so as someone who has never watched GCW or CZW or seen Nick Gage wrestle, but wants to be prepared for what mayhem may come on Dynamite, would I regret buying the Homecoming Day 1?
maybe. if you're not into deathmatch/hardcore wrestling, it might be A Bit Much to start with. also, gcw shows cost cash monies, as you said. for me? absolutely worth it, the card is absolutely stacked. hell, 2 cold scorpio whoopin ass at 55 years old was worth the price of admission. but if you don't know what you're getting yourself into, it might put you off.
i'd suggest starting easy (and free) with some beyond matches on youtube. beyond wrestling is a great promotion, gage's second home after gcw, they always put on fuckin bangers of shows. and they put out a shitton of free matches on youtube!
youtube
gage vs g-raver, 50,000 thumbtacks match.
a nice, easy appetizer. a good place to dip your toe into the hardcore shit. (i'd also suggest looking into an iwtv sub and finding the 100,000 thumbtack match from halloween 2019 [? i think? i dont have it open in front of me]. nick gage vs mance warner. heckuva time.)
youtube
gage vs addy starr, no dq. we love and support intergender wrestling in this house. if you arent a fan, for personal reasons, skip this one. i get it. if you think it shouldnt exist at all, then we will have words.
anyway, great match. made me fall a little in love with addy, good show all around. (pretty sure that was the same show with chris dickinson vs effy, which isn't related, but i sincerely loved it and recommend that match to anyone who will listen. or, this was the double header with gcw, and that match was on the the show.)
i cant think the gage match will go harder than dr. britt baker d.m.d. vs thunder rosa, or the bunkhouse match, or the first mox vs omega match with the barbed wire web. there *is* a limit to what you can show on cable tv, after all. but if you enjoyed those, there's a good chance you'll end up enjoying homecoming. but, as evidenced above, gage clearly knows what he's doing, too. he can hit whatever level they need him to. hell, go look up ndk (nerder death kill, his tag team with thomas santell--ask me about ndk, i love ndk) matches. he can actually wrestle, too. hell, i like his one winged angel better than kenny's. yeah. i fuckin said it. come at me.
anyway, my point was, its probably not going to end up as violent as we want it to. he can work well within set parameters, ie: tv ratings. he's coming off the b r u t a l match last night. hes been teased for homecoming part 2 tonight. mans gotta be hurting.
but, just in case they let him do his thing, here's a little taste of the true god of this shit.
youtube
gage vs shlak. this is, i think, what we're all wanting, expecting, and hoping for for wednesday night. absolute fucking mayhem. blood. lighttubes. pizza cutters to the face. total fucking destruction.
youtube
this isn't a full match, but i will always put pro wrestling cinema over. they do good work. but DO search this full match out if you wanna spend money (rspring break from gcw' the collective event over wrestlemania weekend. delightful show). highly recommend. but even just in highlight form, set to dmx songs, this fucks. it remains one of the hardest, bloodiest, most painful--even for me--gage matches i've seen in recent memory, outstanding work. may dmx rest in peace, one of the best there ever was or will be.
if you're enjoying yourself, and you find that you dont mind spending money on the king, i would highly suggest: gage vs effy from the gcw/black lable pro double feature, 2 cups stuffed. im pretty sure the whole show is on iwtv, but it might be a buy from fite (which, if theyre still doing the "download the app and get like 10 bucks of credits," do it. this isn't an ad, but thats basically a free ppv). one of my favorite matches. effy brought it. absolutely insane. a+ would recommend.
also, the gage vs allie kat texas deathmatch which gave the world the best wrestling promo to exist ever.
and also gage vs aj gray from gcw draft day in may. it has everything. mayhem. gage retaining the title (😭 fuck you cardona). aj gray being a baddass. a jon moxley run in. ron funches on comentary. great time all around.
i may have gotten distracted a lot because i havent had coffee yet, but i just love nick gage, y'all.

DMX Discography Overview
It's Dark and Hell is Hot(1998): DMX's distinctive growl, aggression, and arresting flow is fully formed and at its highest potency here on It's Dark and Hell Is Hot. It's Dark and Hell is Hot is, for the most part, a dark menacing and street-orientated album. Some tracks even lean toward a horror-core vibe, "X is Coming" being the bleakest and most unsettling of the bunch. Still, there are deeply emotive tracks like Let Me Fly, Look Through My Eyes, and Convo, where DMX gets introspective and lets us in on his struggles internally and morally/spiritually. There are also hits here, like the hard but catchy "Ruff Ryders Anthem" and the chill summer jam "How's It Going Down." The album's production is handled by PK and Dame Grease, with the album's calling card produced by Swizz Beatz. On a broader level, DMX was a presence in the rap game filled some of the space that had been vacant since Tupac Shakur was murdered, passionate, aggressive, and visceral only specifically representative of the east coast. He also was the answer to the shiny suit luxury rap era Puffy was dominating with in 1997. The album is pure classic and certainly a top-tier album of 1998. Rating: 9.0/10
Favorite Tracks: Rough Rydahs Anthem, How's It Going Down, Intro, Crime Story, Look Thru My Eyes, Let Me Fly
youtube
Flesh of my Flesh Blood of my Blood(1998): Flesh of My Flesh Blood of my Blood was released in late December of 1998 cemented DMX as the biggest rapper of that year and late 90s in general(Jay-Z notwithstanding). Aside from the Beastie Boys, the album had the highest first-week sales in a highly competitive year. As for the quality of this one, It's more of DMX's burst of rough and jagged rhymes. When he's not menacing(which is most of the time), he's as introspective and pain-stricken as he was on It's Dark, and Hell Is Hot. The apex of that would be "Slippin," an iconic song that is amongst the saddest tracks in hip-hop history as DMX open shares the trauma of his upbringing, being an addict and struggling to get out of it only to find its way back in it and everything that surrounds that in his past. It's really the fight in the song that makes the song his willingness not to quit and keep trying that makes the song "I got to get up, get back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up." What keeps the album from being the classic his debut was is that Swizz Beats takes the helm on most of the production here, which is hit or miss. DJ Shok, PK, and Dame Grease have a lot of the best beats here. They bring out that dark energy and tone that makes for X's best work. All in all, it's still a great project and amongst his best work. Rating: 8.0/10
