EJ & The Track Martians
When we come across talented people on the rise , it’s impossible to see the obstacles and growth processes they have experienced. EJ is the CEO, executive producer, artist, and songwriter for his independent record label and production company, the Track Martians. He overcame many things in pursuit of becoming a musical leader in Los Angeles. The journey he took was different than most coming into the music industry. Without the social media madness, fake flossing and loud talk, EJ focused on the music , establishing a legitimate business, and staying true within himself. With the high quality music consistently coming from his camp, it’s no surprise how he gets everyone on the same page while wearing so many different hats. His background in music is very wide and is a driving force behind his recent success.
Before the Track Martians, EJ already had some pretty impressive experiences under his belt. In college he majored in Business and Audio Engineering. Fresh out of college, EJ bounced around the US looking to gain experience within the music industry. Persistently making moves, he accepted a A&R position for Atlantic Records. Simultaneously he started to manage local LA artist with some friends at the time. Looking out for everyone except himself , over time EJ knew he had to invest in himself for the long run.
With few people in his corner and low on dollars , EJ spent his last money to land some studio space , where it is today known as Top Notch Recordings. This is the birthplace of the Track Martians. He then built a super team of a couple artists , producers, engineers and social media personnel. Business is officially boomin! Head of the songwriting duties , EJ began leading his artists to charting numbers on iTunes, making the popularity of his artists and crew grow rapidly in Los Angeles and on the internet.
Christmas 2015, EJ and the Track Martians release a complication album , Winter Formal. On this project , all of the Martian’s artists and producers contributed, including EJ, majority displaying his skillful pen game as a lyricist. In 2016 , he release two highly anticipated solo hits, Day One and Saucy. Both tracks, are melody heavy with groovy vibes, but bangers. Since releasing the tracks , EJ’s social media notifications have been full of Musical.ly videos of both tracks from his fans. The people are definitely starting to recognize he’s no one hit wonder.
The work never stops. Creeping into mainstream status , EJ has recently worked with Neyo and had Ralphael Saadiq attend one of his shows. When real talent is present, the respect will be long lasting. You don’t always finish who you start with, but it leave those from the past in deep regret. I’ve had the privilege of knowing EJ for a few years now , and not once have I witnessed any form negativity. By far, he is one of the most inspiring and humble people you can come across in this LA music scene. EJ is the proof that anything is possible. You just have to trust the process.

Hillary Clinton is no stranger to controversy. The health of the Democratic presidential candidate has been a concern lately. At the Democratic Convention in July, Clinton was interrupted by a persistent hacking cough.At a September 11th commemoration, she was seen stumbling and fainting before being whisked into an awaiting detail. Shortly after, she was revealed to gage pneumonia.Her health has the public wondering: Is Hillary Clinton well enough to be the president? What happens if she drops out of the race? If she drops out the race, another democratic nomination would take her place. So whether Hillary is in it or not,the race is still on.

No More Swaggy in LA?
Blogged by RG
With the summer slowly fading away , I made sure I caught tail end of The Drew League, LA’s most prized pro-am basketball league. In the last two weeks of the playoffs, I got a chance to see a few NBA ballers in action like James Harden, Brandon Jennings, Dorell Wright, Stanley Johnson, Terrence Ross, and Shaqtin a Fool legend JaVale McGee. But there was one player I didn’t mention, that I was very concerned with. Nick Young. During three years with the Los Angeles Lakers, the LA native easily became a fan favorite in the city. From the three pointer celebrations, to the comical post game interviews, charisma, and admirable personality helped his stardom grow while playing for the purple and gold. As a Laker fan , all I could do is wonder, am I watching Swaggy’s last games in Los Angeles here at the Drew League??
This past season Nick Young had many challenges that had the media buzzing. He couldn’t get a break. First, tallying career lows in both points per game (7.3 ppg) and three point percentage (32.5%), and playing limited minutes during Kobe Bryant’s farewell season. With the not Swaggy play, it lead to trade rumors, something that is known to spike the confidence of athletes of all sports. Next was the D'Angelo Russell incident. Russell secretly video recorded Young making comments detailing infidelity with a woman that was not his rapper fiancé Iggy Azalea that leaked for the world to see. D'Angelo was recently spotted at Staples Center for Drake’s Summer 16 Tour where he was heckled by fans yelling, “Hide your phone”. At the time of the incident it caused friction in the locker room which lead to more trade rumors. Nick and Iggy tried to work things out, but eventually decided to part ways. Although he made a mistake that went public and had a below average year of basketball, Young still tried to remain positive regardless of the situations at hand. Recently in a interview he revealed that he has been trying to patch things up with D'Angelo Russell, and his desire to remain a Laker. The uncertainties still floats around the city about his future, with reports that the Lakers were attempting to buy out his contract . We’ll never know until the season start, so we wait. The city of LA always shows support of their players. Regardless what happened last season, many fans are still rooting for Swaggy P.

