Leave a comment



While the Christmas season is Filled with Joy, Love, and Endearment for our family and friends, NO OFFENSE but sometimes we need a break from our lives to escape and get some gaming in, and with the state of our economy and inflation… games are not cheap and neither is anything else, So check out these gaming sales and take advantage of these deals while you can!


Starting off with Xbox. They have the latest Xbox Series X Console on the Walmart Website for 349$ as opposed to buying it directly from Microsoft for now 399$, coming down from the original price point of 499$. This is a great time to get one of these mini fridge looking consoles!

As for Video games! The Xbox Store is having a huge sale on games with some Triple A Titles to Small indie games at some of the lowest prices you will see all year.

Here are some of my recommendations.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare III – 69.99$ 48.99$,
With the Vault Edition Going from 99.99$ 79.99$.

Madden NFL 24 – 69.99$ 27.99$

Elden Ring 59.99$ 35.99$

if you have missed out on any Xbox games this year, get them at a great price now! Game sale Ending 1/2/2024

Right now, most new Disc Edition Ps5’s are still at the price point of 500$ but GameStop has them on their website (new) for 449$ not as big as a drop as the Xbox consoles but hopefully next year they will follow Microsoft and drop them down to 400$.

onto the games! Playstation also has a game sale going on! Here are some recommendations.

God of War: Ragnarök – 69.99$ 39.89$

Navigating the music industry is not without its challenges, but Yerm recognizes the importance of marketing and promotion in reaching a wider audience. “You are a walking brand,” he says, emphasizing the importance of artists taking control of their image and their music.

The conversation takes a turn towards Yerm’s future ambitions as he shares his plans for upcoming projects and performances. He talks excitedly about his focus on creating more content and working on visuals, hinting at new music on the horizon.

In the heart of the independent music scene, amidst the cacophony of emerging talents, one artist, Yerm, stands out. I recently had the pleasure of catching up with Yerm, known for his unique approach to music and his ambition to use his platform to help others.

When we last spoke in September 2021, Yerm was described as an ‘awesome lyricist’ with a talent for capturing the pulse of the streets in his verses. Fast forward to now, and I found Yerm in a different role, one that complements his artistic persona. He has been working as a youth advocate, channeling his passion for music into a platform that serves a dual purpose – showcasing his craft and providing a springboard for other artists.

Yerm and I delved into his innovative project, a content creator channel. “I had the ambition to create music to put on the channel,” Yerm told me, his eyes lighting up with the enthusiasm of a man on a mission. “I knew that it led to getting exposure on our own platform.”

Yerm

In our conversation, Yerm didn’t shy away from discussing the realities of the music industry. He spoke candidly about the paradigm shift in the industry, with artists now opting for distribution deals rather than traditional record label contracts. “Signing to artists assigned to an artist, that could be a messy business,” Yerm warned.

Yet, despite the challenges, Yerm remains undeterred. He emphasized the importance of establishing oneself in their own city. “You have to establish yourself in your own city,” he insisted, pointing out that live performances and tours remain a significant source of income for artists.

Yerm: What’s Next?

Looking ahead, Yerm is focused on expanding his reach. “The main thing is that I have to be proactive in making music,” he shared. His vision for the future includes more music, more exposure, and the continuous growth of his content creator channel.

As we concluded our chat, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of admiration for Yerm. He’s not just an artist; he’s a visionary, a youth advocate, and a trailblazer who is redefining the independent music scene. Yerm is a testament to the power of creativity, resilience, and determination. As a fan and as an interviewer, I eagerly anticipate his next move.

So do yourself a favor, check out Yerm’s YouTube page. Dive into his world, experience his music, and witness an artist who is genuinely shaping the future of independent music.

From the trailer it seems like we could get a new phone system and possibly a tiktok-esque application in-game, with the new Developers from CFX.re, this is a giant possibility. as there are many Working Social Media clones in modded games of FIVEM.

It seem’s like we could be heading to Back to Vice City & More locations.

The Lani Mays Article can be found below as it appears in No Offense Magazine Winter 2023:

“A Candid Conversation with Independent Artist, Lani Mays”

As I sit across from Lani Mays, independent recording artist and creative powerhouse, it’s impossible not to be struck by his passion, authenticity, and determination. Mays is a force to be reckoned with – a vibrant artist with a story to tell, not just through his music but also through his experiences navigating the industry.

Over the past year, Mays has been busy releasing music, shooting videos, and engaging in activities outside of the music sphere, all of which he believes have boosted his career. “I’ve done a lot of stuff outside of music that kind of intertwined with it, bringing a whole new set of eyes,” he shares, his eyes gleaming with the sheer joy of creation.

But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Mays opens up about a negative encounter with a duplicitous promoter who promised him opportunities to open for major artists. It turned out to be a scam. However, Mays has turned this disappointing experience into a lesson for other upcoming artists. “Be wary of scams,” he warns, “Take control of your own career, invest in your music, and don’t rely too heavily on others.”

His advice doesn’t stop there. Mays emphasizes the importance of independent artists maintaining ownership of their masters. “We need more people in power who are not just athletes or musicians or entertainers,” he says, highlighting the need for artist empowerment in the music industry.

When asked about his thoughts on major labels, Mays doesn’t shy away from discussing the scandals surrounding them. He believes in the power of the internet in gaining notoriety and speaks about the importance of collaborations with prominent artists.

Mays has a rich palette of musical preferences, from R&B to chill rap, and he likes to rap about his own experiences and achievements. “If I’m out here on runway fashion shows, I’m a rap about that. If I’m getting booked for interviews, doing shows, doing whatever, I’m a rap about it,” he declares.

As our conversation draws to a close, Mays encourages listeners to check out his previous interviews and avail of his photography and videography services. His passion and dedication are palpable, and one thing is clear – Lani Mays is an independent artist determined to carve out his own path in the music industry.

So next time you’re on the hunt for new music or an artist with a fresh perspective, remember the name – Lani Mays. This is one independent artist who is defining success on his own terms, and we can’t wait to see where his journey takes him next.

I, Matt Arrington, Owner of No Offense LLC, produce music under the name DJ BellyGoat. Music has always been a fundamental part of my life, and an outlet for me. When I was very young, I was intrigued with the sounds of the organ and piano in church. My parents made a way for me to take lessons from the very same piano player for many years! Mrs. Cheryll Copeland gave me an appreciation for music through theory and experience as I learned the piano, which in turn made it easy for me to pick up many other instruments while in school.

Producing beats and working with audio is definitely a good headspace i visit to decompress. I don’t get to do it often, but when I do get the chance, its very therapeutic.

I have had the honor of producing for a few up and coming artists with extremely bright careers and futures.

Check out “Pressure” by Lani Mays ft. Big Baby Mal as well as some of my instrumental tracks on all streaming platforms.
