Maluma was very proud of himself and he said: “I’m standing here with a lot of respect for artists like Draco Rp and Daddy Yankee “I know I’m young. But I’ve worked hard. I’m a hardworking dreamer who wants to show the new talent that it’s possible (Si Se Puede), ‘’(Billboard, 2019). Not only that but the president of Sony/ATV Discos Music Jorge Mejia accepted Sony/ATV’s Publisher of the year award for the 16th time in the past 17 years.

It’s D.K.’s World

It’s D.K.’s World

This past weekend, NFL hopeful D.K. Metcalf took the combine and internet by storm. Standing at a staggering 6-foot-3 and 228 pounds, torched the 40-yard dash with a 4.33, busted out 27 reps of 225 on the bench press and jumped out the gym recording a 40.5 inch vertical. To put that into perspective, the average vertical for a human is 12 to 16 inches.

Declaring for the NFL Draft after his redshirt season at Ole Miss, D.K is on his way to a familiar path previously set forth by father, (former Ole Miss guard Terrance), grandfather (St. Louis Cardinals running back Terry) and uncle (Pro Bowl returner Eric). Given his physical stature, it’s not surprising that D.K. comes from a bloodline and family tree of elite athletes. In his final season with the Ole Miss Rebels, Metcalf recorded 26 catches for 569 yards and five touchdowns in seven starts. Although, he was unable to finish the season before suffering from a season-ending neck injury. He was an SEC All-Freshman pick, starting all 12 games and grabbing 39 passes for 646 yards and seven touchdowns. In 2016, during his “true” freshman season, he broke his foot in just the second game of the season. D.K. Metcalf has had his fair share of the injury bug throughout his young career, but his recent combine results show that should have no effect on what looks to be the next young star of the NFL.

[EVENTS] Are You Ready for the Brits Awards

The award ceremony will be held tonight in London. Artists such as Dua Lipa, Anne – Marie, and George Ezra lead the 3nominations for the U.K music industry’s Brit Awards. Guess what! Hugh Jackman from the Greatest Shown Man and DJ Calvin Harris are going to perform this Wednesday night in London. 

According to Billboard, the singer Dua Lipa, is nominated for four trophies, including single of the year for both “One Kiss” and “IDGAF.” Not only that but Karate black belt and singer Anne-Marie also share four nods, counting best British female solo artist, while Ezra has three. 

This is the first-time women have power over the nominations and after some disapproval the Brits have failed to deliver diversity of British music. 

Pink is receiving an award for outstanding contribution to music during the ceremony at London’s O2 Arena, hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall.

[Music] Bernie Sanders is Running for President in 2020; Remember the Time He Introduced Run The Jewels at Coachella

[Music] Bernie Sanders is Running for President in 2020; Remember the Time He Introduced Run The Jewels at Coachella

Bernie Sanders announced Tuesday morning that he is running for President in the upcoming 2020 election. Sanders was the runner up to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 who failed to win the election, losing to President Donald Trump.

Sanders was wildly popular to younger voters and he used his platform to promote issues relevant to his audience, like universal health care and lowering college tuition. His grassroots growth was lauded and his candidacy launched a surprising amount of buzz with new voters. Sanders even made headlines by appearing at Coachella to introduce Killer Mike and Run The Jewels in front of a massive crowd.

Killer Mike and Sanders created a seemingly unlikely relationship during the 2016 campaign; the two even shared the stage during a rally in Atlanta. We wish Sanders nothing but success moving forward with the upcoming election and Run The Jewels collabs.

[ENTERTAINMENT] DRAKE, KENDRICK LAMAR AND CHIDLISH GAMBINO DECLINE TO PERFORM AT GRAMMY’S

[ENTERTAINMENT] DRAKE, KENDRICK LAMAR AND CHIDLISH GAMBINO DECLINE TO PERFORM AT GRAMMY’S

We are only a few days away from the 2019 Grammy awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb 10) which most people probably aren’t going to watch. Many of the nominated artist are scheduled to perform such as Cardi B, Travis Scott, and Post Malone. 21 Savage would have performed if it wasn’t for his legal troubles.

But he’s not the only artist that’s not performing, being for different reasons Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Childish Gambino also declined to perform at the Grammys. While they are all up for nominations with Kendrick leading the way with 9, it’s become very clear that Hip-Hop don’t mess with the Grammy’s.

According to Nytimes interview with longtime producer of the grammy’s Ken Ehrlich “When they dont take home the big prize, the regard of the academy, and what the Grammys represent, continues to be less meaningful to the hip-hop community, which is sad.” But nobody really respects the Grammys anymore because they are not in tune with the culture.

For the past few years the award show has gotten many things wrong lack of diversity, barley any women winning awards, the wrong people winning awards, like when Macklemore won album of the year over Kendrick Lamar, not in a million years would that ever happen at any other award show.

Also with Ariana Grande going on a twitter rant about the show and backing out of it because of the comments made from Ken, this is going to a very talent-less show for the host Alicia Keys.
