He may be gone from this earth, but will never be forgotten.
Over the weekend, Prince’s closest family members and friends gathered to pay their respects in a private memorial service held at the icon’s Paisley Park estate. His body was cremated once it was released to the family following an autopsy.
Several of the Purple One’s celeb friends came out to say their goodbyes, including his longtime collaborator/protégé Sheila E., model Damaris Lewis, singer Judith Hill, bassist Larry Graham and Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson. The intimate memorial was reportedly limited to about 20 people. The musical genius’ classic tunes played softly in the background, paying tribute to his illustrious career.
Prince’s sister handed out memorabilia in purple boxes to fans gathered around the estate.
She took a moment to address the crowd, thanking them for loving her brother. You can watch the video below:

Following the service, Sheila E spoke with Entertainment Tonight to reflect on the emotional state of the service. "It was very somber," she revealed. "It was sad."
Sheila said the hardest part was hearing his music and realizing he is longer here. She said, "What was challenging yesterday was listening to his music at a very low soft volume and the room very low in lights and everyone just taking a moment, just sitting there, kind of going, ‘Wow,’ [in] disbelief."
Sheila also revealed some surprising news to ET,
"We’re hoping to make Paisley what [Prince wanted] it to be. [He] was working on it being a museum," she shared. "He’s been gathering memorabilia and stuff from all the tours, like my drums and his motorcycle."
And there’s a huge tribute in the works where fans will get a chance to honor the Purple One and his legacy. She said,
"I’m supposed to be the one musical director to put his tribute together with all of the original people and we hope that that happens. We’re working on it, we’ll see what happens… the plan is to have something here in Minneapolis."
We’re HERE for it!

The era of teen geniuses and teentrepreneurs is here. Following their electrifying performance at the Signature Series Funhouse concert curated by Battlebear, the Dowe Twins are on the road to superstardom. While most 15-year-olds are focused on school and have little understanding of the world, these exceptional siblings have become the first-ever brother/sister rap collaboration. Bringing a unique twist to the Hip-Hop scene, the twins are making waves.

Emerging from the challenges of the pandemic, the Dowe Twins are taking a stand for what is right. Their debut single, “Gonna Love Us,” boldly addresses gun violence and advocates for safer parks and areas for children. In the wake of Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary, Hip Hop Blvd recognized the twins as the future of the genre, praising their authenticity and ambition to set new standards.
Beyond their impact on the Hip-Hop industry, the Dowe Twins are also pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams with a Cuban link jewelry collection. At such a young age, they are truly embodying the spirit of innovation and excellence.
Their latest single Dance Dance Dance goes a different direction from their debut EP Perfectly Imperfect. While the EP brings the essence of both RNB and Hip Hop into a neat 5 song project Dance Dance Dance takes us to the present of Hip Hop in drill. The track show the versatility in their cadence and their presence. Even we were turnt up in the Rawrrzone listening to them.

New Video: YOUTH SOUL LOVE – BE MY PEACE
YOUTH SOUL LOVE releases his new album “SOULMATE”. I selected the title SOULMATE because I feel like it was something that represents my name & artistry YOUTH SOUL LOVE, It connects with my Young & mature audience bringing them back to the main objective and focus on planet earth which i believe LOVE. where I’m at as an Artist and the times were in. I feel like people are not speaking about love or singing about what comes along with love and I wanted to express my feelings a little bit less in Rap to actually deliver my stories in R&B, electronic and dance form. showcasing my ability to be diverse,You’re going to catch some Rap. You will catch some country, but I feel like this Iconic R&B sound is something soulful that the listeners could gravitate to, all the time when trying to find that special person who is their soulmate. I also went with the title because I feel like “Soulmate” was an amazing addition to my discography. I love everything around the name SOUL, whether it’s “SOUL NOT FOR SALE” or “SOULMATE”. My listeners know that they’re still in my book of discography and soulmate is just another chapter for the listeners and the lovers to connect with me. The genre borrowed from multiple forms, but I would definitely say this is a new chapter of R&B/Melodic Rap, Being that Melodic Rap is a new genre for the new generation. It is a Sound that I felt was perfect to write this musical letter to connect. – My key influences I would have to say would be Love, Heartbreak, Triumph,Fast Living & Nightlife battling to find myself in who I am as an artist while dealing with love finding the balance.
