Check out my new app- CheerApp

THE ARGUMENT I'm sure we all agree that 2020 has been one hell of a year. Many found themselves jobless, whilst some even lost their loved ones, relationships took a knock and staying indoors has taken its toll. All this compounded with life's everyday challenges could have a devastating impact on one's mental health.  Cheery or CheerApp is a platform designed for anyone who is either having a bad day, feeling sad or going through some stuff. Many are aware of the need to stay healthy, but oftentimes we focus on the physical, and neglect our mental health. It takes a great deal of self awareness to understand one's reality and take appropriate action to control it. So whilst some might reach out for help, the majority tends to lack an effective coping mechanism and they suffer silently alone. This affects their concentration and consequently their performance in all aspects of life. Over time, sadness, anxiety and paranoia evolves into depression, schizophrenia and a ho

20 Hip hop and RnB songs that give the best love advice

Some years back, I attended a friend's wedding. As we enjoyed the proceedings, the DJ kept us entertained with some of the sweetest music. Sometime into the proceedings, the DJ made a very critical musical blunder and ruined a perfect moment by playing the wrong song. I'm sure many didnt notice.... but I did. Guess which song he played? It was Tamia's rendition of Careless whisper. It's a beautiful song, but at that moment, it was a horrible choice. I could clearly tell he was oblivious to his mistake, but the lyrics to that song are of regret and a love gone wrong. So instead of being a celebration of love, such a song adds a whole new dimension to what is meant to be a beautiful occasion. Maybe I'm the only one, but have you noticed how most of the sweetest love songs seem to be tainted by infidelity? Not to sound righteous or anything, but the theme is always: "my partner ain't around, and you look fine" or "I'll do you better than your par

K Brizzy's top tips for aspiring artists

At a tender age, we are all taught to find and pursue our passion. This may be drawing, painting, singing or even playing a sport. As life happens however, many are forced to trade off their passion for a more corporate and steady career. Some choose to wing it, but the stories of celebrities dying broke have become fodder for journalists. This is mainly because the local entertainment industry does not often provide the lucrative incomes that guarantee a happily ever after. In instances where it does, the artists might not be as business minded as is required to match their artistic talents. It is therefore essential to approach their work as a bona fide business. This calls for meticulous planning, constant monitoring and evaluation.  THE CASHMERE SUMMER The artwork for KBRIZZY's new projects, The Cashmere Summer E.P.
