But instead of celebration, it turned into a sour experience when his entire rap verse on the song “Symphony” by worship group Switch, was cut out from the Dove’s telecast.

Earlier this week JustHis League members Cutright and Ike Hill made their musical debuts on All Elite Wrestling’s show AEW Dark.

I’ve always liked the idea of communicating […]

My parents are originally from Ghana. My dad is a DJ and spoon-fed me so many different genres of music growing up. Everything changed when he introduced me to Michael Jackson’s music. I was sold – I thought I was […]
