Drake OVO-Nike sneaker collaboration in the works

Drake is said to be launching his collaboration with Nike in 2021. Drake has already worked together with Nike. The brand used Drake’s owl logo for a limited edition of Air Jordan products such as shoes, sweats and special Air Jordan 4, that celebrated the Toronto Raptors becoming champions. There are already mockups on the internet and the rumor is that Drake and Nike might be releasing Air Force 1 and OVO. His other collaborations with Nike include a gold color pair of Jordan 3s that he wore at the 2014 OVO Fest and Jordan 3s that he is wearing in the music video of Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda. Drake has his own clothing brand and also often works together with other designers, such as Roots, Takashi Murakami, Dsquared2. Other footwear brands that he is collaborating with are Clarks and Timberland.

Fans are waiting for private shows

The music industry, like almost all the other industries, took a big blow when the events were canceled all over the world because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drake canceled all of his performances for 2020. Some singers are planning their return to the stage for 2021 and the fans of Drake hope that they will soon have information about his concert plans for 2021 too. “Dark Lane Demo Tapes” Drake’s new album was a huge hit and made it to the top of all charts in Canada and the United States. The fans would love to hear those new songs from the album. The majority of the countries already entered phase one of reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic, so restaurants, bars, and casinos are allowed to accommodate a small number of guests. Reportedly, casinos and clubs will be the first to organize spaces for the singers to perform. Drake might appear on VIP shows in Casinos and perform there for a small number of guests. These types of shows are popular because casinos allow guests to enjoy table games as well as best online casino games. Poker tables, roulettes, slot machines, even sports betting will be at the disposal of the audience. Some parties might even have a very strict dress code. The themes can vary from classic nights to particular movie themes. For instance, during the classic nights, the guests would be asked to wear tuxedos and gowns and for other nights they might be required to wear a Star Wars-themed outfit.

Drake New Album Rumors: DJ Akademiks Shares Major Hints

Drake might have canceled the concerts for 2020 but he did not go on vacation. He is rumored to be releasing his sixth studio album this summer. The gossip about this has been happening for months now. As the summer came, the fans started to wonder when they would get an official announcement about it. This week DJ Akademiks shared that he knows about the plans of Drake on the new album. He did not confirm or deny anything but Drake’s sixth album would be a big deal. DJ Akademiks wrote that his source said that YouTube’s divisions Pandora and SiriusXM are about to finalize a deal for Drake’s sixth studio album. The message said that Drake might be performing songs from his previous albums for thirty minutes and then in a fifteen-minute address share the information about the new album. The plan is for the events to take place from July 2nd to August. Nobody on Drake’s team has confirmed anything yet. The fans hope that with so many concerts delayed, Drake would actually find time to surprise them with his new songs. With so many songs from Dark Lane Demo Tapes and his rumored 6th album, 2021 would be the year of a big return for Drake.

Based in Colorado but nourished by the elixir of Louisiana music, blues rockers Johnny & The Mongrels will release both the music and the video for “Louisiana Girl,” the second single from their upcoming album CREOLE SKIES, today. The full album drops July 17.

“Louisiana Girl’ was inspired by the countless moments I was immersed in the culture, atmosphere and energy that is Louisiana,” says Ryan, who spent much of 1987 through 1990 living in the state. “The people are always living in the now, wanting nothing more than to make the best of every moment and make sure you’re always invited to come along for the ride. And specifically, it’s a tribute to the ladies of Louisiana and that spirit they eternally display.”

The Health Effects of Playing Bingo

Leave a reply

Bingo has come a long way since its inception, particularly with regards to the way the game is played in modern society.

Although bingo has its roots back in the 1500s, it wasn’t until the 20th century that it truly crossed over into mainstream consciousness.

It became popular in the United Kingdom during the 1950s, most notably amongst the working classes in northern towns and cities.

Bingo suffered a decline in popularity towards the end of the last century, but the creation of the internet sparked a resurgence that has continued up to the present day. Not to mention that people can easily claim a bonus on most sites.

A little-known fact about bingo is that it also has numerous health benefits, so read on as we take a look at why this is the case.

Bingo is an Inclusive Activity

Whether you play at a land-based venue or online bingo on the internet, bingo is a game that be enjoyed by everyone.

It is really easy to learn and doesn’t require much in the way of skill – just buy some cards and hope that your luck is in.

Although previously thought to be the sole preserve of the working classes, modern bingo is a thoroughly inclusive activity.

Players can enjoy bingo regardless of which societal group you may align yourself with, making it one of the best forms of entertainment.

