Call me crazy, but these past few Black Fridays have been getting increasingly ridiculous for every kind or bargain hunter. Customers are being pepper-sprayed, people are being trampled on and fights are exploding left and right. Hard-working retail sales associates are being cursed out by the irate customer who is already sleep deprived from pre-Black Friday scavenger hunts and online sales.

Maysa Leak sounds as beautiful as she looks. No stranger to jazz, funk, R&B or soul, her latest video, Flower Girl, featuring Dwele is just a sample of what listeners can expect from her upcoming album, Motions of Love . A native of Baltimore, MD, Maysa had well prepared herself for what she wanted to do with her talent. After earning her degree from Morgan State University and crossing paths with Stevie Wonder, she relocated to North Hollywood to fulfill her dream of music. Not only did she have the opportunity to work with Mr. Wonder's Wonderlove , she also performed for the Oprah Show and  The Tonight Show. She even got the chance to scat on stage with legendary diva Chaka Khan at a concert. This experience and Chaka's influence has allowed her to develop her own sultry, sweet voice. Maysa spent almost five years as the lead singer for the British jazz/funk band, Incognito. In addition to being a featured vocalist for the group, she began taking on her solo albums.
