Art I commissioned from @blaque-pen! This is a scene from Chapter 9 of Dog Daze. Adrien's being utilized in yet *another* ad campaign by his father. 'Archangel' this time. His well intentioned inviting of his study-buddy Sabrina along, and subsequent goofing off while Bob Roth is arguing with the labor crew, leads to unexpected consequences. Sabrina finds out it's kind of terrible being a normal person dating a celebrity... especially when you aren't even dating them!

some art I drew of my western Oc's Blaque Hyatt & Weit Kap. I was trying to emulate a frontier styled sketch for the style of these pictures :3 (i.e. a refined speed sketch made permanent with ink)

((used; speedball ink, crow quill pen & HB pencil on mixed media paper.))

shower guy is a playlist of some of the songs that duri tends to sing when he’s in the shower. oddly enough, he always finds himself singing songs that stem from the genre of r&b and hip-hop from the 90s and early 2000s from the western market, something that he really enjoys and have showcased in the past. when duri was younger and had managed to discover the said genres, his life was changed in a sense, as silly as that may sound. the genre, as well as the artists, are one of the reasons as to why duri had changed his dream to being an idol, rather than a traditional vocalist. apart from idol music and ballads, he tends to lean towards r&b and hip-hop as genres that he listens to, especially since he’s been a fan since he was much younger and continues to be a fan to this day. plus, there’s really just something about going around, singing these songs, especially for his mini concerts in the shower.

What It’s Like To Write Through Depression

It took an entire war & twenty years of me writing and stopping and writing again to realize that, even if I truly sucked at it, writing was a technical train wreck of a hobby that I enjoyed perfecting. | What It’s Like To Write Through Depression #blog

Photo by Blaque X on Pexels.com I let the black ink from a cheap ballpoint pen scratch the date on the off-white pages of my brand-new diary. I had picked out the gaudy bright blue fuzzy thing myself at an insanely crowded Claire’s in the mall of my small country town. I wrote the rest of the diary entry in cursive and dotted the “i’s” with unnecessary and time-consuming hearts. It was October…

she looks familiar — wait is that amari knight? i remember when she was in the girl group harmoniii, but that was years ago. now i heard the thirty one year old now works as a producer and songwriter under the pen-name mystik.  people in the industry describe her as hardworking and empathetic, but also as passive and melodramatic. some say her favorite things are early mornings, fresh flowers, farmer’s markets, karaoke nights, shopping trips, cooking with her daughter, and concerts.  possible connections under cut but open for pr much anything.

best friend / twin flame ( neutral ) - who she calls her platonic soul mate-her best friend and has been for a number of years. she truthfully can’t live without them and their honesty, and how they manage to balance each other out. whether times are good or bad, they’re always there for each other and when they meet up, they’re usually getting into trouble like teenagers again. they honestly can’t take shit seriously most of the time, woops. 

new-ish flame ( male ) - she’s been on and off with gio for years, and in the times where they’re been off, this is the person she’s turned to. she doesn’t know if she’s just using him for her own emotional needs, or if she’s ready to turn a new corner-but he gives her a feeling she hasn’t felt in a long time, and with how things are going now.....she’s not sure what to do.

clients  ( neutral ) - most of her clients tend to be in a smaller circle, usually r&b or upcoming artists in the industry. a lot of them tend to come to her or reach out by word of mouth, and she’s remained pretty lowkey for the past few years. usually reached in her home studio or via email.

former girl group members ( 2 females 28-33 y/o ) - in her early twenties, she became a part of a notable girl group ( insp: blaque, good girl, june’s diary ) that had their moment with fame. a few years and two albums in, they took a ‘hiatus’. the girls haven’t really kept up with each other since then and have all moved on with their lives, and there’s been rumors of why they broke up. ( left pretty open so theres room for dramaaaa ) 

in a 2013 interview with the breakfast club, kelly rowland found herself having to defend the worldwide success she had with a pair of dance/pop songs, “when love takes over” and “commander,” after dj envy stated be thought that kelly was “musically confused.” yes, dj envy is an idiot but he is not alone in the belief that black woman, particularly darker skinned black woman, who record pop music are somehow “odd” or an anomaly. hell, people still say and think this shit about dawn richard, santigold and kelis.

last week, current pop-fave, normani released what is already proving to be her biggest solo hit, "motivation." now after receiving much deserved praise for the song and it's accompanying music video, there is a weird* conversation on social media about her being too “pop." since the resurgence of pop music in the past 20 years, black women who release pop music still face criticism. here are 10 black women who recorded solid pop songs in the last two decades that could have been major pop stars if the scope of the genre wasn't so narrow.

