African pop star Skiibii has just shared the official video for his trending single, Trenches. The song was published in mid March and began gaining traction almost immediately after it was released.
No doubt in an effort to capitalize on the success of the audio, Skiibii and his team at More Grace Music are now encouraging his fans and supporters to check out the visuals, which are heart-warming to say the least.
Despite all the hoopla surrounding the Oscars on the weekend, there was a very good moment for black music that persons within the culture should not miss and/or forget. That’s the moment when Questlove‘s Summer of Soul won in the Documentary Feature category.
Questlove directed the 2021 Summer of Soul documentary, which was about the legendary 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival that celebrated African-American music and culture and promoted black pride and unity. Congrats Quest!

Mary J Blige continues to win! The R&B legend is not only doing well as an artist, she is also dominating as a performer and promoter.
We all witnessed her stunning performance at the Super Bowl a few weeks ago, where she stood as the only woman among the men and delivered a set that is still being talked about today.
She then announced a festival and summit titled Strength Of A Woman; an event she is doing in partnership with Pepsi. Its objective is to empower, elevate and educate women on Mother’s Day weekend (May 6-8) in Atlanta. Well shortly after it was announced, tickets sold out! That’s the strength of MJB.