Favorite Tracks: Slippin', Dogs For Life, Coming From, Black Out,
youtube
...And Then There Was X(1999): ...And Then There Was X picks up were DMX previously left out brutal, pummeling bone-crushing violence come is to be expected. "One More Road to Cross" and "The Professional"(one of the albums hardest tracks) are early highlights. Then there's the heartfelt but mature writing of "Here We Go Again," one X's best tracks, and "More 2 a Song," the ladder of which speaks to DMX's avoidance when it comes to rapping about the flashy materialistic side of things. While this is DMX's third full length album, it sounds more like a full-fledged sophomore effort to It's Dark and Hell is Hot while Flesh of my Flesh' plays more as an extension, too, or a very good b-side to its predecessor. This album contains some of DMX most well-known hits it including his biggest "Party Up"(Up in Here), a high energy track produced by Swizz Beatz that finds DMX being peak DMX, the chorus is both funny and little corny, there's a good touch of humor in DMX's bars on the track that give it charm. Another well-known X track is "What these B*tches Want" ft Sisqo, a silly and misogynistic track that has its charm and humor but is a bit lacking as far as the chorus in my opinion. "What's My Name?" however, is a banger that's one of DMX's better singles and meant to be played at a high volume out of your car. ...And Then There Was X is another strong album from DMX, and its more consistent than Flesh of my Flesh' less visceral and hungry than It's Dark. 8.5/10
Favorite tracks: Party Up(Up in Here) Here We Go Again, What's My Name, The Professional, Angel, More 2 a Song
youtube
The Great Depression(2001): DMX's fourth straight #1 album finds him trying new things. There are the rap-rock efforts like Bloodline Efforts, and I'ma Bang which will always be hit or miss depending on the kind of music listener you are. To me, they're listenable but amongst the corniest of DMX records in his catalog. The worst is the silly/sad "She Was Da Bomb" where X writes a track about basically impregnating a woman and threatening to be a deadbeat. Yeah, the lows here are amongst the lowest of his career. Transversely, "Who We Be," a socially conscious record, is one of DMX's best tracks ever, and "We Right Here" has a great beat and is amongst the best on the album. Aside from the hits, you get the heartfelt "I'm Missing You" and the thoughtful "When I'm Nothing". There are also more R&B sounds here which I think is a nice change of pace. The Great Depression is solid; it's less aggressive and consistent than any of the three albums before it; some songs really work, and a few don't. I think it's worth listening to; there are essential DMX tracks here, but I wouldn't consider the LP quintessential as a whole. 7.5/10
Favorite Tracks: Who We Be, We Right Here, When I”m Nothing, I”m Missing You,
youtube
Grand Champ(2003): DMX's fifth straight #1 album is even more boom or bust than The Great Depression is. Where The Great Depression had weird moments and tracks that didn't quite work. Here X doesn't sound quite as passionate as he does early in his career. In an interview he did on 106 n Park around the time of the album's release, he'd spoken about not making what he should off his music, and I wonder how much that put a damper on writing and recording for this album. When it comes to what's here, the menacing brutality and growl is here, but it isn't as consistently visceral as it was early on. At 24 tracks, it's also a long, over-bloated album but even shorting it; I don't think the bulk of the music here holds up through time. "Get it On the Floor," has a terrible chorus, and most tracks between 13-23 are forgettable. As for the best of what's here "Where the Hood At" Produced by Swizz is a classic DMX track it's hard and has a great beat and hook. "Dogs Out" Which features Kanye on production. Then you have "We're Back" ft Eve and Jadakiss, another highlight and features pretty good verses from all three, but I believe Jada had the best performance. The international version of the album features the track "X Gon Give It To Ya" another very good single from X. This is an interesting listen, and depending how die-hard an X fan you are you may still enjoy this. I think there are tracks worth salvaging, but it isn't an essential listen. 6.5/10
Favorite Tracks: Dogs Out, Where The Hood At, X Gon Give it to Ya
youtube
The Year of the Dog(2006):This is the point where the bottom really fell out on DMX's music. The highs here aren't amongst the highest of X's career, and the lows are certainly amongst the lowest—tons of generic and lackluster production, mediocre choruses. A weird rap/rock crossover. DMX's tenacity isn't as urgent or visceral, and a lot of what's here (tracks 2-10) sounds, sadly, like a caricature of himself(with "It's personal" as the exception). The best tracks on the album are sneak in at the end where you find songs like "Blown Away" and "Goodbye"; those are the most soul-bearing tracks on the album. As a whole, it's a below-average album that, aside from a few moments, The down turn reflected itself culturally and sells wise it was his first album not to go #1 and only to go gold, and by the mid 00s DMX wasn’t in most conversations when comes to being amongst the best . 4.0/10
Favorite Tracks: It’s Personal, Blown Away, Goodbye, Life Be My Song
Undisputed(2012): Undisputed was a well-intentioned, admirable comeback album for DMX. There are some solid moments here "Cold World" Speaks on what he perceives as the rap game getting weak. "I'm back" is one of the better tracks on the album. You can hear the pain coming through on "Have You Eva." I like "Y'all Don't Really Know" because it comes close to some of his early work. Still, it just isn't enough; there are quite a few missteps on this album, whether it'd be the awful "Sucker for Love" or "I Get Scared" X sounds weaker vocally, and the production is lacking. There's some charm to "I Don't Dance" with MGK but it's somewhat awkward and not among his strongest singles. It's better than Year Of The Dog but still far from the level of X's heyday. 5.5/10
Favorite Tracks: I‘m Back, Have You Eva, Ya’ll Don’t Really Know
DMX is an undeniable legend and quintessential to late 90s-early 00s hip-hop. His music and voice, and passion transcends its era and is easily felt now. His apex from 98-00' is highly recommended. Past that, it's a lot more hit and miss, but both the Great Depression and Grand Champ have some gems worth grabbing. Past that, it's even spottier but given X's internal struggles it was great we were even able to get those LPs. Fortunately, DMX seemed to be doing well and had finished an album before passing away, so I'm eager to hear what he'd been working on.

