Learning the field of paranormal investigating from the very best has been humbling. Then becoming friends with him is even more surreal.  Getting to meet and know Steve Gonsalves "TAPS" from the TV show "Ghost Hunters" has been a true honor. He's as humble as it gets.

Collective Soul with special guests The Stir played in front of a packed house at Brandon City Hall Live, Brandon, Mississippi.

The opening act, The Stir were simply put, incredible. The 3 piece band out of Atlanta, Georgia, brought absolute fire. The vocalist, Andrew Evans has a unique voice and completely shreds on that six string. Their latest single "Night Shift" has hit written all over it. I personally can't speak highly enough about this band. If you can go see them DO IT!  Learn more about them HERE

What can you say about these legends?  What an honor to be live at their show and to see them up close and personal.  The band jammed in front of a slammed packed house and every person in there stood from the first song until the last song.  Vocalist Ed Roland showed exactly why this band has sold so many records and has millions of fans worldwide. His vocals and stage presence are still top notch. The band played all of their hits (there are many) and not one fan was disappointed. Collective Soul have decades of experience and have provided the fans with legendary hits. I can't see why they'll be stopping anytime in the near future ALL SYSTEMS GO for these guys. What a terrific performance.

OG Charlie Frank$$$ Talks NEW SINGLE - NEVER HAVE TO QUESTION MY LOVE

                    OG Charlie Frank$$$ drops new single ‘Never Have to Question My Love’ 

HOUSTON, TX – Music that has staying power is music that’s well put together and has substance to it. OG Charlie Frank$$$ is the kind of artist whose music will be around 100 years from now because it not only has substance and quality, but it also has a timeless quality to it that’s reminiscent of some of the legends of the industry. 

Hailing from Houston, Texas, this hip-hop artist is one of the industry’s most highly regarded trendsetters. He’s the kind of artist who takes the legendary sounds of the past and fuses them with new-wave sounds of the future to create truly original music that will still be impressing fans for years to come. He first influenced and pioneered the mid-1980s sounds of hip-hop throughout Houston, alongside other legends like Mr. Scarface and the Safoolz. In the mid1990s he introduced a new style of music he calls “screw music” or “slab music,” collaborating 
with the iconic DJ Screw. And by the 2000s he was taking those sounds and melding them with his own unique style to create a fad that swept the nation through his work alongside Sauce Walka and Sancho Sauce.  


Following those decades of success, OG Charlie Frank$$$ is ready to release his newest project – a 15-track EP he’s calling “The OG.” It’s a project that will talk about his experiences with life and the game, his time on the streets and even some of the politics of the world. Of course the project reflects his unique perspective on life while dealing with the realities of the world in ways that anyone can relate with. 

“The thing that sets me apart is my perspective,” he said. “I have a distinct perspective about life. From my experience from the streets I have a different insight about things that a lot of other artists couldn’t talk about. A lot of my songs are stories from my life, but sometimes I’ll just dibble and dabble and do stuff for fun. But mostly I’m talking about life. And that’s because I want my music to be known for its authenticity and real-ness. I want my music to have a shelflife where 100 years from now you can pick up my album and feel that experience all over again. That’s what I love about ‘70s music – you can pick up anything from that era and it still makes you feel the same way.” 

The first single of OG Charlie Frank$$$’s new EP is a song called “Never Have to Question My Love.” The song features a sample from a Biggie song. OG said he took a Biggie riff and put a little “Southern flavor over it.” Ultimately the song is about infidelity and the stuff people go through in a relationship to prove their love, even when they mess up sometimes. The overall vibe of the single has a ‘90s swing to it, and OG said it’s just some “feel-good, throw-back music.”  

In addition to his new music, OG Charlie Frank$$$ has a record label under Street Playa Entertainment with his Greatest Hits CD coming out very soon, something for fans to look out for. He also has a clothing line called Strydgees – which means “warrior spirit.”

ARTIST BIO BELOW

London-born singer/songwriter Joanna goes deep with new EP, single 

LOS ANGELES, CA – Joanna is a British-born singer and songwriter from South London who made a splash across the pond with an independent album about 10 years ago, and who is just now returning to her music roots. She spent the last decade working her way into the business side of the entertainment industry – specifically in TV & Film. But late last year, after the end of a relationship, she decided to express her feelings through music and through that process rediscovered a passion that she had long buried.

