It’s finally here!! The labor of love that is AREALLIFEREBEL’s “DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.” Rebel started his artistic journey almost a decade ago. Since then he has experienced many losses and setbacks along his musical journey. In 2016, Rebel had an epiphany that he wanted to leave something musically great to the world as he contemplated giving music up altogether.
Through telling lucid stories of his upbringing, family life, religion, with pain and loss; “DELUSIONS,” is a triumphant realization that whatever you dream can be obtained through persistence and hard work. The 5 song EP solidifies Rebel as a strong force to be reckoned with as he shines through his lyrical prowess and ability to paint vivid pictures.

Mike D’Angelo is taking the DMV by storm. He is a thriving Hip-Hop artist pushing the limits as a community leader and activist and lyrical MC. He recently won “Breakout Artist of the Year,” at the DMV’s Annual Titan Awards, where the winner is based off of a voting system. Mike also recently held a benefit concert for the family of James Anthony Smith, a local teenager killed in SE, Washington, DC over a pair of Jordans, that his mother bought him as an early Christmas present.
Back in August, Dre Black had the pleasure of spending some time with Mike, where they went back to Mike’s childhood neighborhood located in Edgewood NE, Washington, DC. From there they went on what was supposed to be a 15 min interview to a 4 hour day of great footage of Mike in his element.
Watch the he first segment “Humble Beginnings” below:

I’ve never been the conspiracy theorist, but the video ” The Science Agenda to Exterminate Blacks,” is something that every person of color should definitely watch. The video is laced with facts and receipts of governmental experiments and covert operations that are intended to affect and diminish the black population. Although shocking, this video proves what some of us already knew. It is a harsh truth and reality but that is why we must educate and inform ourselves to not only protect ourselves but our children’s children, children. Wonder why some people do not get vaccinations or vaccinate their children? Why certain foods should not even be considered in our diet? How these vaccinations contain human properties from aborted babies? Watch below:

This video lecture documents the pattern of heavy metals poisoning, medical experimentation, organ harvesting, covert fertility task forces and other tactics that seek to eliminate blacks from our planet. These genocidal tactics are carried out in the name of science and medicine via the following vectors: Food supply (laced with infertility chemicals, confirmed by the New York Times quoting a U.S. President’s science advisor) Water supply (heavy metals poisoning, as we recently witnessed in Flint, Michigan) Medical experimentation (Tuskegee, Guatemalan prisoner experiments funded by the U.S. government, etc.) Immunization campaign (covert sterilization of young women in Africa) Cancer (disproportionately affects people of darker skin color due to vitamin D deficiency) Abortion activities that target blacks in order to harvest baby organ tissue for use in vaccines — medical cannibalism.

Colin Kaepernick is GQ‘s Citizen of the Year. While Kap maintains his silent protest, he collaborated with GQ on a special project: a wide-ranging series of interviews with ten of his closest confidants and supporters—including rapper J. Cole, filmmaker Ava DuVernay, legendary artist Harry Belafonte, and more. Together, they explore Colin Kaepernick’s actions, provide insight into his world right now, and explain why there’s more work to be done.
Check out some dope photos of Kap below:
Fresh of the Press debuts a new preview video of the upcoming vlog series which is set to cover an array of entertainment/media and community activism/leadership in the DMV area and abroad. First up is Mike D’Angelo, upcoming artist from Edgewood Northeast, DC who has been grinding it out and making a name for himself. He recently signed a deal with MHG/Cash Money and has a real story to tell. Check out the preview below:
What is EAT? Many are asking and wondering what the three-word lettering stands for and it’s relevance. Well, it stands for Elevate All the Time and the BRAND is spreading like a wildfire.
Initially starting off as a photographer and stamping his photos with his now recognizable and popular eat.. logo. Malik Jarrett has now transitioned into one of the hottest local brands since the days of other popular brands Madness, Visu Mchunu, All Daz and WE R One. However, for Malik it appears that he has expanded on the concept of what brand recognition is and has taken his apparel line to the next level by doing pop-up shops all around the city, engaging young black males with his BOYS EAT program at Ketchum ES in Washington, DC promoting community strengthening and character, and being in high demand as word of mouth has pushed the brand to even higher levels.
All Homage which was created out of Malik’s love for photography and capturing moments created the phrase because he believes in giving respect and credit where it’s due. #Ifyoudonteatyoudieinthestreets is his hashtag and slogan, inciting that EAT is for the culture and the city of Washington. His goal is to be relevant, he wants to be known 50 years from now where his brand will still be going strong. Malik says that it is not about the money for him. He wants to see everybody win!!
Malik says that his influences are his life experiences which have shaped his view of life. His biggest inspiration is beautiful females where he gets some of his greatest ideas. Malik’s creative juices also get flowing in the morning time when he feels like his best self. He believes that GOD is his greatest leader and fully follows the path that he has paved for him.
Malik and his team recently visited Bali, Indonesia and spread some EAT inspiration to the locals and children.
Malik’s BOYS EAT program is 9-week program that teaches young men values to become kings and to walk with honor. He encourages them to use their creativity and not to be afraid to be themselves. The boys also get to learn first hand about photography from Malik himself. The BOYS EAT program could use NEW disposable cameras and monetary donations to continue the program. If you would like to make a donation or monetary contribution, visit http://www.allhomage.com.
Let’s continue to support our black business owners and anything positive in our community. Malik has definitely stepped up to the plate ensuring that he has the backs of others as long as you got his!! We all deserve to EAT!
