It is my immense pleasure, honor, and low-key-four-year-reason-for-being to present to you Rolling Stone’s FIRST Black African solo cover star, Rema. We went deep on his lore, dating, the Afrobeats β€œBig Three,” and remembering why you started. rollingstone.com/music/music…

Prisons have phased out all physical mail, newsletters, and books from being able to enter the prison system. If you think things are getting a little too Orwellian for your taste in society at-large, prisons are the testing ground. scalawagmagazine.org/2026/08…

For Issue No. 11, the culture journalist @Mankaprr traveled to Greenville, S.C. to interview the R&B artist Isaia Huron. But what should have been a straightforward conversation became a bigger story about the the post-Me-Too-era manosphere. hammerandhope.org/article/is…

IS THIS WHAT R&B SOUNDS LIKE WHEN YOU DON’T RESPECT WOMEN? [this alone made me sit up straight] An emerging artist sings to an anti-intellectual misogyny growing common among men. by: @Mankaprr