It's true that children watch and pay attention to the actions we make and the words we speak.
When I was one (a child), I didn't really understand everything DMX was saying..but his energy, growls, and dogs def had me hype and hyper..some songs i used to blast and sing out of the window like.. "How's It Going Down" ..Singing a story of mine for the future me lol. Anyways as time moved forward and we lost Aaliyah...I got to see another side of the Dark Man X...which was vulnerability and respect. He had a heart and that synched with me from then.
#Heart of #Gold with #cold
We could appear to be like a monster as we act on our our demons' wills in times of survival and tribulations....situations.............
Keep your heart and move in love.
He taught me that. To be myself. To move in example. To be genuine amidst chaos.
All of us..30s and up, we are being looked at.. So.. how we move and carry the world _____________________ ..................................... 👀

Mr. In Between
Rafael Barba x Reader. Brief mentions of Rafael Barba x Olivia Benson. Prompt inspired by @sweetsummertime99: “ I was watching friends and it was the episode where Ross writes the pro/con list for Rachel and Emily. I’d like to see if someone would write the same kind of scenario not with a waitress but other attributes. Rafael Barba x Female Reader where Rafael writes the list and the reader finds it. Possibly comparing to Olivia?”
CW: slightly NSFW, some angst. AN: I am the biggest FRIENDS fan - I still get really angry at this episode. My heart breaks for Rachel when Ross makes the comparison list with her and Julie. I blame Chandler and Joey - they don’t take any responsibility for their involvement.
AN2: Thanks to @melsquared79 for all of the help with bouncing ideas and feedback!

***
Three Months Ago
“Can I get you anything?”
You and Rafael looked up at the waitress who had approached your table. “I’ll have a dry cappuccino,” Rafael requested. The waitress nodded and turned to you.
“Matcha soy latte for me, thanks,” you replied.
“Biscotti for the table too, please.” Rafael looked at you and smiled. “You look lovely tonight.”
You smiled in return. “Thank you. You look quite handsome yourself.” And Rafael did - he always did regardless if he was in a three piece suit or in a polo shirt and fitted jeans, which was his current ensemble. You shifted in your seat and tucked your hair behind your ears, showing off the teardrop earrings the hung off your lobes.
The two of you made small talk, catching up on the week’s happenings while waiting for the food and drinks to arrive. The waitress soon returned, placing your drinks down along with a small plate of assorted dipped and non-dipped biscotti in the middle of the table. When you reached across the table to grab a piece of biscotti, Rafael used the opportunity to reach across and take your hand into his.
“I brought you here tonight because I wanted to talk about us and our future,” he began. “I want you to know that you’re a very special person in my life.” Rafael shifted in his seat and leaned forward to stare into your eyes.
Your heart began to beat harder. You willed yourself to be calm and collected. “You’re very special to me too, Rafi,” you replied.
Rafael took a deep breath before he began speaking once more. “I want you to know that I really like you: I love spending time with you. But, I just want to continue to keep things casual,” Rafael gave your hand a gentle squeeze and you nodded, in response.
“Sure,” you replied softly, feeling your heart sink and shatter. You turned your head and stared off at the waitress who was now drying coffee mugs with a cloth.
Your stomach lurched and you did your best to ignore the lump in your throat that began to form.
“Are you sure you’re okay with this? I just want to be honest about where we stand; I am not ready for a relationship at this time.” Rafael stated. His question fell on deaf ears. “Y/N?”
“Hmmm?” You turned to face Rafael. “Oh! Yes, it’s fine.” You tried to seem confident and cool, as if his decision had no effect on you. However, you were certain that the shakiness in your voice betrayed you.
You couldn’t believe what you were hearing; of all of the places for Rafael to drop his non-committal line, he chose the coffee shop that you two had your first date at. You had hoped that Rafael was going to make a declaration - and he had - just not the one you wanted.
You glanced down at your watch, and pretended to be alarmed at the time. “Look at the time, I have to go; I have an early work meeting,” you replied, standing. You ran your hands over your clothes nervously before leaning over to your purse.
As you moved to stand, Rafael grabbed your hand once more, causing you to stop.
“Please, lets talk; let me take you home,” Rafael replied. His voice was pleading and you could see the worry etched on his face.
You shook your head and Rafael‘s pilled his hand off of yours. “Call me or I’ll call you...goodnight Rafael. Thanks for the coffee.”
That night, you had gone back to your apartment. Rather than sob into your pillow, you raged cleaned, cranking up the music so loud you were sure your neighbors were going to complain. There was nothing like a bottle of lemon-scented oven cleaner and DMX to help you process your emotions. You ran the details of your relationship- if it even was one - with Rafael Barba - through your mind as you scrubbed the spider grates on your stove.
You had met Rafael during the end of intermission of Hamilton. The lights began to dim, and the throngs of theater goers began to file back to their seats. You tried to move right, he tried to move right; the same thing happened as you moved to the left. You both laughed awkwardly, and eventually Rafael moved out of the way so you could walk past. As you did so, your hands just barely grazed each other’s. You felt a spark and as you headed down the hallway, you turned your head and you could see Rafael watching you, a goofy smile on his face.
