JAVIIELO DEBUTS “SANTUARIO”

ALONG WITH THE SINGLE “BYE” FT. OMY DE ORO

STREAM “SANTUARIO” HERE

Puerto Rican urban breakthrough artist Javiielo released his debut album Santuario along with the single “BYE” featuring Omy De Oro. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

Excitement around Javiielo has never been higher with the latest release of his new 21 song album Santuario, cementing the young Puerto Rican’s place amongst Latin urban music’s elite. Led by the track “Bye” ft. Puerto Rican rapper Omy de Oro, Santuario takes listeners on a raw and emotional journey about heartbreak, love, and life’s ups and downs. The featured single, “Bye” is a sexy song about courting a woman who seems unattainable due to her beauty and attributes, yet in the end Javiielo is confident enough to win her over with his smooth talk and seductive compliments.

The music visualizer, directed by Ness.PR, is as sexy as the song, showing Javiielo at a house party with his friends dancing, drinking and vibing out. The party-starter track illustrates Javiielo‘s musical diversity showing he can make a club hit with as much addictive potency as his love songs.

With silky smooth vocals and a danceable reggaeton beat, “La Nota” featuring Brray, Joyce Santana, and Nekxum sets the tone for the start of the album, as they talk about having a good time and being with a woman. In “365” Javiielo declares his love for a woman, as he’s always talking about her at home, in the studio, in other countries, and misses her as he dreams about her everyday. In “En Read” Javiielo’s vocals create a clear melodic tone as he sings about having one night with a lover, but wanting another although the situation is complicated. Javiielo further explores a complicated situation in “Incompatibles” ft. Giglo y La Exce & Nekxum when he sings, “When I’m with another I think of you more // When you leave, I’m dying to have you” but this time he is emotionally exhausted and ready to move on, despite still missing his lover. He talks about being healed but not over the relationship, singing “We descended from heaven into an abyss.”

Santuario comes after the release of his last three singles, which totaled over 10M+ streams. With this new album, Javiielo is looking to replicate the success of the last collaboration and smash hit remix of his song “Pa Los Gustos Los Colores” which generated over 100M+ plays worldwide. With the excitement of his album release, Javiielo is set to perform his new music at the Monitor Latino Music Awards on November 30th.

Dimmitt is also a pillar of the business community in the Tampa Bay area.

Over the years, Lawrence has been involved in other business ventures in real estate and banking and has served on the board for numerous organizations. He is currently serving on the board of directors for Bok Tower Gardens and on the board of the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust.

Lawrence enjoys his volunteer time with The Salvation Army. In the past, he has been a volunteer with numerous organizations including the Clearwater Free Clinic, the Audubon Society, Hunter Blood Center and the local chapter of the National Automotive Safety Council. Lawrence especially enjoyed his time coaching his son Lawrence Hundley Dimmitt IV in the youth soccer league at the Belleair Recreation Center.

Before taking over the dealership, Lawrence, as the 3rd generation GM Dealer, earned a degree in Economic Theory from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. He then served in the United States Marine Corps. After that, Lawrence attended Emory University in pursuit of a Masters Degree in Business Administration. But before graduation, he was called home by his father in 1972 to take charge of Dimmitt Chevrolet.

Dimmitt married his high school sweetheart, Genevieve Lykes Dimmitt. He enjoys spending time with his wife, “Vevie” and his three daughters, Mallory, Elizabeth, and Genevieve. Together they enjoy hiking and kayaking. Lawrence and his family enjoy travel both foreign and domestic and believe it is an important way to continue their education in history, art and the environment.

