BROOKLYN UNITY FEST:

There is strength in numbers and the Brooklyn Unity Fest went ahead to prove that theory in their 8th annual event. If someone were to question "Where Brooklyn at?" the proof would be front and center. Ultimately the Brooklyn Unity Fest gave back to its community in a major way!

Aside from its free giveaway on Summer Jam tickets, bikes and t-shirts — there was also a Fabolous Way 3 Point Contest and Stomp the Violence Dance Contest.

From the basketball courts, vendors, face painting, multiple stages and even a bouncy house — the festival made sure to bask in its pride.

Overall, everyone was very accepting. Once the performers went onstage their was a common ground shared between the younger and older generation.

Not only were their crowds of kids doing the Stanky Leg, but there was all smiles and a fascination towards the new age sound. Many of the artists recieved new fans but their main focus was giving their all in the name of hip-hop. The genre has taken them to new heights and for that matter they encourage others to follow their dreams. In a word, there was no other place that I wanted to be! The Brooklyn Unity Fest had great vibes. No wonder Brooklyn is the Most Thorough Borough! Their community is willing to give a lending hand if needed be.

Although I wasn't able to interview all of the performers, here are some brilliant creatives that I had an opportunity to speak with:

1. MARLEE HENDRIX: Known for being authentically dope, Mr. 70's cared to elaborate not only through his super fly assemble of jet-black boots (with flowers on the heel) fedora and lime green pants — but also through his genre-defying style of soul and hip-hop. At most, Marlee's palette for music brings his sound to life but what drives it even further are the artist that he's moved by. As said by Hendrix, the Temptations (and even Eminem) inspire him because of the different things they bring to the table. "Music is in my bones." Hendrix says.

2. SOULJIASPAIDE and EVELINASOWAVY: Two who share a bloodline, Souljiaspaide and Evelinasowavy do it to perfection. Even when they've been through the wringer, they're above it all and venture into money missions. Starting off her music journey when her mom bought a computer, Souljiaspaide began to record her own songs. Then as time passed, Evelinasowavy came in and did a solid 16 which left Souljiaspaide in awe. "I didn't even know she could rap." Likewise they share a love for hip-hop. For them it's everything and it all comes down to Tupac because he's an artist who educates. With this in mind, they want upcoming artist to stay positive. "Don't get annoyed," Evelinasowavy says. "It can happen. Don't let anything get in your way." Souljiaspaide adds.

3. D.CHAMBERZ and D.MCCRO: D.Chamberz and D.MCCRO wear a lot of hats in the music industry. While D.Chamberz brings the ruthless bars, D.MCCRO makes the soundscape so D.Chamberz can freely express himself. On a whole, D.Chamberz gained something from hip-hop and it helped him control his emotions. He puts his pen to the pad and works with a music group whereas D.MCCRO works in the hottest studios in New York. He is an engineer and producer. Motivated by money, both keep a green thumb. They’ve got their Benjamin’s aligned,

4. DATWINPRINCE: Swagful with the drip on his neck and wrist — DATWINPRINCE rode his own wave at the festival. As he gave the crowd a boost of energy when he performed "Drip 3X" DATWINPRINCE gleamed from ear-to-ear because it really just comes easy. Off the rip, DATWINPRINCE identifies as a professional Milly Rocker, dedicated singer and rapper. Still, the grind never stops. Every year he pushes even harder because it's all just preparation and practice. Good music goes a long way, "It made me realize I had a way to express the things I felt, but was always scared to say." DATWINPRINCE says. In the same way he is the voice for those who feel the same. The dope vibes never end. *Make sure to check out his latest single, "DRIP3X", it's on all streaming platforms.*

5. JX and BIG DAWG K: Real recognizes real & when I spoke to them I just knew they were it. Even though the two exinguish the blaze in their 16's alone, they create a mine field when facing their competitors. As an outsider, I could sense the energy they both share and I've got to say it's very inspiring. At just 9 years old JX was writing and so the pen manifested them into rhymes. Even at a young the first song he sung was"Hip-Hop Hurray." But JX hopes that his music inspires and encourages others to be themselves. In the same way Big Dawg K wants his music to say that dreams are achievable. "If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything." Middle school was where his music journey started and for the MC, when he's onstage it's another day in the office. On the other hand, JX says to himself "let's go kill it". However they both just aim to have fun. Expect a mixtape from JX on DatPiff in July. For now check out Big Dawg K's album, Soul Food (on all streaming platforms) and JX's video "730 Freestyle" on Worldstar.

