We had the honor of meeting Amanda King of Amanda Got a Gun yesterday. This Pittsburgh, PA native is in the city this summer following her dream through the doors of Complex Magazine. This super talented Art History major has a knack for both styling and photography which is portrayed on her dope blog. Her future is hella bright and I can’t wait to see her talents blossom.

Singer, songwriter, producer extraordinaire Ryan Leslie held the first of back to back concerts last night at the Bowery Ballroom. Having been to other shows of his, I was curious to see if Ryan could keep up his token energetic performance. I was not disappointed. From the moment he stepped on stage and performed his new song “The Glory”, his raw emotion and love for music seeped from his pores into the crowd. In an instant, I knew the show was going to be killer. It was as though the audience knew every single lyric of every single song that was performed. The highlight of the night had to be after the finale when EVERY girl in the audience chanted Ryan’s name and he was forced back on stage to perform an encore. “Zodiac Sign” ripped through the venue and Ryan walked off in true rocker fashion. After every one of his shows, I leave awed by the pure musicianship that he possesses. I know no one felt cheated when they stepped out that place yesterday.

In a city where great emphasis is put on material and monetary success, the most evident problems of poverty is often overlooked. Education is the inner city is a hot button issue that has yet to see any substantial improvement. Countless schools are being closed due to failing students. The Lottery looks at four families from The Bronx and Harlem who are patiently waiting to find out their young children’s educational fate. These kids’ futures depend on a lottery that, if won, would land them in a charter school. Charter schools are the saviors for a crippled NYC education system. I can’t wait to see the full film.
