Bobby Brown and Uncle Charlie show up and show out on The Culture Tour
New Edition made a stop in-group member Johnny Gill’s hometown of Washington D.C. on Thursday, March 31st, as The Culture Tour continues to entertain audiences across the U.S. I previously reviewed the show during the Baltimore show. As a die-hard fan of New Edition, I had plans to attend another show regardless, but I felt it was only suitable to review the differences between the two shows.
Second Listen Sunday : Maxwell, Embrya
Boundaries and bonds are put to the test in a gritty crime-thriller drama about family, morality, and Maxwell is currently headlining The Night Tour with fellow soul-crooners Anthony Hamilton and Joe. As fans anxiously await the singer’s sixth studio album, I wanted to look back at his sophomore album, 1998’s Embrya.
Slow Jam Saturday: Anthony Hamilton, Some Kind Of Wonderful
Crooner Anthony Hamilton is currently entertaining audiences on The Night Tour with fellow soul-crooners Maxwell and Joe. It was a long road for Anthony Hamilton to break through to mainstream audiences. His 1996 XTC didn’t chart was quickly out of print. However, GOD had bigger plans for the singer.
Honor Thy Brother takes a different turn in The Devil You Know
Boundaries and bonds are put to the test in a gritty crime-thriller drama about family, morality, and redemption. Omar Epps leads an impressive cast for writer/director Charles Murray’s latest The Devil You Know from Lionsgate.

Tim Federle adapts his same-titled 2013 young adult novel for the small screen in Better Nate Than Ever. Nate Foster (Rueby Wood) has big dreams. His whole life, he has wanted to star in a Broadway show.
Second Listen Sunday : Charlie Wilson, Just Charlie
Charlie Wilson is currently one of the opening acts for New Edition’s highly successful The Culture Tour. Sadly Wilson wasn’t part of the lineup when my wife and I were in attendance for the Baltimore show of The Culture Tour.
Slow Jam Saturday : Charlie Wilson, Without You
Charlie Wilson was already an established star in his own right when “Without You,” the first single from his second solo album, Bridging the Gap, was released in the summer of 2000. At the turn of the 21st Century, Wilson was still touring with his group The Gap Band and singing hooks on numerous songs from rappers.
Sandra Bullock & Channing Tatum make The Lost City a winner

6:45 is a horror time loop mix
Filmmaker Craig Singer collaborates with writer Robert Dean Klein for the time loop horror flick 6:45 from Well Go Entertainment. A pulse-pounding psychological thriller about a dream vacation gone very, very bad 6:45 tells the story of Bobby Patterson (Michael Reed), who is taking one last romantic shot at saving his rocky relationship with his girlfriend, Jules Rables (Augie Duke).
Second Listen Sunday : Intro, Good Love
There’s just something special about the nineties R&B sound. It was a time when folks would actually dress up to hit a nightclub, when music was not vulgar, and when you went on a date, more time was spent gazing in the eyes of your date than at your phone.
Slow Jam Saturday : Playa, Incense Burning
Louisville, Kentucky R&B trio Playa burst onto the scene as part of DeVante Swing’s Da Basement Cru, aka Swing Mob, in the early nineties. While the group’s work with Swing remains in the vault, the group’s 1998 debut Cheers 2 U is easily one of the strongest albums of that year. I plan to revisit Cheers 2 U for Second Listen Sunday soon.
