Empire Songs Season 2
Fantasy is not an escape from reality instead it’s a way of understanding it.  This theory certainly reigns true when it comes to this season’s extraordinary Empire songs. Season 2 featured unforgettable tracks from Jamal Lyon (Jussie Smollett) and Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) so it was no surprise when Jamal and Lucious both receive nominations for Song of the Year.

The season finale of Fox’s record-breaking hip-hop series featured the return of Naomi Cambell.  On Empire’s initial season Campbell was featured in numerous episodes as Camilla Marks.
We can learn some valuable lessons from Naomi Campbell. On Empire’s midseason finale Camilla returns and informs Hakeem of her plan.  “Everything I did was for you, for us.” 
Talent v. Experience
In Empire’s first season Hakeem attempted to convince Lucious that he was ready to take over the family business.  The young rapper is as talented as they come yet he lacks the experience necessary to run the Empire.  Unlike Hakeem, Camilla has wisdom and implements her clever strategy in order to remove Lucious from Empire Entertainment.
The members of Fox’s Next Empire Artist semi-finalist group ‘Ball in the House‘ understand that talent means nothing whereas experience and hard work mean everything.

The group has been wowing audiences since the 90s with their fascinating performances and magnificent recordings.  Experience enables you to collaborate with people you admire.  Ball in the House has performed with several talented artists including Gladys Knight, Kool & the Gang and Smokey Robinson.

The following video shows the group performing an abridged cover of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Thinking Out Loud’:

Ball in the House is at the top of their game and among the elite contemporary groups worldwide.  Every winning team has experienced members and Ball in the House in no exception.  Over the past 20+ years the group has built an Empire and may soon be expanding its reach to Fox’s throne.
