Photo by Timothy Schmidt Words by: Brandon Pope You’re hard pressed to find another movie like Nia DaCosta’s Hedda this year, a daring and psychologically challenging adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. In Hedda, Tessa Thompson stars as the enigmatic Hedda Tesman, a woman caught between societal expectations and her own restless desires. DaCosta’s reimagining trades 19th-century Norway for a sleek, 1950’s Britain where the pressures of perfection, identity, and control feel eerily familiar. The result is a film that hums with gothic unease and emotional precision. It’s a study of power, freedom, and the quiet rebellion of women who refuse to be contained.…

Brand new EP & the 9th altogether from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania emcee O.T. the Real. Getting his start in the underground almost a decade ago after coming home from prison & dropping his debut single “Papercuts”, his profile began to grow from there after showcasing his skills on radio stations or dropping 9 albums as well as a mixtape & his last 8 EPs.

No Matter What, Desperation of December, It’s Almost Over & Red Summer were all hit or miss for me until O.T. finally…

Potluck quickly became his most celebrated work for good reasons & had higher expectations of Made by Dope due to Harry Fraud solely producing it himself. “Tubi” named after the Fox Corporation’s streaming service of the same name airing new episodes of the Endeavor-owned TKO Group Holdings division WWE’s new secondary developmental brand EVOLVE every Wednesday night works in some soulful sampling to symbolize his diamonds of…
