Jordan Groggs of the hip-hop trio Injury Reserve has died, as confirmed by the group's social media accounts on Tuesday. "REST IN POWER Jordan Alexander Groggs a loving father, life partner and friend" they wrote on both Twitter and Instagram.

At this time, no cause of death has been revealed. 

Jordan rapped under the name Stepa J. Groggs, and he began collaborating with Injury Reserve's Nathaniel Ritchie (Ritchie With a T) at some point around 2012 after working at a Vans store that Ritchie's mom was running. At that time, Ritchie was a teen. Stereo Gum reports that Groggs developed into a mentor figure for his younger/future collaborator. The third member, producer Parker Corey, joined them shortly afterward thereby completing the trio, with Groggs and Ritchie rapping over beats composed by Corey. In the years since then they'd put out a pair of EPs: Cooler Colors (2014) and Drive It Like It's Stolen (2017), a pair of mixtapes: Live from the Dentist Office (2015), and Floss (2016), and most recently a self-titled studio album in 2019.

In addition to informing fans of his death, the group also shared a link to a GoFundMe page that says:

REST IN POWER Jordan Alexander Groggs a loving father, life partner, and friend.  Groggs’s heart has touched everyone he has came across. He will live on through his family, supporters, and the communities he was apart of. 

Jordan Alexander Groggs is survived by Anna and their four children Joey, Jayden, Toph, and Ari. 

As of this writing, that page had raised nearly $36,000 (against an original goal of $25,000). You can visit/contribute here should you decide to do that.

https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE). Este repunte se explica fundamentalmente por un mayor volumen de comisiones aplicadas en los préstamos y créditos bancarios. De hecho, el TEDR (la TAE excluyen...

Colorado High School Coach Says He Was Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

-
https://ift.tt/Oj01b3 Colorado high school students are demonstrating in support of Inoke Tonga, a volleyball coach who claims he was forced to resign from his job because of his sexuality.  According to the  Denver Post , Tonga left his position at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, where he had coached the volleyball team during the 2020-2021 school year. The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
