#iTunesSounds: Four to Know – May 18, 2016

By: Jordan Davis @JDavisPSB and Brandon Clay @PSBPopCulture

1) Panda by Fabolous

Fab comes through on arguably the hottest song of the year to date with a verse that is even cleaner than the beat. Just listen… — Brandon Clay

Favorite Line: “You ain’t fam I don’t trust ya. Brothas will jam up your hustle. Your own man wanna crush ya, that’s a D’Angelo Russell.” (a slick reference to the Russell / Nick Young fiasco in LA earlier this year)

2) Grab The Wheel by Lil Uzi

To be completely honest I’m not a Lil Uzi fan and even my roommate Dom (@PrinceJones06) can tell you that I hated whenever he put it on in the car. But this song is definitely extremely catchy and rides when you’re in the car with your friends. I have to give credit to my boy K Rock (@krockmcclain) for showing me this one. — JD Davis

Favorite Line: “Rocking shows, I might get a lake house with a boat. I might rock all white just like the Pope.”

3) The Man by Nav

The moment I heard this song I knew I had to throw it in my rotation. This is my first time hearing this artist but he’s got a dope new style. The chill tone of the song along with the rappers laid back style gives the track a smooth vibe. — JD Davis

Favorite Line: “Now she dancing like Billy Jean she wanna go home, And she wanna go wit me cause. She know I’m the man, she got no money she got no plans, Designer Pants.”

4) Tru by Lloyd

Lloyd has been away from the scene since his hit, “Lay It Down” in 2011. He’s back with this one and explains some of the issues that he’s dealt with in the interim. — Brandon Clay

Favorite Line: Apologies if I ever let you down, so much ish done happened that it’s hard to talk about. So many losses that my lawyer said don’t talk about it. Just had to pray and keep it cool til I could walk up out it. Came home helped my sister raise her child, kinda hurt me cause I could have had my own now. Lost my baby and it’s starting to hit home now.

#EntertainmentPSB: Sports, Music and Entertainment Summit – February 21, 2016

By: Jordan Davis @JDavisPSB and Brandon Clay @PSBPopCulture

The Sports, Music and Entertainment Summit was created by Jah Rawlings. The SME Summit provides a network for students and individuals in pursuit of careers in sports, music, television, film, and fashion industries. It was held at the Blackburn Conference Center on the campus of John Marshall Law School.

Brandon’s Panel Thoughts:

*** Follow Brandon on Instagram and Snapchat: @BrandonClayPSB

Fortunately, the summit was rescheduled due to weather concerns as I was in Austin, Texas on January 23rd. I sat on “The Playbook: The Business of Sports” panel with Jah, Cecelia Townes (practicing attorney) and Matthew Givens (sports agent).

The Playbook Panel

Bria Janelle (Smith) of LoudGenius.com served as the moderator. Bria actually played in our events as a high school prospect so she provided a first-hand take of the growth to the crowd. I tried to convey the energy, passion and spirit needed to make it in the industry. There will be some no’s along the way. The key is knowing when those signal whether an idea needs to be modified or if it’s an executive who is missing the boat on an idea worth executing. That comes with a feel for the market which can only be gained over time. The questions that came from the audience were outstanding and allowed me to also infuse my love of fashion as well as music into the discussion. Thanks again to everyone on stage and the people who put the summit together.

A couple of thoughts I shared with the audience from the music industry:

“Chains are cool to cop but more important are lawyer fees. That’s how it is now, that’s how it’ll always be. I’ll never change. This is always me.” – Jay-Z

“Music and sports are so synonymous cause we wanna be them and they wanna be us.” – Drake

Jordan’s SME Summit Take:

***Follow Jordan on Instagram and Snapchat: @PalmtreeJD

We pulled up to Blackburn Conference Center at John Marshall Law School around 12:10. After taking pre-panel pictures, we chopped it with some of the panelists while the panel before Brandon’s came to a close. They even had one of the producers of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta sitting on the panel.

Once Brandon’s panel got started, they gave some really good insight into the start up of a business and the different obstacles a person would come across. Towards the end there was a a brief “Q & A” in which some great questions were asked including discussions about religious tolerance in the sports/business world. I thought it was a great seminar to attend for anyone, including myself, who wants to really pick the brain of some successful entrepreneurs & CEO’s. I even heard a student say, “this is the best conference I’ve ever attended. All of the panelists were so accessible after they spoke.”

