When it comes to content, it’s easy for us to stick to what we know or want that old thing back. But for a rare few, being a true content connoisseur is about being on top of what’s hot, what’s trending, and what’s next. Luckily, this new guide is everything for your music, literary, film, TV, and live experiences needs.

Each week, yours truly, Kevin L. Clark, will be your go-to advocate, spotlighting all those content cravings worth enjoying.

You’re now tuned into This Weekend, a weekly round-up for content culture lovers and those who love to avoid FOMO.

For Friday, Mar. 18, this week’s episode finds us with some freshly-discovered treasures for you, your family, and friends to get into + share with others. It contains a healthy dose of sonic vibes, this month’s BET Amplified artist to know, and, of course, something streaming that’s a feast for the eyes.

So bon appétit to all those true savants who are purveyors of content culture out there.

2022 is looking to be an absolute dynamic year for Joyce Wrice. The talented singer-songwriter has followed up her reimagined Proud Family theme song appearance with the new single, “Iced Tea,” which features the wonderfully cool Kaytranada. An artist who stands out at every level, Wrice has captivated listeners with strong projects like Overgrown and songs like “Good Morning,” featuring Mndsgn. On “Iced Tea,” Joyce and Kaytra reunite and it feels oh, so good to hear the duo on this fun dance record. As the L.A. native steps into her divine feminine energy, be sure to check her out as the official opener for Lucky Daye’s Candydrip 26-date North American tour.

Let me be the first person to tell the content connoisseurs of BET.com to dive headfirst into everything that Sudan Archives makes. Suggestions from Stones Throw efforts by yours truly include “Honey,” “Glorious (Nìdia Remix),” and “Mind Control.” A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter, her first new track of 2022, “Home Maker,” is a celebration of those domestic goddesses. Sudan Archives choosing to have both her security and sexuality satiated while remaining an independent woman makes this must-listen-to song one to add into your repeat-rotation.

It’s time for that real to return, y’all! The 25-year-old multi-platinum selling, chart-topping recording artist we’ve come to know and love as Normani bares it all in a new single called, “Fair,” which heralds the arrival of an upcoming album. On the HARV-produced track, Normani departs from her bright, upbeat sonics for a more revealing and emotional side. Within soft keys, her voice echoes throughout with raw feeling while lamenting an emotional journey after a breakup. It is a new part of herself being expressed with the world, one that longtime and newbie listeners will celebrate during this weekend and beyond.

Special Mention: There is also some new heat from the likes of Syd (“Cybah,” featuring Lucky Daye), Leikeli47 (“LL Cool J”), and Valerie June (“Use Me”) that you cannot afford to miss.

A surprise hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Master, directed by Mariama Diallo, is a haunting story on the legacy of racism and sexism at a fictional Ivy League school in Salem, Massachusetts. Starring Regina Hall as a recently promoted professor, this tale follows her and two other Black women: Amber Gray as a radical academic named Liv, and Zoe Renee’s new student Jasmine. Each must grapple not only with the school’s past but with its more subtly racist present. It is a smart and gripping horror movie that even made Regina really how “uncomfortable” the film can be, which is why you should instantly hit play now that Master is available for streaming on Amazon Prime.

Disney Plus, at this very moment, is the reboot king when it comes to these streaming platforms. With a Fort Knox-esque vault full of content, you’d think that these projects that they’re sitting on were cheaper by the dozen. Luckily, for true content connoisseurs like you and me, that is one of the reboots now available to watch. Cheaper by the Dozen returns for a third iteration, starring Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff, as a multiracial blended family of twelve navigating their family business in New Jersey. A fresh take on a beloved story, this is a heartwarming film full of chaos that is fun for the whole family.

A personal favorite of yours truly, the drama for Love & Marriage: Huntsville returns and boy is it ramped up. The hit reality series from Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network returns for Season Three, and chronicles the loves, lives, business ventures, and personal lives of couples, who intersect, fight, and fuss over all the matters important to them in this reality TV show. If you haven’t watched this show before or aren’t familiar with the dramatics, watch this trailer and be sure to tune in for the premiere when it airs on Sunday, Mar. 20.

It is This Weekend’s pleasure to announce Muni Long as the BET Amplified Artist for March! The singer-songwriter, formerly known professionally as Priscilla Renea, has usurped the Billboard Hot 100 and became a beloved star by music lovers around the world.

After penning hits for artists such as Rihanna, Fifth Harmony, and others — Muni Long reinvented herself as such and her hits “Sneaky Leak” and “Hrs and Hrs,” the latter which became viral on TikTok, became instant classics. As this month’s BET Amplified Artist, be sure to keep an eye out for an exclusive interview with the talented Capitol Records artist and learn why she is destined to be in front of us for “Yrs and Yrs” to come.
