Edward Robertson is a hip hop music artist, who was born in 1995. He is also known by the name EdThatsMyCup. Edward was born and raised in Daytona, and he grew up in Port Orange. He did not complete his schooling because he was bullied in school.

So he quit his school and started gravitating towards music. According to an article on The American Reporter, Edward began to get interested in music after his brother played Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” & “Dirt Off Your Shoulders.” These tracks got to him and inspired him to make music.

He dropped out of school when he was in the 10th grade. Ed got into a lot of fights because he tried to defend himself against the bullies. He also shared that when he was young, it was difficult to take criticism. But now he has learned to take criticism constructively.

Last year, in 2019, Edward’s music became insanely popular. He has fans in 77 countries, which is a huge success. Moreover, his singles ‘Heavyweight’, ‘Bitches,’ ‘ATM’ and ‘Ice Cream Man’ has accumulated more than 34k streams in Spotify.

But “Dancin’ Wit tha Devil” remains his masterpiece, because, after its release on February 22nd, the song was streamed 100k times in a month. Dancin wit tha Devil was his first single of 2020. This song was soon followed by ‘Hurt Kobain’ and shortly after his first EP ‘Give ME Space.’

Edward has become successful because he intently focuses on his dreams. Rather than taking stealing music, he creates his own. He stays away from negative influences. Ed always writes his own lyrics and believes that he himself can best project his thoughts, nobody else.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
