1st Annual Newark Super Fest

What's better then seeing a few of your favorite artists as well as DJ's and talented poets all in one place. Thinking. Nothing !!!. This July, precisely on the 9th, Newark will be hosting its first annual Superfest alongside with BET, Power 105.1 fm and other sponsors at the Newark Bear Stadium. Talents such as Miguel, Olivia, Joe Budden, Maino, J-Holiday, YC, Vado, Slick Rick the Ruler as well as Jersey artists such as Chad B, Arsenal the Rebel, DJ Frosty and others will be performing. Tickets for the concert are cheap, ranging from $30 for  general admission and $45 for reserved seating. Not bad at all. What makes it all worth the while is that Jersey's own Hot 97 Heavy Hitter DJ Wallah will be djing the event for that evening. I don't think it gets better than that. Tickets are available for purchase at  www.newarkbears.com/newarkfest

Frank Ocean x Chris Brown X Gangsta Cousin's

If you didn't know over the past couple of days trouble has been brewing between music group Odd Future's Frank Ocean and Tyler the Creator with Chris Brown. Like seriously. "Apparently" it all started out when Frank Ocean and Tyler the Creator were performing and made a few comments about Chris Brown and how he beats women.  Then last Friday evening Frank Ocean and Chris Brown shared a couple of words via Twitter until the Game came in to stop it. Well I came across a video of couple of guys going after Frank Ocean in LA and well the video speaks for itself. The guys in the video also claimed to be Chris Brown's cousin. I'm not sure if they really are his cousins but if they are, they need to stop. I couldn't even bring myself to watch the whole video because it just seemed pointless and plus the accents of the boys were annoying me lol o_o.

Music Thursdays X New Alicia Keys

It's been a while since we heard something new from Alicia Keys so while I was at work I stumbled across a song from Alicia Keys called Typewriter. As soon as I clicked play I fell in love with it. More so with the beat and the rhythm. The song is sultry and has a an olden day feel to it. In the beginning of the song she welcomes you to her "laboratory" and beckons you to a "window" so that you will be able to see what she sees. Apparently the song was recorded a while back around 1997 and will be featured on

 her 10th Anniversary edition of "Songs in a Minor".

Step into some Jeffrey Campbell's

These shoes scream out, Hot. Cute. Different. Fierce. This summer is all about looks, the clothes you wear and your shoes. Nothing screams "creativity" more than the shoes you wear to give personality to your outfit. Lately I've been really in tuned with some of Jeffrey Campbell's selections and they will be a new addition to my wardrobe soon. Although cute, the prices are a little steep, ranging from $100-$300 something although you can find them cheaper if you snag a great sale. Although the price range is a little hefty for a college student like me, I think they are well worth the price.

Beyonce + Best Thing I Never Had

Everyone's been at that point in their life where they thought they really wanted someone but found out it wasn't just meant to be. Or better yet, they ended up the "best thing you never had" . This song really speaks to me and I thought I would share it. So far this is my favorite of the singles she's released as of yet...

"There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
Boy I, must've been outta my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I saw the real you..."
