It was a typical day as I was scrolling through music to listen to. I always try to expand my horizons and listen to other artists and rappers. I stumbled upon a rapper named Pouya. It sounds like an outrageous name for a rapper of course. But, upon listening to some songs, I was interested in this rapper and I saw a kind of potential brewing under these beats and flow.

He has a kind of uniqueness to him with his voice that sounds hazy and is a bit changed by some effects. Pouya has that nice flow that rappers typically have. I found myself intrigued because I like listening to rappers that have a nice flow and rhyming ability. When you look at him, his appearance does not look like a typical rapper having long black hair and being tall and skinny with jeans.

Pouya's debut project "Underground Underdog," was a good album that showed his flow and rhyming ability. His clever use of words helped move the project. Some songs were not so good, but the ones that were good hit a mark. Pouya seems to have found his own unique voice that sounds dark and eerie. Highlights are songs like "Energy," "Scrubs," "Great Influence," "Yuh," The last song "41," has a depressive feel to it that ends the album on a sad note.

What this upcoming underground rapper needs to work on is his delivery and on working more substance into his raps. Rapping more than just about women, drugs, and money to reach another level. Other rappers rap about the same topics.

Pouya just released his latest mixtape "Drop out of School," on February 24, 2017. The beats on the project are very well done and all pack a punch. The first song "I Decided," has a menacing beat to it and starts the mixtape off very well. Other highlight songs include "Drop Out of School," which seems to be the central song to the whole project as the cover has Pouya and his friend Fat Nick outside the Miami high school in flames. Pouya raps with nice lyrics, "Take a gamble with life, a young drop-out, Momma told me I was never gonna make it. Now I got a hundred women tryna get me naked."

They two have good chemistry working together. The mixtape keeps to a central theme of two kids starting from bleak future's dropping out of school and pursuing a rap career. Pouya successfully pulls it off and now has everything he has always wanted. Another good song is "Torch," is is a very catchy song filled with a nice chorus and beat. One of the catchy lyrics in the song goes like, "All these rappers know that the Underground Underdog hold the torch." He is saying how his old project holds the fire or torch for rap music. The other track "Middle of the Mall," is a song that brags about riches and fame. The overall project flounders in the fact that the second half falls short and that it clocks in at around only 26 minutes, which is very short for a project or mixtape.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
