I haven’t been on this blog in FOREVER but things have been shaping up REALLY well the past few years that i’ve been away from here. With that being said, i have finally achieved my dream of being a recording artist and have music released on Spotify and other platforms! The band i’m part of is called SalVen! I’m the drummer in the band! I originally wanted to sing but in the last band i was in i picked up drums out of impulse and curiosity and when i played it i LOVED it so much i was losing interest in singing (thanks covid for putting the nail in the coffin for that) and gained more confidence as a drummer! The link i posted is the band’s linktree where you can find our socials and some of the platforms our music is on! This is a dream come true to share and i’m very proud of the things we’ve done together as a band!! Check out our music and give us a follow on our socials and our streaming pages!! Thank you all and i hope everyone here has been doing well!!

Today in Hip Hop History:

Juvenile was born March 25, 1975

WILL GRAHAM GREW UP IN POOR LOUISIANA!!!! He has a thick accent, listens to country music and new Orleans jazz, speaks French creole and gives Hannibal an aneurysm when he lets his accent out more(when hes relaxed(hes only relaxed around Hannibal)or when he's surprised) from how turned on he is. He hums Reba McEntire while fishing and making coffee in the mornings. Hannibal starts to listen to dolly parton TO HEAR HIS VOICE IN HERS!

Juvenile's Tiny Desk Concert

Now that's how you conclude Black Music Month. Juve with Fresh, Jon, Trombone Shorty, the Louisiana Philharmonic. Mannn. He performed the exact setlist I was anticipating. But he left out "Nolia Clap" 😩. Smooth transition into "Hot Girl" but....😩😩😩

I'm so glad he did this concert. Juve went from tweeting "WTF is a tiny desk" 😂 and "no" back in April after a fan tweeted NPR to get him on to taking his ass up there (after we explained it to him), giving the people what they wanted. Thank you.
