He used to be an air conditioning service technician for over 8 years before he pursued his career as a rapper and a hip hop artist. This stands as an inspiration to not just his audiences but also for other upcoming musicians who often shy away from realizing their dreams and aspirations.

Hip hop artist BigJohn hails Plies from big Gates Records as his biggest inspiration. Although he always felt a sense of belongingness with music, it was not until 2010 that he started writing his content. Soon he imbibed his musical style and eccentricity and there has been no looking back since. The upcoming album is set to accumulate and present his insights and wisdom as an individual and as an artist who is ready to accomplish the highest levels of success, popularity, and creative greatness.

Forming an exclusive musical canvas, his songs like ‘Can’t Nobody’ or ‘Can’t Fill Your Shoes’ are personal sagas that touch the hearts of his fans. A vocal and musical delivery like no other, his music is eccentric and often imbibes trains of contemporary pop. The artist himself is fond of experiments as he constantly allows his soundscape to breathe and grow through the years of cultural and creative evolution. He is also a fond guitarist whose canvas is open to all kinds of music. His exposure also indirectly influences his soundscape and makes it stand out in creative glory.

The upcoming album ‘Neva Too Late’ is set to add another quote of creative excellence to his work. His other album, ‘We Goin Live’ also created a lot of buzz and audience engagement. He has always acknowledged the support of his audience that helped him stay humble and grounded during the course of his journey as an artist. He is also a family man who is always maintaining the work-life balance with the right ingredients. All his songs are textured with emotional themes and musical subtleties that help his audiences to relate to them on a deeper level of empathy and understanding.

The legacy of hip hop has seen many artists come forward with his individualism and creative expressions.

His sense of arrangement and production is commendable as all his projects brim with the creative assurance of good melodic editing. The artist is currently based out of Deland, Florida, and is looking forward to some exciting new projects in the next year.

President Trump to sabotage Joe Biden’s victory?

[Florida] Polk County Sheriff punches man twice while in handcuffs.

POLK COUNTY, Fla. — A video posted to Facebook, that appears to show a Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputy hitting a man in handcuffs, has made its way to Sheriff Grady Judd. 

According to Judd, a complete and thorough investigation will be completed, but there is more to the story than what the video show. 

The eight-minute video, which captures a fight that broke out on Chesnut Rd. in Lakeland on May 6, is below.

In the video, two men can be seen hitting each other, while a woman and another man in a neon shirt stand nearby.

Eventually, the fight stops, and the man in the neon shirt walks off with one of the men allegedly involved in the fight. At the same time, the video shows another fight breaking out across the street.

That’s when multiple sheriff’s office patrol cars arrived.

According to Judd, deputies arrived in “emergency mode” and began working the scene in order to sort out: What is going on? Who is fighting? Is anyone hurt? And is there guns or knives?

While doing so deputies attempted to talk to, the man in the neon shirt, now known as 20-year-old Fernando Jimenez, who they say, witnessed the first fight and was in the area of the second fight. But, he attempted to leave, according to the sheriff’s office. 

That’s when deputies attempted to arrest Jimenez who, Sheriff Judd said then resisted and spit on a female deputy. 

“I don’t need to tell you at this time of COVID when everybody’s supposed to be socially distancing,” Judd started before explaining how the group was not socially distancing. “But, when I look at that , and then one of my deputies gets spit directly in the face by a guy, never mind HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis C, but now we have COVID.”

As for where the video appears to show one of the deputies strike Jimenez twice while he is held against the trunk area– Judd confirms this, saying the deputy hit him while attempting to get Jimenez under control.

Then deputies worked to place Jimenez in the back of a patrol car where his legs were tethered together to keep him from kicking out any windows, according to the sheriff’s office.

He also had a spit guard placed on his face because “this guy [was] trying to spit on everybody,” according to Sheriff Judd.

Now, the incident is under a complete and “thorough” investigation. 

“I can tell you one thing we are going to do a complete and thorough investigation. I have built a reputation of doing what’s right. If there’s a violation of the rules then they will be held accountable for that,” Judd said. “But, I can tell you clearly and unequivocally in this day and age of COVID, HIV, Hepatitis, how would you respond if somebody spit in your face today? In the middle of this pandemic? When the state of Florida is under a state of emergency. You would stop it, you would stop it.”

