CRLS senior Alfred Taylor has been making art since he was young. His passion for art reaches back as early as kindergarten, which was when Taylor started to notice he had talent. “I was just way better than everyone else my age,” Taylor remarked.

In his third album, "Some Rap Songs", Earl Sweatshirt continues to explore his unique voice on a very intimate and experimental project. Following a three-year wait, many fans may have been disappointed to see the album’s 25-minute runtime, but Earl gives the 15 tracks a cohesive feel and a great deal of substance, making it much greater than the sum of its parts.

It wasn’t until I saw a weeping Dick Cheney choking out what was meant to be his dying words that I finally understood why I was so angry with Vice.

"Roma" is a stunning depiction of love in the face of loss and pain. Set in the ’70s in a suburb of Mexico city, "Roma" tells the story of a wealthy family’s maid, Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio). While she spends the majority of her time cleaning, cooking, and caring for the family with another maid named Adela, Cleo seeks the same thing as everyone else: love from a man she believes to be hers. Throughout the film, which is shot in black and white, women take the lead and are the hidden strength behind each day. When Sofia, Cleo’s employer, is left by her husband for another, Cleo and Sofia support each other as the new leaders of the family.
