What a beautiful reaction. There’s nothing quite like the joys of motherhood, at least so I have been told. Earlier this year, singer Simi was blessed with the opportunity to partake in that joy, and even before the actual baby girl, Adejare came out of her, she already felt the joy from within.

Coco Pang PangPublished 4 years ago in BeatHesitation? Frustration? Bedroom production!
Prologue YouTube can be anything. It can be your go-to search engine, radio, or the source of income if you are a content creator. Living in the era of YouTube and social media, I've always been a passive user. Whenever I tried to share my contents, whatever it may be, there has always been hesitation and frustration. What an introverted social media anxiety! YouTube nowadays is like a global talent show, and its curtain is wide-open 24/7. Recently, I had a priceless experience to walk up to the stage from the auditorium, ironically, thanks to YouTube. Here's my story.
Hajeong SongPublished 4 years ago in BeatBow Down, Dani Felt's Queen Empowers the Way for any King
A woman that worships the ground that a man walks on doesn't sound so bad as things go. "I am your Queen," begins Dani Felt's new single and female subservience could be her call. But the musical interlude definitely gives pause and time enough for Felt's yearning hum to signal a lyrical change of direction. One cue, a more autonomous footing amounts to the type of devotion that a king should seek, according to the estimation of Queen.
Rich MonettiPublished 4 years ago in BeatFocus Your Mind, Body and Soul
I used to get laughed at for my music tastes because they were a lot like my grandfather’s. The great thing about it though was that every time I listened to one of my grandfather’s favourite songs, I would remember him. He died when I was about nine years’ old and I miss him every single day even as I near twenty-five. Whilst I was studying for my MA degree a few years back, I would listen to various songs that I felt could focus my mind and help me remember my grandparents - all of which are gone. The rockabilly age is possibly my favourite age of all time and with its repetitive and catchy beats, it can help you remember pretty much anything. Old jazz music and dark soul songs, American Folk Revival and Motown are just some of the genres of music that are on my playlist that I would use for studying. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for even considering my playlist because I have been bullied so badly for my taste in music. It was never the next new Katy Perry song, even though I respect those who do like that music. Music is really up to you, but this one is up to me and so here we go. Here are five songs on my playlist to give you an overview of how I get focused. Hopefully, it helps you a bit too.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in BeatMy Go-To Playlist of Songs
Since I don't really have specific songs that I listen to while doing any form of sit-down work such as doing assignments for school or studying, I decided to do a playlist of tunes that I listo specifically for doing my household chores. Since the summer of 2018, I have been residing in an independent living facility for people with multiple abilities, with the majority of the tenants having some form of mental health issue and/or dual diagnosis. Every day, I always make sure that my apartment is immaculate, otherwise I won't function properly. If my place is not clean enough, I will either be stressed out or won't leave the house until it is clean enough. I usually like to do them during the day when I have enough energy, so I can concentrate better. Every night, I usually do not perform any heavy household chores unless it is necessary. Without music, I will not be able to complete my chores as music helps gives my energy a good kick. I will also get discouraged, easily fatigued and distracted when I don't have upbeat music in the background. I often despise doing household chores, so a playlist of upbeat music or listening to a particular song on Apple Music or YouTube motivates me to complete my chores. On certain days, I would even dance to some of the songs as I am completing my household chores as an excuse to burn extra calories and enjoy doing my chores a bit more. Some days I get moody when I have to do a load of household chores, so I like to cheer myself up by dancing or finding a new playlist of all kinds of songs that I think I would enjoy.
Talia DevoraPublished 4 years ago in BeatThe Lifeline of My Music
At 16 years old, I decided to become a fashion designer. Soon after, I booked my first fashion show that triggered my journey to learn how to brave it out through the night. When I had an upcoming event, it had become a habit to work on an average of 3 hours a night up until the night before. I could’ve been working on a custom order, or my new collection for a show; I have never been a fan of coffee, so my go to’s were snacks and the music that I had to blast through my earphones, otherwise risking falling asleep at my work station.
Najah MuhammadPublished 4 years ago in BeatJAJ—Chicago’s Next Big Rap Star?
JAJ is an American music artist and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. What makes you different? As an artist, my unique way of putting words together separates me from other rappers in Chicago. No matter what track you listen to by me, it’s going to make sense. My music appeals to young & old listeners because my flow is versatile, and my songs have substance. Growing up being around older people contributes to the old soul I have at this young age. Going thru tough trials and tribulations through my adolescence forced me to grow up faster than most of my peers. Especially being from Chicago, the average kid faces hardships and traumatizing events most youths don’t experience. I find it difficult to go in the booth and rap about random topics that never occurred in my life before, everything with me is authentic. I use rap to express myself and speak about the things I’m going through and what I’ve been through, in my own way. I don’t focus on being a better rapper than others; No one can tell my story better than me because I’m the one walking in these shoes every day. If you a real one, you’ll feel me.

This year has been a weird one, to say the least. The world has been flipped upside down and we’re all getting used to this new way of life. Wearing masks, social distancing, and the constant use of hand sanitizer! But, this new way of life has also has a plus side: WFH! Working from home has become the new normal, and for most of us that’s pretty great.
