Just-Watch—Dr-Pushkin-3

Isolirium Entertainment presents

Dr. Pushkin

This a jam ain’t no sugarcoat 

On the TV Murder She Wrote

On the radio uuuuuuh

We in the stereo

Jumping on stages

And setting the place aglow

Gingsen

Gingsen

Verse 1 – Gingsen

I was awake

Remember back in the day

I couldn’t count my mistakes

But me I base

Brought a change to my ways

Leveled up to the pace 

The levels has changed 

Even my homies don’t treat me the same 

It’s a fair exchange 

Been to hell and back with nothing to gain

I tell  expensive tales

Kanari ena enari

They wanna know how I got it

But I gave it my whole life

I was doing the most 

Cos dreams are valid 

I was thinking most nights about it

On a hungry belly with no money 

Soo when I win small then I chill small

Cheers to life Raise your glasses

CHORUS

Put all my blood sweat & tears

Through the valley no fears 

Now allow me say cheers 

Surviving these years 

Champion no easy 

Champion no easy 

Many wars are being fought

But mans up still breathing

Verse 2 – Dr Pushkin

This a jam ain’t no sugarcoat 

On the tv Murder She Wrote

On the radio uuuuuuh

We in the stereo

Jumping on stages

And setting the place aglow

Place aglow

Place aglow

Place aglow

Jumping on stages

And setting the place aglow

Jam ain’t no sugar coat

On the tv Murder She Wrote

Got The Game

Right here

She deep throat

She slurping 

I’m making her choke

Fuck a hater don’t give a thought

We from Texas we keep it hot

Straight from Bolga 

uhhhhhh that’s even hotter

Path to the victory

Spell it out for ya

V for the Vision

I (Eye) for Integrity

All for the CT(city)

I put O(n) for the city

R for resilience, got more in store

Y(Why)? Always Yearning  for more

Your top 3 they can see me lurking

Go against me – man you out of luck kin

Better with time like i’m Benjamin Button

So unique make them look like eunuchs 🤣

CHORUS

Put all my blood sweat & tears

Through the valley no fears 

Now allow me say cheers 

Surviving these years

Champion no easy 

Champion no easy 

Many wars are being fought

But mans up still breathing

Hook – King Ayisoba

Nɛra ka boi n wan wa’am dunia

(There is nobody who will come into)

Wina’am ka bo e tuuma 

(This world without God giving them talent)

tunsɛka ti Wina’am dikɛ bo fu,

(The talent that God gave you)

ŋmibe paŋa, ŋmibe paŋa

(Try your best, keep pushing)

Kaikaikaikaikaikai

Champion no easy,

Champion no easy,

You for make training hard

Mbheeeeeeeeee!!!

Champion no easy, 

Champion no easy,

You for make training hard

The Soul behind the song.

Music and art are tools for many things; while the fun is great, the motivation is much needed. No Easy by Dr Pushkin is that song that reminds us all about the need to build a resilient persona and keep going. Being a champion is not easy, but it is possible.

Ataman Nikita is a Brand New Talent from Bolgatanga

Ataman-Nikita-Ft-Dr-Pushkin—Enigma-Available-Now

Ataman Nikita’s Enigma in retrospect

He is a refreshing voice set to place Bolgatanga on the world musical Map. With an impressive body of work being curated, his first single released today will serenade music lovers. Titled Enigma, Ghanaian music lovers with a knack for pure talent should expect stellar musicianship. Enigma is coming on the heels of a song featuring Dr. Pushkin and Strongman released a month ago, “Still Here”.

Becoming this talented

Cognisant that artistry is a honed craft that draws from many influences, Ataman Nikita has, through the years, worked on his skill and believes the time is now. The singer was introduced to classical and Russian folk music early on due to his early years in Russian (as he is part Russian). However, traveling and settling in Bolgatanga exposed him to other music genres such as RnB, Hip Hop, Highlife, Hiplife, Traditional Kologo Music, and Afrobeats from different eras. Those above guided his development as a vocalist with control over various music styles. 

His forte as a singer remains the ability to fuse himself into any song to create the right feel. Whether entertainment or a pure display of talent, Ataman Nikita brings complimenting emotions to every beat he performs on.

