Levi Maestro Speaks at Schools


Levi Maestro Speaks at Schools from Scott Regan on Vimeo.

In a slightly different medium than we are accustomed to seeing Maestro, but it’s super dope to see the kid giving back to those in dyer need of direction. Since the birth of his online show Maestro Knows, now a little over a year go, he has cultivated an enormous following both foreign and domestic. Building his platform on principles of positivity and staying true to what you love, Maestro has the innate ability to act as a magnet. Everyone and everything he comes into contact with, seems to blossom. So check the footage of Levi as he in turn gives back some wisdom to a class of high school kids in Las Vegas. “I do what I love, and I don’t let people tell me I can’t do it.”

Ash Roth Speaks at Pepsi Idea Seminar

 
Asher has gradually become one of my favorite artists, not only for what he can do on the mic, but also for what he represents away from it. We get a small glimpse of who he is and what he tries to implement in his life from his speech at the Pepsi Idea Seminar. The event, which featured some of our generations foremost innovative thinkers and creatives, was put together as a tool of motivation for high schoolers and future generations to think outside the box per say and vow to make a difference. Huge props to Pepsi in their commitment to donate 20 million dollars toward the creative process and fulfillment of innovate ideas. Listen here as Ash Roth delivers some inspirational thoughts in which we should all take into consideration for our own lives. via Rap Radar

J Says (Pt. 7)

The refreshing and even cleansing aspects of the water surrounding his broken and battered existence seem to be more than a literal washing away of dirt and blood and stain. Although X had already maneuvered his most significant transition, the next step appropriated solidified its longevity. Upon resurfacing to land, his mind became affixed on that of the celestial. A time of all merited praise and adoration due to those beyond his own power. Not so much an outward overwhelming sense to come to life throughout his bones, but to whom he owed, the message was surely received. 

Being that his journey was now self appointed and not of a force fed nature, X pondered on the timing of his return to his dear loved ones. Even if remedied to perfection, other issues may still linger and need be addressed, basically for self cleansing to ensue. With thoughts swarming and the remnants from his emotional high still lingering, he decided to pursue himself deeper and continue his excursion.

This has got to be the illest backpack I have ever seen. From the colors, to the innovative material, and legitimate number of pockets. I would expect nothing less from something related to P-Rod. -JSawyer
