Mzansi Avenue

 Publicity Stunt or not? King Monada and Makhadzi are amonng Limpopo music giants and have partnered up to try and bring Mzansi some great music, but it seems like there's trouble with their new single, "Ghanama", or is there?  It is actually very hard to determine if the beef or misunderstanding between the two Limpopian artists is actually genuine or if it is just a publicity stunt to hype up the song before its official release. It is quite common for artists that work on a project together to have disagreements on a couple of issues, in most cases, it's about money and how the money generated should be distributed. There are short clips circulating on social media where the two artists are seen celebrating the creation of the new single, but the release date was not mentioned. Prince Benza is also part of the creations of the new single, but it seems like he is not entertaining this beef that is going on. Apparently, these two artists are in dispute over the owner...

 Depressants  Unlike stimulants, depressants reduce arousal, alertness or awareness. Depressants do not get you depressed, but put you in a state of relaxation and reduce or lower your activeness. This usually affects a person's concentration and coordination. They also slow down a person's ability to respond to certain situations. An overdose of depressants can cause drowsiness, vomiting, unconsciousness and even death.  Alcohol . Now, alcohol is the most commonly known and commonly used depressant, maybe because it is easily accessible and is always available. Someone might say that people seem very energetic when they consume alcohol, but this is because alcohol first relaxed a person's internal inhibitors. Inhibitors are basically your instincts that limit you from certain behaviors and so on, that's why when a person consumes alcohol, they act out of character. After relaxing a person's internal inhibitors, it starts relating the rest of the body, which is why ...

Avenue Music: Album Appreciation The AA : LM5 by Little Mix. Official Artwork. Official Super Deluxe Artwork. This album is one of their best and underappreciated. LM5 has the most beautiful moments one longs for in music. Songs like Notice , which show off the girl's beautiful vocals, they sound frustrated, seductive and longing. It's a 10/10 song, impressive production and arrangement. Strip, Woman's World, JOAN Of Arc set a tone of addressing, body love, confidence and dominance.  While The Cure, Told You so, Monster In Me, More than words are more delicate and show off a vulnerable side and a new start, unity and a sense of strength. The album is amazing from start to finish. Unfortunately it wasn't promoted properly. Justice for #LM5!! Tracklist.  1.  The National Manthem 2.  Woman Like Me 3.  Think About Us 4.  Strip 5.  Monster In Me 6.  Joan of Arc 7.  Love a Girl Right 8.  American Boy 9.  Told You So 10.  Wasabi 11....

 Substance- related disorders - Stimulants Last week, we mentioned or touched on substance-related disorders and touched on four major groups. This week, we will be focusing on stimulants, the type of stimulants we have and their effects. One should note that some stimulants may seem more harmful than others and other stimulants may seem more addictive than others. With all types of drugs that are taken, there will always be individual differences to the extant of how these drugs affect us based on our unique difference.  Let's jump straight into it. We already explained that stimulants are drugs and substances that gives a person a sort of high, a boost of energy, alertness or confidence. L arge doses of stimulants can cause over-stimulation, causing anxiety, panic, seizures, headaches, stomach cramps, aggression and paranoia. How many of us have stomach cramps or increased heart rate after drinking lots of coffee? Caffeine  is probably the most commonly used drug in the...

Substance-Related Disorders There are four major groups or classifications of substances that may alter a person's "normal" functioning. In most cases, when we think of something that may affect or alter a person's normal functioning, we usually think of drugs and alcohol, but there are a lot of other substances that affect a person more than we think.   Stimulants  are some of the most commonly abused drugs in the world, despite the fact that they are highly addictive and dangerous. Just like their classification name, stimulants are substances that stimulate or arouse a person or gives them a boost of some sort. Believe it or not caffeine is considered a stimulant drug that is highly addictive. On the other hand, d epressants are substances that reduce arousal and stimulation. They do not necessarily make a person feel depressed. They affect the central nervous system, slowing down the messages between the brain and the body. They can affect concentratio...
