1. Topaz Jones

Topaz Jones, a graduate of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music program at New York University, is one of my favorite rappers. He has great flow and has the ability to make both fun songs and songs that comment on heavier topics. 2 of his songs that are must-listens are "Tropicana" and "Coping Mechanism."

2. Marc E Bassy

I could listen to Marc E Bassy's smooth vocals and infectious beats and melodies forever. His smooth vocals are perfect for R&B and pull you in from the first note. His EP, "Groovy People," from 2016 is a work of art. Even though he is a singer, not a rapper, I like to think that he has flow as good as some of my favorite rappers. When Marc E Bassy sings, it just sounds effortless. You should definitely check out "Subway Car" and "Show Me."

3. Kehlani

I love Kehlani's voice for the same reasons that I love Marc E Bassy's. Her smooth R&B vocals are versatile. She has the ability to emote in slower, more heartfelt songs like "Hold Me By the Heart," but also asserts her independence in songs like "Did I." With a Grammy nomination already under her belt, Kehlani has huge things ahead of her in her music career.

4. Marian Hill

Marian Hill is a duo made up of vocalist Samantha Gongol and producer Jeremy Lloyd. Samantha's pop vocals and Jeremy's beats meld perfectly together to create a unique electronic sound. Every song on their most recent album "ACT ONE" is well constructed and thought out. However, my favorite songs of theirs are their single with Lauren Jauregui, "Back To Me," and "Got It" from their EP "Sway."

5. Logic

Logic's flawless flow and poetic lyrics make him my favorite rapper. The amount of effort he puts into his music is evident from his extremely clever lyrics and the fact that he takes the time to make concept albums. His concept albums give the listener a story to follow and his skits bring some humor. Definitely give a listen to "Till the End," "Deeper Than Money," and the skit "A Word from Our Sponsor."

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