INOJ | “TIME AFTER TIME” | 1998

INOJ scored two top 30 pop hits in 1998, “love you down” #25 and “time after time” #6, both selling over 500,000 copies each. after her 3rd single failed at radio & with her brand of breakbeat r&b unclassifiable, her album was shelved and she was dropped from so so def in 1999.

RES | “THEY-SAY VISION” | 2001

philly born & raised, res released her debut album in 2001. while her debut single "golden boy" received moderate air-play on both mtv and vh1 (when they played music videos), the single got absolutely no love from radio. it was “they-say vision” that helped the album break into the hot 200 chart. res was (and still is) dope af. the world wasn’t ready. and sadly, we know why.

BLAQUE | “AS IF” | 2000

in 1999, blaque were one of the few black pop acts featured on MTV’s TRL. after breaking into the 10 on the hot 100 twice with “808” & “bring it all to me,” their subsequent singles didn’t even break the top 40. some said they were too “pop” for r&b radio and too “urban” for pop.

SAMANTHA MUMBA | “GOTTA TELL YOU” | 2000

samantha mumba’s “gotta tell you,” released in 2000, is without a doubt one the greatest pop songs of the past 20 years. it peaked at #4 on the hot 100 and helped her debut album sell over 5 million copies worldwide. her follow-up “baby, come on over” stalled at #49 and that was kinda it in the US sans a co-starring role in the 2001 movie “the time machine.”

KINA | “GIRL FROM THE GUTTER” | 2000

kina got her break when she joined r&b group brownstone in 1997 after original member monica doby left. 3 years later, kina released her debut album featuring “girl from the gutter.” the song received decent pop radio spins but the label struggled with marketing her.

PRISCILLA RENEA | “DOLLHOUSE” | 2009

on august 18th, 2009, priscilla renea released her debut single "dollhouse." the synth-pop/neo-electro song was trend with the sound that was emerging at pop radio, however, the then 17 year-old's image was not something america was ready for. after "dollhouse" and her debut album failed to catch fire, she was dropped from her label. she is now a celebrated pop-song writer. 

TIFFANY EVANS | “PROMISE RING” | 2008

tiffany evans signed to columbia records in 2003 after her win on the tv talent show, "star search." after a few singles that failed to capture her essence, she found her footing on the ciara penned "promise ring." produced by mr. collipark, the song was a gem of a jubilant pop song. a few singles followed but tiffany sadly never found an audience. 

FEFE DOBSON | “GHOST” | 2010

canada’s own fefe dobson made a splash on MTV's TRL in 2003 with her singles "take me away" and "everything." however, that didn't translate into sales and radio play. in 2010, returned with a more synth-pop sound with the criminally underrated "ghost" and "stuttering." sadly, both MTV and radio ignored these gems. 

YASMEEN | “BLUE JEANS” | 2002

signed to magic johnson’s label, yasmeen was set to be its breakout star. her debut singles “blue jeans” peaked at #97 on the hot 100 and #53 on R&B Singles chart in 2002. the label folded soon and her debut album was shelved. she now stars on the broadway musical about carol king’s life. 

NICOLE WRAY | “IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND” | 2004

released in 2004, “if i was your girlfriend,” was set to be nicole wray’s second chance at crossover success. her 1998 debut single, the gold selling “make it hot,” reached the top five on the hot 100. unfortunately, the follow-up singles were not as success. after her sophomore album was shelved, she jumped from elektra records to roc-a-fella records. “girlfriend” garnered buzz on both the club and mix show level but by the time the video was released, the song lost it’s steam. her roc-a-fella album was shelved. she now records independently. 