6. ZOE E ROSEGOLD: A 9-to-5 chick with a ride-or-die soul, Zoe stands for all the women in her sound. As she test all of the genre-elements, Zoe makes sure that her music is for self-enjoyment. Before she gets onstage, the star plans to deliver a message. However she really leaves it up to God. Aside from herself, she's really moved by the rap game because it's now given women a turn to dominate! Even though she just started her journey a year ago, music has always had a place in her heart. "I went to school and graduated with my nursing degree but the music just kept caling." she says. while you're on the road listen to her single, "Coke Music". It defines what her sound does to you.

7. FEE DOLLAZ: With swag on a mf'ing 1000, Fee Dollaz rap style goes untouched. She's really her best self on and off the stage so it's safe to say that she's going places. Although she's from D.C, the rap star felt right at home when entering the Greater New York. Hip-hop has always been a passion of hers and when she says she is tired of a 9-to-5, many "100" emojis go up in favor. Likewise, hip-hop for Fee is bouncy, fun and real. Expect a 90's twist in her sound along some personable rhymes. Her message to the upcoming artist is to be you and follow your dreams. Make sure to bump "Set it Off" on the road. But the best is yet to come! Stay tuned for her album "World of My Own."

8. LIVELIKEDAVIS: The epitome of the fire emoji, LIVELIKEDAVIS brings the flame in 2019 and for many years to come. An avid fan of his, it was only right to tell him how amazing "Choppa For Advice" was but what I came to learn is that LIVELIKEDAVIS has been getting spins from the DJ off the rip. LIVELIKEDAVIS has been pursuing music since he was 13 years old but it really got far once he blew up on Vine in 2013. LIVELIKEDAVIS says that hip-hop is for self-expression and allows one to put it all on the table. But what inspires him the most is hip-hop's ability to paint a vivid picture of the artist's backstory. His advice for all upcoming artist is to stay constistent and to never listen to anyone but yourself. Take his word for it. LIVELIKEDAVIS plans on releasing a project soon. My question is: Will the fans get to hear a Lil Tjay feature? Maybe so. Go and stream “BEYBLADE” now. It’s available on all platforms

9. SANTOS: Santos has a larger than life personality. Not only does he carry the same influential power that music does, but he also has an business man mentality, because he’s about his business, man. Starting off with his own marketing company, Santos was blessed with the opportunity to showcase his talents to BET. In turn, Santos shined through the lights and now is apart of the show, Hustle in Brooklyn. Besides this Santos also has his own record label. When he scouts out for talent, they must have a vision and ambition. Really it just shows that they’re ten toes down for the long haul. Santos list women and his mother as personal inspirations. On the road Santos likes to shuffle between 50 Cent, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie. His word of advice to any upcoming artist is to spend the same amount of money you would on Jordan’s on an LLC. If you can’t invest in yourself how do you expect for others to?

A Very Creative Girl

I’d read this story already. You know the super scary one with the humanoid thing that convinces you it’s friendly with ease only to be discovered as the exact opposite. Our class had been assigned to reading this story and analyzing it, and by analyzing I meant studying how descriptive words are used. Mostly for a refresher, I read the story a second time.

No matter how many times I read a story, it engulfs me entirely. The moment I finish the first sentence, everything plays out before me and the world around me disappears. This is where is starts sounding cliché, right there, with the whole becoming a part of the story. I realized that years ago when I tried to explain that I actually become part of the story. Everyone I spoke to told me that it was normal, I thought that we were seeing eye to eye and that everyone did this. I cannot emphasize enough how wrong I was. In my own defense I was very young when I had all of these talks. To my dismay, as a teenager saying these things to people I either sound like I just came from woodstock or everyone thinks I am a very creative girl.

