Let’s be honest, a high school senior’s accomplishments are few. Being able to make it through the SAT’s, spring break, prom night and all those senior skip days with your head still on straight, is considered one of the biggest feats for most. Most “kids” are satisfied with the basic life, plagiarized test here and there, barely making it out of the bah-hum-bug concrete jail cells that the school system has dubbed “classrooms”. You’re lucky if you come out with some type of talent and for most this “talent” is being able to locate the caps lock key on a standard keyboard.
That being said, I would like to introduce to the world a young man by the name of Bishme Cromartie. How does he fit into all of this? Bishme will be graduating from high school in June. Why do you care? Before you stop reading and flip to the next page, let this sink into your medulla oblongata: Bishme is a designer who started sewing at the age of nine and fully designing at the age when most people were learning the different componentes of a cell, fourteen. He started his fashion line YingEdge at the age of fifteen and he admits that it is more of a “movement and learning process”. How did he come up with the name? Simple. There is an edge in all of us.

Before Nicki Minaj, there was Lil’ Kim. Before Lady Gaga, there was Madonna. Before Lindsay Lohan was taunting the justice system with ‘Fuck You’ nails and Ke$ha was shocking our ears with morning after stories of bottles of jack, and feeling like P.Diddy; there was Uffie. Not giving a fuck, desensitized,and partying until the sun comes up, let’s face it, Uffie is the mascot of our generation. With the recent turn of events concerning Lohan, the hipster and party scene has been in a sort of stand still. What better time to have a chat with the girl who started it all? From Pharrell, to baby Henrietta, to her latest album “Sex, Dreams and Denim Jeans”, this past week Uffie and I had a chance to reminisce about the recent turn of events that have occurred and are occurring in her life.
Uffie’s debut album: Sex, Dreams and Denim Jeans, has been highly anticipated and for well reason. Although the Hong-Kong raised and Paris based rapper for the most part stuck to her hip hop roots, other genres such as pop, electro and house are meshed through out the album. While “Pop the Glock” is a laid back, let’s get blown type single, “MC’s Can Kiss” is a finger snapping tune, with catchy cocky lyrics such as “Yeah I got something MCs can kiss/ It’s a nice bum cheek and it goes like this”. When asked about the audience that she wanted the album to attract Uffie stated, “ The album crosses a lot of genres, so I think there’s a bit of something for everyone on there”. Still not satisfied, we probed deeper. If Sex, Dream and Denim Jeans was being played at a club, what type of crowd would it attract? To which she replied, “Many, many different people.” (more…)

When you think of Western rap icons like Run DMC, Tupac Shakur, Kid N’Play, never in the same train of thought do you think of European pop stars such as Sting or U2. And Why not. 2Pacalypse Now was corrupting the kids around the same time that Sting’s pop rock “All This Time” was circulating European cafe shops. And let us not forget U2’s ”Achtung Baby” which was receiving acclamation and blasting reviews while Kid N’ Play threw out their platinum FunHouse album followed by Face the Nation, but still, never in the same sentence are these cultural icons intertwined. I guess at that time in musical history our musical palate was a little to similar too our literal palate; salt to salt, sugar to sugar. We adored our skinny European white guys who sung of Bloody Sundays and we loved our black men with high top fades who were doing the kick step, but sweet and sour, or the idea of sprinkling just a little bit of sugar in our grits was unheard.
These days however, the tide has changed. Eminem hashing things up with Elton John for “Stan”, Jay-Z fans and metal head Linkin Park groupies agreeing when it came to “Numb”, Nelly and Tim McGraw giving you “Over and Over”. You see, musical artist aren’t so exclusive to their genres anymore. Mr.Hudson is no different to this new wave of musical perception. Having his Straight No Chaser album out in the USA this past week, you can imagine how stressful and hectic his schedule has been. However, between the late night recording sessions, impromptu performances, and the weight that comes with being an overly attractive lad with the most GQ and Tom Ford of accents, Mr. Hudson took some time to catch up with Greedmont. He told me tales of love gone wrong, but also threw in funnier stories, which consisted of Wimbleton tennis outfits worn at the most awkward social situations, and skinny men who sing in high pitch voices.

Interview with Gordon Voidwell.

I remember I had a white friend who would always crack some jokes that weren’t too fried chicken, cornbread and collared-green friendly. When I confronted her about this, she simply answered, “ That’s impossible, my best friend is black.” Referring to me. Ah the joys of white friends. How quick are they to play color blind, but when I look back, she really was. What some referred to as nappy, she dubbed tightly coiled curls. Growing up, when the jokes about my darker hue ensued, she would calm me, “You look like a tahitian goddess, and besides with that chocolate skin you could be a top model”. Between her frequent trips to Abercrombie&Fitch and my monthly appointments with the creamy crack, me and my white friend were going to rule the fucking earth.
When I first got a listen of Gordon Voidwell’s “White Friends”, after channeling my inner John Travolta via Saturday Night Fever, I was on the hunt to figure out who the hell this god of an artist was. He gave me pop fever, with a tinge of disco, and a splash of hip-hop, and I wanted more. I managed not only to get the scoop on this up and coming artist, but I also managed to get an interview too.
With most bumbling artist, when it comes to collaborations with clothing companies it’s usually pretty small. With Gordon Voidwell, for the release of his, “Ivy League Circus”, he collaborated with fashion powerhouse Ralph Lauren. When the trained vocalist isn’t performing at the hippest venues in New York, you can find him doing the next best thing: writing about fashion. They’ve told me that he is a fusion of Tom Tom Club, Madonna, Prince and David Bowie, and I’m telling you to make room because Gordon Voidwell is here to stay. (more…)

I’m dying in a fit of laughter as Kid Sister goes into detail about her first ever nail installation, “[I was}13 about to be 14 when I first got nails they were blood red and VERY whorey. So racy. I look back at pictures. I was overweight. Looked like a brunette Miss Piggy.” She goes on to assure me that she took a break during college, “Because it’s hard to type with them.” Of course, I start off the interview with nails, especially since it’s Kid Sisters iconic
trademark and the theme behind her chart topping, Kanye West featured single “Pro Nails” that brought her career to sudden and unprecedented fame. Many people know Kid Sister for her electronic, smack talking, and sassy singles and at times, they associate the themes behind Kid Sister’s musical releases to her character. She has been dubbed: care-free, strong, sassy, and uncensored, and it’s not a bad thing. In a world full of females who are content in being Barbara Walters, Honey Bee Home Makers, Martha Stewarts, and Barbies, Kid Sister is Mae West meets Jane Fonda.
At first I was taken back by her bluntness. It came in a disparate variety of truth that you don’t come across often these days. How does love inspire your music? It’s more like lust. How Does Pain inspire you? It doesn’t my life is awesome, I don’t go through too much stuff. Do you ever get compared to Lil Mama? Not really ever. What would be your dream collaboration? Someone no one would think I’m a fan of like Hurricane Chris or something…