Bingo Stimulates the Brain

Studies have shown that bingo helps to reinforce key skills such as concentration and memory – a factor that is tremendously useful for people of all ages.

It can improve both hand-eye coordination and reflexes as you strive to mark off the numbers on your card as they are called.

Maintaining an active brain is hugely important as people grow older and bingo provides a non-challenging way to achieve that.

Whereas some games like chess can be difficult to get to grips with, the simplicity of bingo is the key to its enduring popularity.

Seniors and Bingo

Maintaining good cognitive abilities is important for everyone, but it is a particularly pertinent point amongst older people.

In addition to the previously mentioned boosts for concentration and memory, research has also shown that playing games can help stave off the onset of dementia.

Bingo can be adapted to help in this respect, with larger cards, brighter colours and playing in smaller groups amongst the ways that it can be modified.

The health benefits of bingo for seniors should not be underestimated and highlights why it used to improve their quality of life.

Bingo Improves Health & Wellbeing

Bingo not only boosts cognitive abilities, but it also has the power to improve a person’s emotional and physical health.

Regardless of where you play the game, bingo has a social element attached to that means you can interact with other people.

It’s a great way to spend time with family, meet-up with existing friends or even forge new friendships with like-minded individuals.

Maintaining strong social connections has been proven to help people of all ages live more fulfilling lives, further showcasing bingo’s positive health attributes.

Bingo & Health in the Future

The future of bingo looks to be in safe hands, with a new generation of people latching onto the many benefits the game has to offer.

Innovative events like Bongo’s Bingo, Reggae Bingo and Dab & Drag Bingo are helping to attract an entirely different demographic to the game.

All of the points relating to inclusivity, cognitive benefits and improvements to health & wellbeing still apply, with the ‘fun’ element to these new versions clear for everyone to see.

Whether played in person or online, bingo looks well placed to continue being beneficial to health for many years to come.

A New Day For Kentucky Derby

Leave a reply

The Kentucky Derby is the Run For The Roses. It’s about mint juleps, gloriously-oversized hats and singing My Old Kentucky Home.

It’s known as the fastest two minutes in sports.

And it’s always held the first Saturday in May, contested in front of the famous twin spires at Churchill Downs in Louisville.

Well, almost always.

Among the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic is the Kentucky Derby’s status as the launching pad to Triple Crown glory in thoroughbred horse racing. When racing in the state of Kentucky was put on hiatus during the coronavirus lockdown, among the events shelved was the Derby.

Instead, the Kentucky Derby will now be contested on Sept. 5 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, as the entire Triple Crown order was juggled and reorganized. This year, it was the Belmont Stakes, normally the third jewel in the Triple Crown, that set the stage. The Belmont moved from June 6 to June 20.

The Derby will serve as the middle leg in this triumvirate of races to determine the legacy of the world’s best three-year-old thoroughbreds. The Preakness Stakes, normally a mid-May race and the second leg of the Triple Crown, could potentially crown a Triple Crown winner for the first time ever when it completes the 2020 Triple Crown circuit at Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore on Oct. 3.

It’s just the second time in history that the Derby was rescheduled. In 1945, the Derby was moved from May 5 to June 9 due to World War II.

A Different Challenge

The Triple Crown is considered the most daunting quest in horse racing, and since just 13 horses have managed to win all three of its races, certainly the mark of a true champion.

Normally a rugged five-week grind, this year’s Triple Crown is requiring an entirely different approach for those who condition the world’s best three year olds.

“Would have preferred the traditional Triple Crown but we are all just trying to get through this,” two-time Triple Crown-winning trainer Bob Baffert told Sports Illustrated. “Glad they didn’t cancel them. It will still be very exciting races and probably tougher because of the time between races.”

Interesting that Baffert, who’s sent out Triple Crown winners American Pharoah (2015) and Justify (2018), finds the longer time frame between races to be a more difficult challenge but there’s good reason for that.

At the age of three, a racehorse is still physically maturing. Just like kids, some get there earlier in the year, while others are late bloomers. The horse that finished up the track in June at the Belmont, or was in fact not yet ready for prime time, could be in prime condition when the Preakness rolls around in October.

As well, champion race horses tend to operate like world-class race cars. They can go out of tune very easily and lose their winning edge in the blink of an eye.

Rule Of Law

Tiz The Law was established as the horse to beat and the only one left with a shot at the Triple crown off his impressive victory in the Belmont at Belmont Park. Across the board in the current Kentucky Derby Vegas odds, the Barclay Tagg trainee owned by the Sackatoga Stable is listed as the 5-2 favorite. The same trainer-owner tandem teamed up to win the 2013 Derby with Funny Cide.