Both deputies are set to be tested for COVID-19.

The sheriff’s office said the video is also under review as it was just obtained on Thursday. 

But, Judd is grateful for the video for another reason, sharing that it allows them to get a clearer picture of the fights and charge people who may not yet have been charged.

Jimenez is facing charges for resisting without violence, resisting with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer. He has since bonded out of jail. 

[Florida] Polk County Sheriffs Violate Citizens Rights And Slam Innocent Man.

Polk County Sheriff’s office and Lake Hamilton Police department in Florida was dispatched to an address in lake hamilton, Florida on April 18th, 2020 at approximately 1:30 am, searching for a Tyrek Washington. The homeowners advised the officers that Washington was not at the residence and that they do not consent to a search of their home without a warrant.

The homeowner proceeded to close the door as he was exercising his rights when the officers slammed him to the ground and charged him with Assault on a Leo and resisting arrest. This is a perfect example of how the Polk County Sheriff’s office violates the rights of the residence in Polk County, Florida.

Watch this daunting video of how it all went down.

After the officers slam the homeowner for no reason, his daughter calls 911 reaching out for justice from the police and she was charged for Misuse of an emergency hotline and resisting arrest. I guess, if the police are violating your rights and slamming you illegally, then you are deemed helpless.

The family has retained a private attorney and plan on filing a complaint against the Sheriff’s department as well as Lake Hamilton Police department. Additionally, the family has reached out to several news outlets to bring awareness and to potentially slow the spread of these outrageous actions taken by the people who are supposed to protect and serve us.

[Covid-19] Stimulus checks will be in your hand within 3 weeks!

Congress passed the $2 Trillion Stimulus bill that will help with the economic crisis caused by the Cornavirus pandemic.

What Does This Mean For You?

This means that single tax payers will receive $1,200 each and couples will receive $2,400. For each dependent taxpayers will receive an additional $500 for each qualifying child.

When Will You Receive The Money?

The checks and direct deposits are set to reach taxpayers within the next 3 weeks so keep your eyes open for your direct deposit or paper check to arrive. If you owe back child support you can expect to not receive a stimulus check. Those that are on social security are still eligible to get the cash though.

Will you get another check?

Although under the current bill, this is just a one time payment and no further checks are set to be disbursed. It is possible that there will be another bill passed later on, releasing more funds to the taxpayers. Everyone with a social security number is eligible to receive this relief funding as long as you were not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.

Didn’t file your 2019 tax return yet?

If you did not file your 2019 tax return yet, then the irs will look at your 2018 tax return to determine the amount you are eligible to receive. Single tax payers who made less than $75,000 and couples who made less than $150,000 will receive the full amount. If your total gross income is above the threshold amount then your stimulus payment would go down $5 for every $100.

Americans Not Likely To See Stimulus Check Until At least May 2020

Legislation to provide direct financial checks to many Americans, expand unemployment insurance, offer health-care providers additional resources

Lawmakers struck a $2 trillion stimulus deal early Wednesday that includes sending checks directly to individuals amid the coronavirus crisis — but it will likely take until at least May before the money goes out. Under the plan as it was being negotiated, single Americans would receive $1,200, married couples would get $2,400, and parents would see $500 for each child under age 17.

Americans most likely will not see any sign of the Coronavirus ( Covid-19 ) check until at least May.

However, the payments would start to phase out for individuals with adjusted gross incomes of more than $75,000, and those making more than $99,000 would not qualify at all. The thresholds are doubled for couples.About 90% of Americans would be eligible to receive full or partial payments, according to estimates by the Tax Policy Center. Lawmakers set aside $250 billion for the so-called recovery rebates.

Qualifying income levels will be based on 2019 federal tax returns, if already filed, and otherwise on 2018 returns. (Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin earlier this month delayed the filing deadline until July 15.) There are provisions in the bill to include those who don’t earn enough to file returns, but some people may be missed, said Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the center.

Under the legislation being negotiated, lower- and middle-income Americans would receive just over two-thirds of the benefits, Gleckman said. An earlier version of the bill would have given lower-income households less or no assistance.

As for Mnuchin’s recent promise to send the checks in two weeks, that’s not likely to happen.