I hate describing things in my stories now. Whenever I review them everything starts to feel hypnagogic. Reading my own stories is worse than déjá vu on an acid trip, not that I know what one is like.

As soon as I laid eyes on the story everything seemed to melt away. My body could not physically move but my mind did all of that for me, so we took a look around. This story started in a empty street, in which the sun was setting, almost perfectly aligned with one end of the road that disappeared into what had been described as a horizon. A man strolled down the street. He had on an ironed, navy blue suit with a black shirt underneath. He called it his interview suit and was confident in every step with a new title to his name. He was…

A woman caught his eye across the street walking more quickly. The woman’s thick brown curls bounced like feathers in a basket with every step she took. The steps drew no sound from her red wedged heels. Her hips, oh those woman’s hips, swayed only a little as she moved. He shook his head. I wanted to shake mine as well. Get it together Matthias.

Matthias continued to watch the woman from his side of the road. She was beyond gorgeous. This woman seemed to move with the most perfect precision so that her movement flowed more smoothly than the wind. Matthias, being the confident man he was today, decided he would take a shot. What’s the worst that could happen? Even if the woman were to flat out reject him, he had still gotten a very nice job that would win him a woman just as beautiful. Matthias adjusted the black tie around his neck like any man would before approaching a beautiful woman, and began to cross the street.

“Excuse me, miss!” he said with a full voice. The woman stopped to look back at him as he-

The knock on my door caused my entire vision to shatter into tiny glass pieces. I squeeze my eyes shut and cover my ears to close out the shriek that always followed a disruption. My sister never spoke when it was time for dinner. She only knocked three times, our little code. I put away the story and begin to reorient myself.

This is my room. The queen sized bed with lime green bedding is my current sitting place. The walls around me are only slightly darker than maroon. The walls are not very close and it is dark outside. I can tell through my window across the room that forest green curtains parted to display the stars outside. This is the real world and it is time for dinner with my family.

My feet find the hardwood floor and begin their march to the bedroom door. Upon my unmotivated request, my parents replaced the original door of the room with one of mahogany. I am currently trying to find the reason behind such a desire, but I followed it.

As I make my way to the stairway I looked at the years of family pictures on the wall.

~~~

Leah is my best friend. She is my creative writing teacher but she is also very kind and understanding. I’m spending my lunch time with her, she’ll let me read a paper from another student if she thinks it is really good. Most of the stories aren’t that great, when you can see it all around you it is easy to see many flaws.

I look up to Leah after finishing another story. This one was almost as if a game had glitches, staticky and unclear. As I watch her read I begin to wonder what goes through her mind when she reads all of these papers. How does someone who can’t read like me see a story this bad as good?

I study her face as my mind wanders, the way her eyes narrow occasionally and how her right hand picks at her earlobe. I can only guess that she has seen a severe mistake when he forehead wrinkles and her eyebrows come together

~~~

There he is. I’d followed him all day waiting for him to check out that book I had recommended. Mason chose a park bench by the walkway paved for jogging and biking to read his book. I plopped down on a park swing just far enough away for him not to see me watching him like this.

I waited for him to get comfortable. I’d been practicing for so long. This whole thing is so selfish, but I can’t help myself. He opened the book and began to read. After a few seconds I begin to read too.

I decided to write the scenery around us to make things easier for both of us. Mason did not notice the change such as the disappearance of everything around us. I decided it was time for him to put the book down beside him and stand up. He had always had an amazing grace in his movement. His posture always unwavering, his movement fluid and confident.

At this moment his confusion was visible on his face. It was time for a young woman to approach him on the walkway, me. The bounce of my brown curls had been exaggerated for the sake of the scene. Mason turned to see me, I hadn’t given him words to speak yet.

“L-laTrease, it is nice to see you”. I had almost written a frown on my face, Mason was fighting this, he is supposed to be fluid and graceful. I smiled and stood directly in front of him.

“Welcome to my world, Mason. Obviously you are confused, I’ll explain, but first,” Suddenly Mason and LaTrease were sitting across from each other at a coffee table, two cups of hot tea already poured between them. “This should be more comfortable.”

