Chance The Rapper (real name- Chancelor Johnathan Bennett) has performed at the White House coming from the same city as Barack Obama and Kanye West, Chicago has become a household name and guess what...Chance The Rapper is an independent artist. His latest album, Coloring Book is streaming online through outlets, Pandora and Spotify. The brother is talented, not only does he rap but Chance produces acts, sings, writes songs and produces. In 2013, Chance gained attention dropping his second mixtape, Acid Rap. Apart from his solo career, he is also a member of the Chicago collective Save Money (along with frequent collaborator Vic Mensa), and has worked as the lead vocalist for the band The Social Experiment. They released the widely lauded album Surf in May 2015.
Fast forward to last year 2016, he released his current mixtape the Coloring Book. And impressive to his resume has been one of the fan favorites of previous US President Barack Obama getting an invitation to the White House and performing at White House Christmas Tree lighting and Obama's farewell speech in Washington, D.C. This is Bennett's third mixtape, which earned him three Grammy awards, including Best Rap Album. Coloring Book was the first streaming-only album to ever receive a Grammy nomination. And much love to Chance because he won that well deserved Grammy this year in 2017! Check out some more about Chance The Rapper here.

Recently Black superheros have been taking the stage front and center from Marvel's Netflix series Luke Cage, to the Black Panther making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Captain America: Civil War, characters created by Brian Michael Bendis like Ultimate Spider-man: Miguel Morales and Iron Heart (Riri Williams- Tony Stark's Iron Man protege), and most recently CW's Kid Flash from the Flash TV series Wally West.
The first three Black superheroes were most notably Luke Cage, Black Panther and Storm who made her debut in Giant Sized X-Men #1 in Marvel Comics and then also DC introduced their superheroes such as Black Lightening, Green Lantern Jon Stewart, Cyborg, Icon and others. Recently, Marvel has been more adventurous in shaking up the status quo of their traditional characters like a time making Sam Wilson "The Falcon" as the primary Captain America, a female Thor (longtime on and off Thor love interest Jane Foster), an Asian-Korean Hulk (one of the Incredible Hulk's buddies Amadeus Cho who is also one of Marvel's smart teen geniuses), an mixed Black and Latino Spiderman, and recently a brilliant 15 year old Black female Riri Williams as a female Iron Man known as Iron-Heart. Even Iron Man's love interest and assistant Pepper Potts has also donned some Iron Man armor. Also, even to DC Comic's credit they did also make Jimmy Olson on the CBS now CW's Supergirl to a Black man James Olson who is still Superman's best bud and also has stepped his role in the latest season of Supergirl. No spoilers so I do encourage you to check out and see about all these characters.
Coincedentally, I wasn't the only person to come up with this top as YouTube channels Comics Explained and Comicstorian have also did videos on this subject and stating their stances on this subject. Why some people may feel upset that some traditional heroes are being changed but my opinion is this is 2017 and diversity is welcomed. Other ethnicities need their heroes and heroines. For instance, not only does Marvel still have Peter Parker webslinging as Spiderman but New York is big enough to have two men- one Black and one White both equally wear the mantle of Spiderman and both have membership on the Avengers. Heroes such as Steel, Duke Thomas and Batwing don't replace superheros such as Superman, any of the previous and current Robins and Batman but they have more than enough room in the comics to work alongside them. So, my opinion is it is not so much about replacing and changing the status quo but letting us have our own heroes. There was a point in time where we didn't have this much diversity. Yes, we had few heroes such as Luke Cage, Black Panther, Storm, Black Lightning, Icon, Blade and Falcon.
Marvel's television division included diversity with Mack, Melinda May and Agent Triplett in their Marvel's Agents of Shield and female Inhuman SHIELD agent and fan favorite Sky aka Daisy Johnson. Also, CW's the Flash and Arrow introduced characters such as Wally West and Iris West who instead of being white are Black on the TV show, Mr. Terrific on Team Arrow, Firestorm, Hawkgirl and Vixen. Marvel's partnership with Netflix brought us Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. The Luke Cage series dealt with the current issues of racism and police brutality. As even rapper Method Man cameos in the series and trades hoodies with the one Luke was wearing shot up with holes as a reference to the killing of Trayvon Martin. So, overall in my opinion diversity in comic books is a welcome change in my opinion.

It is no secret that CT Fletcher is a WWE fan. Heck he stands a good chance to go toe to toe with any other the Superstars. His gym in California has been opened to anyone who wants to come to workout including the featured WWE Superstars and even A list WWE Superstar, athletes and movies stars such as John Cena and the Rock. CT Fletcher first came to our attention when we stumbled upon his videos on YouTube.
Being no stranger to the gym myself and even being paired with a personal trainer that had my arms sore for weeks when I first seen CT I thought dude was crazy. Doing bench bicep curls he commanded his arms to grow and pushed pass pain and soreness to make his arms diesel swole. In this video, we see a few current superstars workout with CT Fletcher and he even gives them a run for their money. Definitely check it out and support brother CT Fletcher at his site HERE.

What has been a game changer since 10 years ago, Steve Jobs on 10 years ago on Jan. 9, 2007. The first of its kind where the device was not only a phone but also an MP3 iPod Player and an WiFi internet capable device. New products always breeds competition which also caused companies like Samsung and many others to create their own phones and also gave way to internet search engine company Google creating their own software Android OS to work with competitors to the iPhone such as the Samsung Galaxy and HTC phones to name a few.
Recently, this past fall Apple released the iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus. And again they changed the game by eliminating the headphone jack in support of the Lightning plug connection which the current generation iPhone 7 uses for both charging and audio capabilities as well as into 2017 everyone uses Bluetooth connections for wireless audio listening. And a lot of the previous and current version of iPhone, Apple has improved the technology to make the iPhone 7 to rival the best DSLR camera. What better camera than one you can always have on your person.

On the eve of his third sneaker shoe release with his partnership with Reebok, Hip-Hop lyricist Kendrick Lamar will this month release his Club C Capsule sneakers on January, 13th. Known for his creative lyrics in his songs and albums. He's hopeful that these new sneakers will bring people together.
The low-top, grey sneakers have a pattern that reveals more and more intricacy as you look closer and, according to a press release by Lamar, that's the point.
"Now more than ever it is important for individuals to come together as one," Lamar said. "This sneaker represents that call for unity and equality, while also pushing people to look beneath the surface and uncover the hidden messages. This is something I try to do with my music, and now here with the Club C." FOR MORE CHECK OUT THE FULL ARTICLE HERE AT POPDUST