The man behind the song

His first single is titled Enigma; this title draws a mysterious persona surrounding his existence and functioning in Bolgatanga. To many, he is Richard Azunre, a network administrator at the Bolgatanga Technical University and a lecturer who has tutored many former students in the Upper East Region. However, his stature as an entertainer has always remained a mystery. His voice has been featured in countless top songs by his brother, Dr Pushkin.

He is also featured on songs with Soorebia, B-Wayne, and others. Whenever he does not appear as an artiste in songs, his voice appears as the mysterious Isolirium in all productions from the record label. 

Enigma is a revelation of the face behind that soothing voice that has created several hooks, choruses, and verses to many songs from Isolirium Entertainment. It is also the first single from Ataman Nikita’s Album set for release in the last quarter of 2024. Having announced his decision to pursue music professionally with a feature on Still Here, Enigma cements the new venture of Richard Azunre, better known in music circles as Ataman Nikita.

Once again, Bolgatanga will advance the discourse of harboring some of the finest musical talents in Ghana. 

Ataman Nikita is a native of Bolgatanga and was born to a Russian mother and a Gurune father. He spent his early years in Russia, Ghana, and New York. However, he settled in Ghana to pursue a systems administrator and university lecturer career.

Wyldthang Breaths New Fire on Winning with Dr Pushkin and Budukusu

What Wyldthang brought to ‘Winning’?

There are rappers whose daily objective is to impress. However, there exist others who focus on being the best. But we know that seeking to impress calls for swaying to trends and what’s in vogue. However, perfecting your craft remains the standout factor. Such is the case of Wyldthang, the Houston rapper featured on the Remix of Dr Pushkin and Budukusu’s Winning. 

He prides himself in “being Willie Good”; the phrase is about an Austin – Texas legend Willie Nelson. He is an American country singer, guitarist, songwriter, and activist. He has remained peerless in skill and style to the extent that at age 91, he’s still performing to fans. His kind of perfection is what guides his pursuit of music as a career. As a street poet, his lyrics usually reflect his emotions juxtaposed with a unique worldview. In the process, he has become a lyrical dynamo with a penchant for releasing awe-inspiring lyrics.  

In a short interaction about discovering his talent, here’s what he said.

“Like everyone else, I’ve loved music all my life. On this journey, I believe everybody lives out their own story. Stories become songs. I tell my story through my songs.”

How he Met Dr Pushkin.

His relationship with Dr Pushkin started when the latter performed at SXSW 2022. He was awed by the performance. When Winning was later performed, Thang went wild with love for the song. 

In a classic case of “real recognize real” the two artists, got a conversation going. The result of that conversation is a remix of Winning. 

Previous Works

He is a lover of motorcycles. His passion for Bikes led to him making an entire album titled Motorcycle Music in 2021. The Album featured nine songs. 

He also released another album titled RIZE. 

The incredible rapper is gearing up to release another album, Graffiti City. If you loved his flow on Winning, you will be awed by his next project. The rapper has also teamed up with Vox Machina to form The 6th Street Rebelz. The 6th Street Rebelz is currently gracing all stages across the Austin-Texas area. He also has several singles out there.

The Story Behind Winning

Before this remix, Winning rode the tides of encouragement for all in pursuit of success. People are often scared to try or continue. A situation that stems from tying their gains to others. However, while the people around you can play roles in your life, knowing your ability is paramount. “Winning” thus encourages all to avoid self-inflicted doubt. 

The ever-enigmatic Budukusu complimented Dr Pushkin’s resounding words of wisdom on the first version of the song. However, with this new performance on the song, Winning has been given a new feel that encapsulates two different cultures and worldviews. Call it the Americanised version of Winning, and you’ve got it right. While Budukusu combines dancehall/reggae vibes with the song, Dr Pushkin goes philosophical. Wyldthang then brings an impressive flow of uplifting words capable of winning American rap fans. 

Winning was mixed and mastered by Lloyd Osei Baffour Peewezel-cue with Esi Hooper on the choir

Dr Pushkin and Collaborations

This song is Dr Pushkin’s second feature of an artist from the Austin Area. His first song was with Aggie, an artist from Austin. The song is titled Forgive Them and was released with a stellar music video resonating with the song’s quality and value.  

