EPR Artist Radio  Original article by Music Biz Academy  link Over the years I have had many conversations with music artists about commercial music, which usually leads to them disclosing their disdain and hatred of it. Some refer to pop music (pop, as in what’s popular now) as commercial music. Others think of anything that is receiving heavy rotation on radio as commercial music. Whatever their definition, one thing is often overlooked: commercial music is the heart of the music industry which pumps the blood that keeps it alive. So why then are so many music artists resistant to making commercial music?

I was a poet, but I didn't realize how much potential I had back then. Over time, I turned my poetry into raps. Because I have seen how much money can be made off rap, I prepped myself just in case this day happen. 3. Can you describe your music? First, let me say Lil Wayne is my favorite rapper of all time. He motivated me into what you would call metaphors. They can be difficult at first, but over time it gets easier. It's like breaking down a stone with a pickax, turning it into cement.( Easy flow) lol. For example... "Rollin up that sticky/smoking on some fire/ different color weed/call that tie-dye Different color weed/ call that tie-dye ."  Which tie-dye is a hippie shirt, designed in the seventies with all kinds of colors. I love how the seventies was, but unfortunately, I'm a eighties

The abbreviation stands for High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program and began in 1993. The ionospheric research takes place in Alaska and has been rumored to have fantastic abilities, such as weather control and even mind control. I am going to explore the ten things you need to know about H.A.A.R.P. 1.) Weather Control:     Attempts to change and control the weather have been underway since the 1950’s.(Link 1) Imagine the possibilities: You could make it rain during times of famine, you could divert a hurricane or tornado away from populated areas, or you could increase or decrease the concentration of a particular molecule, like nitrogen or ozone.        However, the same technology that can create such benefits can also be used by nefarious people for much

Monsters Of The Southern U.S. Written by Jasen Keplinger      Monsters have always been part of the folklore in the southern United States. I grew up in the south so I remember most of the monsters discussed here in our countdown. So sit back, relax, and be prepared to learn about ten of the most mysterious monsters of the south. 1) The Fouke Monster       The Legend of Boggy Creek launched a southern monster into the spotlight in 1972.(Link 1) Interest in the Fouke Monster was rekindled in the 1970s as a result of a number of cattle being seemingly slaughtered and eaten in the town of Fouke, Arkansas. (Link 2) Described as hairy and having a distinctive stench, the beast was described as being a circa seven feet tall bipedal humanoid with eyes the size of silver dollars. The movie points out that the alleged monster only has three toes, which separates him from the typical five toes left by similar creatures.      The 1970s weren’t the first time the creature was report
