Floyd Mayweather vs. DJ Sourmilk (Video)

The good folks over at Showtime & Heavy Hitters invited me to come hang out at Floyd Mayweather‘s training facility while he trained for his upcoming fight against Robert Guerrero on May 4th. I got a chance to ask him about his musical taste and if you’re reading this, you probably watched the video already and know what he said. Big thanks to Showtime Sports and the whole Heavy Hitters team!

#OKNotToBeOK: Big K.R.I.T. – “Music has always been my therapy” (Video)

Soul Culture sits down with Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T for our ongoing #OKNotToBeOK mental health campaign, as he speaks on music as therapy, loneliness, depression and finally making the decision to be happy.

Versetti from SoulCulture told me about a new mental health campaign that SoulCulture is involved with called #OKNotToBeOK to raise and spread awareness and support for the mental health of our generation. What a great way to introduce a taboo subject like mental health to a community that often sees emotions a form of weakness. The purpose of this campaign is to show that it is ok to not be ok. I know I just reiterated the title. But really, it is OK to not be OK and in the series of interviews that SoulCulture have started and will continue to release, you’ll see that see how common and less taboo the subject of mental health is. Everybody has gone or is going through something. and it’s OK.
