Both Kanye West and J. Cole will be releasing their anticipated albums on the 18 June this month and will go head to head for sales.

Kanye West’s album Yeezus will be his first album after the collaboration album with Jay Z so it will be interesting to see how good his music is without arguable one of the best rappers in Jay Z but Kanye has held his own and makes very smart music that everyone enjoy’s.

J. Cole come into the scene out of nowhere after he was co-signed to Jay Z’s record label Roc’a'fella and has not looked back since after his first album ‘Cole summer’ was a great success with a lot of award nominations for the album and alot of hits. One song that has released from the album is ‘Power Trip’ with miguel which was another succesful song and enjoyed by plenty.

If you had a choice between the two albums which one would you pick ?

I would have to pick J. Cole’s Born Sinner because i just think that Kanye has lost his way from when he was making great songs and his ego has got to him to the point where he think’s he is superior and i don’t like to hear that in artist’s music whereas J. Cole focusses on telling stories and gives us an insight of his own personal pain.

We all know who the fast man in the world is Usain Bolt but recently with bad form the world fastest man was beaten in the Jamaican Olympic by Yohan Blake and Tyson gay.

And now Blake has said this year 2012 will be the most exciting 100m final we’ll ever see, and in my opinion I think we will as Usain bolt is in bad form right now after car crash and other means but working hard in the Olympic you can never be sure who would win the race. That’s what makes then excited.

Now that the competition is much open you never know who will win blake looks to be ready for the race. And other are ready to have him on in the 200m race, I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.

The programme has shown tangible results at Hoover Elementary School in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Courey’s study included 67 students.

Half the group participated in a six-week Academic Music curriculum and the rest received the school’s regular math instruction.

Students in the music-based programme scored 50 percent higher on a fraction test, taken at the end of the study, compared to students in the regular math class.

Significant gains were made by students who struggle with academics.

The researchers compared the test scores of lower-performing students in both groups and found that those who were taught the experimental music curriculum scored 40 percent higher on the final fractions test compared to their lower performing peers in the regular math class.

An innovative curriculum uses rhythm to teach fractions at a California school where students in a music-based programme scored significantly higher on math tests than their peers who received regular instruction.