Eleven weeks is a long stretch between races, though. A lot can happen in such a lengthy passage of time. Tiz The Law is expected to tune up for the Derby by competing in the $1 million Travers Stakes for three year olds on Aug. 8 at Saratoga Race Course. Interestingly, only Whirlaway (1941) has ever been able to win both the Triple Crown and the Travers Stakes.

Another contender to keep an eye on is Santa Anita Derby winner Honor A.P. The John Shirreffs trainee is at 5-1 in the Kentucky Derby Future Wager. Shirreffs sent out 2005 Derby victor Giacomo at odds of 50-1.

Perennial contender Baffert, who’s won the Derby on five occasions, has four contenders listed among the Derby future book. A name to keep an eye on could be Uncle Chuck (20-1). He posted a four-length victory for Baffert in Saturday’s $150,000 Los Alamitos Derby.

You Can Leave Your Hat On

While the Belmont was contested without spectators, the Derby remains hopeful that its annual festival of outlandish headgear will continue unabated. However, the race that normally draws an attendance in excess of 100,000 will be conducted under strict guidelines to limit crowd density due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Following consultation with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and state and local health officials, Churchill Downs has agreed to reduce the capacity permitted in general admission, outdoor reserved seating, premium dining and the track’s suites. Those in attendance will be strongly encouraged to wear masks, practice social distancing and to wash and sanitize their hands frequently.

The Kentucky Derby is one of those events on every hardcore sports fan’s bucket list, though. These restrictions have served to drive up ticket prices in the secondary market. Currently, the average price for Derby tickets is a reported $1,423 according to Ticket IQ.

Improving Life Quality with CBD

Leave a reply

There are many different things that contribute to our quality of life, and sometimes you may find that your life quality starts to wane as a result of these things. For instance, things such as not getting enough sleep, being in pain, or always feeling low can all have a negative impact on your quality of life. They can also affect key aspects of your life such as your focus, your work, relationships, and health among other things.

The good news is that there are solutions that can help with these problems, and this includes the use of CBD products. CBD has gained a lot of positive press and popularity over recent years, and changes in legislation have made these products even more accessible. You can also choose from many different products to suit your needs such as CBD oil or CBD edibles. Many people take CBD because it makes a stark difference to their life quality, and in this article, we will look at how CBD does this.

Improvements You Can Look Forward To

One of the reasons CBD has become so popular is because it can improve your quality of life in so many ways. Some of the ways in which it can help to achieve better life quality are:

Improving Your Sleep

One of the things that CBD can help with is improving your sleep, and this in turn can then improve your health and quality of life. Lack of sleep can have a huge negative impact on your life, so you need to get the right amount of sleep on a regular basis. By increasing serotonin levels, CBD can help to regular your sleep patterns, which means you can look forward to plenty of rest to recharge your body and mind.

Dealing with Pain and Inflammation

Many people take CBD oil for pain, as it has been proven to be an excellent painkiller as well as a very effective anti-inflammatory. Many believe that it could become a big player in the future of painkillers, and many have found it to be hugely effective. So, if you have problems with pain and inflammation due to injuries or health conditions, this could prove highly beneficial. Reducing pain and inflammation will help to boost your quality of life considerably.

Helping You to Relax

When you find it hard to switch off and relax, it can leave you feeling really stressed and uptight. This can then impact your general health and your mental wellbeing. CBD is a great way to help you to unwind and relax, which can then benefit your overall wellbeing and improve your quality of life as a result.

Boosting Your Mood

We all feel low from time to time, but some more often than others. If you fall into the latter group, it can really affect your life. However, CBD can boost serotonin levels, which can then boost your mood. This then has a positive impact on your life quality.

These are some of the ways in which CBD can help to improve your quality of life.

BRONSON – DAWN

BRONSON Release New Emotive Single “DAWN”

Featuring Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Following Debut Singles “HEART ATTACK (feat. lau.ra)” and “VAULTS”

All to Appear on Their Self-Titled Album Out August 7

Via Foreign Family Collective and Ninja Tune

Listen to “DAWN (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)”

Following widespread acclaim for their new joint project BRONSON, GRAMMY-nominated duo Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight of ODESZA, and ARIA-platinum selling Australian producer Tom Stell of Golden Features, today released their next single, “DAWN (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs).” Paired with sweepingly cinematic production, the British producer’s celestial vocals evoke a renewed sense of hope and purpose, inspiring a near-spiritual experience upon first listen. A revelatory moment, “DAWN” appears as the final track on BRONSON’s self-titled debut album, due out in full August 7 on Foreign Family Collective and Ninja Tune.

