After an MRI on his sprained knee, Steph Curry will sit out the next two weeks of the playoffs the Golden State Warriors announced today.   According to the Warriors, the MRI revealed a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks to determine if he is able to return to the court at that time. “Thanks 4 all the prayers & messages. Can feel all the positive energy. God is Great!

  » by Omar Mazariego Apr 25 2016, 3:15pm Share This Tweet This Email This Something that people can expect after a well-known musician dies is the release of unreleased material (see Born Again, Better Dayz, etc). When Prince passed away it was reported that the man who was the embodiment of musical genius had dozens of albums worth of unreleased material locked away, and this weekend fans were treated to one that they would’ve never seen coming.

And for those who aren’t familiar with Big Daddy Kane, he was to...

  The music world suffered yet another untimely blow as Philadelphia R&B and Soul legend Billy Paul died over the weekend. Paul, who enjoyed a series of highs and lows in his long career, was 81 at the time of his passing. Paul was born Paul Williams on Dec. 1, 1934 and raised primarily in North Philadelphia, and was influenced by female jazz greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn among several others. Paul’s career began when he was just 11 years old, which is when he began his classical vocal training at the West Philadelphia School of Music and the Granoff School of Music. Before long, and after taking the stage name Billy Paul, he began signing with some of his favorites across his hometown.