After the show had ended, you bumped into Rafael once more on the sidewalk while trying to hail a cab. From there, you exchanged phone numbers and subsequently started seeing each other. With his line of work, Rafael had warned he would not and could not be the ideal boyfriend. You had accepted that at first. You had broken up with your partner a year prior, so you weren’t looking for anything serious. Not at least initially.
But with matters of the heart, you had a tendency to let your feelings, which were carried on the wings of a very vivid imagination, get away from you almost immediately. Rafael had hinted that he was seeing someone else in addition to you. Olivia - something. But you tried to not let it bother you. You enjoyed spending time with Rafael and didn’t want to ruin what you both had going.
****
A few days later after the coffee shop incident, Rafael called you and you reluctantly made plans to get together later that week.
You had finished your day early with work as you needed to run a few errands. It was cold that day; Fall was transitioning to Winter in New York City. The wind was whipping, causing leaves to scatter on the sidewalk and street. You shivered as you exited the cleaners, your arms full of freshly cleaned clothes. One of the hangers slipped from your arms as a huge gust of wind blew as you rounded the corner of the block. You bent down to pick it up and as you stood back up, you saw Rafael across the way. And he was not alone. Holding onto his arm was an attractive brunette. You could only assume it was Olivia.
Rafael hadn’t spotted you and you felt like some kind of voyeur - you knew you shouldn’t watch but you were too transfixed to move. You watched Rafael pull Olivia into an embrace; his gloved hand pushed away the hair that had fallen across her face - the same hand that had done the same to you countless times. He leaned down towards her face and you turned away, unable to watch any further. You hurried back to your apartment with your freshly dry cleaned clothes. You tried to remove the image from your mind but you couldn’t do it.
You canceled on Rafael that week. And the week after that. But eventually, you caved and returned Rafael’s calls with a weak excuse that work had you swamped. To your relief, he bought it.
****
Fast Forward to Present Day
The night had gone wonderfully. You were at the NY Legal Assistance Gala held at Tribeca Rooftop. You had danced all night, had a few cocktails, followed by a meal so good it should’ve been illegal. And you had the most handsome man hanging off your arm.
You leaned forward against the railing, taking in the scene ahead of you - it was late, but Manhattan was still a-buzz. The music had drowned most of the traffic, but you could still make out some of it if you truly listened carefully.
“You know, I may be biased, but you’re the most beautiful person here,” a voice murmured in your ear from behind, before two large arms enveloped you. You turned around, and came face to face with Rafael. You searched his sea-foam green eyes and smiled. You reached up and smoothed the wisp of dark hair that had fallen across his forehead.
Rafael took your hand and kissed the inside of your wrist. “Y/N, I know I had told you I had wanted something casual, but these last few months...it’s made me realize something.”
Your heart leapt in your chest as you listened intently.
“I broke things off with Olivia. It was getting too complicated and I couldn’t give her what she wanted and she couldn’t give me what I wanted.”
You stood there dumbfounded as Rafael continued his declaration. “You are so important to me. You are so wonderful. Cuando era niño soñaba con conquistar el mundo, ahora me doy cuenta que tú eres mí mundo y me has conquistado,” Rafael rushed out.
You blinked. “What does that mean? You know my Spanish isn’t perfect.”
Rafael stepped closer to you, effectively closing the gap between you and him. “It means, when I was a kid, I dreamed of conquering the world. Now I realize that you're my world and you have conquered me.”
“Trying go get into my pants counselor?” you teased, gently pressing a kiss to the corner of his lips.
“More like out of this dress,” was the husky reply. You looked down at your dress - a fitted, fiery red off the shoulder gown that hugged your curves in all the right places. A hand trailed from your shoulder, towards your décolletage.
Your cheeks turned pink and you felt an ache develop between your legs.
Rafael cupped your face. “I mean it. It’s you. It’s always been you.” You searched his eyes once more. You leaned up to kiss him, and Rafael used one strong, muscled arm to envelope you in a tight embrace; you could feel the evidence of his desire against your belly. His lips captured yours and he used his other hand to tilt your head so that he could deepen the kiss. Your tongues dueled and you could taste the remains of the scotch he had earlier.
Rafael nipped your bottom lip with his teeth, gently pulling, before moving to your neck, sucking on your sweet spot. You groaned and melted further into his embrace. Such a public display would have normally flustered you; but instead further spurned you on.
Looking around over Rafael’s shoulder, you noticed people were too busy wrapped up in their own world, enjoying the gala’s festivities. Rafael’s back was to the gala, and so discreetly you reached down and rubbed his erection.
“Mierda,” Rafael groaned against your ear. “Do I need to remind you of penal code 245, Y/N? Can’t have the Manhattan ADA getting arrested.”
“Then let’s get out of here,” you murmured in Rafael’s ear. “Your place.”
****
The night should have ended with you in Rafael’s bed making love until the sun rose. Instead, you were fleeing his apartment; your face was red hot and your eyes were filled with tears. You could hear your name being shouted, but you didn’t dare turn around as you ran out of the apartment building onto the Park Avenue street.
You were humiliated. Shaking, you waved your hand wildly trying to signal a cab. Fortunately a cab came pretty quickly and you hopped in, ordering the cab to step on it.
Rafael approached the cab, but the door was already closed. He knocked on the winodw, pleading for you to not go. You looked at him, your face streaked with mascara and you shook your head. Rafael watched helplessly as the cab pulled away from the curb. He slumped down, his hands resting on his thighs as he tried to catch his breath from running down so many flights of stairs.
It was too late. You were gone. And Rafael could feel his own heart break.
TBC.

This Way..
