“Rap can educate generations in ways undiscovered before and we can for sure bring it into the curriculum. It paves way for easy memorization of the hard learned formulas or the tricky patterns. Back when I was in school my teacher pushed me to rap it out in maths its been an experience for me. Since maths has so little student’s attention we literally lack in it. I discovered that learning math can actually be enjoyable and fun, after exploring how beats can help us understand math concepts. While it can be difficult for many students to remember the rules and properties of mathematical concepts, it is much easier for them to remember the lyrics or the beat of a song.”

Music and mathematics have not just a shared base of patterns, but also a common foundation of repetition. Given the importance of repetition in memorizing things, it’s easy to see how music might help students learn and comprehend mathematical concepts. Music may help in the development of intellectual abilities and enrich portions of the curriculum, according to educators. Music also increases spatial-temporal thinking skills, which are critical for arithmetic topics like proportionate reasoning and geometry, according to the study.

During this difficult time, we promote children, parents, and educators to look outside the box for unique ways like using music to aid with arithmetic. This technique will help prepare kids for the distractions and uncertainties that come with post-secondary life, whether it’s at college or later in life.

According to one of the teachers Alex Kajitani, who is pronounced as “Rappin’ Mathematician”, maths is very important. He believes that the number one way to successfully teach math is to link it with the student’s lives. He suggests teachers not bring a math concept without somehow mixing it to the world around us — or even better, the world our students live in. Raps are one way that he reaches kids in a mode they understand. 

Here comes March with a message of Woman Empowerment and like every March we come forward to support women and cherish their contributions to society.

“What’s the greatest lesson a woman should learn? That since day one, she’s already had everything she needs within herself. It’s the world that convinced her she did not.”
–Rupi Kaur

Here comes March with a message of Woman Empowerment and like every March we come forward to support women and cherish their contributions to society. The relationship between employment and empowerment is being focused generally and particular attention is paid to the individual’s ability to approach job opportunities and working environment at the communal level. Moreover, women’s access toward resources and contribution level to the accumulated family earnings within the family units is also observed. 

The pandora box of discrimination always remains open in the life of rural women, including limited mobility, absence of education and health amenities, non-availability of financial opportunities, unpaid work, wage gap, job harassment, partner violence, fixed extended working hours, double working shift, absence in the political process, conflicts with intimate partner and burdening family responsibilities along with field work. This year Keldamuzik stands with the unprivileged women of rural areas. We need to liberate themselves by getting their rights through the efforts of the feminist wave.

Empowering women contains their will and power to control their lives at their own way. equally inside and outside homes as well as their capability to impact the way of social change to generate a more social and economic order nationally and internationally. Rural women are key agents for development. They play a catalytic role towards achievement of transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable development. But limited access to credit, health care and education are among the many challenges they face. These are further aggravated by the global food and economic crises and climate change. Empowering them is essential, not only for the well-being of individuals, families and rural communities, but also for overall economic productivity, given women’s large presence in the agricultural workforce worldwide.

Keldamuzik is uplifting rural women with her brand Tinks. Tinks is a proud artisan made brand that focuses on the economic development of the rural women.  We urge you all support all the women, whether corporate women, domestic women or rural women.

“Ukraine is bleeding and the world is just talking”, Keldamuzik

With a population of 43.6 million, Ukraine is the 8th most populous country in the European continent. The nation’s capital and largest city is Kyiv. The territory of modern Ukraine has been inhabited since 32,000 BC. On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation waged a war on Ukraine. This attack is the next phase of the invasive course that first showed its shades in 2014. It also shows a continuation, targeted, of the same revanchist ideology that caused the previous events.

Musicians in Ukraine say that a thriving, diverse scene of all genres grew in their country after the 2014 revolution. Now, Russia’s invasion has put its future at risk. Russian artists, including many stars of the classical music scene, are speaking out against the invasion of Ukraine.

I want to urge the music industry of California, of New York, of Texas, of New York, of America to come out in support of Ukraine. We have the power of music to convey our message across the world and raise awareness. I know of many talented great artists taking to social media to express their concern on the current world situation. We need to get take a step forward from just displaying our concerns on social media and take to road demonstration peacefully. The world needs to change its ways of condemning it we need to solidify our words into actions.

Forceful invasion and repeated violation of human rights is something world has witnessed before from Russian regime. Even after imposition of sanctions and trade bans, Russia is consistently thrashing Ukraine’s sovereignty to get its hands to the Black Sea port. The political gains aside of the invasion, Russia has a foreign policy that compels its neighboring countries to live on Russia’s terms. While we are breaking the pandemic’s pressure of economical stress and death rate, looks like the challenges for Ukraine has not ended yet. But why? Can’t we all live in peace? This is a question I leave you all with? If its Ukraine today, it could be Poland or France tomorrow. Think.