His mind was in the most italicized font one could imagine; I can write my own story but I can’t write a mind. I wish there was a way to calm the alarms ringing in his head, I can read it too.

“I have a special ability, if it hasn’t been made obvious already. I can read anything, for the most part. People are the easiest to properly understand since I am one, animals come next.” I picked up the cup of tea before me and blew on it four times to cool it down.

I had sacrificed many hours of my sanity each day to write this script so that everything would follow through as it should. I couldn’t tell reality from fantasy for days, even now it may take several minutes on the park swing to gather myself when this is done. I am, after all, rewriting my own story from memory.

I made Mason relax his body into the black love seat on his side of the table.

“I thought you would be someone I could finally show this to, it’s hard coming to terms with what i have. I also learned that it is easier to start a story while someone is reading, their mind is already there.” His brain processed my words and a flurry of thoughts flew through his head in panic.

“I understand that it is strange not truly having control of yourself here, I give you the freedom of your thoughts since I cannot and do not want to control them anyway.” He sat upright only to take a sip of his tea, set it down, and relax again. “Since I am writing everything that happens here I can not give you free will, hopefully I may figure that out in the future.”

We sat in a chilling silence to allow him to reminisce over what I have said. I can see why he’d want to believe this is an acid trip, but his mind kept running back to it. Time froze as I honed in on reading his thoughts between the lines of my story.

“What in god’s name is happening? Is my medication laced? It can’t be! The container was properly sealed. Could there have been something in my food? No, I didn’t taste anything. Maybe it was a new drug. Why can’t I move, ugh. What is with this psycho, whatever it is she isn’t safe, geez!” His mind rambled on about similar things.

“I can end the story here” I said interrupting his train of thought, the thought that he might die was the caboose. “No, that does not mean I will kill you. It means you will be back on the park bench reading that book of short stories I had suggested.”

We closed our eyes and opened them to find ourselves back at the park. Standing beside the walkway.

“I recommend you sit for a while and reorient yourself, remind yourself of the reality around you before you move around.” His mind grew slightly calm after my words, but one thought screamed loud and clear.

“I need to tell Melissa”

I can’t have him running around making this difficult.

I let out a chuckle, “Oh dear, I may have given you the freedom of your mind, but this freedom does not come with privacy. I’m shocked you haven’t realized.”

Every blade of grass in sight dried and browned. The tree immediately became engulfed in flames, the fire running out of fuel seconds after to expose charred wood surrounding us. Chains shot from the ground and bound Mason’s wrists, once fastened they pulled him to the ground. My will made him look up to me.

“I should have known this would never be like the fairy tales, it’s hard to understand that when I literally live them when you read them.” I allowed the panic in his head to show through his eyes, they seemed as if they were ready to burst.

Time froze once again as I took the time to think, not so much about what I was doing but more so about whether I really should do this. I had prepared myself for every outcome, I knew that I could take control of the situation in a second. If I finished this, there would be no one to believe Mason, just as I had endured. I can’t have anyone believing him, he’d only make it harder for me.

“Turn me into the authorities, I dare you.” I had unfroze time with these words and allowed clowns of all sizes to come from behind the trees and plant kisses on his face. Diamonds pushed out of the pores of his skin, one at a time. I allowed Mason to scream all he wanted, the real world would not hear him.

“I spent all my years of reading trying to show someone what was really happening.” I mumbled more so to myself than to the shrieking Mason on the ground. “It’s amounted to almost nothing now.”

The story finished there, on a cliff hanger.

I open my eyes just in time to see Mason shaking as he drops his book on the ground. He turns his head in the direction I had come from in the story, he then stands and walks in the direction.

Mason did not need to go far to finally see me. He did not have to think twice before he breaks out in a sprint, startling the mother nearby with her son. He dove at me on the swing, knocking me off onto the wood chips beneath us.

“What did you just do!” He screams, his hands going for my throat. “Let me go! Let me go!” He lifts my head and slams me against the wood chips over and over. I feel blood drip from the back of my head due to the splinters.

