Hello! I apologize for
leaving you guys high and dry without a ‘He/She’s Got That Good Good’ feature
for over a month now! Believe me when I say, the drought is over. I will be
bringing you all fashionable faces from all over the world every other Thursday,
like I used to do, from now on. Today’s feature is not only extremely well
dressed, but she is incredibly talented as well. This girl has got angels in her
throat! Her voice is absolutely stunning. Chioma is 1/3 of the brilliant music
group known as A Yellow Man. I remember the first time I heard of A Yellow Man
and watched their promo video; I was so excited by how eager they are to
glorify God’s name through their music. It is rare to find people my age who
are so on fire for Christ and are unashamed to let other people know about it. That
type of boldness is one of the most beautiful things on this planet. It is my
absolute pleasure to introduce you to..

I never
realized the degree of power behind that simple statement until recently.
Sometimes we listen to a song so many times over and over and over but it isn’t
until we reach a certain point in our lives that we can fully appreciate just
what the artist is saying. Cherish The
Day has always been one of my favorite songs by Sade, if not my favorite.
The effortless manner in which she was able to tell of this strong, burning
desire she had inside of her is astounding. She did not feel the need to use
verbose and complex love language in order to get her point across, and she
didn’t need to. Those simple 7 words she says in the beginning of this song are
more powerful, to me, than anything I have ever heard in any other love song.
Another line in this song that always sends chills up my spine is “If you were
mine, I wouldn't want to go to heaven”. I can only imagine a love that deep. Sade definitely knows what's good. I also wanted to share this video because this past Sunday marked the 10 year anniversary of September 11th and you can catch quite a couple of glimpses of the World Trade Center in the background.
I know I always say this, but I have fallen deeply in
love yet again with yet another street style blog. CURB APPEAL is a gorgeous

Have you been watching the herd?
I don’t know about you guys, but Herds of The Fathers’ latest bag preview has me speechless. This jumbo sized leather backpack has my name written all over it. I can’t wait until this new line drops! To see more of this beauty and to keep up with the latest Herds news, click here.
I just realized that I have never talked about Jesse Boykins III’s lovely mixtape ‘Way Of A Wayfarer’ and I’m sure a lot of you have already listened to it. For those of you who haven’t yet had the pleasure, click hereto listen and/or download. I really love the magically mellow sound of the 6 tracks on this EP. I’ve had it on heavy repeat this past week because school is starting to stress me out a bit! Here is my favorite track:
It is no secret that I
am a lover of hip-hop, a neo-soul junkie, and an old school R&B fiend (I
believe that basically every song I have ever posted on this blog belongs to
one of those three genres). While there is nothing wrong with loving certain
types of music more than others, one has to be open to hearing and appreciating
other types of music as well. I’m not going to lie, I am extremely, extremely picky about the music I listen
to, my friends & sisters can attest to that. However, for the past year or
so I have been making a concerted effort to open myself up to the various
wonders that the music world has to offer. In doing so, I have fallen in love
with a host of different musicians from several genres and have decided to
share a few of these finds with you all. Enjoy the music and tell me what you think!
Items of high quality & relevance; excellence. Matters that are interesting & worthy of discussion. Objects which could only be admired and appreciated by those of refined taste. A concept thats meaning has been lowered by those who use the term in less than impressive matters; however, I plan on lifting the term to newer heights. As far as I am concerned, that GOOD GOOD refers to all which is completely, genuinely, and most definitely fly. From fashion that only those drowning in style and swagger could ever understand to music that only those with a knowledge of notes & an ear for what is real can truly value & everything in between.
