TBH, I have NOT been keeping up with any of the Love & Hip Hop franchises. I’m tired of watching ratchet TV. After a while, that negative energy can seep into your everyday life. Even though I don’t stay tuned to L&HH, I know that Yandy Smith is one of the few ladies that represents total class. […]
I’ve jammed this musical a bunch of times, so it was only right that I went to check it out when I visited New York last week. Avenue Q has a very creative outlook on what our world is like. It speaks on what the ordinary person is afraid to say. The music takes on […]
I was a little intimidated on what Red Cafe was going to be like. Often times, I meet rappers that embody an aura that’s so cold and uptight. Red Cafe was nothing like that. You can tell that he understands the business very well. He came with a dope, easy going attitude and understood that […]
This past week was a dream. I got to bring in Biggie’s Bday in his hometown state of New York! That’s a dope memory in itself. I also got to celebrate my friend PJ’s graduation from The New School of Drama (where he received his Masters Degree). Congrats, homie! I watched an off-Broadway play (Avenue […]
Waddup! It’s Amir, and I’ve been on vacation for a week and just knew that JJ would’ve have accepted someone’s prom proposal by now. J Mac & Slim Thug have been duking it out for a chance to have the Box’s Midday Queen on their arms on June 16th. 97.9’s Prom is going down at […]
I had the opportunity to meet Red Cafe over the weekend and I was really digging our convo. We talked about: loyalty, his new music, the most memorable scar on his body, how it got there and if he learned anything from it. Be on the lookout for the video to our conversation soon on […]
It’s not everyday that you get to hear the voice of a real life angel. This video by Callie Day has been floating around on social media, and there’s no question as to why. Her singing touched every part of my soul. Thank you @DankTheGreat1 for helping me find the full video. Watch Callie’s cover […]
It was a pleasure chatting it up with Kris Kelli earlier tonight. She had some pretty dope stories that she shared with me and if you missed ’em, the full convo will be up on TheBoxHouston.Com pretty soon. Her new EP “3rd World Problems” is available now. Be on the lookout for her new video […]
It’s one thing to have your support. It’s another thing when you’ve invested so much into me that you’ve learned the type of music that I like to listen to. For the past week… YOU’VE been randomly telling me about new tunes (through my Periscope broadcasts and Facebook Live Videos). I tend to doubt […]
It made me feel like I’m really touching lives when Lamarc Broussard asked to interview me for his project at MediaTech Institute. I always dreamed of being a role model to students and young people, but never imagined it would happen this fast. I’ve learned a lot from working with 97.9 The Box for the […]
Why are people sleeping on Tory Lanez? This dude sings just as great as he raps. In fact, he can rap circles around a lot of your fav artists that are on the come up. Lanez is truly A Diamond In The Rough. Check out these five songs by him and you won’t be disappointed. […]
I’ll always remember the day my mom Kandi Eastman of Majic 102.1 surprised me and brought the entire UniverSOUL Circus to my school. And I’m not just talmbout the Ringmaster and a couple of contortionists; she even brought an elephant with her!!! After that, I was the coolest kid at Will Rogers Elementary. LOL You […]
