The Culture Chair: What Chelsey Green’s New Role Means for the Future of the Recording Academy
The Culture Chair: Dr. Chelsey Green Is Rewriting the Recording Academy Playbook By NWO Sparrow When Dr. Chelsey Green stepped into the role of Chair of the Recording Academy® Board of Trustees, she didn’t just take a seat at the table — she brought a whole new set of blueprints. A classically trained violinist, a Billboard-charting artist, and an educator with global impact, Dr. Green just made double history: becoming both the first Black woman and the youngest person ever to hold the position in the Academy’s 68-year legacy. But this isn’t just about representation. It’s about transformation.

Isabel (You Are My Mother)
In 2024 I wrote about 30+ lyrics for songs I would create using AI and digital tools. Somewhere within those 30+ the thought came to me that my mom deserves to be memorialized in song. She is an amazing person. Yes, I am biased but the lady truly is wonderful. She has done a lot of things to help others but first and foremost she has been one great mom. She and I have always had a very close relationship.

The Enduring Impact of Hot 97's Who's Next Showcase There's an undeniable electricity in the air every time Hot 97's Who's Next Showcase takes over SOBs in New York City.

Every rapper dreams of headlining Hot 97’s Summer Jam, especially NYC up and coming artist , but before you rock the main stage, you’ve got to survive the Festival Stage—the most pivotal 15 minutes in New York hip-hop. This isn’t just an opening act; it’s a make-or-break moment that has launched careers, swayed label decisions, and turned local buzz into national fame. In an era where TikTok algorithms and playlist placements dominate artist discovery, the Festival Stage remains one of the last pure meritocracies in rap. Either you connect with the crowd through sheer skill and charisma, or you get swallowed by the roar of 50,000 impatient hip-hop heads waiting for the headliners.