It took only a few seconds for a park ranger to rip him off of me. A young boy around age 9 helps me sit up and calls his mother to him

“My mom is a doctor, she can help you. She even carries a small first aid kit in her purse.” His mother came rushing towards us putting on latex gloves immediately. She began picking splinters out of my head while I watched the ranger cuff Mason.

Another police vehicle arrived to finish taking him away, an ambulance arrived right after for me. The boy and his mother helped me into the back of the ambulance.

On the ride to the hospital I spoke with the 9 year old whose name turned out to be Linus, he told me a lot about his mother, Maria, who was still treating the back of my head.

“I hope he isn’t bothering you too much darling,” Maria said behind me, “He loves to talk about books.”

“No it’s fine.” I wanted to laugh, she doesn’t even know. “He’s got quite the imagination.”

Linus frowned at me and opened his mouth in protest.

The story began at the top of a grassy hill in the middle of nowhere.

“I already know Linus, I believe you.” I winked at him.

Linus looked around him in awe, his eyes shined bright as he read the scene before him.

“I can read it all!” he exclaimed clapping his hands then turning to me. “Are you writing this?” I only nodded and prepared to end the story.

“Don’t try telling Maria, she won’t believe you.” Linus rolled his eyes at my words, he already knew that. “One day you will write like this.”

