Hip-Hop Turns 50 years old
Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary takes place in 2023. The music that influenced my favorite style of dance. I love the high energy and crazy beats that intertwine through the sick lyrics in songs like ‘It Takes Two’ by Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock and ‘Lose Control’ by Missy Elliot.

Almost five decades ago it was believed an 18-year old DJ in New York and his friend gave birth to the genre. DJ Kool Herc and his emcee friend, Coke La Rock, hosted a back to school party in the Bronx and the rest was history. They became known as the "Fathers of Hip-Hop."
MCU Universe Begins Phase 5
Phase four tackled movies such as 'Thor: Love and Thunder' and 'Spiderman: No Way Home.' But this phase is taking on series as well, since the catastrophe that was left in the Marvel cinematic universe from 'Avengers: Endgame' (2019). I highly recommend watching the series because they compliment the movies. For example, Marvel gave us 'Wanda Vision.' You would be very lost if you watched Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) and did not take a peak at Wanda's show.
Furthermore, it looks like 'Ant Man and The Wasp: Quantumania', 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3', 'Captain America: New World Order', and so many more of our favorite superheroes will appear in phase five. But some movies such as Deadpool and Fantastic Four are being pushed back, which is now delaying the beginning of phase six.
Rihanna's New Album
Robyn Fenty's long-awaited ninth album, that fans dubbed as "R9," is supposed to be releasing in 2023. We recently received beautiful ballads from the business mogul, "Lift Me Up" and "Born Again." Both songs were for the 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' soundtrack, and the two tracks seemed to get mixed reviews from her fans.
Beyonce's 'Renaissance' Tour
The legendary Grammy award winner's 2022 album 'Renaissance' is officially going to be heard in stadiums next year. The album release got some interesting feedback from her fans. Some were not used to the house genre's influence on her songs, but as many should know the Houston native can move through any music genre. This has been proved with 'Black is King' (2020) and 'Lemonade' (2016). Also, music artist Kelis was not happy about the interpolation of her 2003 song 'Milkshake.'
Fast X
The tenth installment of the 'Fast & Furious' franchise arrives in 2023. Filiming wrapped for the movie a few months ago, so be prepared to have the engines running on movie theater screens near you possibly this coming spring.
The series is getting a two-part finale, because Vin Diesel said there are a lot of locations in the world that the crew has to visit before this story is over. There is no release date yet for the eleventh installment or Fast X Part Two.
