Against the Risk of Facing a Major Backlash, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Producer, and Artist Richard Oliver jr Is Set to Release His New Film and Song, “Humanity” That Speaks against the Genocide Being Committed against the Palestinians.

Was the entire world horrified and outraged at the killing of children in Yemen, Syria, Ukraine, Israel, and the starving of children in Afghanistan? The answer to this question is a resounding YES. And was the world horrified and outraged at the caging and torture of children at the US border? YES. Was the world again horrified and outraged at the mass shootings of U.S. schoolchildren? YES. So why shouldn’t the whole world be horrified and outraged at the gruesome massacre of children in Palestine? And maybe it’s time we start asking the really hard questions here- why isn’t the UN horrified? What is it about Palestinian children that persuades them to support their slaughter?

Like many others who have taken a strong stand against what are seen as the war crimes being committed against the people of Palestine by Israeli forces, award-winning New York City filmmaker, two-times White House recipient, music producer, artist, and actor Richard Oliver Jr is back with a soon-to-be-released film and song dubbed “HUMANITY” that strongly stands in solidarity with the innocent people and children of Palestine who are being obliterated by Israeli forces as a large faction of UN states choose to only condemn Hamas and turn a blind eye to what are seen as Israel’s indiscriminate transgressions that have led to the death of tens of thousands of innocent civilians and children and the destruction of property worth billions!

And to someone like Richard, this is the time when humanity needs to prevail. We pride ourselves on always calling a spade a spade, and it is in times like these that we cannot afford to fence sit. We have to call out evil and genocide for what it is. The smears, slanders, lies, and obfuscation threats of the Israel lobby and its army of trolls are now reaching a fever pitch. We should not let them distract or intimidate us. Let’s speak out even stronger against the destruction and suffering that has occurred in Palestine. They only win if they silence us!

This is an attack on all of humankind. Recently, I saw some statistics that showed children’s deaths in wars, and they were as follows:

Iraq: 3,100 in 14 years

Syria: 12,000 in 11 years

Yemen: 3, 700 in 7 years

Ukraine: 520 in 21 months

Palestine: 12,000 in 2 months! Can you imagine this atrocity? How is anybody at peace with this?

Reports indicate that the number of journalists killed in Gaza alone in the months of October, November, and December is 89 and counting—more than what was experienced in WWII and the Vietnam War!

“HUMANITY” is an Afrobeats-inspired single and will be complimented by a short film in hopes of spreading love as well as speaking loudly against the destruction and suffering that has occurred in Palestine.

Proceeds from this humanitarian project will be donated to both the Palestine Red Crescent Society and Doctors Without Borders, who are doing some amazing work amidst much danger for their own lives and families to help care for all the innocent men, women, and children of Palestine seriously injured in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

“HUMANITY” officially debuts on Friday, December 22, 2023, on major digital platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, Amazon, and others.

The music video/film trailer will drop on December 23, 2023, and you can check it out by subscribing to Richard’s official YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/therhymeimpersonator, and turning on the notification bar.

Even as we make our arguments, let’s all remember that this is not just war; this is genocide. Don’t stop talking about Gaza.

It’s one step at a time, and if you’ve noticed, Israel is actually in panic. Efforts such as labeling critics as anti-Semites, circulating staged videos, and distributing fake pictures are all failing. They may have hidden the truth for 75 years, but their cruelty today has helped wake up the world!

Van Hechter’s “Boy Problems” Is a Deep and Danceable Bilingual Anthem for Anyone Tired of Lukewarm Love

Montreal-based pop sensation and LGBTQ activist Van Hechter is back with “Boy Problems,” a stunning new single. The track merges his signature upbeat charm with rare emotional depth. Hechter, known for hits like “Disco Brother,” “Hot Damn,” and “Love Elastic,” reveals a new side to his magnetic electro-pop personality, offering a message that is both radiant and raw.

At 4 minutes and 24 seconds, “BoyProblems” is a bilingual (French & English) eruption of glitter, melancholy, and empowerment. It’s built on irresistible synths, glossy production, and pulsing basslines. The song invites listeners into a world where heartbreak beats in rhythm with liberation. The melodies feel euphoric on the surface, yet are stained with a haunting vulnerability, proving that dancing and deep feeling can exist together.

At its core, the song is a manifesto about refusing to settle for half-love. Van delivers lyrics that make you sway, smile, and suddenly pause; the truth stings. If love isn’t loud, real, and fully given, he’d rather walk away. It’s a reminder wrapped in rhythm: loving yourself means refusing the small version of what you deserve.