“I released an EP called ‘Deeper’ back in December just as a first step back into music,” Joanna said. “It was heartbreak that made me start writing again, and it really started with just writing poetry, which led to writing songs. And Once I started recording I realized it was still in me and it’s what I want. It was an accident, really, but it was the best accident ever. Over the last year I’ve learned there are no mistakes – everything we go through in life is actually meant to be.”

Having seen some modest success with the “Deeper” EP, Joanna is now ready to follow that up with a new EP called “When I’m Drunk.” It’s a project that features mostly smooth, sultry songs – the kind of music that someone might play in the bedroom. All of the songs are about the things that it’s hard to say no to after you’ve had a few drinks. The first single off the EP is a song called “Forever Your Lady.”

“It’s a pop song that’s about being in a loving relationship and knowing this is your person,” Joanna said. “It’s about how grateful you are to have them in your life and how great that feels.
We just shot a music video for it, too, that’s a little more sinister than the song really is, because as the video goes on you realize I’m ‘Forever His Lady’ because I won’t ever let him leave. Overall it’s just a great song for the summer and I think people will love it.”

Joanna describes herself as an “eclectic” artist whose foundation is found in R&B and Soul. But though those are the genres she was raised on, she loves all forms of music – from Reggae to Brit Pop and everything in between – all of which find their way into her music in one shape or another.

“Mostly I want people to be able to relax when they hear my music,” she said. “I want them to relate and feel that vulnerability of humanity when we really allow others in and really show who we are. They can feel that in my music, and then they can feel that they can do that in their lives.”

A Q&A WITH FOX NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KEVIN CORKE

http://bradcooney.com/index.php/podcasts/571-fox-news-white-house-correspondent-kevin-corke-q-a

I like to keep things, as FOX News says, "FAIR AND BALANCED".  African American conservatives are on the rise in this country. It's good to see this.  Love or hate President Trump, he's got the African American and the Hispanic unemployment numbers down to record lows. This has done more for minorities than the last 5 Democrat President combined. Have a listen to this podcast and it'll be fairly easy to hear and see what side of the aisle Kevin leans. Contrary to what the liberal, biased, media will tell you, being an African American or a minority doesn't mean that by default they vote Democrat. Enjoy the Podcast.

ARTIST BIO BELOW

MANi$H announces himself to the world with new single ‘Ain’t Playin’

LOS ANGELES, CA – A new sound out of Southern California is here from artist MANi$H, and his unique sound and style is one that cannot be ignored. His new single, “Ain’t Playin,” is an announcement to the world that he’s here to stay and his brand of music is legitimate. With a flow reminiscent of Ice Cube or Busta Rhymes, MANi$H rails against the haters while declaring to the world that he’s going to deliver a high-quality sound that will not be pushed to the side. He’s bringing it hard with this single, and anyone who isn’t ready for the real deal should prepare themselves because MANi$H “Ain’t Playin.”

MANi$H said his music is inspired from growing up in a single-parent household by a very young mother who attempted to provide the best ways she knew how. His music is about providing a mannish perspective of all of life’s opportunities by pushing forward. MANi$H was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in a variety of places along the West Coast – from Southern California to Alaska. In addition to his single mother, the streets became his teacher – and he spent time in youth detention centers and foster homes, where he learned how to hustle his way out of situations and catapult himself beyond his inflicted environments. Along the way he developed a passion for music, and has maintained a focus and determination to be the change he wants to see. Today he lives as a coach, teacher and mentor to those he surrounds himself with.

“My stage name has a two-fold meaning,” he said. “I have a real aggressive and mannish delivery and perspective, but my niche is to keep people on point and help them appreciate that we can’t allow ourselves to slip. We’ve got to stay on our toes at all times, staying on our ‘man shit.’ That’s the consistent message throughout my music. It’s a reminder to understand that you’re going to encounter things in life that will cause you adversity, but if you remain unwavering and maintain your composure and self-dignity then you will always be a man first.”

MANi$H has a unique sound and delivery that is easy for fans to understand. He enunciates his words in ways that cut through to the core and challenge listeners to sit up and pay attention. Anyone who listens to his new album will be able to have a solid understanding of what he’s talking about, even when he uses metaphors to paint pictures of his deeper ideas. And those ideas are in-your-face and to the point, because MANi$H isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind. Even when he changes up his wordplay and messes with syllables, his message is very consistent. Combine that with modern beats and a diverse sound, and his new album is sure to have people begging for more.

“Ain’t Playin” is currently available for download on all digital distribution sites. He plans to follow that up with an album called “MAN-i$H,” slated to be released on Oct. 6.
