DJ Nicholas Accepted into Emory University School of Medicine

Gospel artist DJ Nicholas has achieved another impressive milestone in his academic journey. Just nine months after earning a bachelor’s degree in applied science from Broward College, he has been accepted into the prestigious Emory University School of Medicine’s master’s program.

In a video shared on social media, DJ Nicholas described the acceptance as a challenging feat, noting the program’s highly competitive 5% admission rate. Reflecting on his journey, he recalled leaving Calabar High School with only two subjects, attributing it not to a lack of ability but to a lack of focus at the time.

Emory University School of Medicine, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is renowned for its excellence in medical education, biomedical research, and patient care.

Independent artist and producer Bry Hill, formerly known as Con, has officially re-released his single “Nuh Baddie Else” featuring Jamaican hitmaker Tarrus Riley. The Afrobeat-infused love song, which dropped earlier this year, returned to streaming platforms on September 6, 2025, as part of Bry Hill’s rebranding journey.

The song’s re-release marks a new chapter for Bry Hill, who’s evolving his sound and image while staying true to his roots in production and creativity. The initial release credited the artists as Con and Tarrus Riley, but the September 2025 version proudly carries Bry Hill’s new name.
