

Atlanta has been making waves during this pandemic literally. The city has been the talk of many conversations for being 'wide open' and hosting so many club parties with not a mask in sight. With all the negative under tones, I want to shine light on something positive there.
This Holiday season, Meals on Wheels Atlanta kept our elders in mind and is advocating that you volunteer, adopt, donate, or offer love to a senior in need. You can learn more here. In addition, they have also kicked off a #passitdown campaign of hand written recipes. Andre 3000, "Benjamin Andre to be Exact", is participating and offered up his family's 'Quick Lil' Apple Pie'

On December 12th, Barcelona became the testing site for a COVID-free music festival. Over 1,000 people were welcomed to attend, each having to take a rapid COVID-19 test prior to entry. In about 15 minutes, the results would return and those whose results were negative were granted entry. It worked. PRIMACOV was a success!
These limited-edition cookies are inspired by Lady Gaga's 6th studio album, Chromatica, which released in May earlier this year. You can snag you a pack in your local convenience store beginning January 2021.
To spice the hype behind them, OREO and Lady Gaga announced a 'Sing it With OREO' campaign where you can 'turn your voice into musical messages of kindness, with an OREOgram'. Affirmations, well wishes, encouragement... any kind thing you can think of. Once you record a message, the message is transformed into a song that can be shared with loved ones. You, also, enter for a chance to win a Lady Gaga experience, which can include merch... concert tickets.. meet and greets etc.
No word yet if there is a distinct flavor with these. The colors, however, will always be.
Skee-Wee.

Director and Screenwriter- Francis Ford Coppola decided to give us a 'new cut' for Godfather III. Essentially, this is a new edit and revamp of the film. Different beginning, middle, and end. A new experience for the final chapter of Michael Corleone.
"The Godfather Coda, The Death of Michael Corleone" released TODAY on Digital and Blu-ray.

Godfather III had many flaws (like not paying 'Tom Hagan' his desired salary to be in the film) and plot holes, but I don't hate it. I am one of the few that looked past that and still enjoyed the film for what it was. Coppola restructured both Godfather I and II into the amazing chronological 7 hour film known as Godfather Epic, which I watched every day for one whole week one time smh. If that is any indication... I am excited to see what genius he put forth towards this one.
Watch the Full Trailer below:

Ya'll ain't give me 40 acres and a mule
So I got my glock .40, now I'm cool...
The creator of Luke Cage, Cheo Hodari Coker, and Hov have teamed up with Netflix for an upcoming thriller. This film will be an adaptation of the novel, Forty Acres by. Dwayne Alexander Smith; published in 2014. According to Deadline, this Coker written adaptation is depicted as The Firm (Tom Cruise) meets Get Out (Jordan Peele). Exciting right?
Additional producers and executive producers include James Lassiter, Aaron Kaplan, Niles Kirchner, Bill Strauss, Mike Epps, Dana Honor, and Dwayne Alexander Smith himself. If you aren't familiar with the novel, the book is a story of a young black attorney who uncovers a shocking conspiracy during his journey of confronting race and power. The film is still in early development stages, therefore no cast lists have been released. It's on my radar though. I'll keep you all posted.

"Want it? You gotta go and get it..."- Dreamin/Le$
For those who follow Le$, you're very familiar with the collaborative DIOS (Did it Ourselves) brand from he and JorgeyFilms (and how quickly it sells out). Not only does the third collection drop this Friday on line, but you have a chance to physically cop as it's the DIOS store grand opening. To make it a double whammy for celebration, Le$ is dropping a new tape.
He's one of the few artists whose releases I look forward to every time. Show love. Get fresh and cop the tape. Black Friday. 4114 Fannin. Houston Tx, 77004.
Oh .. what's the store hours? Read the fine print on the door. LOL. Trust me... it's worth the zoom on the pic
While you're here.. check out this Norman Connors flip
***UPDATE: The store opening was pushed back to 11/29. By the looks of the pics and vids, it was a success! #DIOS out now!

Triple triple O.G. Spitta stopped by the booming 85 South Comedy Show this week for a chat full of gems, laughs, and rare stories. Catch a flight to how he started smoking, stayed consistent with independent hustles, how C-Murder would take him to school, the recording of 'How Fly' and more below!
New Orleans legend, Juvenile, has yet another successful venture under his belt. This time.. it's custom furniture. Juve dipped into his creative bag a little further during Covid and came out a Carpenter. Juve's interest in building things began when he was a kid as his step-father is a Carpenter. This venture started from simply looking at a picture and thinking "I can do that". Tap in to his interview with Rolling Stone. It's a pretty interesting read.