Filled with Hechter’s signature humor, glamour, and optimism, “Boy Problems” is a club anthem and a soul-stirrer all at once. The bilingual lyrics expand its emotional reach. The track feels at home anywhere, from Parisian dance floors and New York rooftops to headphones on a bus or speakers at Pride.

This is a jam that makes you feel like you’re flying, free from pretense. It’s definitively dance-pop and unmistakably Van Hechter, though the smile has a real heartbeat underneath. Listeners will hear that signature flair; he’s still cheeky, stylish, and unapologetically queer. His artistry is simply sharpened with new emotional honesty. This is a growth moment, delivered with a wink and a synth hook.

“Boy Problems” is a significant step beyond a simple catchy single. It’s a toast to self-worth. A glittering rebellion against lukewarm love. A reminder that the dance floor can be a place to heal. This sonic centerpiece belongs on your playlist, and on your friends’ too.

TR Craze brings his South Sudanese story to the gritty drill anthem “Tule Tule” with Jamaican-UK rapper Caine Marko

TR Craze brings his South Sudanese story to the gritty drill anthem "Tule Tule" with Jamaican-UK rapper Caine Marko

Sometimes a song shows up like that friend who kicks open the door without knocking, grinning and saying, “get your shoes, we’re leaving.” “Tule Tule,” the new single from South Sudanese artist TR Craze featuring Jamaican-UK rapper Caine Marko, moves exactly like that. The track is bold and charged, carrying the weight of lived experience while stomping over a dark, menacing drill beat that feels built for the streets as much as the club.

TR Craze’s backstory reads like a movie script Hollywood studios would fight over. He was born in South Sudan, shaped by the trauma of civil war, and pushed into the harsh realities of refugee life. He literally survived the treacherous routes through Libya and across the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe. This man distills survival into rhythm. On “Tule Tule,” you can feel that heart, that urgency, and that fire in his delivery, channelled into a raw, assertive drill performance that cuts through even if you don’t understand a single word of the opening verse. At its core, “Tule Tule” is a raw, assertive drill track that isn’t afraid to bare its teeth.

The word “Tule” comes from Nuer. It refers to youth games and the electric thrill of chasing something, whether that’s victory, joy, or destiny. TR Craze uses that spirit like a drumbeat beneath his voice. The choruses hit with a communal, call-and-response warmth but here that playfulness is flipped into a gritty, chant-like hook – “Tule Tule” – that feels like the rallying cry of a crew on the move. Even without translating the lyrics, the tone tells you everything. This is about motion, pursuit, celebration, and refusing to stay stuck in the past, all wrapped in an unapologetic, high-adrenaline atmosphere. Lyrically, the track leans into street life, dominance and crew loyalty, matching the tension in the beat.

Behind them, producer Kyxxx builds a dark, tense soundscape, stitching drill drums with Brazilian bounce and Bhangra-flavoured rhythmic elements that keep the track constantly on edge. The result is a gritty, energetic and unapologetic atmosphere that pulls you straight into their world.

Then Caine Marko slides in for the second verse, and the whole energy pivots into a sharp, swagger-heavy bounce. His flow is clean but gritty, confident and confrontational, shifting between braggadocio and sly charm.

“She knows I’m a wolf and I run the pack,” he starts, classic alpha talk, but delivered with a laid-back grin. “She come first like running track,” he continues, flipping between affection and athletic metaphors like a man who’s too used to moving fast.

Then he opens up the verse more: “Doing dirt and getting with a bitty, I only pretty… then back to the city. Got me some liquor then it got me some weed.” It’s lifestyle rap, but the reckless, unapologetic kind. It’s the messy, outside-at-night, live-in-the-moment vibe that balances TR Craze’s more grounded narrative. When he ends with “you going to hang with the gang,” the energy snaps into a group-hyped finale, a reminder that music like this isn’t meant to be consumed alone, underlining the crew-first loyalty at the heart of the record.

“Tule Tule” works because it blends worlds without softening its raw, street-hardened edge. It merges East African emotion, Caribbean-UK swagger, drill and hip-hop grit, Brazilian and Bhangra textures in Kyxxx’s production, diaspora storytelling, and a spirit of joy that refuses to be dimmed by pain.

Let “Tule Tule” run while you’re walking, cooking, texting, or plotting big dreams – or getting ready to step out with your crew.