Part V (and the Valentine’s Day special) of the “I’m Never Wrong” Series.
Erik x (Black!)Reader
Fic Playlist: Back in One Piece x DMX feat. Aaliyah, This Way x Khalid feat. H.E.R, Gonna Love Me x Teyana Taylor, You Got Me x The Roots feat. Erykah Badu
Warnings: ANGST, Violence, Erik done fucked up!
It had been over six months since your night off, and quite a bit has changed. You recently chose to work as the remote part time senior partner to spend more time with Leanna and JuJu, as you promised N’jadaka on your honeymoon. The two of you made a pact to be more involved in the family you were building. He vowed to transition from Wakandan Wardog to the Director of the Oakland Wakandan Outreach Center. In reality, N’jadaka was only home for about four months out of the year. One month for every season. When he left a month after your romantic night, he promised that it was his last mission and he’d only be gone for a month. One month turned into six. It was reminding you of the first year of your relationship when he returned from Wakanda. Except for now, you have paperwork and two children between you. Which fueled your anger on a different level.
Each day that passed after that promised month, Y/N’s resentment grew. It had been radio silence for five months, JuJu had learned to roll over, crawl, and even started standing on his own. N’jadaka missed all of those precious milestones. He and Y/N couldn’t even celebrate his birthday together the week prior to this one. This particular day, you cup runneth over. Leanna is on her worst behavior, talking back and being sassy. N’Juma was screaming all day at the top of his lungs due to his top two teeth coming in. You couldn’t even finish reviewing your junior partner’s briefings due to your children running amok in your house. You have had it. While Lee Lee was throwing all of her toys out of her bin, and JuJu was having a temper tantrum, you walked out on your porch.
You let out a scream and broke down. You were out of steam, out of options. Your ears pick up the sound of tires rolling up to your house. Since your home is the only one in the col du sac, whoever it is is either turning around or they’re parking. When you hear the engine die you lift your head to find a blacked out Suburban. Nakia emerges from the passenger seat, Ayo from the drivers side. You hold your breath, thinking the worst when you don’t see N’jadaka. You see the rear passenger door crack open, you let out a short sigh; still panicking because you can’t see who’s behind the tented windows. Those muddy steel toe boots hit the pavement your breathing find it’s normal pattern, then your eyes turn more red than they already are from your tears.
Erik gets out of the car, all smiles. That’s until he sees your bloodshot eyes and mean mug. His smiles disappear into a look of concern. You charge straight for him with your fists balled. You huff as you swing and your fist connect with his cheekbone. He reaches for your arm but your anger adds to your speed. Your other fist bangs against his nose. His head twists to the opposite side of your abuse as blood flies across your front yard. He gains control of your arms, ignoring his injuries. “Y/N, Y/N! Dammit! Calm down, woman!” You grunt at his demand, trying to free yourself from his hold. He grips your wrists tighter, “Our kids in there alone!? Ayo, Nakia, can y’all check on them please?”
The pair stand among you two in shock. Nakia taps Ayo’s side and they fall into the house. “I’ve been taking care of them day in and day out for over six months so excuse me for needing to take a fucking breather, N’Jadaka! Why didn’t you call? Why haven’t I heard from you!? I was starting to think you--” “You was starting to think I was dead?” “I was starting to think yo ass left! You’re so fucking selfish! I can’t even believe you right now. Hopping out of the car like you were gonna be met with kisses and hugs. Nigga fuck you!” You shove him with your shoulder, he surrenders and lets you go. You push the front door open, it slams against the wall; attention from your children, Ayo, and Nakia turns to you.
You make a beeline to your bedroom and you start stuffing clothes, toiletries, and shoes into your oversized backpack you fill it to the brim and grab your car key. You brush past your estranged husband to close your laptop and put that in its respective bag. “Where do you think you going?” “Away from you.” And with that, you turn you back and trail to your car. You hear N’jadaka’s heavy footsteps follow you, “Babe, can we talk about this? I’m so--” “Yeah I know, You’re sorry. You’re sorry as fuck. You let half a fucking year go by! You haven’t seen or heard from me. Let alone your daughter and son. You missed Leanna’s birthday! You’ve missed so fucking much with not even so much as a bullshit filled excuse as to why!” As he intends on interrupting you, you slap him clean across his cheek. “You had six months to talk and you didn’t. I’m about to say my peace before I peel out. I’ve highhandedly taken Leanna to and from school, battled her chicken pox and three colds she’s gotten, and put her in ballet in the six and a half months of your absence. I’ve watched N’Juma flourish. He went from babbling and slobbering to teething, crawling, and standing. The boy is damn near walking and you were nowhere to be found! You left me here with little to no help and support. I needed you! You neglected your responsibilities and didn’t make good on your promise which left me to pick up your slack!”
N’jadaka swipes his thumbs across your cheeks to wipe your tears but you push him away, “You ain’t shit for this ‘Ja. You really not. I’m out. I’ll be back whenever. Like you.” You push start your car and peel off with your tires screeching.
--
Erik’s POV
Lee Lee and JuJu were both screaming and crying at Y/N’s dramatic exit. I knew I had some explaining to do when I got home but, shit! I didn’t know I was gon come back to a couple of blows to my face(PAUSE). Now I’m in the middle of my living room, with two crying kids on my hip with my sore ass face.
I finally get my kids asleep and I start my search for my wife. I call up Shuri, “Hey cuzzo, are Y/N’s Kimoyo beads activated?” Shuri types some figures into her database before answering, “Yes. She’s traveling pretty fast. She may be on a flight.” “A flight!? Where?” Shuri gets to typing again, “Let’s cross check the San Fran International flights.. track the flight plans with her location.. Cousin?” “Yeah?” She pauses before continuing, “She’s coming here.” “Here, meaning, Wakanda?” “Yes.”