ABOUT QUINN XCII

Quinn XCII (pronounced Quinn Ninety-Two) is the kind of person you root for. He’s a very grateful husband and an endlessly loyal friend. He goes through shitty days and good days (just like the rest of us do), but he writes about them both in his music without filter or pretense. Despite “making it” (he hates that turn-of-phrase, by the way!), he doesn’t put himself on a pedestal whatsoever. Rather, he acts, speaks, and sings with the approachability of the guy who just gave you his spot in the checkout line or waited for the next elevator. Back in 2015, Quinn XCII emerged with a disarmingly catchy and dynamic personal style of his own punctuated by alternative nuances and unexpected (yet undeniable) pop prowess. He has earned successive Platinum singles, including “Kings of Summer” with ayokay, “Straightjacket,” and “Love Me Less” with MAX. In addition, he has a handful of Gold singles, including “Flare Guns” feat. Chelsea Cutler, “Another Day In Paradise,” “Stacy,” and “Always Been You.” During 2021, his album Change of Scenery II captured #1 on the Apple Pop Chart and #1 on the Spotify US Debut Album Chart. Simultaneously, he ignited anthems alongside Logic, blackbear, Chelsea Cutler, Jeremy Zucker, Ashe, Louis The Child, Gryffin, Illenium, and more. Not to mention, he has sold out headline tours coast-to-coast, selling over 350,000 tickets as a headliner, and graced the stages of festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Firefly, Governors Ball, Summerfest, and Electric Forest. Beyond applause from Billboard, Rolling Stone, Paper Magazine, and Interview Magazine, he lit up television shows, including Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Live with Kelly and Ryan, The Today Show, and more. Now, he kicks off his next chapter with his new singles for Republic Records, “Backpack” and “Common” feat. Big Sean, taken from his forthcoming fifth-studio album The People’s Champ, out January 27^th.

Want to Learn a Foreign Language? Here Are Some Ways to Do It

One of the simple joys of life is learning a new language. While there’s a lot of adventure to be had in learning a new language, it honestly is a very challenging feat to accomplish and takes a lot of determination and mental energy. Learning a new language is a skill that will help develop so many great things about a person.

It will help them develop character because it takes a long time and the path is often fraught with mistakes and lessons learned the hard way. It also helps them understand the human experience from a completely new angle because language is more than just communication; it’s culture and experience all wrapped up into one!

If you have been wondering how to learn Chinese, or any other language, like Spanish or French, then there are a lot of answers out there for you. When it comes to learning new languages, humans have been doing this for centuries, and thanks to technology, there are now new fun and engaging ways to learn. So whether you want to learn Chinese or Portuguese, here are some great ways to get started and some things you need to know right off the bat!

Count the Cost

The first thing you need to know about learning a new language is that this is not an endeavor for the faint of heart. Learning a new language is more than just memorization, although you should be very prepared to start memorizing a whole lot! It’s about learning how to rewire parts of your brain and understand a completely new form of communication.

This can be a challenge for some people more than others, as language learning can be a natural talent; however, being able to move from basic understanding to fluency can take anywhere from three months to two years of studious discipline and application. So much of language is also tied up into culture and nuance; to really learn a language, you have to learn an entire people group. This can represent even more commitment and investment into the language learning process.

If you are a student looking to add on an elective, then learning a language through high school and college can be a great way to naturally have discipline in your life. However, if you are an adult wanting to learn a new language for your own enjoyment, this could be a costly process. Not just in time, effort, and mental capacity, but also in exposure as traveling to the country of the language you speak is a great way to learn, but not cost-effective.

Here are some methods that you should consider when looking into the question of learning a new language:

Take Advantage of the Apps

In today’s modern day and age, there are a plethora of great apps with quite a few being free of charge that can give you an introductory taste into language learning. These apps are not by any means good material for serious learners, but they are a great resource for anyone who is curious.

They can help give insight into the particular depth and challenge that certain languages hold. Not only that, but they can be a good proving ground for your own determination. For example, if you want to see if you are serious about learning a language, download a free language learning app and see if you can complete a free course. If you succeed, this might be an endeavor that’s worth taking to the next step.

Get a Teacher

For serious language learners, getting a teacher is an irreplaceable resource. Thankfully, this is where technology really broadens the scope of possibilities and makes getting a fluent teacher more accessible than ever. Thanks to one-on-one online teaching services, you can find a fluent speaker to give you personalized lessons.

The reason that a teacher is so invaluable when it comes to language learning is that they can offer unique corrections and tailor the lesson plan to the learner.

Find Opportunities to Immerse

Immersion is a technique by which a person wanting to learn a new language will surround themselves with native speakers. A lot of times, this process is confusing at the beginning as it’s not uncommon for the learner to not have a firm enough grasp to understand much. However, this allows the learner’s ears to start to get used to the proper pronunciation and cadence of words.

This can be tricky for some people depending on where they live. If they don’t naturally have a population of that language-speaking group nearby, it may not be a viable form of learning.

Don’t Give Up!

The path to learning a second language is challenging, but it’s well worth it! Not only will you expand your knowledge of the world, but you will also grow in confidence that you can achieve things even when they are deeply challenging.

