Kenny Beats is a hip-hop producer who’s been making beats and producing songs for other artists since 2010. He’s got a long list of collaborations, with rappers like Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs, and Denzel Curry. In 2022, he did something he wasn’t really ever expecting to do, which was to release an album of his own. The album is called Louie, and it’s a tribute to Kenny’s father.
I talked to Kenny about the song “Still,” the first song he made specifically for this project. It features guest vocals from JPEGMafia and Omar Apollo, and a sample from gospel singer Linda Kemp. Louie includes a lot of tracks where you can hear Kenny’s dad’s voice, and even though "Still" isn’t one of them, as Kenny explains, his relationship with his dad is embedded in the song’s DNA.

Saw this the same night as „Dinosaurus!“ at the cinema. Much much betterproduction, though. This got introduced as a „Jaws“ in the woods. Andthis is pretty spot on – minus the class of „Jaws“ maybe. While thishas quite a few weaknesses in dialogue and plot, this was overall asolid movie – if you‘re into trashy old school horror movies that is.
It was a fun experience seeing this together with friends at the cinema.And it had scenes that reminded me of Jurassic Park and Pulp Fiction.Here and there, it certainly had its moments. But man was this oldschool. Trashy and gimmicky. And not something I am used to seeinganymore. I somehow like that I had this experience; but at the sametime, I do not need to have it again any time soon.

After watching “The Queen’s Gambit”, I got interested in chess again. I played a little bit when I was a kid, but never much or in any serious fashion. And so, recently, I created an account on Lichess.org.
Not only did Zoe learn how to ski, she also learned how to film videos while doing so.
We went on a one-week ski holiday, and Zoe was so confident by the end of it, that I had difficulties following her. ;-)
