2025 has come to a quick end. 2026 is upon us, FFTC Gang! Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete return with their highlights of 2025. Of course, they couldn’t get through all of them, but they shared what was memorable to them.

From music to movies to the hapn’s in the culture, ReRe and Pete break down…basically…the Roses and Cactuses of the year. Per usual, there is always great music (Clipse new album and Mass Appeal’s album run, etc.) and Black Joy in the culture. With that comes the foolishness (Diddy’s trial and documentary, etc.). Regardless, 2025 was one for the books…and we appreciate you all rocking with the team!

Enjoy the Black Joy and share with your kinfolks! Happy Holidays and we’ll see you in 2026…or before then *winks*!

In this Black Joy episode of Flowers For the Culture, Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete taps back in with what’s going on in the culture currently. ‘What’s Fresh In The Culture’ brings the two to speaking on things like Drake’s dismissed case against Kendrick Lamar, due to ‘nonactionable opinions’.

FFTC Gang! The gang leaders Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete have another special episode for you. We hope you got your laughing caps on!

The month of May is reserved for Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month. Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month is a celebration of the histories, cultures, and contributions of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States.

With that, ReRe brought the idea to the table to give flowers to actors Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