Dr Pushkin known in academia as Paul Azunre is expected to speak at the Ghana Natural Language Processing launch of an AI Conference series later in June this year. The event is dubbed “nhyAImu”, a Twi word which means “a gathering”. However, the “AI” in the word stands for Artificial Intelligence. nhyAImu is a collaboration between Academic City University College and NLP-Ghana. Khaya Language App, Africa’s leading speech recognition and language translation AI tool will be the focus of this event.

Themed “Unveiling the future of African Languages with Khaya AI”, the focus areas of the conference include the following:

  • Introduction to Ghana NLP and its mission
  • Overview of engineering pipelines emphasising MLOps
  • Detailed demo and guidelines on using Khaya AI’s APIs

There will also be an interactive Q & A session.

nhyAImu will take place on the campus of Academic City University College in Accra, on 12th June 2024. Time is 10am – 12pm.

Despite working tirelessly on his Khaya App, he’s gained a reputation for featuring artists worthy of the tag “artist”, and not necessarily trending artists.

Dr Pushkin is in the meantime readying a monster rap song featuring Kumasi’s finest rapper.

2024 has been a busy year for Dr Pushkin. Check out his releases for 2024 below. 

Dr Pushkin 2024 – Songs released so far 

Just Watch & Learn How to excel as a musician

How to dominate as a musician: Just Watch

Just-Watch—Dr-Pushkin-3

Dr. Pushkin returns with another mind-buster; this time around, he recruits fellow rapper CJ Biggerman and singer Taitan. The three musicians take us on a musical swell that emanates from the heart, preaches reality, and admonishes a lacklustre attitude. Music isn’t just mumbled words; it’s melodious and creative words strung in a creative way for the purpose of communication. Just Watch

 Just Watch by Dr. Pushkin, Cj Biggerman, Taitan (isolirium.com)

The music business is convoluted; however, there remain prying eyes who are best asked to “just watch.” In this classic piece of hip-hop, three “flowrators” express what makes them stand out despite not being popular. To these artists, music is from within, and so long as the spirit stirs, bangers like Just Watch are a serving that will continue to flow for fans.

If you are a lover of rap and hip-hop, you will probably remember Game’s It’s Okay (One Blood), featuring Junior Ried.

Taitan’s Work

Taitan Melodies brings that vibe to this well-crafted hip-hop song with an impressive reggae dancehall feel. Gritty, witty, and a well-thought-out pen game performed like a master, Taitan opens the song with the words:

Just-Watch—Dr-Pushkin-2

“Ah, we dem ah watch.
Like Netflix, enuh
Watch this
Sumn fi yuh watch”.

 Just Watch (Dr. Pushkin, Cj Biggerman, Taitan) – LYRIC VIDEO (youtube.com)

More like speaking to the essence of being lyrically and musically superior in a way that warrants a “just watch.” The reggae and dancehall artist with an impressive catalog brought a new dimension to Dr. Pushkin’s music by way of style. Despite the fact that Just Watch is a hip-hop banger, Taitan’s vocal delivery complemented the awesome performances of CJ Biggerman and Dr. Pushkin. Taitan starts the song and ends it with a reminder of who an artist is. A resilient creative who ignores all vile commentary to remain focused on what is most important, i.e., the music.

CJ Biggerman’s Performance

CJ Biggerman has made waves many times on the Ghana rap scene. From appearing on Sarkodie’s Bibiba to accosting and dropping one of the illest freestyles to American rapper Rick Ross, the rapper has never slowed down.

When in 2022 and 2023 he became his mother Big Ivy’s number one hypeman, many may have thought the licenced-to-rap artist was slowing down. However, releases like Wabodam ft. Halfco Baby are a testament to this rapper’s awesomeness.

Jumping on Just Watch by Dr. Pushkin is an extension of superior rap antics that elicits every element of rap. He also emphasises the importance of staying true to his calling while reminding fans of his other exploits. Through the song, CJ Biggerman expresses the nonchalance associated with being on top of your game.

Dr Pushkin’s take

In Just Watch, the ingenious Dr. Pushkin takes his bars towards more puns and similes while insouciantly expressing his focus on his game as a rapper and tech entrepreneur. The sentiment expressed through Just Watch indicts the general treatment of artists who aren’t regarded as mainstream or big spenders. The situation where talents aren’t offered opportunities to push the music to the fans often bedevils the strides of many. However, the tried and tested method has been to keep dropping them bangers till they can’t ignore you.