DADDY YANKEE – LEGENDADDY

ABOUT DADDY YANKEE

As a culture creator, game changer, agent of change, and groundbreaker, Daddy Yankee has consistently inspired, impacted, and influenced generations of creators. An indisputable icon, he remains one of the most influential artists of all time, bringing reggaeton worldwide for the first time. Latin music and culture would not look, sound, or feel the same without him. It’s hard to even imagine the genre itself without “Gasolina,” “Despacito” [with Luis Fonsi], or “Con Calma” [with Snow], and more.

Since 1995, he has consistently conquered charts, toppled records, and made history on his own terms. The magnitude of his accolades proves nearly impossible to match or exceed. Living up to the title of “King of Reggaeton,” he has moved north of 30 million records as “one of the best-selling Latin music artists of all-time.” Out of hundreds of awards, he has scored five Latin GRAMMY® Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, 14 Billboard Latin Music Awards, two Latin American Music Awards (including the Icon Award), eight Lo Nuestro Awards, an MTV VMA, and six ASCAP Awards in addition to earning a spot on the Puerto Rican Walk of Fame and the“Presencia Latina” at Harvard University. He also stands out as “the only Latin Artist with four Spanish-language entries on the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100.” He received “Songwriter of the Year” three times at the 2021 ASCAP Latin Music Awards and distinguished himself as “the first urban Latino artist to enter the Billboard Hall of Fame.”

Most importantly, he runs and leads his charity “Daddy’s House,” which Billboard commended with the Spirit of Hope Award.

After changing the face of Latin music forever, he leaves on the highest note possible in 2022 with his twelfth full-length offering and final album, LEGENDADDY, brought to life with his farewell tour, LA ÚLTIMA VUELTA (The Last Round). The album combines the essence of Reggaeton with salsa, dancehall, rap, trap bachata, EDM, and Caribbean music like never before.

DJ KHALED – GOD DID

GLOBAL ICON DJ KHALED NOMINATED FOR SIX 2023 GRAMMY® AWARDS

IN TOP CATEGORIES SUCH AS “BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR,” “BEST RAP ALBUM,” & MORE

NEW ALBUM GOD DID OUT NOW

Another one! Global mega-star DJ Khaled has once again risen to the top of the game with six nominations at the 2023 GRAMMY® Awards. He has earned a total of 10 nominations throughout his career to date. The 2023 GRAMMY® Awards airs live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA on February 5! He has also notably tied Future for most rap category nominations this year.

Leading across categories, he picked up three nods for “GOD DID” [feat. JAY-Z, Fridayy, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, & John Legend], including “Song of the Year,” “Best Rap Song,” and “Best Rap Performance.” His most lauded work to date, GOD DID, also snags a nomination for “Best Rap Album.” He scored a nod in the category “Best Melodic Rap Performance” for “Beautiful” [feat. SZA & Future]. Plus, he emerges in the biggest category of the night, garnering a nomination for “Best Album of the Year” for his contribution to Mary J Blige’s Good Morning Gorgeous [Deluxe].

Stay tuned for more from DJ Khaled as always!

Earlier this year, Khaled captured #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with his thirteenth full-length studio album, GOD DID [We The Best Music Group/Epic Records]. It stood out as his fourth career #1 debut on the Top 200 and fifth straight #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.

Get GOD DID—HERE.

The album has arrived as a cultural milestone in its own right. Stretching past the eight-minute mark, the title track “GOD DID” [feat. Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, JAY-Z, John Legend, & Fridayy] has sparked an important conversation. As part of a special report for MSNBC, Ari Melber host of The Beat broke down JAY-Z’s four-minute verse as a cogent and cohesive analysis on the failures of the prolonged generational drug war framed through the icon’s own journey embodied in the rhyme, “cocaína into champagne.“ However, it didn’t stop there. Khaled, JAY-Z, Melber, and journalist Rob Markman engaged in this discourse publicly on Twitter Spaces. JAY-Z went one step further and uploaded Melber’s initial report as “HOV DID” on all streaming platforms. Rolling Stone and People have chronicled this chain of events, and the conversation continues. However, it all started on “GOD DID.”

Meanwhile, “Use This Gospel (Remix) [feat. Kanye West, Emimen (prod. by Dr. Dre & The ICU)] bowed at #1 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs Chart and Hot Christian Songs Chart—Khaled’s first #1 entries on the respective charts.
