So go watch Lex Allen's newest video for "Cream and Sugar," featuring his NAN family, Webster X with production by Q the Sun.

/Produced by the homie Mike Regal, Cinco brings us his first and only single off his upcoming EP "Dancing With My Demons" thats ready to be dropped January 24.

However with verses from Mosaic and CDS, the artists on the track breaks new barriers in hip-hop combining a moody and dark hook with traditional rap verses and some techno inspiration.

Grandparent's Closet: Code Zero
/Introducing CopyWrite’s fashion series, Grandparent’s Closet.
We all have those one-of-a-kind or very unique items that we love to wear. The big question is “where did you get it from?” and with no shame; our fashion editor Vato will say his Grandparents Closet. “If your grandparents we’re as cool as mines when they were younger, then I’m sure you’re familiar with what’s in their closet.”
In this segment, Vato takes one-of-a-kind “vintage” clothing from his relatives closet and gives it a modern twist.
Today we want to share with you a vintage code zero classic old school genuine leather suede jacket giving to Vato by his Great Uncle. The Black in the jacket is leather and suede and forest green in the jacket is all suede with the words "Code Zero". This jacket has gotten a lot of attention.

On the Street Fashion - Oby Nwabuzor ( @obyoso )
/I’d just arrived to the coffee shop and Oby comes in seconds behind. And as she walked in I promise you her theme song should have been, I’m The Plug while you hear “draped in all designer, draped in all designer” in our Future voice playing in the background.
Black frames, black leather tote bag, black leather gloves, black long fit trench with a black fur collar, blue jean denim with ½ inch cuffs, and black boots! “Oby OhSoFly has just entered the building,” I said with open arms.
Oby style is very hard to be placed in a box. She likes to reference style as a genre, a mixer between business and urban. Because of her family traditions and proper upbringing she was held to a higher standard of presentation. Oby is very clean and neat in her everyday attire but you can see her very cultural background as she represents her Nigerian roots through her style.
Professionalism is key when it comes to picking out her outfits. With a traditional Monday through Friday work life, why not add some style in the business world? And did we mention when she’s not killing the professional world with her style, she’s working with local brands like Mission10Eleven and the House of Renji.
Inspiration for Oby comes from artist like Teyanna Taylor and Janelle Monae, but she continues to create her own lane in fashion. As a true shoe-a-holic we might say, Oby owns a wide variety of shoes such as Jordans, Timberlands, Nikes, and loafers; combined with a more feminine collection of heels from classy to retro, to switch up the game when needed. One of her favorite pieces is this vintage bomber jacket shown below.
Favorite places to shop: H&M, Boston Store, K&G Fashions, for jeans - Levi only
