Cue Henry Cavill‘s shotgun arms! To the surprise of absolutely no one, Mission: Impossible – Fallout absolutely dominated the box office this weekend, exceeding expectations to take in $61.5 million in its first-weekend debut. The numbers are good enough for a franchise high—the film hauled in $6 million more in its opening weekend than Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, which went on to earn a $195,042,377 domestic gross—and the second best opening gross of Tom Cruise‘s 35-year career, behind only Steven Spielberg‘s War of the Worlds ($64.9 million, not adjusted for inflation).

No Stranger To controversy; Kanye West has become a black sheep of Rap in many ways, talented as Holly Hell but very few artist want to touch him. No matter your thoughts on the virulent artist; his skill set his still widely appreciated it. Enjoy
What It Sound Like?
We meet the middle of the week with goals for the weekend. Keeping us entertained on the way there is a familiar All Nighter who gets the job done. Welcome back Mercedez Miller, a royal return.
Tonight we get into an artist that writes her own lines, records her own tracks over beats of her own. This particular beat is monstrous, one can't help but feel Superior. She continues to reign with slick bars, original flow, and prowess.
Mercedez sound is so unique with diverse musical influences. She kept a subtle approach to her recent hit, as the rhymes creep up on you. The hook is easy to sing along to, find yourself humming it later! This is a dope single to a promising upcoming mixtape. Of course, you must hear for yourself. I got you covered.

Pride Of Taranna Series Pt. 19: Sonic Boom #5-8: Miles Davis – Eight Classic Albums 4CD
I got this 4CD set of 8 Miles Davis albums for $12.99!!! And I’ve been walking around the neighbourhood, and playing this stuff in the house and car, for days now, just listening to nothing but Miles and I have to tell you, it makes the world a beautiful place…
Alright this post is a whopper, so I’ll try to keep it short enough. Just know there’s a ton more information out there on the interwubs about all of these albums. Also, the short version of my opinion of all four discs is WAHOO!, but I know you wanna know a bit more, so, here’s what’s on this set:
CD1
First we have Blue Period (1951, released 1953), all of it stellar. And then Kind Of Blue (1959). I know, right? Like, how many times have I played that album? Does it matter? PLAY IT AGAIN!
CD2
First up is Young Man With A Horn (1952), which was Miles’ second studio album. Wiki says at this time he was struggling with his heroin addiction so this was his only output that year. All I can say is the tracks here are stunning and show no sign of trouble. This is followed by the Workin’ album (1956). Let me list the players here and, in this way, you’ll know what I thought of it: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. Exactly.
CD3
We start with Miles Davis Volume 2 (1953), which is more tracks from the session at Blue Note which also yielded Young Man With A Horn (see CD2). The session included players like Kenny Clarke, Art Blakey, J.J. Johnson, and Horace Silver (among many), so it’s just frickin’ gorgeous. All of this is followed by the Steamin’ album (recorded 1956, released 1961), and uses the same brilliant quintet as Workin’ (see CD2). Again, just gorgeous, especially their run through of Monk’s Well, You Needn’t. Oh my.
CD4
This disc opens with Miles Davis Volume 3 (1954), which was the last session for Blue Note, a quartet with Miles Davis, Horace Silver, Percy Heath, and Art Blakey. Right? I mean COME ON. They did Well, You Needn’t here, too. Those six tracks on Vol.3 are followed by Collectors Items (1956), the result of two sessions that year which used different musicians. Sonny Rollins and Charlie Parker appear on tracks here, as well as other names like Tommy Flannagan, Walter Bishop, and Art Taylor that jazz fans will know. By reports I read, Parker was drinking A LOT of alcohol at this point, and the sessions were difficult. It ended up being a posthumous release for Parker, as it dropped a year after his death. The tunes, though, are glorious, including a bunch of Davis compositions, as well as Monk’s ‘Round Midnight, and Dave Brubeck’s In Your Own Sweet Way.
In Sum:
Wow. Just… wow.
