With his debut release, “Wells Run Dry”, Derricottie takes R&B/Soul in a heartfelt, moving, and passionate new direction

Cleveland, Ohio — August 17th, 2022 – Few artists can get audiences resonating with their craft, and amidst a collective of rising faces, Derricottie is one such R&B/Soul prodigy. With records such as “A Man Like Me” and “I Want You” earning International Billboard songwriting accolades, the seasoned song writer has already established himself as someone who delivers a passionate, raw, and profound experience with his storytelling prowess.

With his relatable, moving, and soulful upcoming debut release, “Wells Run Dry”, the creative genius presents soulful vocals, set against honest and vulnerable lyricism. Effectively painting a real picture of first heartbreak, Derricottie gives each listener an emotional experience that embraces vulnerability and is real, poignant, and piercing in essence.

Listeners are bound to feel the pain, vulnerability, and intensity of emotions that Derricottie has woven within his music and can easily visualize what the artist is singing about through stellar songwriting.

With his charismatic and heartfelt musical compositions, empowered by background vocals that are calming and relaxing, Derricottie showcases music which stems from a real place and from real life experiences.

“This song was motivated by my first heartbreak, and the need to release the negative energy of anger, frustration and disappointment through music; which has been a positive, therapeutic form of release for me,” says the artist regarding his new record.

The gifted artist hopes that his upcoming song will be an encouragement to people who have had their heart broken, by simply letting them know they are not alone. He is hopeful that “Wells Run Dry” will shed light on people who take other people for granted, and aims to continue releasing soulful and powerful music, as well as animated comedy skits.

A family in New Zealand bought a suitcase from a storage facility auction – only to take it home & find human remains inside. Police in Manurewa, South Aukland, are now investigating the incident as a homicide.

The police began investigating the incident, first reported by BBC News, at the home on Aug. 11, Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua, counties manukau district crime manager.

Several police department staff members worked at the home overnight, including the department's Specialist Search Group, Vaaelua said in the release.

Police believe the homeowners discovered the remains after they brought the previously unowned property to their house & they are not believed to be involved in the incident.

The investigation is ongoing & the homeowners are assisting. There will be increased police presence in the area over the next few days & a postmortem examination is underway to try & identify the deceased & figure out the circumstance behind the remains, which is expected to take a few days.

Once the identity is discovered, police will contact the next of kin, which "might take some time," Vaaelua said.

There is widespread public interest in the case and police say there is no immediate risk to the public, police said. They will continue to provide updates.

On Monday, a police spokesperson put out a new statement, obtained by CBS News, saying the department appreciates "there is a large public interest," but that "there are still a number of enquiries to be carried out before Police can comment further."

The department was still awaiting the identification results.

PRESCOTT VALLEY, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- Police say the man that was punched by a Wendy’s employee in Prescott Valley in late July has died from his injuries. On Monday evening, Prescott Valley police confirmed the 67-year-old man died nearly three weeks after the initial incident. Officers say the Wendy’s employee, 35-year-old Antoine Kendrick, now faces second-degree murder charges. The customer’s name has not been released.


On July 26, Kendrick was at the register taking the man’s order. However, police say the man complained about his order, and that’s when things turned violent. Surveillance video shows the man hunched over, licking his Frosty when Kendrick comes out from behind the counter. Kendrick comes up next to the unsuspecting man and immediately throws a punch, hitting the customer in the head, police said. The man fell and hit his head on the floor. Officers say he was knocked unconscious and flown to a Valley hospital. Since then, the man was in critical condition before his death.

NEW YORK (AP) — A once-prominent neurologist convicted last month of sexually abusing patients killed himself Monday at a New York City jail.

Dr. Ricardo Cruciani, 68, was found unresponsive in a shower area at the Eric M. Taylor Center, a jail at the notorious Rikers Island complex..

Cruciani’s lawyer, Frederick Sosinsky, confirmed that his client had died.

Prosecutors said Cruciani groomed vulnerable patients by overprescribing painkillers, sometimes to treat serious injuries from car wrecks & other accidents.

Six women testified the sexual abuse often occurred behind closed doors during appointments in 2013 at a Manhattan medical center, where the doctor would expose himself & demand sex.

“I take comfort knowing he now faces another judge,” said Terrie Phoenix, who testified against Cruciani at trial.

He was also scheduled to go on trial next January on federal charges accusing him of abusing multiple patients over 15 years at his offices in New York City, Philadelphia & Hopewell, New Jersey.

Cruciani denied abusing women. In court, his lawyer questioned the credibility of his accusers.

Cruciani died while awaiting sentencing next month in a New York state case in which he was convicted of 12 counts, including predatory sexual assault, rape & sex abuse & acquitted on 2 other counts. He faced up to life in prison.

A Texas Child Protective Services employee lost her job after allegedly telling a 14-year-old girl to become a prostitute.

Keisha Bazley, a Texas mother of 9 who turned to CPS to help with her 14-year-old daughter, told FOX 26 Houston that her child was running away & causing trouble at school, prompting her to call in family services.

"My daughter told me that the worker had been telling her she should do these things, so she said she decided to video her," Bazley said.

CPS is housing the girl at a hotel, just like dozens of other foster kids in Harris County.

The video allegedly shows an exchange between the teen & a CPS worker who reportedly tells the girl to be a prostitute.

"And giving her an incentive to do so & almost a threat of not having her needs being met, if she didn't do what this woman very explicitly told her to do," family law attorney Mike Schneider said.

In a statement, Texas Department of Family and Protective Services spokeswoman Melissa Lanford, said, "DFPS is aware of the video & has taken action. The person in the video – who was employed as CPS support staff - was dismissed from her position August 10. The safety & appropriateness with which children in care must be treated is our paramount concern. Nothing less will be tolerated."

