The Story of Johnnie Walker: The Man Who Walked Around The World
If you’re someone who is fairly familiar with their alcoholic beverages, then the name Johnnie Walker shouldn’t be new to you. This particular brand of scotch whiskey is world famous but like many of the things we use and consume, little is know about the brand’s origin and it’s claim to fame. This video saves you the trip to wikipedia, if you cared enough to look and creatively sums everything up in a roughly 6 minute story. Johnnie Walker was essentially self-made and there can be something learned from his ambitious journey from nothing to something. Take note and hopefully you’re inspired to live and lead a legacy of your own.

“Daylight beams, nightlife schemes, this is my inception, I’m writing my dreams”
86,400
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. And every evening it deletes whatever part of the balance you fail to use during that day. What would you do? Draw out every cent. Each one of us has such a bank. It’s called TIME. Every morning it credits you with 86400 seconds. And every night it writes off as lost whatever you have failed to invest wisely. It carries no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. If you fail to use the day’s deposit, the loss is yours… There is no going back. There is no drawing against the tomorrow. You must live in the present. On today’s deposit. Invest it in every opportunity. The clock is running. You’ve got to make the most of today. Right Here. Right Now.
Cassette Music — Urban Cartel
The wait is finally over, DMV-based Music Band Urban Cartel, released their second album today titled Cassette Music. I’ve been blasting the record since Midnight and I’m very impressed. I personally feel like music the quality of music has
been depreciating lately not many Artist in our generation are capable of making timeless music, and although Urban Cartel’s second album is barely 15 hours old, they are definitely on the right track. The sound is extremely unique and a breathe of fresh air, from the music that plagues the airways nowadays. I gotta chance to catch up with the bands Lead Singer, Funsho aka “Seph Ade” (who is also a good friend of ours) and he was able to shed some light on what Cassette Music is. Checkout the Q & A:
Q: What was the inspiration behind the Album Title?
A: The name came after the creation of the music, we all sat back and took listen from beginning to end, the sound of the music is reminiscent of music back in the day, people used to really appreciate the instrumentation and raw feel of the music, so we decided it was a fitting name.
Q: Besides the DMV which areas do you believe show you guys the most love?
A: I would have to say New York and Philly, alot of people have reached out to us, about doing shows.
Q: What is your favorite song on the Album?
A: Personally I would have to say “In Too Deep” because it tells a story, if you listen to the track you will see, that starts off speaking about one thing and then begins to transition like an epic play that ends so powerfully.
Q: If you could collaborate with any Artist in the DMV who would it be?
A: I would have to say Wale, besides him being the hottest Artist in the area, his music encompasses a lot of components we incorporate in our music. There is a lot of depth and content, of course you’re gonna have your club bangers, but talking about something real is very important.
