Iruz Shows Her Heart on Her New Single 'Definition of Love'
I love a good sad yet romantic song attached to a melodic voice. R&B/Neo Soul artist Iruz gave me all of that and more with her new single Definition of Love. This track shares a sense of familiarity when you think of that person who makes you question what love truly is? Everyone has their definition of love and how they feel they should treat their person. Sometimes, you and your person may love differently; and you should never sacrifice your happiness for opposing views on love.
SoulFly Album Review
If Rod Wave doesn't do anything else, he's going to make you feel his pain. The 21-year-old Floridian rapper released his third album Soulfly, on March 26th, 2021. Rod is very consistent with his sound and has been releasing his depressive rap for a while now.
DMX - Transparent Pain
Like everyone else on the planet, hearing the news of DMX’s passing was sad, yet not totally unexpected. Being a successful entertainer, your entire life becomes social media content day in and day out. For the past week, prayers have been posted publicly with optimism for a full recovery, unfortunately it was just not to be. When Fusion and Co. reached out and asked if I planned on writing anything on the subject, I quickly responded no. Not for any other reason than thinking what could I possibly say that isn't being said as we speak. Its seemingly impossible to grow up in Hip Hop, especially during that era, and not be a fan of X.An artist that was fully transparent from day one. The uncanny ability to mix pain, pleasure, and prayer into a clear masterpiece all in a matter of three and a half minutes at a time, is nothing short of artistic genius. Diving deeper into the subject and past all the initial RIPs, lies an incredible teachable moment.

Nu$e and produced by Rugawd. The song is a track to groove too; perfect for a car ride, an addition to a playlist, or just vibe.

Mental Health Check: How are you REALLY feeling?
We're in the third month of 2021, and it's been a year since our lives have changed for the good.... bad? I'm still trying to figure it out. Covid-19 came and has put everyone in a frenzy.
Building a Watch Brand from Social media to a Major Retailer
I love being able to find unique brands in their early stages of business development. Watching a company's successful growth provides valuable info that I can share with any new entrepreneur that I speak with. I usually focus on Orlando based brands and businesses, but this is more of sharing a success story that I have watched from a far. It should be encouraging to anyone reading, that creating your own product and distributing it, is extremely possible.
In 2019, I came across a sponsored ad on Instagram for a dope looking watch. I clicked the ad that took me to the website, which was simple, clean, professional, and had maybe two or three styles to choose from and was very affordable. I couldn’t choose between two, but there was a combo deal for both. I think I spent $100 for two and still rock both to this day. A nice ad, simple purchasing options, and affordable pricing, got my business. Seems simple, however the basics often get overlooked.