Dr Pushkin’s 2024 Pursuits.

Just Watch is the 3rd song from Dr. Pushkin for 2024; it is worth noting that Dr. Pushkin is blessing pumped up and ready to bless 2024 with between 30 and 40 songs. He might just drop more.

Dr. Pushkin in 2024 has released No Heroes, featuring Lyrical Joe, and “No Go Go,” featuring Kojo-Cue. Both songs have received massive reviews from music critics.

Just Watch was produced by Dr Pushkin for Isolirium Entertainment.

In the next couple of weeks, another banger drops. In the meantime, stream Just Watch on all digital platforms below.

This is Incredible – Kologo Fusion Sounds better

No-Go-Go-By-Dr-Puskin-Ft.-Ko-jo-Cue-&-Ataman-Nikita-(Artwork) – Kologo Fusion

 No Go Go by Dr. Pushkin, Ko-Jo Cue, Ataman Nikita (isolirium.com)

Kologo Fusion is set to reign.

The talk about who wins a Grammy from Ghana has been a subject of debate for a long time. However, very little attention has been paid to the ingenious music being made by musicians without the A-list or Mainstream Tag. Artists like Wiyaala, Atongo Zimba, Worlasi, and others who stand out for their ingenuity are never considered potential winners. However, with the release of No Go Go! by Dr Pushkin ft. Ko-Jo Cue and Ataman Nikita, one may be tempted to ask, “What will it take to win a Grammy as a Ghanaian artist?”. Is it just attempting to fit into popular genres or using established genres as a footing to create imaginative, artful, and inventive music?

Ordinarily, most artists would be clamouring at the successful fusion of sounds that has the potential to birth a new genre or direction. However, when two talented creatives meet, the satisfaction is in bringing art and impact to the fore; such is the case of this masterpiece of a song. No No Go! It thrives on rhythmic percussion backed by the pleasing, incessant sound of the Kologo. In what Dr Pushkin calls “Kologo Fusion”, the genre is not just another attempt at creating something new but a conscious fusion of indigenous sound and musical instruments in popular music genres, offering a refreshing listenership to fans and music lovers.

Despite being a fun song, No Go Go is art-in-protest; the lyrics are a resounding reminder of the need to stand firm against the systematic failures of leadership. Time and again, Ghanaians have suffered instances where politicians use state institutions to shut up people who speak against the system’s wrongs. However, No Go Go! is a reminder to the powers that be about the relentlessness of the people despite the oppressive antics. It is a reminder that the people will match and protest till the wrongs become right.

Who else to recruit for such an experimental sound but Ko-Jo Cue? Kojo Amankwah Cue, better known as Ko-Jo Cue, has proven to be an amazing lyricist, storyteller, and voice for the voiceless. While he doesn’t pick up a megaphone to chant impactful messages, his music has always contained a full dose of serving as a person. It, therefore, came as no surprise when Dr Pushkin chose to collaborate with him on creating a beautiful song set to be the anthem for protests in Ghana and beyond. For a rapper whose album “For My Brothers” contains so much about life, he is well-experienced in life to put that to a beat.

Ataman Nikita, a brother to Dr Pushkin, also brought on his melodious voice to No Go Go with hooks and a chorus, giving the song a flawless transition from one point to another. His impressive vocals combined with the rap performances by Dr Pushkin and Ko-Jo Cue over the beautiful Kologo Fusion instrumental by AzkonnaBeatz has birthed No Go Go, a new sound capable of putting Ghana at the top of ingenious music production.

What is Kologo Fusion?

Kologo is the popular 2-string guitar found mostly amongst the Gurune-speaking ethnic groups of the Upper East Region. It has become a symbol of what truly exudes the musical culture of that particular ethnic group. The instrument is behind successful and ingenious artists like Atongo Zimba, King Ayisoba, Stevo Atambire and several traditional musicians from the Bolga area who are conquering the world with its unique sound.

Kologo Fusion is a blend of the musical instrument in popular music genres. While rap has likely been fused with it for decades, the current modern iteration of the sound can likely be traced to Soorebia’s “2 Strings” – a track produced by AzkonnaBeatz and featuring rapper Akan. Artists Wanlov The Kubolor and Stevo Atambire have also contributed immensely through their collective “Alostmen” and their unique brand of Rap. No Go Go! is the first of Dr. Pushkin’s fusion songs, and we can expect several more to appear on the album, including one with Stevo Atambire.