He grinned ear to ear as the world dissolved back into the ambulance as it pulled up to the hospital.

~~~

I received a letter a week before the battery case with Mason, two letters actually. The first one dating three days ago, stating that Mason’s mental state was not healthy enough to be put in a case, that he would be sent to an asylum instead. The second letter also dating three days ago stating that Mason had clawed at his throat until he ripped it open and died. The time given for the time of death was minutes before he was said to be picked up to be transferred to the asylum in the first letter.

Poor Mason, he wouldn’t even have a chance to tell the people crazy enough to believe him.

Paladins + Vehicles

Ok so I couldn’t get this out of my mind so let’s mcfreakin do this

Shiro

drives a Ford Expedition just as damaged as he is but listen, Black is a babe (high key based of a car I once drove)

Is mostly black except for some reason the hatch is khaki green and she’s missing bits of paint and has scratches and dents just everywhere

was the first car Shiro ever bought and he got her at a police car auction

he found a broken meth pipe hidden in the dash while he was replacing the heating core (nice)

she was super cheap bc she needed a lot of work but Shiro got her working like a champ!

she looks like she can breakdown at any second but shiro has driven this tank into the craziest situations

has driven over sidewalks to avoid waiting to turn at a light

said fuck it and drove over a huge ass snowback bc why not?

the one you call to move furniture or to get you when you get stuck

the official Camping Vehicle bc not only can she get into places a full size SUV shouldn’t physically be able too she’s the perfect tent/hauler!

Has phone alarms set up for all her checkups so he doesn’t miss a single oil change, brake check, tire rotation, or even spark plug replacement

he’s dedicated as fuck to his poor damaged bby

Has a ‘protection skeleton’ for good luck

his parents always had ‘protection angels’ so it’s traditional. he’s just morbid so protection skelly

Keith

has a red Honda CBR (Lance makes fun of his ‘crotch rocket’ but not so secretly gets him flustered)

Her name is officially Red but Keith always calls her ‘His Girl’

Will cry if she gets a scratch and will spend all day buffing it out

has totally made improvements to her and honestly, she can’t even be called a CBR anymore because wow he has replaced nearly all the stock parts with fancy illegal stuff

has spent the most money on his vehicle, like he spends more on Red than food. Shiro buys him groceries a lot

routinely races muscle cars and wins (of course)

but also has the most speed tickets bc this angry child doesn’t know what a speed limit is

“The day I go the speed limit will be the day my body gets driven to the morgue” Keith bby no

actually likes giving out rides so he always has two spare helmets (for small and large heads) and an extra leather jacket bc safety is important

will not let you ride if you don’t wear the jacket bc even tho he’s a speed demon Keith is super concerned with safety

once Red got bumped in a parking lot and fell over and it was honestly the worst day in Keith’s life

he stormed into the nearest store and demanded to see their camera feeds

WHAT CHUCKLEFUCK HIT MY BIKE I NEED THEIR LICENSE PLATE IM GONNA MURDER THEM

he scared the poor CS gal so bad she started crying and managers got involved and Keith just didn’t understand why he couldn’t see who hit Red bc this boy was out for blood

Police got called, Keith got escorted out, he tried to argue with the cop but things escalated and Shiro had to bail is baby brother out

after picking up Red ofc (Shiro has a portable ramp in his car. He. is. Prepared.)

Lance

has a 20 yr old Camry he affectionately calls Blue for short but her real name is essentially The Blue Babe of My Heart but he says it in spanish and I am not gonna try and translate that

he bought her super cheap from Hunk who had bought her as a turn around 

Lance was hanging around Hunk’s shop and honestly it was love at first sight

Hunk was all for it because honestly Camry’s are freaking tanks and never die and Lance is a disaster

they’re perfect for each other

has the best smelling car. He lives for those little scenty things you put in the dash

whenever Blue makes weird noises he’s just like ‘I know babe, i know. I got ya. You can make it because you are such a good girl!’

he talks the most to his car and it’s just so precious

Unironically has fuzzy dice and everyone hates them but the last time someone tried to take them down while Lance was driving he nearly flipped the car in his rage. No one touches them if they want to live.

Never locks his car bc you can’t just start it like a normal car so no one can steal it. also, no one wants a 20 yr old car

only Hunk and Lance can start her. everyone else has tried but they can’t figure out how lance and hunk do it.

Group belief is that Blue runs on magic

Has a “My child is an Honor Student” bumper sticker and he loves it. Cue group inside joke about Hunk and Lance being proud parents of their Honor Student child Pidge.

Once tried taking Keith on a romantic date out to the woods but Blue got stuck in the trail bc Lance kept forgetting to replace his bald ass tires

Hunk had to go get them and gave Lance a lecture about it

they still had a nice time though just sitting on Blue’s hood

Hunk

Ok so he’s a mechanic right? Hunk runs a small shop where he buys cheap cars people can’t fix, fixes them, and sells them for profit but he really excels at restoration

Drives a pastel yellow Ford F100 from the 50′s called Butter

She’s actually a F250 under the hood but shhhhhh

the only thing original on this babe is the body, which Hunk routinely checks for rust or damage

There’s usually car parts, wood, or other random things in the bed bc Hunk also does construction on the side but if you wanna go star gaze, Butter is the best

Hunk will make a nest and it’s routine for everyone to just fall asleep in there watching the stars

Hasn’t done anything crazy in Butter bc she’s an antique and he is Responsible™

Like Keith he will spend hours buffing out any scratches and while he won’t completely loose it over bigger damages he will cry and be morose until he repairs it

However, if you put your feet on the dash he will break-check your ass, DON’T. DO. IT.

No eating in his car either

in fact don’t even be dirty in his car ok

Hates driving in winter bc the salt they put on the roads is terrible for cars and he feels her pain so he usually goes places with Lance or waits for the Weekend Costco Trip with Shiro

Is a good one to call if you get stuck bc this babe can pullout anything

Puts the reindeer antlers on his car for christmas

Puts flower bouquets in the grill for summer

Pidge

has two vehicles: a little lime green Vespa for summer and a deep green 2005 Prius for winter

hasn’t really named her vehicles and just refers to them as the Vespa and the Prius

she does love them though, like they are always clean and shiny

Got the Prius for her 18th birthday and she saved up for the Vespa bc she wanted to be that person who goes to Famer’s Market wearing a big straw hat and nice sun dress on a scooter

she’s adorable

shows up at Shiro’s, “I’m here to pick up a fossil” “Pidge I’m 25.” “Yeah, he’s got white hair and 4 children”

shows up and Lance and Hunk’s place, “Get in nerds, we’re going shopping”

sees Keith out on the street while on her Vespa. Challenges him to a race. Keith let her win once and it was all she could talk about for weeks bc she was so proud of her Vespa

modified the horn of her Prius to a semi-truck honk and uses it only for evil

there’s always soil in the back of the Prius bc she uses it to visit the nursery and just never cleans it

smells like earth in it as a result and it’s actually super peaceful

Gives everyone shit about their gas mileage bc she gets like 40+ to the gallon
