#KOSIGN! New Music! Brik.Liam and Chantae Cann in the same day!!!! Whewww!

Hey guys! Surprise! Lol, no I know it's been a very long time. Ya girl's been going through some things that have some of my projects on hold. I've decided to blog a lot less.. but I'll be here for sure...especially for days like today! 

#KOSIGN: The Game Needs @RyanDestiny

I've been holding this post in for quite some time, so bear with me. I think I was waiting on some solo music to really go in on here about this baby, but last night's BET Awards is forcing my hand. If you don't know  the face above, her name is Ryan Destiny. Striking right? I know. I #KOSIGNed her on IG a while ago, but have been waiting to post here. I had fully prepared myself to do some extensive post on how much of a quadruple threat this girl is, but a greater and more important reality has emerged-so we'll hold that. As for her talent-just google her..or connect on any of her poppin social media accounts. The short of the long is, we have a real singer's singer (I mean.. baby sings DOWN-raw talent), a beauty that might just make people uncomfortable in a room, major acting chops, and a dancer- like she does it for a living.

Inspiration: Travis Greene - Made A Way

There are songs that speak so much to me that I can barely listen to them for crying. This is one of them. Made a Way is a declaration with anticipation. Sometimes life throws us for a loop.. actually this happens more often than sometimes if we're honest. This particular song is the testimony of gospel singer Travis Greene released on his second album, The Hill back in 2015. Even though it speaks to a trying, but miraculous moment in his life, we can all relate.

#KOSIGN: Get into @BahjaRodriguez's Latest Jam "Necessary"

 @BahjaRodriguez is baaaack again killing the game with her sweet and sultry vibe. Yall, I must admit I waited for this one. Since hearing a snippet of the song on Instagram the other day I just knew Bahja was pushing through with a JAM. Not only is the hook to this song all sorts of addicting, the message is also relevant to the vibe in this city. With Necessary, Bahja is proving once again that she has the pen, vocals, and most important the know how to be a real star in this game.

Reminder for the Entrepreneurs, Dreamers, Doers, Feelers, Lovers...You!

How can you lose your song..

When you have sung it for so long?

How can you forget your dance, your dance..

When that dance is all you ever had?

It must be, it must be true

You can't separate the two..

Oh no, you can't

It's impossible to do..

Just like the salt in the stew

Oh my, it's all a part of you..

One thing that life cannot do

It can't take your song from you

So when life brings a chance, a chance

For you to give your part, to give your part away

Don't just stand there feeling scared

Don't be afraid

'Cause there could be a treasure right there

Now listen, listen to THE truth

It does not matter, doesn't matter what you do

Still gonna be you

Just like the salt in the stew

Yeah, it's all A part of you

And one thing, the one thing that life cannot do

It can´t take your song from you

Life can't take it, you don't give it

Life can't take it

It can´t take your song from you

#KOSIGN! Get INTO Ashley Washington's New Song & Visual For Big Mistake!

I have been fascinated by Ashley Washington since we met years ago. I think out of all of the artists I've introduced to people..Ashley has to be the one I've plugged the most.  And it's worth saying that its not just her voice, but her spirit immediately linked with mine. We're long lost sisters for sure. For years I among many have been begging Ashley for some fresh and new music. She stole our hearts with a few songs back in the myspace era, she's had a few amazing features for artists we love, but we've wanted Ashley Washington!!! And we finally got her.

UM! Xscape Reunited on the BET Awards Last Night (Video)

You guys. The BET Awards had lots of highlights. Everyone from Bruno Mars, New Edition, Migos, and SZA, and of course Chance The Rapper's moment of recognition. The BET awards surely knows how to deliver moments.

So.. the Rihanna, Lupita Nyong'o, Ava Du Vernay, Issa Rae MOVIE idea from Twitter IS HAPPENING!!!!!

It was all a TWEET! When a fan posted this photo on twitter advising that Rihanna and Lupita looked like the perfect costars for a dope new movie about two bff's scamming rich white men. 

Solange's Letter to Her Teenage Self is Actually For All Of Us

I've long loved Solange for her way with words, with style, with authenticity. I just had a conversation while home with my sister and her friend about just how unique Solange's contribution to music has been. She's never appeared to have tried to fit into any boxes, and for what it's worth it's worked out for her. 

Today, she shared an open letter to her teenage self with Teen Vogue, and I could not resist sharing it here with you. It's a lengthy read, but it's a must read. These are life lessons and proverbs that all of us need to hear/know only they are pulled from Solange's real life experiences. My goodness I love her way with words.. she even touches on that in this letter. Thank You Solange! You actually wrote this for all of us.  I also think big sis should hire you next time for the poetry contributions!

Continue for letter..

#StayTuned Watch the Full trailer for My New Web Series the-#KayKiKOSIGN

While I'm taking a small break from the site, I am working on something SUPER fun. I'd like to finally share it with you! A few years ago I was sitting at a rehearsal with a bunch of really talented friends and associates. In that moment I felt God ask me, "Kay..why aren't you in your place to really support these folks like you want to?"...it was a terribly good question. I'd started this site, and have always tried my best to show love and support to the artists I come across.

Jade Novah Offers Spine Chilling Rendition of "Strange Fruit"

No stranger to this site, Jade Novah has once again delivered a cover that music lovers will forever appreciate. Often very much so in tune with whats happening in the world, Jade and producer/hubby Devin both use their platforms for more than just entertainment. This rendition of, "Strange Fruit" (originally done by Billie Holiday and later Nina Simone) is overwhelming in the best way.

Shut Up already about Beyonce's womb

As a woman, I can recall the fear of infertility lingering over my head as early as my teenage years. No, I wasn't trying to have kids at that age, but I knew even then that the inability to have them when the time came would hurt me to my core. If Im honest I still think about it too much today, even though Im still not trying to have any. According to the CDC's website, recent studies show that 12% of women ages 15-44 suffer with infertility. Thats just over 7 Million women struggling to conceive or carry a baby full term. I personally know women who have lived through miscarriages, or years of trying to conceive. It's a painful experience. It is the fundamental characteristic of womanhood to create, nurture, and birth. Young, old, black, white, rich, poor..as a woman the womb is the great equalizer. She's a part of our power as a woman. To reach a point of wanting to bring forth life, building up all of the excitement that comes with a newborn baby, only to have it stripped from you can be crippling to say the least.

MUST WATCH: Actress Ashley Judd Delivers Powerful Spoken Word Piece At Women's March on Washington! GO OFF!

I havent been blogging much lately, but I couldn't let this moment go by without doing so. Today marks an exceptional day in herstory when women (and men) all over the world (literally) are marching in protest to the inequalities that we face every day. The Women's March on Washington is happening in DC just one day after the new President took office. That is no coincidence! Trump and his disregard for the woman is the fuel behind many of the fires igniting in DC today!

Watch: President Obama's Farewell Speech Live Online

Last night our President gave his farewell address, and it was an emotional night for everyone in the room. He went back to his beloved Chicago to say his thank yous and goodbyes. President Obama tried to keep his address optimistic, hopeful as we've always seen him be, and quite personal.