The Colin Kaepernick Saga. Blogged by Rahni ... According to most American media and bystanders, Colin Kaepernick is unpatriotic. Despite sacrificing his body in the Gridiron purely for America’s entertainment. He is being spoken of negatively by peers and fans,dealing with the possibilities of losing endorsements, and being blacklisted.Never mind the rights,freedom of speech is supposed to protect. He’s being labeled as anti-American.
Kaepernick, a 49ers quarterback, has been making a statement and news headlines for sitting during the singing of The National Anthem. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
Colin made a decision to sit during a celebratory song, while others won’t stand up against police brutality and other forces that adversely affect and end human lives.Kaepernick, who is of Caucasian and African-American heritage,has a great vantage point from his seat. As an American of a mixed heritage and an adoptee, he is able to see a multi-faceted view of life. Additionally, the third verse of the song (usually not sung & scarcely known) is proslavery.
It states, “No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
Again, I ask, are these lyrics something to celebrate? The vices of captivity in those lyrics still echo the climate of brutality and injustice of present day . African-Americans will NEVER get reparations.For 400 years the blood, sweat, and tears of slaves fertilized,nurtured, and built America. Yet, their descendants have been rewarded with a narrative that continues to perpetuate superiority. At the very least,freedom of speech should be free.

FAMOUS by Rahn G. - Yesterday I casually lounged around and listen to Kanye West’s Life of Pablo album. The album been out for a minute now and I didn’t remember any visuals for the album being released, and then Famous came on. I paused it and went straight to YouTube to watch the video that caused a stir on the internet. (Yea , I’m pretty late). I learned that Yeezy’s visual was influenced by artist, Vincent Desiderio’s painting “Sleep” , with a swap of casting members starring George W. Bush, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Kanye, Kim Kardashian, Ray J., Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner, and Bill Cosby. First impression, I’m thinking this is weird , but it was funny at the same time. I really didn’t know how to interpret what I was viewing. I scrolled to the comments and I came across a very interesting comment breaking down a possible meaning of the video by YouTube user SHELLSHOCK . It read ,
“BREAKDOWN OF AN INTERPRETATION FOR THOSE WONDERING WHAT THIS IS ABOUT:
This video is about being famous and the repercussions of having the spotlight on you at all times. This represents the fact that even though these peoples lives are all vastly different, each one of them has had the spotlight shine on them in a negative way, all in different ways, but at the end of the day, they all share one thing in common. They’ve felt that feeling and they can all relate to each other in that way, despite how extremely polar-opposite many of them are to each other. They still sleep in the same bed, and they are naked to the world, because the spotlight is constantly on them, they have lost the ability to hide anything about them or keep anything personal. The media world has made them naked with its paparazzi voyeuristic culture. The video depicts this.
Notice how Kim’s butt is showing because the whole world has seen it.
Notice how Chris Brown’s hand is in a fist, harkening back to the Rihanna incident and perhaps several of the other scuffles/outbursts he’s gotten into that were reported by the media.
Notice how Ray-J is reaching for Kim under the pillow, showing that he still tries to bring her up in interviews/tweets etc in an effort connect himself to her fame to try and make himself remain relevant.
Notice how Caitlyn Jenner is holding the blanket over her ‘private’ area because she has said in many interviews that she does not want to talk about what procedures she has or has not had down there, despite being open about the sex change.
Notice how Bill Cosby is at the edge of the bed, on the outside, exiled. Notice how he has a hand on someone who is unconscious.
Notice how Rihanna is turned away from Chris Brown with her hands on her stomach. This harkens back to the rumors she was pregnant with Chris Brown’s child a few years ago, and her denial of those rumors.
Notice how Donald Trump is the lying on his stomach with his back turned completely and facing away, hiding something. ”
No bad right ? Thoughts ???
