It threw me for a curve ball when I saw a commercial for a Daytime Talk Show hosted by 4 men. And not just 4 men… but 4 men of color! It’s rare to see that, because usually that time slot is run by women. Now, I admit…. I thought “The Preachers” on Fox was […]
I was dreading being alone over the weekend for the 4th of July. My brain was warped with frustrations about being single (on what I consider to be one of the most romantic holidays that exist). Surprisingly, this turned out to be the best Independence Day that I’ve ever experienced. My teenage cousin wanted to […]
Iam Justified is one of the most positive dudes on the planet! I’ve had the opportunity to call him a friend for the past few years. I can honestly say that everything he raps about in his music rings true to his everyday life. Check out his new “Steady Increasin” video and then let me […]
I woke up this morning with an attitude. I felt tension in my shoulders as I wrestled with the thoughts of my father not making an effort to be in my life. I was envious toward every tweet and photo I saw of other people wishing their Dads a Happy Fathers Day. After a couple […]
A lot of people claim that I am pretty well known in our city, but I feel like I still have a long way to go. I can say that after 97.9’s Prom Night at Grooves, I feel like I’m starting to move up the ladder. Z-Ro made a surprise appearance and before I could […]
I wish the urban community would be more open to the LGBT lifestyle. It seems as though we are the last ones in America to accept it. We all have a friend or someone in our family who’s gay. It really shouldn’t be a big deal anymore. Stop talking down on others and making them […]
People keep asking me whether I’m still friends with my work wife EX-wife (Jasmine Crockett). We’re good! A couple of weeks ago she embarrassed me on social media, but I wish her well. I tried to act like her actions didn’t bother me, but let’s keep it real: I was hurt. READ the full story here. I […]
I stopped watching Love & Hip Hop, because I can’t get with all of that ratchet activity. Get The Latest Music and Entertainment News On Your Phone However, I was stoked to have Yandy Smith Harris on my show because I was aware that she represents for the classy women. I love how Yandy is […]
By now, you’ve probably heard that my Work Wife EX-Wife is the new face of deception and shadyness. I surprised her with floor seats to the Anti World Tour (starring Rihanna & Travis Scott) and asked her to attend 97.9’s Prom Night with me June 16 at Grooves of Houston (powered by Suit Mart & […]
Never judge a book (or a musical) by it’s cover/playbill. Once I saw the artwork for “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” I did not think that a woman sitting beside a piano (smiling off into the distance) would be able to grasp my attention for two hours. Boy, was I wrong! This was one of […]
Yup, it’s official: Good Guys Finish Last. I asked my work wife & Radio-One Web Editor (Jasmine Crockett) to Prom and surprised her with floor tickets to the Anti World Tour a couple of weeks ago. What does Jas do to repay me? She asks Ro James to attend the event with her… WHILE I’M […]
“Empire” hasn’t been able to hold my attention this season, but I heard that DMK killed it recently. It’s weird how I found out about them. I was in NYC and Damian Dawson (LIVE TMG) complimented me on my Chance the Rapper hoodie. We ended up talking about music and our jobs and he told me […]
