Singing groups used to be a staple in R&B music. Blends of voices and personalities were plentiful and abundant. Now, they still exist but are far more rare.

For Day 14 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share a jam (or two, or three) from your favorite R&B group(s) of any era.

The nail art on rednote.
My god. I don't do my nails this way. I work with my hands and my nails are a crime scene but I love to see creative nail art. Rednote is nail art nirvana.

I'm glad the creators there are getting some extra love and I hope orders cos those press ones are next level.

I've stopped distracting myself with general online gist. It's endless. Biz won't run itself. Look, read or listen to catch the drift and move...
There is so much to do and so little time. So much to do also includes simply enjoying myself and breathing.

Listened to and watched murdergram Deux again... LL Cool J ft Eminem.
The energy and the skill and the confidence and the homage and the presence.
