J Cole Just Literally Changed The Game With ‘ATM’ (@JColeNC)

Posted on April 30, 2018 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

There is a lot of mix feelings about the visuals for J Cole’s ATM. Some people are really feeling it and labeling it as a whole next level in hip-hop, while others are saying it’s lame, wack etc. As far as we here at MJ Magazine is concerned, both the song and the video are on point. We fully endorse and support J Cole and what he’s doing.

Unfortunately, many people miss the underlying message, which is simply that “money isn’t everything” and “we shouldn’t sell ourselves for this money.”

Check out the video here and decide for yourself.

Zally pic As dancehall artists continue to attract a lot of negative publicity, several persons are speaking out, in some cases labeling the entire genre as bad.

Jamaican born, Florida based reggae/dancehall artist Zally – who is known for his clean, conscious lyrics – has taken a different approach. As opposed to bashing those contributing negatively to the music, he has embraced them. On his latest single, “Pray Fi Dancehall,” he advocates for the release of Vybz Kartel, Ninja Man, Buju Banton and others. Though he does not agree with their lyrical content, Zally believes that it is important to show them love instead of shunning them.

“Pray Fi Dancehall” is on Zally‘s own label (Zally Music). It was produced by Arioso Legato Music.
