"No ❤ Without $" -Love VS Money In A Battle To The Death!!!

"She ain't got no money in the bank", "No romance w/o finance", "I don't want no scrub, a scrub is a guy that can't get NO love from me!" Yeah we've ALL heard the lyrics right? But real talk money does play a MAJOR part in a relationship, especially if you're living in a MAJOR city like New York. Correct? Well, let this be an obstacle no more! No it's NOT a "meet & greet" to meet someone well off but hopeful this forum will open your mind & her/his wallet to better days. If you're in a relationship with a starving artist, shopaholic, penny pincher, wannabe “baller,” or someone who has to put their phone in your name? Join financial advisers, tax consultants, and wealth managers to discuss how matters of the heart and the bottom line can work together.

"Young (He)Arts Run Free..."-Support What You LOVE @ Love

Miss Martinez & the J.E.M. Foundation have pulled together some of the most promising young up and coming talent I've seen in a minute on one stage! And it's all for a GREAT cause. Then to top things of the showcase will be a birthday celebration for Miss Martinez herself, as if the show was not enough to get you in through the door. I'm on the hunt for new acts to add to this year's "Rock the Block BK" so I'll be there front row center stage, ears open.

"The Good Felas" -Two Dope Fela Jams

Well whata ya know? It looks like folks around town have caught the "Kuti-es" all of a sudden huh? Not one but TWO parties celebrating the man and his music are happening in NYC. A nd if you know anything about that cat, then you can rest assure that you won't lose attend either one or BOTH (as a matter of fact). FYI there's a play off off Broadway that's going on too, just in case you still need get your Fela on.

"Love Is Like A Mix Tape" -Happy St. V-day

Seriously... Just think about that. Love, just like a mix tape, sometimes can come unraveled. Things can often move in fast-forward or reverse. And one can feel like they're being played, till they pop. Seems like every St. Valentine's Day the pressure's on to be loved or be left alone. Break it or fake it, I always say. But in all fairness, when love IS good you do silly things for your "boo" like make Slow Jam mix tapes. I know I've done it, and trust me it's okay to admit that you've done it too. So for this V-day I took it back old school and pieced together some joints that helped me "round the bases" so to speak, back in the day. Not that I ever needed help, but it never hurt to have some "mood music" playing in the background. Am I right ladies? Call me, the numbers still the same...please.