Brandon’s Post-Summit Take:

I want to personally thank everyone in the audience who took the time to come and speak to me afterwards. Jordan said we were there an extra 75 minutes. Truthfully, it felt like 10 minutes to me. Your stories, passion and vision for the future motivated me throughout the remainder of the day. There were people I’ve known for years coupled with fresh new faces. We’re all in the same boat in terms of helping each other move forward. I want to shout out everyone who took time to place a card in my hand, follow me on social media or sent me a follow-up email / text since I left yesterday. Here’s to hoping I don’t miss anyone:

Ali Abedi
Benjamin Aqua
Scott Bates
Chad Berger
Julius Bryant
Erin Chance
Nicole Davis Edwards
Sara Gershon
Latisha Hanna
Nicole Metsch
Joycelynn Okezie
John Rose
La’Porscha Smalls

#EntertainmentPSB: “The Bachelor” – No. 17 to No. 24 – January 5, 2016

Taylor Johnson will bring us weekly updates from the hit TV series “The Bachelor.” She’ll breakdown fashion from the show and rank the remaining contestants on a weekly.

By: @KTaylorPSB

Ben Higgins, the 26-year-old star of the season, was quite the gentleman Monday night for his premier as the new bachelor for ABC. He greeted 28 women to the bachelor mansion, but I think there were a few women he wished he denied at the front door. This season is not short of any of the usual crazy personalities that “The Bachelor” producers never fail to entertain us with.

Here is a ranking of No. 17 to No. 24 remaining ladies from my favorite to least favorite:

17) Rachel, 23: Shout out to Rachel for being unemployed but still riding up on a hover board for her introduction. Unfortunately for Rachel, she didn’t receive much TV time so all we know about her is that she is unemployed.

18) Maegan, 30: Maegan was so proud of herself for upstaging the twins by bringing a pony to the mansion. That said, her dress choice did not upstage anyone.

19) Izzy, 24: Izzy thought it was a great idea to wear a onesie for her first impression with Ben. Nothing says you are taking this seriously like an adult onesie.

20) Jackie, 23: Jackie introduced herself to Ben with a save the date for her and Ben’s wedding, wedding hashtag and all. Fortunately for her Lauren R. upped the crazy by admitting she stalked Ben on social media for months, saving Jackie from elimination for one week.

21) Shushanna, 27: I don’t have much to say about Shushanna because unfortunately I do not speak Russian.

22) Leah, 25: If my mom watched me make an entrance to the show like Leah did, I think she would disown me. Bending over to snap a football in an evening dress is never a good look.

23) Mandi, 28: Another Bachelor type cast, Mandi is without a doubt the crazy chick of the season. She is apparently a dentist, but I am just curious of the number of people that actually let her touch their mouths with sharp tools.

24) Lace, 25: Lace had one too many glasses of wine, but it made for great TV. I kind of liked her at the beginning with her gorgeous dress, sarcastic comments, and facial expressions. However, by the end of the night she was full blown even confronting Ben about not giving her eye contact during the rose ceremony… after she already received a rose. I’m thinking Ben regret that decision, but thanks for another week of Lace sarcastic comments, Ben!

Unfortunately, Lauren R., the self-proclaimed stalker was eliminated on the first night. Maybe revealing that you stalk someone’s social media is more second date material. Laura, aka “red velvet” joined her on their limo ride to the airport. Laura’s excuse, “he’s just not into gingers,” or maybe he’s just not into women who refer to themselves as “red velvet.” Breanne cried her way out of the mansion after the rose ceremony, mainly because I think there was too much gluten in the house for her to handle. Lastly, Jessica also exited the mansion. She seemed sweet and genuine, which probably means she just wasn’t wild enough to keep the show entertaining.

My fellow PSBPopCulture.com Team members: Brandon Clay and JD Davis will join me in playing the Bachelor Fantasy Draft each week. Play along here: Bachelor Fantasy Draft

#FreshStyleFits: Jordan 11 “72-10” – December 21, 2015

By: Brandon Clay @PSBPopCulture

The Retro Jordan 11‘s are arguably the most popular shoe in the Jordan Collection. I can say with certainty that they are for me. The combination of the patent leather and crisp lines on the shoe make it a must purchase anytime a new color way is released. On December 12th, Jordan Brand dropped the “72-10” version. The shoe is in Chicago Bulls colors to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Michael Jordan-led team that won 72 games en route to the 1996 NBA World Championship.

The shoes were (and still are) relatively cost friendly with a retail price of $220. While the shoe isn’t available on any retail sites that I could find after the end of first day release, multiple secondary resellers have them for under $320. These make an ideal Christmas gift for the sneakerhead in your household.

