After 2 incredile years of music, 2022 was starting off a little light in my opinion. That is, until 9th Wonder dropped the full length collaboration with The Musalini. For me, it the first dope hip-hop project of the year.

The grandaddy of all zombie shows is back on February 20th. Splitting the final season into a trilogy of mini series has made the show feel different and ramped up the impending doom on the horizon. Will we see Rick and Michonne again? With the Commonwealth going to war with our survivors? If/how will other…
I've always been a fan of Sam Wilson.. even with his early ridiculous blaxploitation outfit. He when he finally got to wear the shield, he leveled up BIG TIME. I've read Rick Remender's 2015 All New Captain America in limited series a dozen times and it's still pretty awesome. Nick Spenser took Sam in the direction of…
I've started working on my next project for 2022. I usually start by playing around in Logic Pro to get my chops back. I quickly grabbed a Luther sample and threw some drums under it to play around with new plugins I purchased and really fell in love wit the sound. Nothing special... just a…
They wanted to thaw history’s buried secrets. But now an undead army is awake… and hungry for flesh. Jen Reed longs to reconnect with her estranged father.

Even though the quality of CW's DC superhero shows is diminishing, they still seem to be doubling down on that corner. With the exception of the newer series Stargirl and the excellent Superman & Louis, their shared universe of shows has considerably dipped in quality. With Arrow, Black Lightning, and Supergirl all canceled, the CW is fighting to fit…
I'm all about unique vocals in music. Swedish-born, UK-raised Shaqdi has uniqueness in spades. Looking at her I'm surprised by her voice. She another in a long line of young artists reshaping World Soul music in the 2020's. https://youtu.be/xVKisbYFoWEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV2ay6JhR80
I wasn't that big on albums this year. There were tons of singles that I loved but I feel I'm not really into full alums anymore. There's too many projects that broaden the songs, attempting to capture the biggest audience as possible. So when you find an album with a good number of songs that…
Thanks to COVID, 2021 was the year of streaming. And media companies realized with so many captive eyeballs available (due to sheltering in place) that they needed to up their content game to capture those eyeballs. What we got was a ton of tv and streaming shows that rivaled motion pictures in visual quality and…
It's that time again! When I think I'm going to skip a year of The Toddy Awards, I get a bunch of emails and social DM's asking for them. So... let's get this started with movies. I thought 2021 was going to be anemic with the spread of COVID shutting down movie theaters across the…