1.How did you get started in music ?

I started off back in 2010 under a then known international YOUTH MUSIC EXCHANGE (YME) from New York which was led by Dr Michael Bitz. I formed a digital band of 7 called THE METEORYTZ and we released an album under YME project, up until it closed down in 2013. Started going Solo in 2017 with my hit Single called DRINKS POPPIN' which I released under my own label MUSIC YARD COMMUNITY ENTERTAINMENT. Then followed the rest of the songs under distribution by JLAWSON MUSIC GROUP.

2. Who are some of your musical influences? 
          Tracy Chapman, Don Williams, Brian Adams,        Femi kuti, Oliver Mtukudzi, Winky-d, T.I, Young Jeezy, Dj Khaled, Kabza De Small, Ricky Rick, Rick Ross, Mr Flamboyant etc.
3.If you had to describe your performance style in one word what would that be?
My style in one word is UNIQUE 

 4. What makes you unique?

The people who listen and support my music are exceptional they comment more of my uniqueness than I do. This makes me unique a lil more

The beginning of Lockdown due to COVID-19 back in 2020 that got us paused for almost 2years due to performance restrictions and funding. Also another challenge was getting a good management before I came across JLMG. Being in this industry is tough for that breakthrough.
8. What's the craziest thing you've ever done? 
The craziest thing I ever done was to think education is not necessary. Which is why now am studying again. Education is power especially in this industry one needs that back up plan.

CHICAGO (AP) — Jury selection got underway Monday at R. Kelly’s federal trial in his hometown of Chicago, where the R&B singer faces charges that he rigged his 2008 state child pornography trial by threatening & paying off a girl with whom he allegedly filmed himself having sex when he was around 30 &  she was no older than 14.

Jurors acquitted Kelly on all charges in that 2008 trial, some explaining later that they felt they had no choice because the girl did not testify. The woman, now in her 30s & referred to in filings only as “Minor 1,” will be the government’s star witness in the federal trial.

Kelly, 55, was already sentenced by a New York federal judge to a 30-year prison term for a 2021 conviction on charges he used his fame to sexually abuse other young fans. 

Before at least 2 dozen potential jurors were brought in, the judge said he hoped to select 12 jurors and 6 alternates Monday & Tuesday from a pool of 125. Once a jury is chosen, the panel will hear opening statements from prosecutors 7 the defense before the first witness is called.

Kelly, faces multiple charges at the federal trial. They include 4 counts of enticement of minors for sex — one each for 4 other accusers. They, too, are slated to testify.

Before potential jurors were brought in, his attorney Jennifer Bonjean asked the judge to exclude anyone who watched the documentary “Surviving R. Kelly” that revisited old allegations against Kelly and spotlighted new ones.

The judge denied that motion but said the jurors would be questioned about the program.

Convictions in Chicago could add decades to Kelly’s New York sentence, which he is appealing. With the New York sentence alone, Kelly will be around 80 before qualifying for early release.

AP) — Lawyers for American basketball star Brittney Griner have filed an appeal of her 9-year Russian prison sentence for drug possessiony, amid talks between the U.S. & Russia that could lead to a high-profile prisoner swap.

Griner, an 8-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury & 2-time Olympic gold medalist, was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport.

The 9-year sentence was close to the maximum of 10 years.

Reflecting the growing pressure on the Biden administration to do more to bring Griner home, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken took the unusual step of revealing publicly in July that Washington had made a “substantial proposal” to get Griner home, along with Paul Whelan, an American serving a 16-year sentence in Russia for espionage.

The Associated Press & other news organizations have reported that Washington has offered to free Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer who is serving a 25-year sentence in the U.S. & once earned the nickname the “Merchant of Death.”

On Sunday, a senior Russian diplomat said talks about an exchange have been conducted.

“This quite sensitive issue of the swap of convicted Russian & U.S. citizens is being discussed through the channels defined by our presidents,” Alexander Darchiev, head of the Foreign Ministry’s North America department, told state news agency Tass. “These individuals are, indeed, being discussed. The Russian side has long been seeking the release of Viktor Bout.”

Adrien Broner hasn't fought in a year-and-a-half -- a streak that was supposed to come to an end this Saturday -- but the 4-weight class world champ just announced he's struggling with his mental health & is pulling out of the fight.

33-year-old Broner was scheduled to box 32-year-old Omar Figueroa Jr. on August 20 at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL. ... but early Monday morning, AB let the world know the fight's off.

"Man, I'm going thru a lot at this moment in my life but I ain't go give up I set some more goals & I ain't stopping until I finish what I started but sorry to say this but I'm not fighting #August20th," Broner wrote.

Just hours before AB made the announcement, he was still promoting his Showtime fight on Instagram. But, early Monday morning, he decided to announce he was pulling out because he wasn't feeling full-strength ... & the boxing ring isn't a place for play.

"Sorry to all my fans but #MentalHealth is real and I’m not about to play inside the ring I’ve watched a lot of people die playing with they boxing career & that is something I won’t do just pray for me I love the sport of boxing to much to not give my all & I feel Like I came up short before because my mind wasn’t 100%," Adrien wrote.

Broner says he needs to change some stuff in his life before he takes another boxing match.

"I need to make some changes for the better instead of worrying about other people feelings & pleasing them when In all reality I have nothing to prove to nobody," AB wrote, adding, "I have to step back & overcome this obstacle before I go put my life on the line inside the square circle again I know I’m far from being finished with the sport SEE YALL SOON #Respectfully"

This is the 2nd time AB & Figueroa -- a former lightweight champ with only 2 losses were supposed to fight before the bout was canceled. In 2018, Omar was forced to pull out with an injury.