#PSBSportsChop: Atlanta vs. Miami – December 15, 2015

By: Brandon Clay @PSBPopCulture and By: Jordan Davis @JDavisPSB

ATLANTA – With the Miami Heat in town, it was a perfect time to check out the Atlanta Hawks live in action for the first time since Opening Night. PSBPopCulture.com Team members Jordan Davis and Taylor Johnson were on hand for the action. The crowd was filled with music stars including Atlanta-based acts Keri Hilson sitting two rows in front of us and 2 Chainz across the floor sitting so close he could trip a ball player.

On the hardwood, Kent Bazemore (Hawks) and Chris Bosh (Heat) led their teams statistically as the Heat led this one from the start. Expect to see both of these teams in the Eastern Conference Playoffs with a rematch possible along the way.

What is PSBPopCulture.com – December 8, 2015

The initial vision for the PSBPopCulture.com website was to provide our team a home to discuss everything that happens when we aren’t in the gym. Since the release of the site in October, we’ve received feedback from people of all walks of life. From Elbert Kinnebrew in California to Shane Laflin in Texas, we appreciate everyone who has taken time to read the content we work so hard to post. That type of response is exactly what we wanted. Whether it’s interviews with the future of (Atlanta) music, reviews of the TLC series series “Coach Charming” to our take on the University of Missouri situation, we’ve aimed to bring a diverse set of topics to the website and our social media account as well.

Our Team has been fantastic with emerging stars Stella Alverson and Jordan Davis leading the way with top shelf content during the Fourth Quarter of 2015. Veteran writer Jonathan Hemingway has been as clutch as Jay Cutler was on Thanksgiving Day. We’ve delivered 40 original pieced since the mid-October launch. We could not have done it without article assists from people like Donte Grant, Terah Moore and Carl Reed.

So what’s next for our team as 2015 turns into 2016? We have interviews lined up with up-and-coming music artists like Riley Bierdrer, live access to NBA games and even have Justin Bieber’s “Purpose Tour” in Atlanta on the calendar to cover. If you want us to tell your story, feel free to contact us via DM on Twitter to make it go down.

Here’s a look at some of the social content we’ve posted since the launch:

#iTunesSounds: Three to Know: Migos, Roy Woods and Travis Scott – October 24, 2015

“Three to Know” will give our readers a different look at some of the hottest albums/songs in the music game regardless of genre from our writers iTunes collections. This week, we take a look at three selections from Jordan Davis’ vantage point:

By: Jordan Davis @JDavisPSB

1) Travis Scott’s album “The Rodeo”

Travis Scott has been under the radar for quite sometime now until his debut album “The Rodeo” was released this year. Although having previous mixtapes and quite popular songs, it has been hard for this 23-year-old rapper to break out of the underground circuit and establish mainstream notoriety. Originally from Houston, Texas, Scott is looking to establish himself as the next big thing in the “H-Town” lineage of music artists. Scott added some quality features to this breakout album, including artists such as Future, 2 Chainz, Rae Sremmurd, and his personal favorite, Kanye West. This is an album that hip-hop fans should give a listen if they are looking for new sounds.

2) Migos on the rise?

This time two years ago, radio stations nationwide were playing “Versace” consistently. Since then, the Migos have been a well known household name for the new wave of rap fans. The Atlanta-based rap group has sold out shows from coast to coast and worked with the likes of Young Thug, Drake, Travis Scott, and Fall Out Boy in the process. After releasing their recent album Yung Rich Nation, the Migos are well on their way to becoming more than just a regionally popular rap group.

3) Roy Woods EP “EXIS”

Just a few years ago when Canadian artists were mentioned it immediately brought images of Drake, Justin Bieber, Beck, and The Weeknd. Recently, the powerful status that Drake holds has been able to shine light on talented upcoming artists such as Majid Jordan, PartyNextDoor, ILoveMakonnen, OB O’Brien, Amir Obe, and Roy Woods. Roy Woods being the latest of artist to come on the scene since his song “Drama” featuring the aforementioned Drake was played nationwide. Woods then dropped his EP called “EXIS” in which he displays his singing abilities and unique style. For the record, I’m a fan and even turned my editor, Brandon Clay, on to Woods’ style. There’s no question this is quality late night car ride music or when you’re in the mood to just vibe. It’s easy to see why OVO signed Woods who is bringing a new R&B style to the industry. In that way, Woods’ hopes to duplicate the success of The Weeknd and PartyNextDoor. I’ll keep you posted.