YOUTUBE PLAYLIST

{Rp between Safrona and @aranyaphoenix that eventually carried into game. Thank you for helping me get more acclimated to rping in game again! Under a cut for length. With mention of @mrblaque!}

A short, penned letter in return was sent to the Arcanist detailed a time to meet in Sunspire Port, always injecting some needed organization within the bit of chaos of her days. The Courier was also a punctual creature, yet she arrived without her typical red cloak - today was not exactly a day for the typical business it would signal. Safrona was dressed only in the Ebonsilk gown that the lady Arcanist had given her on the first day of their meeting a summer ago, and today she was approaching few else. The expected company of the Ethereal also waited, the setting sun edging the starry light of his form with its color. Her gaze was cast out to the sea, idling on the scene that gave the Port its aspect of beauty.

Aranya could only smile, seeing the familiar gown she had given to the lovely Courier, and how the smoldering design matched the flame-washed appearance of Saraj's wrappings. It was like they had been donned in fire, just for the occasion of meeting with her. "It is good to see you both," greeted the arcanist. "Please, tell me what matters have been at hand."

A cant of the head was given by the lady importer,  while the Ethereal flourished into the usual gentlemanly bow,  show off that he was. "Too many matters at hand,  but I'm glad for the moment to tear away from them to meet with you. " Safrona ambled along slowly down the pier,  inviting Aranya to stroll with her.  She seemed to want the conversation to be more private,  away from passing ears.  "But one of those matters I've felt... drawn to speak with you on." A small smile curved her lips as her absinthe eyes glanced the Arcanist's way.  "If Blaque trusts you,  I figure that is a good sign I can too."

"Likewise," replied Aranya with sincere warmth. "And your aid arranging with Saraj for the temporary dome for Sunspire was most helpful. I would be only to happy to return such a favor."

There was a silence from the Courier, unsure of how to begin to ask her questions, to ask the favors she would ask. Her natural hesitance did not go unnoticed, and the sincerity of the Arcanist came again. “How can I help, Safrona?”

She was unable to meet the sorceress’ eyes in that moment. “I hoped for a... favor. That you might keep something hidden for me. Or...safe, is more the word. Keeping it in Dalaran any longer might put me at risk of certain implications I am trying to avoid.”

Aranya’s whiskery black eyebrows furrow. “I can certainly do my best. What manner of “something” is it that could implicate you, may I ask?”

Safrona let out a soft exhale in attempt to release her nervousness, her absinthe gaze holding on Aranya a moment as she explained in a careful murmur. “It’s of a demonic nature. Sunspire Port was what I thought of as far as...security. With you and Blaque...”

Stepping forward and nodding, Aranya was quiet, all ears to hear whatever more needed to be said. But staring on the Arcanist drew in the Courier’s gaze, attaching to something beneath the flesh, idling sight penetrating. “There is...more I feel. A draw to you specifically. I am unsure how well you are connected to the Purveyor but...there is a familiarity that surpasses even what I feel in him in you...”

Ver’sarn blinked, silent and straight faced, as the Courier continued with her careful insight. “...you have touched something....tainted, haven’t you? I feel it, like a dark stirring..”

It was Aranya’s turn for her eyes to be chased away as she admitted: “I have touched--and tasted--many a tainted thing these past several years...it’s not easily understood by some. “What stirs...funny you should say that.” Safrona was met by a wry smile.

“This seems...or feels more recent.” The warlock continued a little more confidently at the admittance. “Either a newly touched demonic source, or something...resurfacing?” The curious edge was on her voice, still surprised in what she herself was saying. The lady Arcanist hardly seemed to be one embroiled in corruption. But she heard it, the dark static of something kept quiet for too long. “There are voices that I am tuned to in the Dark, and it knows your name.”

A nod from the Arcanist further solidified her insights. “There is one. One I tasted, one I crippled in ways that can never be undone. His face found me in my dreams, recently, making threats...or portents. I struggle to discern which.”

