Young Reminisce



The nice weather today, and the children in the hospital today, had me reminiscing about when I was a little kid. When life was less stressful, and everything seemed fun. I came across a few pictures I had found of me when I was younger. Some at one of my birthday parties, in Cabo Verde, etc. I love looking at old photos because they bring back and capture so many great memories. They also remind me of what a great childhood I had, and I hope one day when I have children, that I can give them a great childhood too..."Forever Young"

Young , and Fashionably Fly (Daniel "Diggy" Simmons)



Daniel "Diggy" Simmons , son of Hip Hop's greatest, Rev Run, is on his grind. With a new mixtape, clothing and shoe line coming out shortly, it’s hard to believe this young entrepreneur is still only 14 years old. Diggy, alongside of two friends founded "Young Crafters," a soon to be clothing line. I am a big fan of the entire Simmons family, and so is my nephew. He looks up to Diggy and , I think Diggy is doing a great job of showing young teens that they can put their minds to whatever they want to achieve, and that age is certaintly not an issue. Keep up to good work!

Solange-"Under Construction" (New Song)


http://soundcloud.com/pinboardblog/under-construction-www-pinboardblog-com
I first fell in love with Solange's music when "I Decided" came out, and now with a new label, and new sound, her songs are getting better and better. This is her newest, which she recently posted on her twitter. It won't be on the new album, but it's a dope track. It's called "Under Construction."
