You’ve probably heard one of his songs, Soft Spot, that was making its round on the internet a few weeks ago. But he actually has some good music in his discography. I found this one on his top 5 on Spotify. Check it out!

Cam’ron and Elliot Wilson sat down and had a conversation
Cam’ron came in hot, he had to get his get back. But after that, him and Elliot had a honest conversation moderated by Treasure Wilson.
Cam’ron and Elliot actually had fruitful conversation, even if the origins of this entire debate started in a malicious place with Elliot’s comments on the New Rory and Mal Podcast a few weeks ago. Today, they had a digital face to face conversation and got right to the meat of the controversy.
Elliot walked back some of his comments but more importantly he clarified his frustrations with the modern day media landscape. Acknowledging that he has to adapt and grow. Cam’ron expressed that he didn’t take often to being compared to Stephen A. Smith. Sounds like Cam’ron even took it as compliment. Cam’ron even went as far as to give Elliot some advice on what to do moving forward. It was some real man to man shit. Treasure Wilson did a great job and asked questions were on both side of the argument, Asking Cam: ‘If big artist need to sit with Journalist?’ and ‘Where does he think that journalist is going?’ So that everyone got put in the hot seat and asked the difficult questions.
A hot start but a great finish! A real man to man moment for that got shared with us.

Bad Bunny: The Rabbit Hole Behind the Pebble
DeBi TiRAR Mas FOTos has captured me in way that, I wasn’t expecting. Everyday I peel another layer and find a deeper meaning to the album. Hearing those horn on BAILE INoLVIDABLE… it’s a time machine that takes me to the beach in my mother hometown of Miche.
So I’ve been searching for more, the meaning behind the songs. I often find myself loving certain songs and not really understanding my attraction to it and in a weird way, with just a little effort, I find a deep rabbit hole behind a small pebble. Here’s what I’ve found so far:
Here are some screen captures from Bad Bunny’s Interview with Zane Lowe
This short film depicts an elder Puerto Rican who lives in modern day Puerto Rico, hinting subtly at what’s changed in Puerto Rico from when he was a young man. This couldn’t have come a better time given what happening in Puerto Rico.
Another familiar face joins Jimmy Fallon for the Tonight Show. Bad Bunny has stopped by the Tonight Show a few times before making this his 4th time. He and Jimmy Fallon seemingly have a great friendship. So much so that they even did a surprise pop-up show on the metro in NYC.

Bad Bunny is Back!
The album cover is everything. For anyone that’s from the Caribbean, they know what those white plastic chairs stand for. Chairs that are so strong and so fragile at the same time. Chairs that sit in the yard and under rain or sunshine, where elders hold court, where the family eats meals and tells jokes. It’s the same chairs I told my cousin to grab when I cut his hair out back, the same chair tio spent hours calling across the world to his family and friends. In those chairs we cry and we laugh, we debate and observe. After a long day or if there’s nothing to do. We sit in those chairs with a little bit of shade, shirts off, a little bit of rum and an opinion. It was the extra chair and main chair, the chair that moved in and out the house without hesitation or reservation. We may have paid for it but that was everyone’s chair, friend or foe, wanderer or lover. It’s a testimony and a monument.

Yuta Akaishi: The Mystery Mechanic
I was watching a vlog from The Chronicle YouTube series, a channel I came across a few years ago when I really started getting into Honda. They had a few vlogs on some time they spent in Osaka, Japan with member of the No Good Racing team. They’re insane and pretty raw.
While watching I came across this guy, Yuta Akaishi, and for years I didn’t know what his name was or much about him really. All I knew was that he was a solid mechanic, smoked cigarettes and seem to know what the hell he was talking about when it came to cars. At the time I really didn’t know much about cars, you think you know about cars but when you open the hood and start pulling bolts and covers off, you quickly find out you really don’t know shit. But for whatever reason I liked dude. He seem genuine and he had taste for the way he was doing things. I guess you can say I liked his style.
I kept watching the YouTube series here and there. And then all the sudden I stopped for whatever reason. But when I came back to the series Yuta wasn’t in front of the camera anymore. I wonder what had happened but I didn’t even know how to ask the question in the comments cause I didn’t even know bro’s name.
Fast forward to today I saw The Chronicles release a new video blog and Joey (the cameraman and face of the brand) mentioned some guy name Yuta and how they don’t really talk or whatever. Instantly I thought, “Is that the name of dude from the earlier videos I watched years back?” Scrolled down to the comments and read what the people were saying. There were some theories as to what had happened between Joey and the mystery man Yuta. but at the end of my comments dive I got a full name, Yuta Akaishi. So googled the name and there he was. The mystery mechanic I had seen years ago in the vlogs of Osaka.
There wasn’t much on the guy but some articles about an 240z he had built years ago, some old vlogs of course and an old article on a 97 civic that he was doing time attack in. From what the comments under the vlog said Yuta didn’t want to be in front of the camera anymore or that he wanted more privacy, which as a viewer sucks but I understand that. Not everything is meant to be shared or for public consumption.
After years of curiosity, I can finally put a name to the face
I’ll add the links to some of the article written on him and some of the vlog that he was apart of during his time at the chronicles. I don’t know maybe you’ll see what I see, maybe you’ll like his work as well.
I know I posted a bunch of video in this post but definitely check out the one below. It’s Yuta racing his 97 civic, same one from the speedhunters article above. He rips!