“...manipulative, yes? Even in death their hold is reaching. It is their nature to corrupt.” The Courier remarked with some bitterness. “I struggle in my own way as well, but it is more the nature of what I do. As the Legion has fell on Azeroth again, the demons have become more prey than I mean them to be. But every soul I tap into, that I rip from them is...not always the victory that some would celebrate.” She gave her attention back to Aranya as she looked out to sea, the storm that seemed to ever be building in the distance.

“Mmm, they were common prey for me as well, once upon a time. I hunted them in the days we tapped mana, for sustenance. But what no one could have known was what part of my true nature that fostered in me.”

A quiet attentiveness continued in the Courier, the verdant gaze of the Arcanist returning to her with intensity. “I liked it, Safrona. I found a visceral pleasure in the hunt, the triumph, the taste of tapping the essence of my prey before they fade away. That’s never gone away. It’s an addiction deeper than blood, my predator nature. But it’s been years since I gained full self-control and few know or really understand it...”

The importer’s brow furrowed both with some confusion. “...how did you stay...yourself, in it all? Did they’re hatred not haunt you? Their destruction? Until you could not remember who you are?”

Aranya shook her head, “I felt nothing for them after I drained them. Like an animal, or a beast. And that’s what I struggled with, being my own master of myself, trying to not let the urges of my blood be what controlled me. And yet, that urge for the hunt stirs more strongly than ever again....He saw it in me as he faded beneath my hand. He knows.”

A momentary silence again, as each woman considered the words already passed, the words to next give. Aranya broke it with her wry smile. “The Tomb changed the whole game, didn’t it? A font of power for them all, even the weakest ones.”

There was a gradual nod from the Courier as she agreed. “It changes much. And in the years I have survived, I’ve fought a long habit of needing to...change as well. Or go back to the beginning of what I know, I suppose you can say.”

A nod now from the Arcanist, kindly in tone. “Perhaps we can help each other...”

“I am hoping so...” Safrona began on an anxious breath as she rolled a finger up across her temple. More cracks in the Courier’s composure tonight than she would be privy to before the typical acquaintance. “But you need to know more of me in order for that to happen.”

A directing nod to the Ethereal, and Saraj breached reality to access Void Storage, pulling an articulated chest of dark orgin from its hollow expanse. As it hit the wooden dock with a heaviness, the disturbed reality healed.

“My initial forray into the Dark Arts was paved on a road of ignorance, Miss Aranya. A decade ago I was...different. Naive. Too trusting. Desperate. Vengeful. And I trusted my fate to the wrong mentoring hands. A decade ago, I earned boons of power by offering up the innocent to the Dark. The purer the soul, the better the sacrifice, the better the boon of power by which to earn. And with our own measured currency invested in the soul, it was not long before I began offering up pieces of my own to better cement my path to power.”

Aranya nodded gravely, but it was not with a judging eye, coercing instead for the Courier to continue.

“In the days of my Gathering, my coven, this was...simply the expectant. We did not question who we served, the names we gave ourselves to. In those days, the name Tichondrius was one meant for all else to fear and us to divulge long-dead secrets from.” Safrona’s eyes settled on the chest lain before them. “By the time I could gather my will to break from the ‘pack’, the gravity of what what was done was...there. My soul tethered to names sworn in the Great Dark, to demonic overlords. I have managed to outrun my fate for years in one way or another, but the Path ends the same either way I walk it.”

“Dark bargains were made then, I take it?”

A stiff nod now from the Courier. “I had long settled with my fate. That I belong to the Dark, when I take my last breath and cannot steal another more.”

Aranya almost seemed bemused now, trying to lighten the moment. “Doesn’t sound like a very pleasant afterlife, eternally in thrall.”

Safrona’s smile tightened. “In thrall? More perhaps hollowed out by others to serve as a vessel. There are many ways that the entities of the Dark can stake a claim on a soul, and none are too pleasant.”

The words stole the mirth from the Arcanist. “And what of your soul...?”

Safrona lighted a finger at her own breast, simply feeling the heart that beat beneath it, the thrum of the soul it echoed through. For a moment, her eyes misted over with the knowing she could lose all of what she had tried to make her own, even if she lost all right to it long ago. “What is left of who I am is...chained to the Dark, food for the Dreadlord I swore it too. Even in death he continues to mock me, eternally bound to the Dark as I am, knowing I belong. I have no future. No afterlife. And I had thought I had long settled with the price I am to pay...”

