Top Boy’s continuation on Netflix sees Dushane and Co. go global: We were all heartbroken when the London-based crime series (launched in 2011) was canceled after two seasons in 2013. But thanks to none other than Drake, Netflix revived the drama in 2019 and kicked it up a notch or two. For those who’ve been living under a rock: Top Boy follows childhood friends and council estate residents Dushane (Ashley “Asher D” Walters) and Sully (Kane “Kano” Robinson) as they try to grow their nascent narcotics empire in London and beyond. What ensues is a lot of drama with season three (season one on Netflix) depicting the pair going to war with a rival gang who poaches their supplier. Season 4 sees the kingpins expand to other parts of the world such as Morocco and Spain. You have plenty of time to catch up as the upcoming season is slated to come out sometime in 2023.

⚽ City seeks to hold onto its current standing at the top of the Premier League: Manchester City is expected to try to solidify its lead at the top of the English Premier League today when it hosts Newcastle at 5:30pm, after its rival Liverpool tied with Tottenham 1-1 yesterday. The current arrangement of the league sees the Reds topping the goal difference (83 points for both teams) with one less game for City, and therefore the latter will be able to tighten control over the competition if they beat Newcastle today.

Other matches in the English Premier League: Several matches started at 3pm and are continuing as we dispatch: Arsenal vs. Leeds – Leicester vs. Everton – Norwich vs. West Ham.

Madrid derby: At 9pm, the match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in the Spanish League will take place. The match isn’t really impactful for Real Madrid who were crowned in La Liga and reached the final of the Champions League, but it will be very important for Atletico, who wants to secure the Champions’ seat next season, as well as improve its ranking in the league from their current fourth spot.

Also in Spain: Villarreal and Sevilla match will hit the field soon at 4:15pm, while the Espanyol and Osasuna match will start at 6:30pm.

Serie A is still going strong: Italian giants Milan and Inter are still exchanging control of the top spot in the league as we near the final moments, as Inter beat Empoli in an epic match two days ago to reach the #1 spot by a point over their arch-rival Milan, who is looking to return to the top again when they face Verona today at 8:45pm. Note: Each team has only 2 rounds left after today's match.

???? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

We’re all wrapped up in these wraps: Wrampage is a hidden gem in Heliopolis’ Nabil El Wakkad that serves wraps filled with a variety of yummy ingredients. Start off with an appetizer of bacon cheese fries, onion rings, or cheddar bites or get a variety of the fried starters in the Wrampage box (and don’t forget to get some of their sauces to dip in). We recommend the big wrap which comes with fried chicken, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and a blueberry sauce that takes the wrap to another level. For someone who wants to eat healthy, go for their grilled chicken wrap while someone who needs a boost of energy can go for their power wrap — which is not so healthy, featuring chocolate, peanut butter, banana, and granola.

How has venture capital changed in the past 50 years? In his new book No Red Lights, Alan Patricof looks back at his 50 years working in the VC industry and how the field has changed over the decades. Patricof bought stock in Apple when its market valuation was only USD 60 mn, helped found New York Magazine, and invested in AOL, Audible, and more recently, Axios. All of his investments share certain qualities, which the author goes into more detail about in a book that aims to help you understand what a good investment looks like, the process of investing, and when to exit — all with Patricof’s own experiences at the core.
