2015. Without a doubt, this year will forever hold special significance to me. Apart from my personal life activities, we saw a lot. We saw water on mars being discovered, Adele returning to the spotlight, and Star Wars mania return. While there were many positive topics, this year seemed to be weighed down with many sad topics too. From the tragic shootings in Paris to the Syrian refugee crisis to all the gun violence in America, there was a lot. It’s been quite the eventful year for real.

I know I’m writing my 2015 Year in Review, but it still hasn’t hit me that the year is almost over and we’re almost in 2016. Well, in the following column, I’ll revisit my own personal 2015 and touch on all the highlights. As I mentioned above, this year holds special significance and I’ll get into that. 2015 has been a year of years. So here it goes…my 2015 Year in Review.

“Back when I was nothin’, you made a brother feel like he was somethin’
That’s why I’m with you to this day boo, no frontin”

What is the meaning of love? It’s a million dollar question, isn’t it? Back in the day, I thought I knew the answer to that. Fast forward to today and I’m not so sure anymore. Times have changed, girls have come and gone, and priorities have shifted drastically. Love used to be “magical”…now, I don’t know what it is. Before digging deeper, think about it for a second…what is the meaning of love?

And the lessons and the messages they left, I get the drift”

There’s been a lot of great music that’s come out this past year (and lots more not-so-great stuff). Several of my favorite artists made comebacks this year, while others continued to do their thing. And of course, I debuted my first official video this year too. It’s been a good year for music videos, hasn’t it? It was hard for me to put together this list, especially when there were SO MANY videos released. I know I couldn’t include them all, but take a look at the list below and check out some of my favorites from 2011.
