Review: The Definition of Good Music

-

This is a pure, mature and honest album; Artea’s voice makes you take notice. The Definition of Good Music is a beautiful journey that you don’t want to end. The overall sound is reminiscent of 90’s R&B. It’s a very chill type album and I am certain that women everywhere will enjoy Artea’s buttery smooth vocals. The songs are solid as well as believable and I’m certain that the fellas are sure to enjoy this album too.

Stand out tracks include “You Don’t Know”, which gives an intimate peek into the love experience. (Vacation on the beach/ Making love on the beach/ You are so amazing/ You don’t know how much I need you/ You don’t know how much I love you) But “Nothing to Me” captures a real moment about confronting your emotions in a relationship that is in the process of ending and forces you to realize the truth that it might be over. (Now I got a problem with my girl/ She ain’t trusting me/ She ain’t trusting me/Every chance that she get she going through my ish/ There’s no privacy, no privacy) But it’s clear that the love was able to conquer all and it all begins to settle in Paradise. (Blue skies in her eyes/ I guess I’m living in paradise/ Sunshine coming from her smile/ I’m living in paradise.)

The authenticity of The Definition of Good Music is not easily matched in today’s industry. The vocals as well as the raps by Heartbeatz hit all the right spots. I generally don’t like the fusion of hip-hop and R&B, but you can tell that the rap segments were not added to the songs as a second thought; they were carefully and artfully integrated into the album. The Definition of Good Music is real and relatable. This project is a mature representation of Artea Chilton; it is a great production with a wonderful vocal delivery.

    Is this the same guy that used to be in the group 4Gotten4? He's had grown by leaps and bounds. His music is so mature and to the point. I love it and I'm glad to have someone from L'town repping with some class. This young man is going to go far. Please don't give up on your dreams, you have the skills, and good looks to make it in this business. Go head Mr. Panty-dropper, I ain't mad at cha.

    We played this CD over and over last night. We were playing cards and drinking some wine. I have never heard a CD that I listed to from start to finish. It's good. I hope Artea is practicing his autograph because he's gonna have a lot of fans. You're on the path to greatness.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-

I called this post the pills and potions edition because after looking at the budget that was presented; it's obvious this board is overdosing on something. I can't tell where any real cuts were made to the budget; it seems the same. The fact that the board paid Richard Rose $1, 600 to prepare this budget is a joke. Why do we have a city clerk if she cannot prepare a budget? What is she doing all day other than reading the Lumberton Informer or thinking of her next lie? The board claimed that Richard Rose was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, that he knew the City of Lumberton was not in a position to pay him. So, rather than charging the normal going rate for an embattled city manager that was allegedly terminated for not reporting to work and other matters; Rose decided he will charge the fiscally challenged City of Lumberton a mere $1,600 and a motorcycle. Now, keep in mind, the board never voted to hire Richard Rose but somehow, he received a check and a moto

Stealing Elections: Lumberton Style

Last night when I went to the Ben Barrett Voting Center to watch the counting of the vote, I entered the building about 10 minutes before the polls closed and the picture above is what I saw. Throughout the day, many people expressed their concerns that the poll workers didn't match the demographics of the City of Lumberton. I shrugged it off after someone texted me, assuring me that the election was going to be fair. Well, that was not the case. Later in the day, a voter came to me with evidence that the votes had been compromised. They gave me two torn affidavit ballots that were torn up and thrown in the trash in the women's restroom at the voting center. Interesting. There was another person that came to me about the conversation they overheard between Cora Rogers and her mother, Voncile Richardson. It seems that Ms. Voncile wanted to cast a vote for me but her daughter, Cora Rogers, instructed her to mark the ballot for Kent Crider. Interesting. Last

Kim Rogers: A Phenomenal Woman

I've always said that I don't offer balance throughout this blog. It seems that most of the focus is placed on the bad things or more gossipy topics, but I think today is a good day to give credit where credit is due. I know she don't do what she do for attention or accolades but I would like to tip my hat to Mrs. Kim Rogers, founder of the KeKe B Foundation. Kim, like many other women of our community, is a testament to the power of hop, courage and resilience of a loving mother. I don't know how she does it but she has chosen to take a stand when others would have buckled under pressure. Her dedication and courage has touched so many people in so many ways. The work she's doing through the KeKe B Foundation will be a beacon for many generations to come and the she many never realize the impact her courage has made in the lives of others. But despite it all, she is still pressing forward. Kim does not want another parent to experience what she had to experience
