Esta vez ya se acabó/ Y tú tienes que entender/ Que no quiero estar contigo

Esa es la vida real, tú y yo tenemos historia/ No podemos platicar y antes hablábamos horas/

Dime qué te pasó ahora

Quiero que me abraces como lo hacías antes/ Quiero que me ahogue en tu calor

Yes or no? Let’s see. Let’s see. No, it is because it has different parts. 

Que no me duela el alma cuando me estés mintiendo/ Quisiera ser como tú y olvidar nuestros momentos/ Pero no soy como tú y, aquí, sí me estoy muriendo

Hip-Hop Exec Tim Hinshaw Talks Hip-Hop, ‘The Car Test’ in ‘Infinitely Inspiring’ | Billboard

The founder and CEO of Free Lunch agency sat down with Billboard and INFINITI for an intimate interview.

Tim Henshaw:

My name is Timothy Hinshaw, aka Westside Timmy, CEO and founder of Free Lunch Agency. I officially launched Free Lunch Agency in late 2023. Hip-Hop early on was like an outlet. I grew up on the west side of Compton, so I could find a CD, and what they were saying on the songs was stuff that I was going through in my everyday life, right? It was almost like a therapy session. One of my best memories as a kid was my first road trip. My dad had the Infiniti Q45 he loved that car. It was gold. It had the gold BBS’ 96 it was like my first introduction to like a luxury vehicle. My favorite time listening to the music is in the car. The car test is the most important test, I think. I can’t really give an opinion until I hear it in the car. If you don’t refine yourself and get better, you stay in the same spot. I’m a simple person. Being able to wake up with my kids, take them to school, and having premium sound when you’re driving that’s luxury.Some of the first things I remember from the music industry was all the no’s. I was told “no, no, no.” I just don’t accept no. And I think that’s just about how I came up. I’ve seen my mom make a way out of so many different “no” situations, and so you can’t tell me no. I’m gonna figure out a way to get a yes.

 Zhamira Zhambrano Talks Finding Joy Through Her Music and Current Beauty Obsessions Presented By Ulta Beauty

Zhamira Zhambrano talks about how she finds beauty and joy through her music, as well as her favorite beauty trends while backstage at Billboard Latin Music Week.

Zhamira Zhambrano:

My glam session has a pretty mixed soundtrack. Sometimes I listen to my own unreleased songs because it’s a moment where I’m alone and can concentrate on what I have to fix for certain songs. I listen to my husband’s music. I listen to Morat. I listen to songs in English. I think if you ask me right now, Karol G. I really like her style lately in her performances. Beyond her style, I really like her self-confidence that she shows in front of the cameras because that’s how you can get to know her and I think she’s a person who always looks beautiful, elegant and who’s super confident in herself. I have always said that if you feel beautiful inside, that is what you will radiate outwards. In my case, I try to work on that a lot with myself and involve it in the studio. When I am creating, I am always thinking about how the person or in this case, the woman who listens to this will feel, or even the man, too, because men can also feel beautiful and powerful. I think that as long as you carry a message of positivity, in my personal case, that’s what I try to radiate in the studio through the music with beautiful and motivational words, healthy and clean messages that reach the heart. You will feel good.
