Nigerian rapper and singer, Divine Ikubor (Rema), recently released a song entitled “Beamer (Bad Boys). This song channels a lighter, more R&B-infused vibe similar to that of Mr. Eazi, Maleek Berry and a few other Afrobeats artists. Featured on this track is international singer, Becky G. I literally can’t stop listening to it!

Future’s new album, “High Off Life” is what gen z would describe as “a whole mood.” Despite the Quarantine we’re all experiencing as a result of COVID-19, this album has plenty of songs that feature the artists we love hearing on the radio during summer; Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Baby and Drake to name a few.

Alternative artist Moses Sumney released “grae,” an album consisting of a series of short songs that lean more into his alternative sound than R&B. More importantly, he managed to get Jill Scott to feature on a song and sampled her song, “Cross My Mind.” This is the music I listen to when I’m just wanting to relax with my beverage of choice, likely on a Saturday evening.

Polo G is a rapper that I recently discovered and whose music I absolutely love. In his recent album, “The Goat,” the artist manages to merge both meaningful, heartfelt songs with the lighthearted summer bops we all want to blast in the car after leaving a day party. Whenever I want a boost, this album is my go-to.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
