Spotlight artist of the week

By
Antonio Leaks was born on May 19th, 1988 in Sacramento, California to both parents with substantial artistic backgrounds. His mother was a visionary, his father an actor. Both instilled in him at a young age, the significance of expressing himself. Influenced by artists such as Melvin Van Peebles, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, MF Doom, and Little Brother, Leaks never limited himself, but rather pushed himself to think outside the box.


Acting at a very young age, he realized his love for being on stage. Leaks found it entertaining to portray a completely different character then his own. This eventually led to his interest in becoming a film maker. His love for movies and film inspired him to produce them to convey his view of the world. He joined the DreamCatcher Films team, while attending Lincoln University (PA), when he saw that the individuals involved shared his vision.

Music was just one of his many outlets as well. Ever since listening to the track “I Wish” by Californian artist, Skee-Lo, he was inspired to write rhymes. Coming from a multicultural background, Leaks draws from his diverse experiences to discuss subjects with a style that some would consider unconventional. Since performing under the stage name “TonE”, he formed a group with his high school friend, “J. Good”, called “The Worthy Adversaries.” After networking with more artists in the Sacramento area, Leaks helped create a networking alliance called “The Usual Suspects” which attracts numerous rappers, singers, and DJs. TonE’s solo composition, to be titled “The Five Dollar Mic Sessions,” was released in the summer of 2009. With a strong faith in God, he manages to produce quality work in various fields.

Too Good at Goodbyes - Sam Smith (cover by @MattBloyd)

By
When ya new favorite voice covers one of ya favorite voices!!!! Thats exactly what happened when Matt Bloyd chose to cover Sam Smith's new song "Too Good At Goodbyes" it feels a lot warmer then the original that haunts us when Sam sings it. We love how Matt put his own  twist on it and showed off that killer range that made us a fan from the  first day we heard him. Here is what Matt had to say about choosing the cover I am a huge fan of Sam Smith's voice and his artistry. After a two year hiatus, Sam is back with "Too Good at Goodbyes" and I could not be more excited. He's truly an inspiration. When I heard this song I KNEW I had to cover it and got right on it. Hope you love my take on this JAM.

Mental Clarity reviews: Where the Wild Things Are

By
First let me start off by saying that this movie was NOT intended for kids. The director himself stated this fact when people mainly parents were complaining that it was too sad and not kid friendly. The movie was geared towards adults that grew up on the book in the 60’s. Now with that said the movie was good. It had a very sad underlining tone to it. You can tell by the way the actors behaved towards one another along with the scenery in the movie. It was a very tan-ish scene going on. There were a few times I became bored and was ready to fall sleep but I stuck with it and I’m glad I did. The monsters in the movie seemed so angry. In the movie adaption you can since a love lost between the two monsters even with the boy and his family with the shots of things his father gave him but no father. There is not much I can say because I had mixed feelings about this movie. As I’m sure a lot of people have. The best thing I can say is ignore the book when you see this movie, but do see the

Pop News: John Mayer Humiliated By Taylor Swift???

By
So word on the street is John Mayer is not happy with Taylor Swift writing a song about him. Now she doesn't say the song is about him but the title is "Dear John" lmao. Now we all know Taylor is talking about john with this line right here Dear John, I see it all, now it was wrong. Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so? But we also know she will never admit it to keep her "innocent Girl" look. John takes it as a direct shot at him even if it is cheaply written (His words not ours) It made me feel terrible, I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. That quote is  from a interview he had with Rolling Stone Magazine that will be out this month. Do you think he is just picking at Taylor or is the song really about him?? Let us know
