Who is Mars Hoffa?

"I tend to want things in life I can't grasp, Sky's the limit for who? My name's Mars! So I'm thinking out of this world, Somewhere Far..." - Mars Hoffa

Moustapha Sylla better known as Mars Hoffa, born in Newark, New Jersey with Senegalese roots (West Africa) is an artist whose realities and visage are portrayed within his music, lyrical cadence, and style. Eager and passionate about his music, Mars Hoffa unexpectedly delivers something "new" while experimenting and painting pictures over an entire Ep solely produced by Rashaad Taylor titled “Black Market.” Within this installment, Mars delivers when expressing his culture yet reflecting about his immediate surroundings while elegantly channeling upbringing in Dakar and the City of Newark, immediate issues and moral gems we should live by. Still paying homage to the many different sub genres of hip hop which have helped formed his own lane, Mars Hoffa has left his mark as an upcoming artist after receiving great feedback from a broad fan base and blogs. “LONGSHOREMEN: A Prelude to Black Market” was released during the first week of August after Hoffa decided to cater to his fans who awaited “Black Market.” Black Market was released on November 21, 2013.

Featured Friday Photography Art: "Heartfelt" - By Ade Olisa



The portrait of this man was not premeditated or planned. It was during a concert in Montego Bay, Jamaica where the internationally recognized artist, Jah Cure was performing on stage. The performance was so touching, the type that would give any person goose bumps, and as you can see this man could not hold back his emotions. This was a beautiful moment and I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to capture it. It was deeply heartfelt.

- Ade Olisa (NY Based Photographer)

Nas & Q-Tip Exclusive Performance in New York City

Mark Zucherberg visits Newark to speak about his $100 Million Donation for Newark Public Schools & also on Oprah along w/ Cory Booker & Gov. Christie






Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's donation of $100 million for Newark's public schools has drawn national media attention, but the big-picture impact of such a gift is being questioned by Star-Ledger columnist Bob Braun. In his piece, Braun argues that New Jersey's public schools are not failing on the whole; instead, he says, it is the state's poorest communities where schools are faltering. Citing a link between wealth and academic achievement, Braun says that celebrity donations cannot take the place of public commitment to (and public spending for) New Jersey's schools.

"Education in our poorest districts will remain abysmal, as it has been for more than a generation, until it is valued by the citizens of these districts. Our educators told us that if we funded these districts at the level of the richest districts the educational achievement would equalize. Later we were told that we had to spend more because these kids were "different." Now, for example we spend more than twice the state average per pupil in Newark and the results are no different than when we spent half as much. Insanity is defined as doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Our leaders need to attack the root of the problem, involvement of the family and community. Throwing money at the problem is a proven failure."

Nike Air Mag "Marty McFly" Patent News Props to Hype Beast

Nice Kicks updates us with some news that’ll have all the hardcore collectors sweating, as they unveil a look into the official patent for an automatic lacing system from Nike. The design eerily resembles the system featured within Nike’s Air Mag, Marty McFly’s sneakers in the cult film Back to the Future II. This information comes from the World Intellectual Property Organization website, with Tinker Hatfield and the designers at Nike’s Innovative Kitchen listed on the proposition. Stay tuned as we’ll surely hear more news about these between now and 2015.