Listen to “DAWN (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)” here.

BRONSON share how “DAWN” came together: “Creatively, we respect Orlando (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs) so much. When we started the writing process for “DAWN”, it was with the intent to fill in the gap of what was missing on the record. We came to him with an initial idea for the track, and in turn, he listened to parts of the record, made sense of its themes both sonically and conceptually and started to write over what became what “DAWN” is now. Not only do the lyrics provide this renewed sense of hope, but his vocals compliment the tone and energy of the song perfectly – “DAWN” is a song meant to take you on a journey and explore various concepts and emotions of the record. We couldn’t think of a more fitting song to end the album with.”

Debuted earlier this year, BRONSON formed out of the personal connection that Mills and Knight shared with Stell, fueled by a calling to pursue new creative frontiers beyond their respective projects. After three years of trading sounds across time zones and continents, the product of those collective efforts culminated in 2018 when the trio spent a week in the remote reaches of Berry, Australia, recording what would later become their first album. The project strikes a beautiful balance between intense, emotive instrumentals and cathartic, melodic vocal tracks. In addition to Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and lau.ra, Gallant lends his voice to the album as a guest feature.

Further exploring their underground sensibilities, BRONSON’s self-titled debut album arrives August 7 via Foreign Family Collective and Ninja Tune. It is available now to pre-order and pre-save digitally. Pre-order the physical LP at the official BRONSON store.

Bridging the GAP

Leave a reply

By Armon Hayes × Emily Bunn

Hip-hop icon and culture curator Kanye West announces his 10 year collaboration yesterday with America’s sweetheart brand GAP. Identified as the #WestDayEver, Kanye’s tweet comes as a major displacement in the fashion industry which no one expected. A media frenzy reminiscent of Beyoncé’s Adidas × Ivy Park collaboration as well as Rihanna x Puma is verified for lines of anticipation forming now set to release 2021.

Offerings include men, women, children and possibly home. It’s premature to speculate on design details; however, fans can assume chique yet simple urban duds shared by both Yeezy and the GAP. The household name established in 1969 proves its resilience and continues to reinvent itself. At a time where diversity and equality is at the cutting edge of pop culture, the GAP boardroom is no stranger to utilizing their voice for justice.

According to CNN, on the day of the announcement GAP’s stocks have significantly increased.

Today, Kanye dropped the first piece of merchandise from the collaboration: the Yeezy “Round Jacket.” The cobalt blue puffer jacket was revealed on Gap’s Instagram when they posted a caption-less, silent video showcasing the garment.

The jacket is also being highlighted in various locations across Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago. At four separate locations in all three cities, floating projections of the jacket are displayed.

Shoppers can pre-order the stylish jacket for fall HERE. Currently, the garment is sold out on GAP’s website, and is only available to customers in the US.

Further, today marks Kanye‘s 44th birthday! Surely, the successful release of the Yeezy “Round Jacket” is a birthday gift for both Kanye and his fans.

MARSHMELLO × HALSEY

Leave a reply

Marshmello and Halsey shared the official video for their hit single, “Be Kind.” Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, who also helmed Halsey’s “Nightmare” and “Alone” clips, the contemporary dance video takes viewers to three distinct worlds. View the video, which received a YouTube premiere earlier today, HERE. Filming a dance video during quarantine presented challenges, but Halsey learned the choreography on Facetime and did her own makeup, as always.

“Be Kind” is a worldwide hit across the boards – on playlists (with both artists appearing most recently on the cover of Apple Music’s “Today’s Hits”), at radio, on Shazam and elsewhere. Since its release last month, the song has amassed more than 175 million combined global streams. Get “Be Kind” at http://bekindxx.com/. The Jacques Lu Cont remix was released yesterday and can be heard HERE. Surf Mesa, fresh off his global hit “ily (i love you baby)” feat. Emilee, has also remixed “Be Kind.” Listen HERE.

“Be Kind” is the latest song offered from Marshmello, who is coming off a strong 2019 with 6x Platinum “Happier” with Bastille – also released by Astralwerks – plus 4x Platinum “Silence” with Khalid.

Halsey kicked off 2020 with the release of her new album, Manic, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Current Albums chart and has been certified Platinum in numerous countries, including the U.S. It contains the 7x Platinum “Without Me” – the most-played song of 2019 at U.S. radio and the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit by a female artist of this century – and the Platinum hits “Graveyard” and “You Should Be Sad.”