It is impressive to witness the power of black people and the influence of the hip-hop community on high-end fashion houses. Hip-hop and fashion have always been closely related. It is quite prevalent to listen to rappers mentioning their loved brands in their songs. Tupac’s participation in Versace fashion left people surprised, so now taking part in fashion ramp walks no longer creates that enigma. After the close relationship with the rap world, luxury brands have now understood that rappers are taking over Hollywood stars as the most demanded icons in displaying style and tastes, esp to the younger generations Y and Z. 

Hip-hop stars joined the fashion industry by becoming brand ambassadors for clothing and accessories. They started their own brands like Jay-Z’s Rocawear. Gradually the high-end fashion designers recognized these rap superstars’ impact and luxury brands began to work with these singers, making hip-hop even more significant worldwide.

Hip-hop’s impact did not pause at the musician; even like Jerry Lorenzo and Kerby Jean-Raymond have been influenced by the rap culture because they put them in their campaigns, fashion runways, and lookbooks.

As a result, hip-hop allowed these designers to create their own versions of high-end clothing. Virgil Abloh is a good example who has been a creative director of LV with 14% year-over-year growth.

I started Tamz: a high fashion beret brand because it accentutes my hip-hop attire. I have added berets to my everyday look and in my performances because I believe it is the era of rappers taking over fashion world and I want my beret line to become worldwide symbol of hip-hop and luxury rap.

Hip-hop love songs are extremely underrated, and the lyrics written by the rappers or rappers themselves are not considered worth it. But the best hip-hop love songs are artistic — bringing new vibes and authenticity to the love song genre while still displaying the chic style of rap.

In here, you will find underrated rap love songs to add to your music including:

• Led Zeppelin – “Going to California”
• David Bowie – “Heroes”
• Zero 7 ft Sia – “Destiny”
• The Paper Kites – “Bloom”

Make sure to scroll all the way through for links where you will find this curated list for all your musical planning needs!

Led Zeppelin – “Going to California”

As we live in California, we get a lot of fans that want to give their family the real California experience through music. We’ve done a couple of different experiments with different genres of love songs, a summer of the pop wedding, or a hip-hop rave or travel favorite. This one works with all of them.

David Bowie – “Heroes”

This is the finest, most nostalgic, romantic song to celebrate love and support for each other.

Zero 7 ft Sia – “Destiny”
Their songs can not be limited to one genre in fact they fall under various song genres indie, folk, hip hop, and electronica. This specific song includes Sia who is a remarkable writer with an amazing voice that brings this love song to life.

The Paper Kites “Bloom”

This track is so lovely and has a perfect summer outdoor feel to it with the guitar-based melodies. Definitely, for those boho hearts, this song does justice to their choice of a perfect song.

The United States, Canada, and Germany honor February as Black History Month. The celebration began in the US to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of the country’s Black populations and their role in US history.

After the unlawful assassination of George Floyd, we’ve heard a global roar for Black lives and the injustice that exist. This has made many of us yearning to learn more about Black history and heritage. Black History Month gives that starting point. Maybe you want to learn about yourself as a black person or maybe you’re an ally looking for a deeper understanding of equal rights.

There is so much Black History to celebrate

In arts and culture, TV and radio, politics, businesses, and education there is so much to celebrate. In fact, in every part of society.

Some of the legends are Dr. Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. But you might also know of black rappers like Keldamuzik and Kafani.

Why is it important?

Black History Month is a time to recognize the past and set goals for the future.  While we celebrate and remember Black History, we cannot forget the harsh experiences we faced to eliminate social injustice.

Which songs to listen to this month?

• Beyonce feat. Kendrick Lamar, “Freedom”
• Victoria Monet feat. Ariana Grande, “Better Days”
• Jay Z, “spiritual”
• Kendrick Lamar, “Alright”
• Lauryn Hill, “Black Rage (Sketch)”
• D’Angelo, “The Charade”
• J. Cole, “Be Free”
• Joe Budden, “Freedom Freestyle”

This is the time to support small black business and donate to black organizations and charities. You can go shop for the coolest berets at Tinks and support a black woman-owned business. We are proud black people of the Great America and our rich history and efforts make it what it is today. I am so proud of my fellows and parents who are an epitome of strength and unity in the face of adversities

With this romantic kitchen date, you can spark romance by getting cozy at home — while enjoying privacy from the world.