Her voice took a soft, yearning turn, staring out to the ocean where so much began and ended. “And yet...in the three years I have began to learn to live again? I...have come to want more. To be more, to live...more. I may have become greedy, but I want to claim a better death when the day comes, at the very least. Is this too much to want, my friend?”

There was no answer, but the gentle wrap of arms around her. At first there was hesitation within the embrace. Even within Aranya’s inner struggles, she was not a demon, and the touch lighted on a submerged yearning for something to break up the monotony of Fel-taint the Warlock had fed on alone. But with an instilled control, and the heavy reliance of warding runes inscribed to her skin, she inhaled only the comfort that was offered from a friend. 

“I think I know how this can be done,” Aranya murmured as she released the importer. “And perhaps it will bring some light for me as well.”

“...yes...” Lacy fingers gestured to the chest. “This is why I bring the chest to Sunspire Port. To you. To Blaque. Your Order. I think you can help me.”

“What is in the chest?”

“What is left of the Lord of the Nathrezim. What I could manage. His dormant eye.”

The wheels visibly turned in the Arcanist’s head as she gazed to the ‘prize’, even as Safrona further explained. “I need to severe my connection to him. To the Legion. I want to.”

The thoughtful gaze lightened with a spark in her eyes, Aranya’s lips slowly pulled to a smile. “If Blaque will allow it...I believe I know just such a condition that brings this about.”

The Courier injected her intensity to the matter. “Aranya...My freedom’s cost is death, either way. And I understand it can be my own, if it must be.”

The grave silence returned as the sorceress nodded, and Safrona dared to perk a smile. “Luckily we have soulstones, yes?”

“Or something very near to it.” The Arcanist paused to collect her wheel of thoughts, then elaborated again. “Tezzakel. That was the name of the first demon I crippled beyond repair. Because I drained him of his power and killed him in the wastes of Outland, a world saturated by the Nether. Talk to Blaque, there is a way you can face your death, and if it is done in the heart of the Netherstorm, you may yet have your freedom, one way or another.”

Safrona muttered the name beneath her breath to commit it to memory, as such names held power. But as Aranya mentioned Netherstorm, there was a glint of recognition in her eyes as they blinked back up to the Arcanist.

“...fitting, I think. I died there once. Fell from the clutches of the Nether when I tried to denounce what bound me, deny the sacrifice of my love.” She was momentarily lost in resurfacing memory, of which Aranya brought her back from with the encouraging comfort of a touch to the arm. “Thank you for your insights. I will...confer with Blaque. But enough of the glum talk. I think I promised a certain sorceress wine.”

Wu-Tang raised me, Death Cab changed me You should go and ask Rihanna if the pen game's crazy My artistry is everything, that's my baby But when it comes to publishing, it's fuck you, pay me Don't be mad cause that records that you cut sound lazy And everything I'm cooking, sounding nuts like rabies (uh) I hate rappers, please don't call me Give me urinal suggestions like please don't stall me Don't play for me, I'll be yawning How I'm doing pop melodies and you sound corny Now everybody trying to hang around like awnings Me and my people linking in the park like crawling Things seem Rocky, Drago, Ivan No cash, broke bad, so damn Heisen- Berg, check the chemistry, I found this hybrid It's Dilla in the pocket but it's so Paul Simon It took a little while for your mind to find it But once you see the genius it's intimidating, isn't it? [Pre-Chorus - Jon Bellion:] Uh, isn't it? Uh, isn't it? Uh, isn't it? Uh, isn't it? Took a little while for your mind to find it But once you saw the genius, it's intimidating, isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? [Chorus - Jon Bellion:] They told me that my attention span aligns Somewhat with the child or a fly, yeah They didn't understand that I saw signs Hearing things but now they realize That the woman that I prayed for became my wife And dreams that I wrote down, they came to life I figured out there's money in my mind I'm glad I lived my life preoccupied [Post-Chorus - Jon Bellion:] You need to get that bag out my face God made me a full-blown genius What the fuck I need coke for? [Verse 2 - Blaque Keyz:] Outkast raised me, Lupe changed me Now I do things with words to make you lames praise me Whether Liu Kang or Luke James or Usain maybe Feeling flyer than a jet son, I'm oh so Spacely Now everybody clueless, how the flow so crazy Got me dashing with an actress, lookin' oh so Stacey I hate rappers and I really mean it Trying to ball with the kid will get you sunned like Phoenix Rather ball you up, feather and tarred Until you're harder than sparring with Mayweather with leather Spaldings This is my calling, so I answer it with bars, but not for services For hurting any person verses me, I've been rhyming since nurseries Third degree burns, emerge from the furnace, get close to me While I'm roasting one of these pigs, my flow is rotisserie It's a pity that all these hoes slipping out of their hosiery Get a hold of me, I slip through their fingers like Rosaries Been waiting for you to find it, so I leave it where it's supposed to be Cause once you see the genius, it's intimidating isn't it? [Pre-Chorus - Blaque Keyz:] Isn't it? Isn't it? Took a little while for your mind to find it But once you see the genius, it's intimidating, isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? [Chorus] [Post-Chorus]

