A battle-scarred
Drake tries making love, not war
On the rebound
from a public defeat,
'$ome $exy $ongs 4
U' reverts to the sound of the rapper's breakthrough years

Soul USA
Soul told Black musicians’ stories.
Its archives are going diigital.
The newspaper, which started in 1966
with a focus on R&B, funk and disco,
shut down in 1982.
But one of its founders’ grandsons
is devoted to finding it a new online audience.
