...music is one that has absorbed all of these influences but doesn’t sound like any of them. He has the listener looking back as well as looking forward.”When asked what it was like to work with Byron, Everett quotes Buck Clayton, who was commenting on working with Billie Holiday when he said it was like “eating chocolate ice cream.” With Byron, perhaps not only is working with him a treat, but listening to him is as well. It’s like getting the 100 flavor...
Nikolai Statkevich tried to buck the system in 2001: he ran for President of Belarus. The country calls itself democratic, but President Alexander Lukashenko, in power for 11 years, runs it like the last dictatorship in Europe and brooks no challenges to his neo-Stalinist rule.

The study raises a broader, difficult question that corporations are only beginning to deal with: As minority employees rise in the workplace, should...
...Unit’s Young Buck acts like the guy at the party who tries to be a little bit tougher than everybody else, unaware that Three 6 Mafia are the toughest of them all. After all, their only other mainstream hit was “Tear Da Club Up”, a pre-Lil’ Jon-era stomp that out-crunked all of crunk up till that point...
