Neopitso Ft Ab Crazy – We On

It’s the first time in a long time that I have been able to listen to a rapper and actually hear them, let alone have it make sense. Neo Pitso and Ab Crazy brought their A-game. “We On” is their new release. Neo Pitso has been dubbed Australia’s best kept secret and now he is making that international move by going global with his music. 

Neo Pitso who resides in Australia has, recently announced the release of his new single “We On”. In his single he expresses his unique rhyme flow and boisterous lyrics. His lyrics speak of patiently waiting; hinting that this man has been hungry to get to the top but his rise has been one hell of an incline. With a catchphrase “obsessed with success” he is going for gold, “I keep telling them I am coming for all this”.

Neo Pitso had performed with the biggest international names in Hip Hop such as Nas, The Game, Rick Ross and Bone Thugs & Harmony when they toured Australia. Neo Pitso embodies everything a great artist should posses; it's only a matter of time before his name is on everyone's lips.

Empire

I really hope this series goes all the way to the top and clenches a few awards as they have just been awarded a second season. There are not a lot of shows that can combine African American music history with in a script and still cast musicians that are actors, or at least from my opinion. Empire is about a family business and who will get to take over the family business when the father is no longer there.

The cast is a perfect fit. When Taraji P Henson (Cookie) was approached for the role in this series, she unintentionally stated that the script needed Terence Howard (Lucious Lyon). As it were they are working together and are a force to be reckoned with.  This family of five is facing a power shift as Lucios is dying but before he dies he wants one of his sons to take over the family business, Empire. So all three sons are being tested in varies ways. However it can’t be said that they all started on the same starting line.

The three sons have their own lives and own dynamics to deal with. The eldest Trai Byers (Andre Lyon) is not musical he opted to study and has been handling the books within the business since his university years. He is also married to a blonde white woman, Kaitlin Doubleday (Rhonda Lyon) which makes his ex con mother’s blood boil. The second son Jussie Smollett (Jamal Lyon) is gay and has been shunned by his father all his life. He has decided to lie low in amongst the family drama, until his mother returned and changed all that. The youngest son played by Bryshere Gray (Hakeem Lyon) is the spoilt brat. On his first encounter with Cookie, after she is released from prison, gets a beating of his life. This relationship is going to need some working on but blood is thicker than water so let’s wait and see.

With Lucious having a young new partner the gloves are occasionally on between Miss Cookie and this new leading lady in his life. However Cookie has a great grip on Lucious because of the fact that the company was started on the money she made from drugs. She makes sure he never forgets it.

Several familiar faces feature as cameo roles such as Malik Yoba, Tasha Smith and Naomi Campbell just to mention a few. Without giving too much away the cast has an interesting mixture of talented actors and musicians. I will be watching this series closely to see how well they do in the unpredictable market they find themselves in.

First time failure.

I was thinking as I applied concealer under my eye bags that I have finally mastered the art of applying concealer. When did I get here, I asked myself? Judging by how well the concealer looked I thought it took me a while but I am good at it now.

The reason behind the concealer is largely because I need it to hide the eye bags that have been developing for the last two years. Let’s be honest wearing glasses all the time makes you look like an intelligent geek but does nothing for ones esteem. I really am comfortable in my own skin but being behind these intense lenses makes me cringe. I then have the glasses sit in such a way that presses hard on my face so that I have indentations and marks on where the spectacles sit.

So concealer it was. I took the step the bold step a while ago but found myself not being able to apply it properly. Until I noticed that I am now doing a splendid job at it. Then I realised that when doing it the first time I was not such a pro. In fact it took me some time. Just like anything. I remember the first time I rode a bike and how it took me three days to learn.

We fail before we win. It’s just the fact of the matter. I was listening to Oprah give a talk on Philanthropy via Youtube. She spoke of how many times she had to do it before she thought she had it right and even then she didn’t really have it right but she had learnt step by step how to correct her previous mistakes. We just get better in time. We expand ourselves with every new dream and goal set. Achievement is not about the other person. An achievement is about you and did you exceed your own expectation.
