When you hear the words peace you think about people coming together in a non-violent environment, enjoying time together in unity.  This is what the residents of Warren Gardens do every year, promote peace in their community.  It was a very exciting day for the families  here at Warren Gardens as they enjoyed this years event.  There were clear blue skies and the sun was shining bright as the kids played in the Bouncer, enjoyed riding the horses, eating hot dogs, hamburgers, cotton candy and ice cream.  The entertainment consisted of Cassius the 5th, JG & The Band, Lilah, Ray Diamonds, Rey Royale, Row, Taqwa The Edutainer, and many more.

The event was organized by Warren Gardens Residential Association, Evelyn the Residential Co-Ordinator, and a resident of Warren Gardens organized the event, while Jada Holmes the Event Co-Ordinator was in charge of the entertainment. Also a gentleman by the name of Curtis an Activities Co-Ordinator, was in charge of the activities for the day.  The music was provided by Dive FM Radio a local online streaming radio station, who also came out to show their support for the event, and the people in the community.  The residents of Warren Gardens will continue to support their community, and each other by having family fun day at Warren Gardens every year.

When I think of Boston, MA I think of the Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, and The New England Patriots. These are all sports teams who worked hard together, and earned the title of champions.  Team work is very important, and in order for you to become successful or make a difference it takes more than one person to make it happen.  So why are Boston artists still refusing to come together as one, and put this city on the map?  There is so much talent here in this city and so many artists trying to achieve the same goals.  My question is why can’t they achieve them together?  Working together seems to be a major issue here in Boston, everyone has a plan to make it, and  they are definitely on the right track, but nothings happening. In order for this to happen we need strong leaders from the music industry here in Boston who are willing to bring these artists together.  That would involve having a conference or meetings  so the artists can talk about the issues, and try come up with a solution.  ”This is our city and we hold the key to our success and future, unity is the key to put Boston on the map”.  My question is are Boston artists willing to put their ego’s aside to make this happen?  Or will they continue to just think of themselves like they have been doing for years?

I had the opportunity to interview Ray Diamonds an R&B singer from Boston, MA, and female rapper Cassisus The 5th first lady from the Original Nobodies their opinions, and views on Boston artists working together listen to what they had to say about the situation.
