It's been some time since we've posted content to this page, as we've been working to determine how to provide more engaging content. Given the events of the past few weeks, we have felt compelled to start with our regular posts.

On June 7, 1979, President Jimmy Carter designated June as Black Music Month. In 2009, President Barack Obama declared it African-American Music Appreciation Month.

Our goal has always been to provide uplifting messages through our favorite Hip-Hop artists, and we would like your feedback on our posts, and the type of artists you would like us to highlight. Hip-Hop music has always been a part of us, and we hope the lyrics we share will motivate, heal, inspire, and rejuvenate you during these times.

This month, let us all take time to reflect on how Black Americans have shaped American music. Happy !

 

Today's BTLB Thursday Thought comes from Gucci Mane: "Growth is a decision!"

Remember, you can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

Remember what you’re doing it all for. It’s worth this this pain, this struggle, this adversity, this sacrifice. No excuses today!!

It's the first day of November 2019, and our Friday Motivation comes from the song "Humble Mumble", off of Outkast's 'Stankonia', which was released October 31, 2000.

The highlighted bars remind us life is unpredictable, full of ups and downs and twists, like a roller coaster. However, Big Boi reminds us the trials we go through will only make us stronger. Learning to navigate the challenges of life will lead to growth and eventually your success.

"I rock the microphone like a blizzard;
I'm so cold I'm tryin' to hold ya/
Life is like a great big roller coaster,
Everything in life don't always happen like it's supposed to/
Trials and tribulations make you stronger, live longer"/
