The 2010 case of beating victim, Chad Holley, has received its first verdict of four. Texas police officer, Andrew Bloomberg, was found not guilty by an all white jury for his role in the arrest and beating of Holley. Is this just another case of racially-motivated, police-sanctioned violence or did Chad Holley really deserved to be restrained and beaten?

Well, I hope this video inspires someone. Browsing through World Star Hip Hop, I saw this video and this kid, Alonzo Jones, also known as Turf, was kicked out of the house after he graduated high school when he told his mother he wanted to be a dancer. He danced on the street for two years when he was homeless and then got his big break on America’s Got Talent. Check him out!

Here’s your weekly quick look at few developing stories in the political arena:
There are many young girls all across the country that know how it feel to live without a father in their life due to incarceration. This morning I was looking through my Facebook news feed and stumbled across this video of Iviona Hatch excited about her “Pops” Lil Boosie’s pending release date.
Watching this video was literally like 
watching a Mini Lil Boosie. Be on the lookout for Iviona Hatch, she has a few songs on iTunes. She has been working hard and rocking the mic, stuntin’ like her Daddy. It felt great to see Iviona proud to know her Dad will be returning home to soon. This made me think how many young kids out there who have a parent(s) in jail or prison and how they are dealing with it. Iviona was blessed to find out that her dad is coming home because millions of children who didn’t and will not get that exciting news. JUMP to see the video
Damn, Donna Summers was cold talent-wise and physically! Her voice was crisp but she was stunning at the same time. Ms. Summers, who didn’t put up much of a fight climbing the charts in her 40-year career, battled with cancer, as a lot of people her age are. At the age of 63, she succumbed to the disease. I wish we could lock cancer up in jail and throw away the key because it’s taking more lives than gun violence.
Donna Summers will be missed by many. There’s no doubt that she probably has inspired music by some of your favorite artists/groups. Below there are five artists that have benefited from her talented life. Peep!
