#10 Where. Is. The. Album.

Image credit So it has been over four years since SZA has released her critically acclaimed album, CTRL . If you remember anything about 2017, you remember every girl and their mama was bumping CTRL . Personally, when I think of 2017, this album floods my memory with each track. CTRL is an album that has left its mark on my generation, but four years later we have been left with only one question. Where is the album? I mean, with so many leaked songs coming out and her performing on live streams, we have been teased endlessly. It has gotten to the point where she is touring while performing her old album! As much as we love CTRL, it is time for something new. We can only cry out our eyes to “ Supermodel ” or “ 20 Something ” so many times. What is delaying this album from coming out?  Although she has not released an album since 2017, she, fortunately, did not pull a Frank Ocean and disappear from the face of the earth. She has dropped a couple singles and soundtracks to various movi

#9 And Now You Know

  Have you ever taken a second to question where a majority of animal by-products come from? Have you ever questioned how those products get placed on the shelves of grocery markets? Taking a second to do a basic google search on how these products are produced would be beneficial, but since you are already here I will elaborate. The industrialization of farming has been quite possibly the worst thing that has ever come to farming. 99% of farming products like meat, dairy, produce, etc come from these kinds of farms. Why is it so bad? They take cheaper routes to make their products and use methods that are inhumane to animals and just shy of being lethal to humans. Dairy farming is one of the most guilty productions of this. They are extremely inhumane to their cows by injecting them with drugs that make them overproduce milk than what they naturally produce. These drugs then make their way into the products we consume daily. Another way they hurt humans is because of the pollutio

#8 Still Over It

  If your girlfriend has been listening to the new Summer Walker album Still Over It you better buy her some flowers. Chances are she gonna be mad at you even though your name isn’t London on Da Track. Summer Walker recently released her sequel album to Over It with Still Over It . This album is after her recent split with her producer and baby’s father, London On Da Track. This album had every girl wanting to know what London’s address is because we just want to “talk.” In Still Over It, Summer Walker rips London up for being an absent father and leaving her during her pregnancy and even calls him out by name for cheating on her. Summer really did NOT hold back at all and gave her a piece of her mind with her beautiful, soft vocals. Each song is full of lyrics and emotion showing she recognizes she deserved better and has been able to get past the heartbreak, but not without the last word. Some songs that stand out to me the most on this album are “ Unloyal ”, “ 4th Baby Mama ”

#7 Fresh

  Food has always been a staple in survival for humans thru generations and generations. As time progressed food distribution has evolved from simple farming to huge corporations mass-producing everything from produce to bottled water. The movie, Fresh, really deep dives into what is happening in these farming facilities and how things go from the soil onto grocery store shelves. Its purpose is to explore the exploitation of animals and the cheap products used to grow produce. I was already hyper-aware of the corruption happening behind closed doors, but to many, this is a very big eye-opener. This film is projected to educate those who never thought about where their dinner was coming from. Fresh does not hold back on the ugly side of this industry by providing real interviews on both sides of the farming world. It shows the thick line that separates who is farming for the greater good, versus the farmers doing it for the most profit.  Although I was very hyper-aware of this indu