North2South Experience: A Musical Journey Set To Captivate America’s Heart

North2South Experience in America

Having staged 2 Successful Music events in Accra & Bolgatanga, Texas, Ghanaian Rapper Dr Pushkin has dared to test the waters in the US. Under the North2South Experience franchise, the event seeks to bring Ghanaian artists in the Austin, Texas, Area and their American Counterparts to the same stage. The event will occur inside the Volstead Lounge in Austin on December 3rd, 2023, from 7:30 PM. While admitting a dichotomy between the North and South divide worldwide, the musicians billed to perform each represent the North or South of their respective nations. The idea is to foster a creative unity to help defy the economic disparity often associated with the North and South divide.

Dubbed North2South Experience – Austin, the event is a collaboration between Isolirium Entertainment and Underground Voices Live, an independent creative platform in Austin – Texas, dedicated to giving new and upcoming artists a voice. 

North2South Experience Performers

North2South Experience Austin is a Hip Hop and Afrobeats Festival featuring incredible performances by Dr Pushkin, Koo Kusi, and Quata Budukusu, representing Ghana. Aggie, Ative, SpaceGoonz, The Boy, and WyldThang will represent America. The venue opens at 7:30 PM.

North2South Experience

What is the North2South Experience?

The concept was born of a desire to see Ghanaian artists have a tour opportunity with several stops that could span the entire country. Considering how polarized the Ghanaian Entertainment Industry is, a deliberate attempt to draw artists from the North and South of Ghana for a Nationwide Tour became necessary. With the above in hindsight, Dr Pushkin, who has been promoting his Outlandish Album, took the absence of an initiative like North2South Experience to initiate the same. Doing so through his Isolirium Entertainment Record Label, the rapper who doubles as an Artificial Intelligence prodigy has not only marketed his music but has created an opportunity for others.

The First two events under the North2South Experience franchise came off in Accra at the Alliance Francaise and in Bolgatanga at Jocom Golden Hotel. Both events saw an array of artists drawn from the North of Ghana and the South of Ghana. All artists on the bill proved worth the spotlight as they took turns mesmerizing fans who graced the events. Despite being a self-sponsored initiative, Isolirium Entertainment ensured stellar logistics characterized the event to give patrons quality output through sound, stage, and lighting.

The success of both shows has informed Isolirium Entertainment of the need to inject further ingenuity into future editions. Thus, subsequent editions will see an increase in venues and the creation of a Festival that would bring the North & South together through Art and entertainment.

Dr Pushkin is an SXSW 2023 Alumnus named an “Essential SXSW 2023 Act” by the Austin Chronicle. He first shot into prominence with his genre-bending conscious Trap tune “Questions” – the song highlighted the deficiency society suffers through a leadership that makes bad choices for the people.

North2South Experience, Austin, is the first event powered by Isolirium Entertainment outside Ghana.

Check a short documentary about the North2South Events in Ghana below.

North2South – Episode 1 – YouTube

Dr. Pushkin is an intriguing Ghanaian Artiste of Gurune extraction currently based in the United States of America. He holds a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  Sometime in 2019, Dr. Azunre made international headlines for his contributions to advancing the state of Optical System Design optimization algorithms. Many least expected the nerdy scientist to have a major interest in music. However, developing an algorithm that can guarantee to find the “best possible design” to an optical design problem was just the start of his quest to change society.  Today, he’s giving fans and music lovers something musically thrilling and mind-stimulating. 

Experience the Magic: Dr. Pushkin’s ‘OFFGRID’ Revolutionizes Sound

The Genesis of OFFGRID

OFFGRID is a mark of untouchability. It is the standout element for an enigmatic performer who enthrals fans with deep and entertaining music.

What happens when an artist stages an industry-standard event, pays for all aspects of it, ensures there is an honorarium for all guest performers, and gives fans three and a half hours of back-to-back musical performances? That is what OFFGRID served fans of Dr Pushkin.

There have been conversations about artists investing in their craft, however, the dynamics have never been fully discussed. Most artists resort to paying bloggers, presenters, deejays, and stream farms for brand growth. However, the fans have rarely been the centre of the “gifts” that grow brands. Even when artists decide to go beyond the traditional promotional plans, a relative lack of ingenuity retards the effects.

