Today marks a sad yet respected day for millions of fans across the world. Time flies and it has been one year since the death of the late, great Whitney Houston, “the pinnacle of what it means to be a pop princess”. A voice, a smile, a face and personality that could light up any room with her infectious vocal ability, or her tenacious and charismatic ora. The Bio Network has released a video biography of the singers career lifetime, highlighting the best moments and stand out achievements thus far. Check it out after the jump!

How amazing of a project is this? This Saturday, February 2nd, Lifetime Network will premiere Betty & Coretta starring the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul Mary J. Blige, and the incomparable Angela Bassett.

Rapidly approaching is a great season, specifically belonging to the African-American community and that is Black History Month. The entire month of February dedicated to African-American way-pavers, entrepreneurs, activists, fighters and people who helped put the disgusting act of segregation to rest through triumph and success. The Jordan brand is indulging in this month and has decided to drop a release sneaker package called the “Black History Month Sneaker Collection” (BHM). The collection reveals some fresh neon shades of lime green, blue and black accented with splatter paint and in the form of the famous Spiz’ike, Jordan 1, and the Jordan x Carmelo M9. The kicks aren’t available for purchase yet outside of the Melo M9, but will be soon and done with such great intention that we had to show love. What do you think? Will you be rocking these during Black History Month?  Sneaker Watch!

Black History Month Celebration is still live and well!  This time it comes from Harlem-native and Cam’Ron protégé, Vado.  “I See You (Black People)” calls for fists in the air, takes on some issues in the African-American community, and a few of his own personal struggles.  It’s a breath of fresh air from the back-to-back club anthems we’re so used to hearing, so peep the video directed by Jonah Schwartz and remember to pay homage to the deserving month.  Does the song give the month its just due?
