I first became a fan and customer of Carol’s Daughter when it was a mail order business back in 1998. My wife at the time was always at natural hair care shows and we stumbled upon Carol’s Daughter at an event in Atlanta. I tried their shea butter lotion and body oil products as well as their bath products and loved them.

I would always order them since they only had opened one store up in Harlem and I was living in California. I ordered by products as soon as they started to run low. When I saw them opening up in Atlanta, I was ecstatic. Finally, I could go to the store and buy their products. Trust me when I tell you that you will never, ever be disappointed with Carol’s Daughter products from skincare to haircare and beyond.

Should You Sign 360 Artist Deals?

Since labels are not making a ton of money off of full album sales anymore, they have started to go after making money on artists performances and merchandising. Back in the day, labels primarily made the bulk of the money from selling records/cds but in the digital rights age, these sales are not as much as they used to be.

In 2009 and 2010, now everyone wants a piece of the artist money. The manager wants 360 rights and the label wants 360 rights on the artist properties. Does this even leave the artist with money? If the label and management is splitting money on live gigs, how much money is really on the table for the artist?

If you are an artist with a buzz, be careful of these 360 deals. Get a lawyer who represents you only. Make sure your performance fees are outlined clearly in your contract and the splits are clearly outlined. Do not let a lawyer fast talk you into a contract where you are making nothing on performing.

Be careful of everyone around you in the music industry. There are more money hungry people around you than people who care about your well being and making sure that you are eating, clothed, and have your house and car for the long term. Be mindful, not scared. Move cautiously and always protect your interests.

Nat King Cole And Family In Nice France

During the holiday season, one can’t help but think about the incomparable Nat King Cole singing holiday Christmas Carols. His songs make you want to roll up to the fireplace, grab a nice hot cup of eggnog, tea, or latte, and just chill and relax. My mother would be making dinner while it would be [...]

During the holiday season, one can’t help but think about the incomparable Nat King Cole singing holiday Christmas Carols. His songs make you want to roll up to the fireplace, grab a nice hot cup of eggnog, tea, or latte, and just chill and relax.

My mother would be making dinner while it would be snowing outside in Illinois. Family would be coming over and Nat King Cole would be on the phonograph. This man was and is truly the meaning of Christmas.

Tennessee Titans Vince Young Back In Starting Role

I always thought Vince Young could get back to a starting role if he got his mind right. The NFL Quarterbacking position is much more mental than it is physical. You can be a great physical specimen but if you don’t master the mental and emotional part of quarterbacking, you will not fair well. I’m [...]

I always thought Vince Young could get back to a starting role if he got his mind right. The NFL Quarterbacking position is much more mental than it is physical. You can be a great physical specimen but if you don’t master the mental and emotional part of quarterbacking, you will not fair well.

I’m glad to see Vince Young playing at his potential again. I hope he can keep it up and keep his mental clear and refined.
