New Artist Alert: Anthony Gates




I've had the privilege to hear exclusive music by Anthony Gates, an LA native, RnB artist and let me tell you I'm definitely a fan. His music embodies the sound of West Coast hip-hop with hard hitting bass-beats that make you want to roll down Crenshaw on a Sunday and show-off your vehicle. He has a diverse body of work from slow cuts to hip-hop hits but what I love most about his music is that  despite the pressure of wanting to rap over a hip-hop beat he doesn't stray away from sanging on each and every track!

Anthony's  unique syncopation in the delivery of his lyrics paired with is remarkable and sultry tone makes him the breath of fresh air that's giving life to the RnB game.  Anthony is currently working on a project titled "Sing Till I'm Famous". Check out some of Anthony's work below and like his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AnthonyGatesMusic/app_2405167945 and follow him on instragram @therealanthonygates.

How did the Cookie Crumble? My take on Empire

Image
The show Empire premiered tonight on Fox. It stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Terrence plays a music mogul Lucious working to build an Empire/Legacy for his children while being troubled by the transgressions of his past one of which, is Taraji's character, Cookie, his ex-wife being released from jail after doing 17 years on his behalf. He also struggles with the present state of his health ( btw please no ice bucket challenges for fictional characters! he has ALS), which is the driving force behind his ambition of creating a legacy for Empire. Veronika Bozeman gave us the opening vocals as an Empire Artist, and boy was it beautiful, even when she was made to sing it over! I found the show to be entertaining although I couldn't help but feel like it was a continuation of the movie Hustle Flow lol. I kid. Kind of, I think it was Terrence Howard's hair! But in all seriousness I'm elated to see so many shows starring African-American casts, especia

Single Mom Travels (it's kind of a long read, so grab a snack!)

Well Hello There Readers! I've been on a writing hiatus but I've got the sudden urge to blog. A few weeks ago I was hanging out with my son and realized that as far as I'm concerned we have a pretty unique experience in terms of the way we go throughout our daily lives. I realize there's this stigma that as a single parent life becomes so limited and in many aspects this has proven true. However, I've also discovered my own ways to live and provide my child with a happy fulfilling life. There is nothing that can truly distract my child from the absence of his father, but as his mother I've vowed to make his childhood experiences as meaningful as possible in the hopes of presenting to society a well rounded, open minded, curious, fearless, adult. With all that being said, traveling alone and/or with your child are one of those single parent stigmas I was talking about. It seems as though as a woman I should live in fear of the world and somehow nee

We Heard, We Saw, We Conquered: The September Lookback

Image
    Hey HairyKat's , (please excuse any typos.) Can you believe the year is almost done? It went by so quickly. September just seemed to breeze by just as fast and I tried to enjoy every second of it. September was quite entertaining, literally. Here's the rundown.  Purple Rain presented by Cinespia: Hollywood Forever Cemetery I started the month celebrating my good friend and Kat Kreation's( www.katkreate.com ) photographer Bianca's 30th birthday by attending a screening of Purple Rain at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery hosted by Cinespia. It was probably the coolest and creepiest event I've ever attended. There is a huge lawn dedicated to film screening filled with patron's openly enjoying picnic baskets of wine, cheese, and everything in between along with some of Hollywood's late and great spirits, like Toto the dog from the Wizard of Oz. You couldn't help but apologize to the gravesites as you passed through the cemetery. The eve
