Interview: Mary J. Blige on Chelsea Lately
I’m really finding Mary J Blige to not only be an iconic figure in the RNB world, but really an inspiration for humanity. Her journey as a person in the public eye is really one that people can relate to. From her struggles to her relationships and how she turned her life around. Success is not for everyone. There are a few people who can really sustain the responsibility of their own...

Childish Gambino - Camp Album Review
