Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, better known by his stage name XXXTentacion, is a rising star in the music world. Riding a wave of underground buzz from his single “Look At Me,” the 19-year old rapper hailing from Florida’s Broward County shot to stardom nearly overnight in 2017. His debut album “17” hit No. 2 on the Billboard charts, he was named to XXL Magazine’s freshman class of 2017 and soon began collaborating with some of hip-hop’s biggest stars. D.R.A.M brought XXXTentacion out for a guest song in front of a sold-out crowd at the Staples Center on August 10th, and the astoundingly popular Kendrick Lamar used one of his few tweets to promote “17”, urging his more than nine million Twitter followers to “listen to this album if you feel anything,” in an Aug. 25 post.
Since last semester, the University has made dining changes across campus, including additions to dining halls and a large-scale switch to a new kosher supervision agency.
Due to system updates, printing was free in the library the first few weeks of school. The catch, however, was that taking advantage of the free printing meant waiting in line for the sole functioning printer to slowly print off dozens of pages of backlogged documents.
This week, justArts spoke with Alli Steinberg ’19, who went on the Brandeis in Siena summer abroad program.
It’s that time of year again when we send off the sweet sounds of summer. Summer 2017’s soundtrack was full of experimental and enticing album drops; this was possibly the best selection the season has ever brought. As September comes to a close, here is a recap of what I listened to these past few months.
The University’s agenda this year includes further discussion of free expression principles, decisions on new general education requirements and the hiring of new staff, University President Ronald Liebowitz told the Brandeis community in a Sept. 8 email.
Both Brandeis cross country teams took the top spots in the season-opening Wellesley College Invitational on Friday Sept. 1.
See the work of Brandeis Prof. Sean Downey (FA) at the Steven Zevitas Gallery in Boston’s South End. The show, titled “Wholly Idle,” features a new group of large scale paintings that critique the underlying circumstances of an image’s origins. Drawing on the history of mechanical reproduction, Downey makes powerful assertions on the role of image production as it is compared to lived experience. Wholly Idle is on display until Oct. 28; gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Part-time faculty ratified a labor contract with the University’s administration on May 10, the first of its kind at the University.
Over the years, the Justice has been fortunate to have many dedicated editors, and this year, we must bid farewell to four of the best. These editors have been an invaluable contribution to the paper, and as they leave Brandeis to begin the next chapters of their lives, this board reflects on their time here and commends them on their achievements.
Students and panelists from the University and beyond gathered for one of Brandeis’ first student-led healthcare conferences on Friday afternoon.
Imagine spending several thousand dollars to attend a music festival in the Bahamas, only to be greeted upon arrival by disaster relief tents, cold sandwiches and no music. While there are easier things to imagine than having that kind of discretionary income, that is exactly what happened to many music fans — primarily millennials — who shelled out up to $12,780 for tickets and lodging at Fyre Fest, a luxury music weekend on an island previously owned by Pablo Escobar, according to an April 28 CNN article. Dreamt up by early-2000s rapper Ja Rule and social entrepreneur Billy McFarland, Fyre Fest was marketed exclusively on social media and promoted by the likes of Instagram icons such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski, according to an April 28 New York Times article. On Thursday, April 28, the commercialization of music festival culture and the exponential rise of social media’s influence collided in the Exumas, and there was not an Instagram filter that could make it look good.
On an average day, Chapel’s Field looks bare. On a sunny day it’s filled with people tanning and throwing frisbees. On Sunday, April 30, Chapel’s Field had taco and hot dog trucks, a beer garden, free pizza, and multiple BEMCo tents ready to help if anyone was hurt, not to mention a gigantic stage.

The opening round of the National Basketball Association playoffs consisted of many exciting matchups that nearly became upsets at times, but ultimately finished with top teams as victors. Most dominant were the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, who were able to sweep the first four games versus the Indiana Pacers and Portland Trailblazers, respectively. Additionally, the Houston Rockets coasted to a five-game series win versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, knocking out MVP candidate Russell Westbrook. However, other top teams struggled at times in games, like the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics, who all won the round 4-2.
