Kanye West Thanks & Shades Billboard Music Awards In Same Breath

Kanye West has a love-hate relationship with awards shows. On the one hand, he loves being honored as one of the greatest artists of his time, inviting praise from all corners. On the other, he has previously spoken distastefully about the GRAMMY Awards and other ceremonies, even going so far as to urinate on his GRAMMY a couple of weeks ago.

Last night was a big night for Kanye, who took home a good portion of the gospel awards at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards for his album Jesus Is King. He’s ecstatic about his win, recording a new video for social media, but he also couldn’t keep himself from throwing a little shade.

“Thank God for the favor the increase and these YEEZY SLIIIIIIIDZZZZ,” wrote Kanye on Twitter this morning. “Thank Billboard awards for the 9 nominations and 4 wins. Invite me next time and I’ll pull up.”

West is suggesting that his invitation may have been lost in the mail, which clearly left a bad taste in his mouth, but he ended up winning so, he can’t be too peeved.

In the video, he says that “God keeps showing up” for him and that he wants to thank all the Christians that have been praying for him.

Maybe this will push him to actually release some new music, you know, as he said he would a few months ago.

Congrats to Kanye.

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
