Author: 7th Sign

I'm an author who has written four poetry books, Blurred Vision, Hindsight 20/20, Honesty Box and most recently, Stingrays. I released my first novel, Fortune Cookie, in 2015 and I'm finalizing the follow up, called No Cream In The Middle, for a July 2017 release. I enjoy helping other writers reach their goals, which inspired me to launch my own publishing company, 7th Sign Publishing.

Childish Gambino Preps For A Hot ‘Summer’

These days, you have to be living under a rock to not know who Childish Gambino is. Whether it’s from his Grammy Award winning single, “Redbone” from the album, Awaken, My Love! or his appearance as an actor (under his real name, Donald Glover) in Solo, or his hit show, Atlanta, his presence is everywhere.

“All this sauce so yummy,” Ciara sings on her new single, “Level Up”. She’s back with plenty of that sauce on the new track from her upcoming seventh studio album.

Mary J. Blige has recently had some of the biggest moments of her career. She released her critically acclaimed studio album, Strength of A Woman.

Iggy Azalea: No Kream In Tokyo

Iggy Azalea owned the summer of 2014. Her Clueless inspired music video for “Fancy” was an instant fan favorite that revisited one of the most vibrant eras of the 90s. The song quickly reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. She had the endorsement of T.I., one of rap’s most respected […]

Ro James Blows Some Hot ‘Smoke’

Ro James’s debut studio LP, ELDORADO, was one of my favorite R&B albums of 2016. His raspy (and at times falsetto) tenor is kin to the early days of Prince. I have been waiting on him to drop some new music. This year, he decided to break his nearly two year studio silence. Ro James’s […]

Thank You For Seven Years Of Support

The Fourth of July is always a reflective time of year for me. Of course, it’s Independence Day. However, it’s also the day (now, seven years ago) I launched the website that you’re reading this blog from. Any entrepreneur or blogger knows that it’s not easy handling your own business, even if it’s just a […]

The SoCo Texas Ginger Peach

I haven’t posted a Thirsty Thursday drink in a while. However, the drink that I tried this week was definitely worth talking about. I go to a local market in the Dallas area almost every Sunday. They have everything from drinks, tacos, breads, salsas and fresh vegetables. This past Sunday, there was a new vendor, […]

Jessie J: A New R.O.S.E. On The Horizon

I’ve always been a fan of Jessie J’s voice. She’s sultry, sexy and boisterous, without being too over the top. I kept waiting for her and her ex boyfriend, Luke James, to do some songs together. However, she has since moved on from that relationship. What happened? The singer has stated that she felt Luke […]

Luke James Returns With ‘These Arms’
