When he entered his high school, he became notorious for skipping classes and for peddling drugs. His parents then sent him to Florida, hoping that he would complete his high school there without getting himself into trouble. In Florida, A Boogie was kept under house arrest. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him as he had plenty of time to kill which allowed him to focus on music. He started off by tweaking his self-composed rhymes and gradually one thing led to another. Inspired by Kanye West and 50 Cent, A Boogie started rapping. He even built an amateur studio inside the flat that he lived in. Meanwhile, he completed his high school from Performance-Based Preparatory Academy, Florida.

As a little girl growing up outside Detroit, Queen Naija started singing in church at the age of three and writing her own songs in third grade. Although she kept up with her singing and songwriting as she got older—and even cut a few records in a local studio—her focus shifted when she and her former husband found fame online with their wildly popular YouTube channel. But when their marriage fell apart last year, Queen returned to her lifelong passion and released a powerfully unapologetic single that shares her side of the story. Premiering just hours before midnight on New Year’s Eve, Queen’s breakout hit “Medicine” is a slow-burning R&B track about discovering her ex-husband had cheated on her—and her elaborately detailed plans to get back at him. Part tender breakup ballad, part ruthless revenge fantasy, “Medicine” finds Queen’s smooth and soulful vocals moving from vulnerable to fierce with undeniable ease. But while the song was an instant smash—making a staggering debut at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100, a nearly-unheard-of achievement for an emerging artist—Queen never even intended for “Medicine” to reach beyond her devoted following on YouTube and Instagram.

Do you think it is possible to have no enemies? Today’s society can be pretty violent but it is still possible to live a good life. I feel like it is not possible to live without having no enemies in today’s society, because there is always that one person who ruins the day or the few people who don’t like you for being kind and caring. A person who would have no enemies would be honest, noble, kind, and caring. A person who had no enemies would always be a hard worker and would always try to be kind and caring in every way. A person who had no enemies would be a superhero that has a superpower, because being a regular human being with no enemies is impossible because there are always that one person who doesn’t like you. A superhero with a superpower that has no enemies would be controlling everybody’s mind to like you.
