What is style to you?
"Style is subjective to me; it is slanted towards the individual, and what he or she prefers to wear. So, I always make sure that my personality and my intention is reflected in my look, not my taste in copying famous people and their bank account.
I want to show people that they can get great pieces from anywhere and make it their own. I want to show that style is about your creative ability."
How would you define your style?
"I would have to go with dapper! Neatly and stylishly dressed. Well fitted, tailored clothing, accented with splashes of color with lapel flowers, pocket squares, socks and other men accessories."
When did you first notice you had style?
"I really started to notice it by the time I entered into high school. I grew up in a small town that did not have much to offer as far as good shopping so my parents always brought me up here to buy clothes for school. Those experiences is what peaked my interest and I started reading GQ and expanding from there growing into my own style."

In a world where there are music videos after music videos after (really good) music videos. How can an artist separate there sound and visuals apart from the crowd? Well Cool Tay's "The Beginning of Forever (Short film)" did just that.
The "short film" caught CopyWrite's attention revealing a short film (music video if we're being honest) that showcased Tay's single "The Beginning of Forever" from his up-and-coming project, "The Experience" set to drop later this year. The captivating story produced by JSwaqq Productions, showed a lost Cool Tay on the search for his twisted love (played by featured singer, Jeronica Brister.)
Watch the film below and shout out to Mammyth and Mike Regal with the production (We hear you guys.)
Looking for love? Well we might have a track just for you.
As the first single off of their upcoming album titled HUE-MEN, Savage Sevyn, a Milwaukee based women duo, brings us "Lookin' for Love." A soulful track with a lot of energy, a Curtis Mayfield reference and deep influences of psychedelic soundscapes, hip-hop-inflected beats and what we love to call TRap & B (Peep the Erykah Badu reference), the track has shown us some love.
Listen to the lady duo below and let us know what you think.