T’challa has allowed flights to come into our home country, exclusively for natives and their families. So Y/N actually going is a pleasant surprise. “Alright, bet. Tell ‘Cha I need the jet.” “N’Jadaka, maybe you should give her some time, eh?” “Shuri, maybe you shoooould mind your business, eh? Look I’ve gone six months without my wife. I need her to come home. Plus, it’s not gon be just me coming. The kiddos are tagging along too.” Shuri smiles at the suggestion, “Great! Mother has been dying to meet them!”
--
Y/N’s POV
“Good Morning ladies and gentlemen! We are now landing. Welcome to Wakanda!” The flight attendant graciously announces my arrival to N’jadaka’s home country. I haven’t been back here since the wedding. Since Leanna was too young to travel, she’s never been here and of course JuJu hasn’t either. I miss my babies, don’t get me wrong. But being with those two, caring for them day in and day out for that long, alone, took it’s toll on me. Mentally and physically. I need this vacation. This is the best place I thought about going in the midst of my rage. The clear port is next to the Golden city. I find my way to the center of the city to Shuri’s lab where it seems like she’s waiting.
“About time, Y/N!” She hugs me tight, “How are you?” “Uh, Shuri, how did you know I was coming?” She gives me a childish chuckle, “My cousin asked me to track you down. I knew you were coming about an hour after you took off.” I roll my eyes, “So he’s coming?” Her eyes wonder off as she turns back into her lab, “I do not know Y/N! But uhm, come on in. I wanna show you what I’ve been working on. And I’ll take those while I’m at it..” She rolls my Kimoyo beads off of my wrist, “Why? They work just fine.” “Ugh! You sound like T’challa! Just as I tell him. Just because something is working, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved.” Some contraption standing before us piques my interest, she begins explaining what it is. “This is what I’ve been working on. It’s a collection of vibranium bots. I got the Idea from that Disney movie, Big Hero 6. Leanna showed it to me! They’re about 300,000 microbots that can help improve the construction and infrastructure in major cities all over the world.” The microbots built a replica of T’Challa’s panther suit, a car, and finished off with a replica of the outside of Shuri’s lab. “Wow Ri, this is awesome!”
Shuri turns off the remote which controlled the bots in the form of a glove. “Thank you Y/N. It’s only in prototype stage right now. But.. once it’s ready for mass production, I’ll introduce it after opening the latest Outreach center in Brooklyn, New York City!” I’m truly impressed. Shuri is a kid genius. I surely hope Leanna takes after her since they are quite fond of one another.
“Cool! I’m sure you’ll be in the Forbes magazine, once again, on that invention alone. Anywho, how’s Queen Mother?” “Queen Mother is doing quite well, Y/N.” T’challa and Shuri’s mother appears from the front entrance. “Queen Mother.” I bow, she takes my hand to pull me upright, “Y/N, we are family. There’s no need to bow.” Ramonda gives me the warmest hug. I truly feel at home here. The people are beautiful, it’s like the colors are more vibrant. The sun rises and sets in a brighter tone. Maybe I should’ve made it here a long time ago.
I pursue Ramonda to the throne room as she asks, “Now child, what brings you to Wakanda? I know that American holiday for lovers is tomorrow. Where’s my nephew?” I’m trying to think of how to tell her what happened in a respectful manner. Even though we are technically family, I still want to reply in a courteous manner. “Well.. Er-- I mean, N’jadaka.. He said he was only gonna be gone for a month. A month was more like half a year. Plus, to be honest, I haven’t even thought about Valentine’s day.” Ramonda’s face furrows into one of amusement. “Maybe you should think about that Y/N, it may remind you and him why you fell in love to begin with. I am not sure why he would tell you when he would return. War dog missions have no set duration.” I stare out to the panoramic view of the Golden City, “He wasn’t supposed to be doing this forever either.” Ramonda hums in agreement, “Mhm. He’s spoken to T’challa about that mission being his last. He will be accepting the director position for Director of your home town’s Outreach center, yes?”
“I mean, yeah. I guess. He never told me any of that.” I let out a sigh “You never gave me the chance to explain, love.” Swinging around toward the door, I find N’jadaka standing in his typical at ease stance, force of habit from bring in the Navy. My mouth twitches to form a smile, but my thoughts correct me. “What are you doing here ‘Ja?” He plasters a smirk and shrugs, “I came to get my wife. What is my wife doing here?” “She came here to relax, to reflect. We can do that.” N’jadaka turns his lip up and nods, “Okay Y/N. As far as I can tell, you do need that. You damn sure deserve it.” I cross my arms, deeply amused at his response, “Ha! Ha! Oh, We, huh? What part of me leaving you with the kids you didn’t understand? What part of anything I told you has you misconstrued that got you to come here?”
He mirrors my movement, crossing his arms, “I don’t have anything misconstrued, Y/N. I get everything you said to me. I apologize for making you feel neglected, baby. I just didn’t wanna start anything by telling you it was gonna take a lot longer than I thought before I completed the mission. Next thing I knew, we had to go under the radar, and I couldn’t tell you.” “N’jadaka Erik Stevens-Udaku. How dare you! You left me to think whatever!” He grips me by my waist and pulls me to him, looking at me face to face, “I’m sorry for that. I’m sorry for it all. I think you should be here right now. You need some R&R, I get that. So, we’ll be spending Valentine’s Day here this year.”
