Mazi KaBi is a rapper from West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Not too long ago, he released a heartfelt hip-hop tune, entitled, “Wake Up (Dreams Come True)”.

“‘Cause you’re the brightest little light in my darkness. Yeah, I thought it was all bad until I saw you. What it means to be a dad is enormous. I’ma give you the whole world and all the fortune. That’s in the plan, that’s the plan, so merci beaucoup. ‘Cause you’re great and they may hate on you.” – lyrics

‘Wake Up (Dreams Come True)’ contains a relatable storyline, pleasing rap vocals, and vibey instrumentation flavored with a contemporary hip-hop aroma.

“I’m putting all active dads with daughters in the spotlight—letting people know there are still good dads out here.” – Mazi KaBi

I have to finish the story...
You are Alan wake, a world famous author struggling with a severe case of writers block.
Agreeing to take a vacation away from it all, you arrive at your location and quickly discover that it's a ploy, an attempt at getting you back into the writer's chair and finish your book.... A book that you have no recollection of starting to begin with.

As things quickly take a dark turn, a small town and its residents begin to change, becoming possessed with only one objective - to kill Alan Wake!

A mix of I am alive and alone in the dark, Alan wake serves up a deeply physiological factor that has you question the characters own sanity.

A dark tale of survival indeed.

Alan Wake- is one of those games that is highly underrated. It is a great game. It mixs horror with suspense with thrills with adventure and action.

The Plot: The story follows best-selling thriller novelist Alan Wake as he tries to uncover the mystery behind his wife's disappearance during a vacation in the small fictional town of Bright Falls, Washington, all while experiencing events from the plot in his latest novel, which he cannot remember writing, coming to life.

In its pacing and structure, Alan Wake is similar to a thriller television series, with episodes that contain plot twists and cliffhangers. The game itself consists of six episodes, and the storyline is continued by two special episodes, titled "The Signal" and "The Writer", that were made available as downloadable content (DLC) within the same year of the game's release. Together, they make the first season of a possibly longer story. Additionally, a six-episode live-action web series called Bright Falls acts as a prequel to the game, and a number of related books also expand upon the Alan Wake story.

Lets talk about the game: Alan Wake is described by Remedy as "the mind of a psychological thriller" and "the body of a cinematic action game" put together. In interviews, the game's creators hold that the game does not belong squarely in the survival horror video game genre.

The player controls the eponymous protagonist Alan Wake. In the game, a "darkness" is taking over humans, animals and objects. These enemies, dubbed the "Taken", are murderous shadows that attack Wake, wielding weapons of their own, ranging from.

The Taken are protected by a shield of darkness, initially rendering them impervious to attack; they can only be injured with a firearm after exposure to light, which burns the darkness away. This puts significant emphasis on flashlights in conjunction with conventional weapons, such as a revolver or shotgun. Flashlight beams act as a reticle.

The player is often encouraged to take advantage of environmental light sources and placing, and to use other light-based weapons and accessories, such as flare guns, hand-held flares and flashbangs.

So this game mixs survival with fantasy with reality with horror with suspense and so much more.

I would highly reecordmend playing this game.

Just remembered this old board game, largely due to the squeaky Frankenstein toy. You move around a board designed on Frankenstein's Castle. Your player piece has to pick up their colour key and make it to the laboratory. However Frankenstein might wake and capture your player!

Wake up with KF
The KF morning show is alright. For me, it is more of a background show while I get ready for work in the morning. However, because it is on every morning, sometimes I feel that the guys are scraping the barrel for content to discuss.
  
Another fantastic album from Coheed, including some of their best material: from Welcome Home (an acoustic opening that Metallica would be proud of) to the beautiful Wake Up. To understand the album title, you have to appreciate the world of Amory Wars, the graphic novels accompanying the music.

"Milton's great epic recasts Odysseus as Satan—the warrior who, in the wake of a great battle, struggles to regain his home and place of power. But it also reimagines Odysseus and Penelope as Adam and Eve: the human couple whose "wandering steps" may finally take them to a new kind of home."

Better Off Barefoot is a duo based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, they released a charming indie-pop tune, entitled, “When I Wake”.

“Hope you go to sleep now. I let myself fall away. I hear what you’re saying. How did I let you stay? I’m not holding back now. Let go of my old ways. Let go of my troubles knowing we’ll be okay.” – lyrics

‘When I Wake’ tells an interesting tale of a young woman who is optimistic about the future.

The likable tune contains a relatable storyline, soft vocals, and mellow instrumentation flavored with alternative and indie elements.

“‘When I Wake’ is about the process of finding your peace in all the chaos. Learning to let go, bouncing back, and in a new light moving into who you want to be.” – Better Off Barefoot

Better Off Barefoot met in Chicago three years ago. Since then, they’ve been making music together and perfecting their sound.

Bradley produces the music and Elle sings and writes the songs. They describe their music as a mixture of pop, indie, and electronic music.
