Johnys Week 5: Her Loss




Drake and 21 Savage, 2 of the world's most beloved artists have teamed up to release a surprise album titled “Her Loss” on October 28th, 2022; Halloween weekend. This is arguably the most exciting moment of the year for rap fans and the general music community. Every single time Drake and 21 Savage have come together to make a record, it’s been a hit. Rap fans have been absolutely loving this duo and the announcement of this collab project just a week before its release date has the world thrilled.


In the past decade, trap music has risen to dominate the Rap/Hip-hop scene, with its biggest artists constantly at the top of the billboard. Artists like Future, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Baby, and 21 Savage are among the greats of the trap scene, and some of the world's most listened-to artists. However, it’s not frequent that we get a collab project among the stars. We’ve got a few, but there has only been one project that presented such an iconic time in music. That project was “What A Time To Be Alive” by Drake and Future. Just like the upcoming “Her Loss,” What a Time To Be Alive came out of nowhere. With a last-second announcement and barely any marketing, this project dropped out of the blue; this was very unusual for artists with so much caliber to their name. Regardless, this album was played absolutely everywhere. It’s considered to be the greatest collaboration project in rap history and is talked about to this day. “Her Loss” announcement is just as unexpected. Drake had just dropped his last album “Honesty, Nevermind” 4 months ago, and to release another album so soon is unusual timing for Drake as he typically waits at least 1-3 years before another project release. On top of this, a couple of days before the announcement, 21 Savage commented a cap emoji (meaning not true) under a post on Instagram that made a speculation that there was a collab album in the works with the two. This threw everyone off even more and made the announcement even more surprising. With 3 more days until the album officially releases, I'm extremely excited to see what the two have in store for the world with this project. 


Will you be tuning into the album on Friday?

    I probably won't tune in. Rap music isn't my favorite music genre. However, it is pretty cool that you are so interested in it!

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