“Ugh. Here you go with this we shit again!” Ramonda clears her throat, “I apologize..” ‘Ja whispers in my ear, “I don’t just mean me in the we..” I hear tiny footsteps close in, “Mommy! This place is so prettyyyy!” Leanna exclaims this to me while reaching her tiny arms as far as they can stretch to hug my legs. I bend down to meet the love that is my first born, “It is isn’t it?” She enthusiastically nods, “Yes! Baba said this is where he’s from, why don’t we live here?” He intercepts, “Le, we don’t live her because daddy and mommy have responsibilities to home.” I pick her up and nod, “Yeah, we both have jobs to do, lovebug. We’re always welcome to visit though.” Leanna jolts for joy and chants, “I wanna hang out with cousin RiRi! Where she at?!” Ramonda chimes in, “I’ll take you to her, she’s in her lab! Give mommy and daddy some time alone, eh?”
--
Erik leads me to the west wing of the palace where the Dora placed my bags at the door, “This is your room Y/N. Leanna, N’Juma, and I are gonna be on the other side of the palace.” “Okay, so are we gonna be separate the entire time?” He shushes me, “Damn, woman! No. But You did say you needed time to yourself. I’m giving you that! Tomorrow is Valentines day, I got a few things lined up for us to do with the kids and I got something special for you.. Just let me, okay?”
I open the door to my suite, my back to him I rebut, “Let’s just see how the day goes with the kids. Then I’ll tell you if I’ll let you or not.”
With that, I roll my belongings in with me and shut the door. Retiring to the room for the remainder of the evening.
--
I spent the ladder part of the night prior completing the brief reviews I had left before my huge blowup. I fell asleep after I completed my last one. It’s eerily quiet on this side of the palace. Yet, I am grateful for it. I woke up around seven AM with the strangest crook in my neck. I wince in agony, holding my neck where the source of pain resides. Shit! I must have slept wrong. I guess I can try to ease the pain with a hot bath. I plug my phone up to my beats pill and turn on my r&b playlist. Apple sure knows how to channel my mood because This Way by Khalid and H.E.R. begins playing, channeling all of yesterday’s energy into my morning.
You say I'm trippin', bullshit
You're the one to make me do shit
You're the one to make me feel it
The feeling of stupid
I was in your corner
When you were putting me through shit
Now you wanna leave
No, you leaving me was foolish
I sink lower the more my comfy bath as the song continues, my mind flashes back to N’jadaka’s abrubt return back home..
“You’re sorry as fuck. You let half a fucking year go by! You haven’t seen or heard from me. Let alone your daughter and son. You missed Leanna’s birthday! You’ve missed so fucking much with not even so much as a bullshit filled excuse as to why!”
Yeah, all of these excuses
Say I'm the one that made you ruthless
Well you're the reason I'm crazy
And with you, I feel useless
I let you have it
You took me for granted
Always wanna play the victim
When they don't know the truth is...
You left me this scar on my heart
When I'd never take it that far (oh)
Why would you say that it was true love
If true love is absolute, what more can I say?
My Kimoyo beads go off on my left wrist, I answer it. N’jadaka is on the other end, “Good morning baby.” “Good morning ‘Ja, how are you?” “He releases a heavy sigh, “Our kids are a handful, ma. N’Juma is still on west coast time so he’s sleep now. But he was up until the past hour. Leanna is a total diva. She doesn’t wanna get up, at all!” Poor Erik. He looks so defeated. He only got a night compared to my one hundred eighty-some odd nights of that. “Bribe her with breakfast ‘Ja. JuJu can only be sleep for the next hour or else you’ll have a repeat of last night so you may wanna get her breakfast like, ten minutes ago.” Something flies by his face when he shakes Leanna to wake her up, “Lil girl did you--Get up Leanna! It’s time for breakfast!”
“What’s the plan for today Stevens?” He goes away from the camera view, you hear him tell your eldest child to brush her teeth and wash her face before he comes back, “We’re gonna take the kids to meet W’kabi, Okoye, and the boarder tribe so they can see the rhinos, then we’ll make the trip up to Jabari land so they can play in the sn--” he looks in what I assumed to be where his bathroom was located to see if Leanna was being nosey. I guess the answer was yes because he spells out the next word, “S-N-O-W.”
They’ve never been in the snow with us living in California and all, so it’s really thoughtful that he wants the kids to have that experience in Wakanda. I just hope he takes my advice or we’ll be in for a long and trying day. “Sounds good ba..” The words of adornment almost slips through my teeth, his eyebrows hit the top of his forehead waiting for the rest of the word to drop, “--Sounds good N’jadaka. The kids should enjoy it. I’ll be out for breakfast in a bit.”
--
I stumble through the corridors in my robe and slippers, searching for the dining room. I feel like I’m walking in circles at this point. I hadn’t bumped into anyone and I haven’t seen anything resembling a kitchen or a dining room. I finally found some stairs so I descend to what looks like a foyer next to two huge ass doors, then I hear my daughter yelling, “Where’s mommy? You said she was gonna be down here!” I follow the bossy little voice to the dining room, “I’m sorry LeeLee. Mommy got lost in here it’s so big!” Ramonda and Shuri laugh, “Sorry cousin, I told N’jadaka I should’ve retrieved you.” Speak of the Devil, he comes into the area with a large plate of pancakes in one hand, and a pitcher of OJ in the other, “And I told you she would find her way. How you doing baby?”
I cradle my neck again, “I’m good, except for my neck. I think I slept wrong last night.” N’jadaka huffs, “You slept sitting up, working?” My eyes squint as I purse my lips, “Yes--” I mouth, ‘smartass’, then continue, “I did.” He leaves that where it is as Leanna goes on to talk about her lab time with Shuri, “We’re syncing her gloves to surge an--E--M--P?” She looks over at Shuri for agreement of her termenology, Shuri nods, “Yes, LeeLee. Which stands for?” Leanna looks up, deep in her thoughts, then she snaps, “Eeee--Electromagnetic Pulse.” My four year old is truly on her way to becoming a genius. I’m so proud, “Look at my little scientist!” Leanna glows at the praise, “Baba says I can help with cousin RiRi’s project at home at the center, right?” N’jadaka pops a strawberry in his mouth and nods at his baby girl’s query, “Absolutely. I just got the news, T’challa will offically name me as the director of the Oakland Wakandan Outreach Center before we leave. I start work the week after next.”