What could be more intimate than cooking for each other or cooking together? I still remember cooking with my boo last year and that was one of the most romantic Valentine’s days of my life.

Cooking together is one of the best ways to get to know someone. If this is something you do every day, cook something special on Valentine’s day. Whatever you decide to make, just make sure you make it with love, since that’s what Valentine’s Day is all about. Today I’m sharing my personal favorite recipe for all the love birds out there to make their day more happening and delicious.

Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market. We are surprised by the research statistics that old music is ruling the charts and leading the growth of the music industry.

New music is shrinking and is being replaced by old music. In fact, the listeners seem to be enjoying the hits of the past instead. Success has always been temporary in the music business, but now even new songs that actually are liked by people can pass unnoticed by most.

Old music is actually better

Record labels were called talent scientists as well as businessmen. Previously, music that was created had to go through trials the same way that new vaccines are tested. At that time new artists would be given a record deal then a few albums were produced. If these albums were sold and liked by the public then the artist would get a second album deal with double copies as their release. This music success study gave time for both the artist to develop their genre and for the label to get the public’s reaction.

That development is vanishing in today’s music industry. Instead of listening to their audience, the label decides what they think will get a good reaction and make the most profit.

Songwriters are hesitant

Popular music has been around in its modern form for many years, so it’s very possible that we come across some music repetition that has unfortunately caused plagiarism battles.

Record Labels are afraid

Back in the days, talent scouts hunted for new talent in pubs following new acts, interviewing them, signing them, and then training them through their first recordings. Such talent scouts still exist, but there are few of them. Labels hire people to stalk YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, looking for viral trends.

Old music is easily available

Each of the streaming platforms offers something consisting of over 95 million songs, which is near to all recorded music, all of which are available any time. This has enabled people of all ages to explore more music.

Catalog purchases

Once the deal is signed, the purchaser has to look for methods to unlock additional value in those songs not just to make their money back but to turn a profit for their investors. This means the lifespans of these songs will prolong.

Today’s artists aren’t just competing with each other for the public’s attention like they did in the old days. They’re competing with all the songs ever made.  It’s very tough when a large bunch of old songs is there for the listening.

When stress becomes long-lasting or seems unending, it can take a toll on your health. That’s why it’s significant to have stress relievers that can relax your mind and your body. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all option when it comes to solutions. What works for one person might not work for another. Keldamuzik has opened up about her struggle with stress management, lifting a veil of shame that oftentimes obfuscates the struggle of so many with mental health issues. Keldamuzik is one of the leading stars who is credited with opening up and breaking the stigma around mental health.

“Exercising is my first and foremost way I deal with stress. Making music and expressing myself through art are other ways that I can release my y anxiety. Meditation is another one. Whatever it is, it’s important to find what works for you.”   Keldamuzik

Let’s take a look at a number of ways Keldamuzik manages stress.

Listen to Music
Doesn’t matter what kind of a song you are listening to, sometimes singing the lyrics to a favorite tune makes everything seem all right. Even when you are at a public place and feel distressed, listening to music can be a switch to a good mood. Classical music can be also listened to, to relieve stress before getting some rest.

Try Progressive Relaxation
Stressed? Just squeeze, release, and repeat. Progressive relaxation involves squeezing the muscles in one body part at a time to achieve a state of relaxation. The technique is a great way to help fall asleep.

Eat Some Chocolate
Dark chocolate has stress-relieving substances which are beneficial. Chocolate improves mood, memory, and energy.

Cuddle With a Pet
After a rough day, cuddling a cute, loving animal is the best cure for stress, anxiety, sadness. Pets can ease the sting of social rejection. 

Do Some Yoga
Yoga has long been known to be a great antidote to stress. Yoga combines many popular stress-reducing techniques, including exercise and learning to control the breath, clear the mind, and relax the body.

Talk to a Friend
Video calls, scheduling virtual dinner dates or parties- the internet can help you connect with your support system. Having your trusted circle near you is important for your mental well-being and can help you stay grounded. 

“I own my story and I’m not interested in being perfect. I don’t put on a mask because that is actualy more deteriorating than just being able to step up and admit your mental health in front of people who have enough support for you.”  Keldamuzik

 

Stress can also help you rise to meet challenges. It sharpens your concentration when you’re at an office presentation, or studying for an exam when you’d rather be watching TV. But beyond a certain point, stress starts bringing major damage to your health, mood, productivity, relationships, and quality of life its where it needs to be dealt with, with no shame in it.