The Internal Revenue Service has sent out economic stimulus checks before, and although those plans were slightly different, they can offer some insight into how long the process might take.

“Certainly from what we’ve seen in the past, it’s taken a pretty significant amount of time to get checks out after a policy is put in place,” said Erica York, an economist at the Tax Foundation. In 2001, it took six weeks for the IRS to start sending out rebate checks authorized by President George W. Bush’s tax cut. Then in 2008, amid the Great Recession, it took three months for the checks to start going out after the law was signed by Bush. In that case, Americans were required to file their tax return first, in order to get the check. Once they filed their return, it took between eight and 12 weeks to see the money.

Those that had authorized a direct deposit into their bank account likely received their money faster. Those deposits were made over a three-week period in 2008, while paper checks were sent through the mail over a 10-week period, York said.

It’s likely that Americans would receive the stimulus payments faster this time around because more of them file electronically and provide the IRS with their bank information, Gleckman said. Some 88% of individual returns were filed electronically in 2018, compared to 58% in 2008.

But there are other factors that may slow the process. Even absent the coronavirus challenges, the agency is working with a smaller budget and less staff than it had in 2010. Now, because of the coronavirus, the agency has shut down its in-person taxpayer assistance centers located across the country at a time when people are sure to have questions about the emergency checks and other changes.

Treasury announced last week that it is pushing back the tax return deadline to July 15. Additionally, Congress created a new tax credit designed to refund businesses that are offering their employees coronavirus-related paid leave.

“It’s just a recipe for confusion,” said Nina Olson, who served as the IRS’s National Taxpayer Advocate from 2001 to 2019.

“There can be a lot of complexity involved in something as simple as sending a checkout,” Olson added.

First, the IRS will have to calculate each person’s payment amount. Then, it will need the correct direct deposit information or mailing addresses. To get the money to people who don’t usually file tax returns, it might have to request that information from the Social Security Administration or Veterans Affairs. In 2008, those people were required to file a return anyway in order to get their rebates.

Meanwhile, the IRS will inevitably be fielding calls from Americans concerned about when their check will arrive and whether they took all the necessary steps to receive the money. In 2001, the agency sent out letters to taxpayers telling them they didn’t have to do anything in order to receive their check. But instead of staving off calls, the notice had the reverse effect. It resulted in the agency’s first 1 million-call day, Olson said.

Later in 2008, after the economic stimulus checks were sent out, Olson testified before Congress, telling lawmakers that they should fund a new unit within the agency that would be dedicated to facilitating new and emerging initiatives. She argued that it would free up other employees to focus on improving the existing systems and executing the day-to-day work of the agency — but that never happened.

[COVID-19] Florida at risk of being on Lock-Down!

Florida is at risk of joining many other states that are in a mandatory lock-down. A request was sent to Governor Ron Desantis asking that Florida be on a mandatory lock down, amid the Corona virus ( COVID-19 ). Bars are currently closed and restaurants are only allowed to service customers as take out only.

This is just the beginning of what is to come. It only makes sense for Florida to join the rest of the country in containing COVID-19 from spreading too quickly and overwhelming our healthcare system. At some point, most people will likely end up getting COVID-19 unless a vaccine is distributed in a timely fashion.

As of March 20th, 2020, there has been at-least 250 deaths linked to Covid-19 and approximately 20,000 cases in the United States.

Here’s a breakdown of where the deaths have occurred:

83 – Washington
46 – New York 
24 – California
14 – Louisiana
13 – Georgia
11 – New Jersey
10 – Florida
5 – Illinois
5 – Texas
4 – Colorado
3 – Michigan
3 – Oregon
3 – Connecticut
3 – Wisconsin
3 – Indiana
2 – Virginia
2 – Missouri
2 – Kentucky 
2 – Ohio
2 – Vermont
1 – Mississippi
1- Nevada 
1 – Kansas
1 – South Dakota
1 – South Carolina 
1 – Pennsylvania
1 – Maryland
1 – Oklahoma 
1 – Massachusetts  
1 – District of Columbia

You can protect yourself and help prevent spreading the virus to others if you:

  • Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze
  • Avoid close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell
  • Stay home and self-isolate from others in the household if you feel unwell
  • Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not clean
