People won’t ever stop pushing the limits to religious freedom in America, and they shouldn’t. However, this whole Church of Cannabis is bit ridiculous — even for a Marijuana supporter. The hoopla was even enough to catch Stephen Colbert’s attention, and he did some investigating.
Indiana’s First Church of Cannabis was founded by Bill Levin who says he was just poking around at the state’s new religious freedom restoration act, which offers “protections against the government infringing on religious practices.” Okay buddy.

This song has me zonin’ right now. As I hit play on the song and heard the hook, I had crazy flashbacks of all the friends I’ve lost along the years. I’m from a relatively “good area,” and I’m still counting the number of dead homies with two hands.

Wale teams up with producer Metro Boomin and the Highbridge Voices on the track “Voices In My Head.” The record was created this summer at The Sprite Corner in NYC, and Mass Appeal beaks down how the collaboration came together from scratch down below.
This past summer, young creatives were invited to The Sprite Corner in New York City to watch Wale, Metro Boomin, and the Highbridge Voices choir create a track from scratch.
From the jump, Wale let everyone know they were being treated to an exclusive experience, as he’d never opened up his creative process to such a large group before. However, once Wale and Metro Boomin settled on the direction of the song, it was almost as if they completely forgot about the crowd, experimenting without reservation. The Highbridge Voices choir brought an additional layer to the experience, adding haunting harmonizations to Metro’s production.
