It was a hot September night in Riverside California. On the campus of the University. The party in the Recreation Center had just let out. Although I wasn’t a member of the student body yet. I knew how to navigate my way through the front door. I was smiling so if any girlie looking my way would catch the shine coming from my mouth. My teeth were still adjusting to the custom mold from the gold grill equipped with fangs and diamond cuts I had just picked up earlier that week. I’d been waiting two weeks for it to be ready. When we met she had a rainbow colored Mohawk. Big framed sunglasses with gold outlines. Similar to The Cazal shades that only the dopest would rock. My initial thought was “fucc yes!” She’s punk rock just like myself. What I admired and loved most about her was that she was comfortable with her expression. We exchanged math. I knew the rules but was like “fucc it” instead of waiting 3 to 7 days I’m hitting her tonite. I called she answered. The conversation was flowing until I asked “if she was into blac guys”. In that moment I knew I fucced up cuz she hung up in my face. Over the years she has allowed me to redeem myself. Whether it was dessert on a Friday night at Denny’s. Or depending on what I was making for dinner that night. We would even pluck our guitars making sounds together. She taught me the strings and cords being my first and only guitar lessons. She still allows me to redeem myself. She’s always been ahead of it all. I said all of that to say this. Meet one of my cherished buds. Stephanie West Adams. The Creator of Good Garbage Clothing. West Made.

Chef Leen won the Chopped Episode “Luck of the Irish” she is returning to the Food Network again 21 April 2020 for The Champions Round. Make sure to tune in to see what she dishes up!

She’s a Queen. I first used to run into Maya at the Vibe on University Ave in Riverside, California. I could tell she was shy while still being fierce and bold at the same time. So I would just smile and say hello. I then started running into Maya at the KGB house. She was a little more open at those times. She has been on her grizzly bear! I’ve seen this Queen put her crown on and decorate it with her own jewels. Salute and Respect HER! She’s a Golden Queen for real for real!

This shop is run by skateboarders for skateboarders. I’m blessed to have been welcomed to the Original Crooks Family shortly after the shop opened in 2001. Allen allowed for Hip-Hop History to be made behind the doors when the shop was closed and sometimes while the doors were open for business. Not only once but twice! The albums Rastamerika by Thrive DaSun and The Slumpers LP by Kasino Gang was recorded at Crooks Skateshop in Riverside, California.

How does cannabis kill cancer cells?

Peace God. Peace Queen. Peace Earth.

Yes. It is substance. Yes. It’s culture. It does matter.

To be selfless to me is the same as being ego less. With that being said, it’s easier to put others first. Before ones own self. In doing so, expecting nothing in return is the reward. Those returns and rewards are bountiful especially when they come back as a surprise when not expecting or asking. Jelani is selfless and ego less. Jelani embodies Hip-Hop and the Culture that is full of Substance. Meet this 95 Golden Substance & Culture Hometown Hero. Brotha Jelani ✊🏾

The beauty of simplicity. As an individual, as an artist, as a fan and student of music. I learned to let my love and passion be the navigator along this journey. Complications may arise when communicating with a total stranger online. However trust is and can be built when your word is your bond. Meet Lauriana Mae.

Media saturates, mimics, critics, and makes fun of the African Diaspora everyday globally. Ninety-Five Golden is only here for Substance & Culture. My friends do dope shit. Ninety- Five Golden is their platform for you to all see, witness and connect. Cross over this bridge where knowing the ledge is key. Before walking through this door make sure you have your essential tools for the proper projection and levitation. My challenge to the reader is if you like what you see or read. Take it a step beyond to find that shirt, hat, or song from that artist. This is that bomb home grown in my backyard and beyond that you’ve all been smelling. I’d like to thank you for reading. God Bless and enjoy.