Realizing the importance of having a solid fan base, artists can create promotional antics that further endear them to fans. Beyond the gains associated with being a “hit” artist and one associated with the trends, it is worth acknowledging the effects of a “cult” following. The cult following is what follows you as an artist when the hits no longer drop.

OFFGRID

To fully enjoy the stature of having such a following, an artist must seek to get closer to their fans., this is what Dr Pushkin used OFFGRID to achieve. The event was used to bring the conscious rapper close to his fans in Accra. Setup in a way that allowed easy access to Dr. Pushkin, fans did have the opportunity to interact with him aside from enjoying the energetic performances.

Who performed at OFF GRID?

TeriWiizi performing at OFFGRID

For many artists, the struggle to grow is saddled with the competition with other artists, however, the positive effects of collaborations cast dents on such thoughts. While seeking to leave an impression on the minds of fans, Dr. Pushkin also sort to bring colleague musicians along. Bringing other performers to off-Grid was Dr. Pushkin’s effort towards sharing fans and also adding more exhilaration to the experience of his fans. True to his intention, the guest performers proved to be an awesome addition to OFF GRID.  Teri Wiizi, Aphee, Ataman Nikita, Kwadjo Spiri, Tradey, Gold Ganq, Walter Wani, and Silky Pablo, were the guest performers.

About Dr. Pushkin’s OFFGRID

The much-publicized OFFGRID by Dr. Pushkin and friends came off on the 13th of May 2023. Featuring an array of impressive rappers, singers, and the eclectic dance group Afrozig Divas, the event was a breath of fresh air for fans of Dr. Pushkin. With good music, free drinks, and sumptuous kebabs, Dr. Pushkin ensured the 4hrs were thrilling to fans.

For the first time in a long while, an artist with a focus on growing his brand set out to thrill close friends and fans to an exclusive performance. For Dr. Pushkin, this was the first opportunity to give Ghanaian fans a feel of his body of work. Having blessed SXSW in Texas USA with an impressive performance, the rapper journeyed to Accra, Ghana with a repertoire that represents his journey through the years.

Despite the free nature of the event, attendees could only access the event by RSVP. This was to give the conscious rapper the opportunity to prepare for his guests.

The nature of OFFGRID

OFFGRID came off at the serene and spacious Diddies Pub & Bar located inside East Legon, Accra. Despite the location, Isolirium Entertainment set up an industry-standard stage with lighting, as well as a PA system that could be likened to any musical event. Security for the night was also provided by Ghana Police.

OFFGRID was fully funded by Dr. Pushkin and his Isolirium Entertainment.

All you need to know about Khaya: Africa’s Number 1 Language AI App is Here

What is Khaya App?

Khaya

Khaya Language Translation and Speech Recognition AI is an app dedicated to translating and transcribing African Languages. Since its release in 2021, the developers, Ghana NLP and Algorine, have strived to ensure the App sees more and more improvement. From user-friendliness to the quality of translations, Khaya AI has continued to improve. Due to consistent hard work, the App’s AI’s Yoruba text translator outperformed Google Translate in 2022. 

New Languages Added

Building on the success of the App, the developers of the App have augmented its usefulness by adding more African Languages. Overall, the newly added languages will serve over 15 million Africans in Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Kenya – none of whom are presently served by tools like Google Translate.

Previously, it provided the world with Twi, Ga, Dagbani, and Yoruba Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) capabilities and Ga, Ewe, Dagbani, Twi, and Yoruba neural machine learning text translators. In the most recent update, Gurene aka Frafra, a Ghanaian language, and Kikuyu, Kimeru, and Luo (all Kenyan languages), have been added to the text translation system. The developers collaborated with the Harvard African Language School Professor John Mugane, who is Kenyan, to curate data and train models for the Kenyan languages. 

This new addition is a testament to Algorine’s and Ghana NLP’s quest to ensure Khaya AI’s relevance remains unparalleled. 

The Reason for developing the App

The app is to help preserve African Languages through advanced technology. Languages are going extinct by the day – this App is a sure way to teach Africans, African Diasporans, and anyone else who wants to learn to understand African languages. This will help ensure their continued use in everyday life.

Check out the impressive app’s Journey thus far via the link below:
