5 Ways to Keep Your Furry Friends WARM this Winter Jhantu Randall reviews Bing Bing’s Beautiful Struggle mixtape

Avoid Immoral Women 1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel.

2 Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you’ve learned.

3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.

4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double -edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.[a] 6 For she cares nothing about the path to life.

She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.

7 So now, my sons, listen to me.

Never stray from what I am about to say: 8 Stay away from her!

Don’t go near the door of her house!

9 If you do, you will lose your honor and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.

10 Strangers will consume your wealth, and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.

11 In the end you will groan in anguish when disease consumes your body.

12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!

If only I had not ignored all the warnings!

13 Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?

Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?

14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin, and now I must face public disgrace.”

15 Drink water from your own well — share your love only with your wife.[b] 16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets, having sex with just anyone?[c] 17 You should reserve it for yourselves.

Never share it with strangers.

18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.

Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.

Let her breasts satisfy you always.

May you always be captivated by her love.

20 Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman, or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?

21 For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.

22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.

23 He will die for lack of self -control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness.

Proverbs 5 for December 5 th , 2018

A Message from Mistah Wilson Hello and thank you for checking out ThaWilsonBlock Magazine Issue79. This week, we didn’t have a local artist cover stor y. Instead, we decided to feature a pupp y dog on the cover, a move we’ve been wanting to do since Issue10’s Lion, Issue14’s Horse, and Issue16’s Orca.

You ma y have noticed that we featured Proverbs (Cha pter 5) from the Hol y Bible. We chose to do this in honor of The Lord Jesus Christ. To help our readers understand who WE are and the virtues we hold firm. For the longest of time, this publication has ser ved as a medium for local artists to express themselves through exclusive inter views , arts , & creativity. Although, we love this work, we strongl y feel that simpl y of fering a platform for expression is just not enough.

We believe in honesty, integ rity, respect, courtesy & mindfulness. These are things of the World that we find to be ‘good’. Since I, the publisher, does the work of a full staf f , I am spread quite thin. With that being said, I have a social responsibility with thawilsonMA G to send positive messages , encouragement, and words of wisdom. Good fr uit that can onl y stem from the Almighty Creator.

Admittedl y, I am far from perfect. But, going forward, I’d like our readers to know where I stand as a believer in Jesus Christ. And I am cur rentl y looking for wa ys that this beloved publication can honor our Father in Heaven.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and view yet another g reat issue of ThaWilsonBlock Magazine. We’ve come too far to tur n back now. Blessings to all!

-Mistah Wilson

5 Ways to Keep Your Furry Friends WARM this Winter 1. Inside is the place to be! Never leave your dogs or cats outdoors. If they get too cold or wet, they can get sick, just like you!

2. Keep your pets hydrated! Trying to stay warm will take up a lot of your pet’s energy. Make sure there is always fresh water available for your animals! Your pet will need extra food during the winter months, too!

3. Dress for the season. Have a shorthaired dog? He may be more cozy in a doggie sweater during walks. Try to find a coat or sweater with a high collar and coverage all the way to the belly. Just because you’re a pup doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable!

4. Cozy up! Just like you, your furry companion wants a warm place to sleep. A dog or cat bed with a blanket or pillow away from drafts is purr -fect!

5. Never leave your pet alone in the car! In the winter, the car can become a refrigerator, causing your pet to freeze to death.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Proverbs 9:10 New International Version (NIV)

by Jhantu Randall

The Prodigal Child of Pasadena Freelance Journalist Jhantu Randall reviews Bing Bing’s 2016 project ‘Beautiful Struggle’ mixtape I met up with the current subject for this ar ticle, Bing Bing on a Saturday evening at Nate’s Chicken and Waff les in Seattle. Before I get too far ahead of myself, Bing Bing is the stage name of Michael Taylor, the man who brought me in and gave me an oppor tunity at ThaWilsonBlock Magazine. With that explanation stated up front, this ar ticle is the perfect test as I’ve covered ar tists, live performances, and entrepreneurs and this man is a culmination of all 3.

From creating a publication that promotes local ar tists and events that highlight the culture, to a podcast that gives

listeners a chance to hear the voice of an unheard star before they make their mark, Hip Hop is the lifeblood that tells the hustlers’ story. It gives a voice to the voiceless, the underclass that's routinely propped up as pawns and then forced to carry the burden of feeling forgotten. It’s these precise circumstances that fuel an indescribable desire to rise above the position your were given, live the American Dream and experience creating the vision.

As we sat for a meeting, he broke down the numbers of the ar ticles traction and other things that had to do with music in general. As this

conversation carried on, I was invited to hear some of Bing Bing’s music which I admit I’d never really sat and listened to prior to this. In situations like this it’s best not to go into listenings with any sor t of preconceived notions or expectations and just let your genuine reactions dictate your first impression as you begin to form an opinion. I won’t get into the songs I heard in that moment other than to say that Bing is definitely an emcee as opposed to just being a rapper. For him it’s more about a feeling and conveying a story as opposed to just being a dope spitter with a catalog of quotable’s.

There’s a lot of music coming from Innocent? on a constant basis, but on this gritty, yet heart felt track, Innocent? pays respect to his son who’s incarcerated. “From Me To You”, produced by Hazernomical, features Brooklyn’s own Sweetz who is also paying respect to her brother who’s incarcerated. These two dope emcees are sending kites to their loved ones through the music but are sharing them with the world. I’m sure we all have loved ones or know someone who has loved ones behind the “wall” , so let’s take a few minutes to hear what Innocent? & Sweetz have to say. Enjoy your time with your families. Life is short. Prayers & blessings to all.