Ramonda embraces her nephew and congratulates him. Their relationship had come a long way since he left Wakanda seven years ago. They resented one another. She disliked him because of his quarrel with T’challa, he disliked the entire side of the family that neglected him after his Uncle killed his father, and she wasn’t excluded. Now, he’s closer with her than he is with T’challa or Shuri. She’s like a surrogate mother to him that he needs in his life to keep him balanced. He’s become a better man since reconciling his differences with her. “Congratulations N’jadaka. I’m happy for you.” He turns his attention to me, “I’m happy for us. This is what we’ve wanted since we’ve gotten married. It’s taken me longer than expected..but now I’m able to be closer to our family.” I look down, poking my fork at my piece of watermelon, “Yeah, you are.”

DJ Skilarioux talked to HAZARD Magazine about how music influenced her and where she plans on taking her talents in the near future.
HM: Thanks for letting HAZARD Magazine take a look into your world. Let’s start with you introducing yourself.
DS: Skylar McCall AKA DJ Skilarioux (sky-la-ru). A college student and music enthusiast born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida known as the ‘850’ or ‘T-Town’ and known for being the hometown of T-pain.
HM: Solid. When did you first discover your passion for music?
DS: Beginning with an interest in samples, my first found sample was Annie Lennox “No More I Love Yous”, the original of Nicki Minaj’s “Your Love”. I got bullied in middle school & high school because my taste in music, for someone my age, was eccentric. No one knew any girl in 2011 at 12 listening to Outkast ATLiens from front to back on her little iPod mini, it just wasn’t normal. I was different before it was a trend.
HM: Was music a big part of your childhood?
DS: Raised in Florida, my music influences were all dirty south legends and my mom was music head as well. I heard everything growing up being a jit, such as Trick Daddy, Trina, JT Money, Uncle Luke, Khia, 8ball & MJG, Camron, DMX, Wu-tang and mainly Outkast. I wouldn't have had a childhood without music especially 90s hip-hop.
HM: Who are your inspirations in the industry?
DS: I can say all my inspirations are my bros, they really show me what I'm doing is going to keep paying off. Plus female DJs,of course, like Princesscut, Ash B, Fourpointohh and Supastar who I met last semester!
HM: What has been your favorite or most memorable event to DJ at/for?
DS: My most memorable event would be a dance off I did in the MSC with the bro SayDallas. That event I really felt all the nerves I always had go away. Ever since then I been in my bag deep. Like going hard.
HM: You’re real life cold with it, too! Name your top 3 artist that you MUST have in rotation.
DS: Meek, Kodak and I really try to put my girls the CityGirls #FREEJT PERIOD! Its a FL thing.
HM: You got any mixes you want to put the readers on?
DS: My top mix would be my second slow one and my third first ever mix BACK2BIZNESS. I tried to be creative as possible on that project by using one of my favorite movies Baby Boy. Man, I did that. A legit babymaker.
HM: What do you have planned next?
DS: I plan on heading out more in the Houston scene this summer, dropping more mixes. My upcoming mix, I'm thinking straight twerk. I been getting into a lot of bounce culture lately and I love it,man.You can follow me on ALL my socials to keep up with YO MANS FAVORITE DJ! PERIOD!

Rapper’s Circle: Cube
{A group of rappers gather in a small room crowded with stiff plastic chairs collecting them into a group. A medium sized man in an over sized t-shirt, sideways hat and beard stands holding a clipboard to his chest.}
GFK: Hi, my name is Ghost Face Killer and welcome to ‘Rappers Circle’. The place where it’s safe to open up and talk about our feelings behind the music. Let’s go around and introduce ourselves and why we’re here.
{DMX stands up}
DMX: Yo, my name is DMX. My friend’s call me “X” and I’m a multi-platinum rap artist that believes yelling instructions on songs creates hits.
GFK: Thank you, X.
{GFK 😉}
GFK: I say “X” because we’re all friends here. Next.
{Ice Cube stands up}
Ice Cube: Hi, my name is Ice Cube.
GFK: I’m sorry?
{Ice cube 😔}
Ice Cube: I said, Hi! My name is Ice Cube.
DMX: Why?
Ice Cube: Cause I’m a cold motherfucker!
DMX: Oh, Ice Cubes!
Ice Cube: No, singular.
GFK: Singular?
{DMX leans to Ghost Face and whispers}
DMX: Room temperature Koolaid can melt a single ice cube.
GFK: Ok, Ice Cube and what brings you here?
Flashback: Ice Cube raps the hardest verse of all the members in N.W.A. Upon saying his name in the song and the concert venue literally begins to fall apart sending everyone into panic and confusion as to why such a fantastic rapper would choose such a minimal and senseless name.
Jump forward fifteen years...
{Professors of Yale, Berkeley and NYU study what the psychology behind the name choice was.}
Ice Cube: I, uh. I guess, I’m here to learn about who I really am. I joined NWA so young and all I really knew was South Central LA. Now that I’m better traveled I see the world is so much bigger than a single Cube. I want to grow, you know? Over plateaus and plains, the coldest motherfucka, get to know the name! The mountain slayer of Yemen, the Swiss base jumper, them hills look like titties and now I want to hump her! Sorry, ya’ll...
{GFK 😌}
GFK: Don’t be sorry, Cube. Flowing dope shit is what brings us together.
DMX: Like a Rubik’s cube.
GFK: Seemingly, simple... but complex; fitting. Welcome, Ice Cube.
{All the rappers in unison: Welcome, Ice Cube.}
