Mostly music, commercial trucking, & real estate, but I do a lot.

Larry June's new album "Who Coppin" just became the highest charting album of his career at #29 on the Billboard 200 Charts.

His first album came out in December 2010 - almost 16 years ago! 1.5 decades later and his career is peaking.

He has over 12 solo albums and a dozen more collab projects.

No viral TikTok moment...he just stayed consistent, developed a strategy, and never stopped while making great art and building a brand.

His career is an amazing example of the compounding effects of working hard over a long period of time.

Have patience - it takes time! What an amazing career.

Browns GM Andrew Berry came out moments ago to give Delpit the good news. He’s practicing now. Short hold-in over.

Man, I know some people are over LeBron, but this is really the dopest superstar athlete story in my lifetime. Hyped to hell and still surpassed every single expectation folks had for him.

Nipsey Hussle's Marathon Clothing launches a new clothing brand titled Prolific.

The late rapper's estate announced the latest move on Monday (July 27). The new brand will feature T-shirts and hoodies with photographic images from throughout Nipsey Hussle’s career. "Transforming defining moments into a collection of graphic apparel that honors his enduring influence and evolution as a cultural icon," according to a press release.

“The family is proud to present the PROLIFIC brand,” says the estate. “Every piece was created with intention, using moments that reflect who Nipsey was and what he stood for. We’re proud to finally share this collection with the world.”

The new brand arrives ahead of the release of Nipsey's joint project with Bino Rideaux, Prolific, which arrives on Aug. 14.

$255,000 a year is the new $100,000.

In 1990, a $100,000 salary had the same buying power as $255,000 today.

Today, you need to earn $255,000 to afford what a $100,000 salary bought in 1990.

Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.

Insane. (Prices via @TickPick)

It’s crazy to think this is a person who suffered a dislocated ankle and broken fibula just 7 months ago.

Hats off to Quinshon Judkins for the work he’s done to get back and ready for the season 💪

Not upset at LeBron for his decision.

Upset at Koby’s decision to put all of his offseason on LeBron’s decision.

24 years into any career, being able to still make headlines at this level. You gotta respect it!

LeBron James has nothing left to prove; still looking to push the boundaries. This is super inspiring!
