After working with names like Beyonce, Big Sean and Drake, it seems Key Wane is only getting started.

The Detroit-born hip hop and music producer known for his piano play is quickly gaining credibility in the music game. Not only is Key Wane producing hip hop tracks, he's venturing into pop and R&B. Key Wane is taking over your radio, and you might not even know it. His soulful approach to music production sets him apart from the sometimes flooded pool of music producers, and even with all of the success he's had at the age of 23, he's not planning on leaving behind his bread and butter -- the keys.

Is the comeback of Detroit actually happening, or is it a pipe dream? Ben Austen of the New York Times is trying to answer just that.

An in-depth article titled "The Post-Post-Apocalyptic Detroit" touches on the growing real estate empire of Bedrock's Dan Gilbert, and also on small businesses around Detroit, like Slow's owner Phil Cooley.

And his belief has a perverse sort of economic logic undergirding it...The belief in Detroit’s imminent revival has spread far beyond Dan Gilbert and the skyscrapers of downtown. Out in the neighborhoods, there is a legion of mini-Gilberts, longtime Detroiters and recent transplants alike, who have united around a conviction that the city has fallen as far as it can go — that the time to buy in is at hand.
