![[Business] Dairy Queen offering free small cone with any purchase](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/dairyqueenlogo.png?resize=268%2C188&ssl=1)
In honor of today being the first day of summer, Dairy Queen is offering one free small cone with any purchase and the download of their official app.
This means that you can’t go in to a DQ and walk out only with a cone: you need to actually buy something. By my calculations, a small Arctic Rush is the cheapest item on the menu for $1.69. Get one of those and you should be in the clear for a “free” small cone.
![[News] Jay Z invested in black-owned vegan cookie company](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/jayzvegancookie.jpg?resize=768%2C384&ssl=1)
Jay Z just invested $1 million in a black-owned vegan cookie company called Partake Foods. It’s also dope because it is based in New Jersey.
Partake was founded in 2016 by the former Coca-Cola’s national sales director, Denise Woodard. This is a big upside because investors might be unsure of the market for vegan cookies but if someone with that much sales experience is sure to know a lot about potential markets.
It didn’t start out easy for Woodard; after launching the company, she had to sell cookies out of her car for 6 months while delivering daily demos for store managers and consumers.
Currently, Partake Food products are in 300 stores with Woodard commenting to Black Enterprise, ““We expect to finish this year with a new pack offering and in over 1,000 stores. We are so excited to collaborate with the MVP and Factory teams, as they both bring a wealth of knowledge in brand building and scaling consumer companies.” That’s a long intelligent sentence…another good sign.
Woodard said she would use Hova’s investment to expand the brand and her employees. Other investors include The FactoryBackstage Capital, SoFi Ventures, and Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officers of Beyond Meat.

Nipsey Hussle funeral will be held at the Staples Center in La to accommodate all of his family, friends, and fans.

![[Music] Guess Who’s Back? MARIO](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mario_Dancing_Shadows.jpg?resize=680%2C675&ssl=1)
SiriusXM NYC
On October 5th he released “Dancing Shadows” , making this his first album in 10 years.
He recently made a peek a boo cover “Girl Like You” over Meek Mills “Dangerous” beat.
This album is a combination of who he use to be and who he is now.
He recently discussed this in his radio interview on SiriusXM.
He also mentioned that a “Dancing Shadows” Tour can be in the works, so we will stay tuned for more information on that.
Mario gave the audience details on his upcoming role on the hit show “Empire”.
His role as a young kid who cares for his sick sister, and music happens to save them both.
Playing in this role he experienced the true meaning to rebuild something that was once so strong.
One of the songs from the album, “Drowning” has a twisted meaning behind it.
Mario seems to be involved intimately with another woman, while he is still thinking/in love with someone else.
The video has just over 3 Million views on YouTube.
Being one of the first singles from the album it gave us the satisfaction that we oh so needed.
This was a small peek at what’s to come. DANCING SHADOWS.
This project was something that he needed to work on after losing his mom.
Of course this was a sensitive topic to discuss, but he did mention that he let his emotions flow through his music.
He has proved that you can come back and overcome just about any and everything, to do what you love.
We don’t want to classify him as a new and improved artist, lets just say he’s back to finish what he started.
Welcome Back Mario!
Sincerely A 90’s Baby
“Drowning” is my favorite song on the album.
This was the first song that gave me goose bumps.
Mario has extended his vocal range and matured amazingly.
This album represents the work that he will continue to deliver for years to come.
