#NewMusic: Becca “Come Back” (Prod. Yung Dev)

Mother’s Day has just passed and I can’t help but to reflect about all the single mothers that have had to sing sad songs to get through the pain of being abandoned by unfit fathers that fled. While you’re spending time with your mother, there are some that are spending time alone (for whatever reason) thinking about the time spent.

If you missed your weekend fix of fresh produced music, here’s something that’s guaranteed to get you going! [JUMP] to [WATCH]

#NewMusic: Chester French “Black Girls”

Two of my favorite musicians, DA Wallach & Maxwell Drummey have bursted back onto the public scene together, re-introducing Chester French to the a world that missed the hell out of them. Their thoughtful, yet unapologetic lyrics are very much so apparent in their new release, “Black Girls.”

Race is a big deal in America and this racy video features a lesbian, interracial couple that has no shame in embracing each other on camera. Interestingly, Chester French makes no appearance in this video, which is fine if you like to watch two women get it on for four minutes. Hopefully, you can see the bigger picture being painted in living color, while appreciating the lyrics at the same time. In this song, lead singer, DA, exclaims that the world is turning brown and I’d have to agree. But this Friday, we’re going green!

“In promoting the sandwich Chops & Hops tweeted that “@chrisbrown, @rihanna and us teamed up for a award winning celebrity sandwich.”

‘Chris Brown won’t beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with a R and ends with A,’ the tweet said.

The ‘black and bleu’ sandwich featured Caribbean spiced marinated sliced ribeye blackened, bleu cheese, sliced tomato, silver Lamborghini onions and shredded Romaine.”

After receiving backlash from across the blogosphere, the restaurant apologized and promised to make a donation to a domestic violence prevention group. The decision reflects exactly what modern-day damage control means: the publicized payment of hush money to the offended constituency.

Who’s Winning the Twitter and Facebook Presidential Election? [INFOGRAPHIC]

According to the infographic on the side, social media could possibly predict the end result of this year’s presidential election. If there is a conversation occurring about politics, it’s probably taking place on Twitter. If there has been any controversy with a candidate, a status has been in reference to it and posted on Facebook. Although the game has changed, most candidates still can’t equip their campaign as much as President Obama when it comes to having a presence on the online platforms that most of his demographic hangs out on.

An interesting fact: If the presidency was based off of popularity online, Lady Gage would be the elect and Justin Bieber would be the country’s first 1st man-boy.