Born Bianca Johnson in the fall of 1989, Blaque Diamond has always loved the written word. Instead of playing outside with the other children, she could always be found with her head buried in a book. She enjoyed the many adventures the characters in her books went on, and she was always there along for the ride. Her love for reading the written word soon turned into a desire to create her own stories. Due to the urging of her fifth-grade teacher, Blaque Diamond picked up her pen and began to write her own adventurous tales. She did not have an easy-going childhood, so writing became the therapy Blaque Diamond needed to get her through the tough times.

Through her own words, she could pour her heart into crafty stories that didn’t mimic the harsh realities she had to face. Soon writing blossomed from just a favorite pastime and hobby to a dream that she was determined to make come true. In 2017, Blaque Diamond self-published her first novel titled “His or Her Betrayal?” followed by several other publications. When she’s not writing, she enjoys spending time with loved ones, mixing up her next batch of homemade body butter, traveling, shopping, listening to good music, and reading.

Kidd Adamz Releases EP "Summer Camp Steelo"

"You gotta be lit all year like it's the Summer, that's my Steelo" - Kidd Adamz

The EP is bright and festive, including egos and attitudes. The EP takes you on a trip of the hard and great times of the summer, a season that attracts everyone with high energy. Kidd snagged a few features for the EP including Billy Blue, Steph Lecor and Nenah Blaque (from the emerging group, The Stepsisters).

Kidd Adamz has been penned the "Joey Badass" of Miami. With Kodak Black and Zoey Dollaz on the rise in Miami, he's capturing a different audience with his unique sound. Adamz hails from the infamous Miami Gardens, where he grew up listening to Trick Daddy, JT Money, Rick Ross, Billy Blue and Slim Deisel. Around the age of 12, Adamz seriously started writing and producing, focused on improving his music skills. At 22, he's had 10 years to perfect his craft and is ready to share it with the world. Right now, he's influenced by Tory Lanez, Gucci Mane, Pharell, Kanye West, Diplo, Calvin Harris, Timbaland, Major Lazor amongst many others. "They collectively inspire me as a person with their legendary work ethics and the track sheet they've laid for themselves in the music business. It all intertwines with my passion for music and how prepared I feel."  - Kidd Adamz Now, managed by Big Chuck from Poe Boy Records, Kidd Adamz has spent countless nights in the studio prepping his EP, Summer Camp Steelo. "I called it this because everyone's usually very "high on energy" during the summer time." - Kidd Adamz From Miami Gardens to freestyling on Sway in the Morning, music has become his undying drive. The experiences and people he meets in life help push his drive to a whole new level. He's created his own space in Hip-Hop meaning, there are no lanes for him. There's no reason why a Hip Hop artist cannot express themselves through sounds similar to R&B, Pop, Soul, Funk or Punk Rock. For Adamz, it's a vast open space. http://ift.tt/2gifWQ8 via IFTTT
