Merry Christmas from your /CW fam!
/Our gift this season is always to #SupportingTheLocal !
(Now for some CopyWrite Comedy…)
(LAST) Fashion Friday of 2018!
/Looks like we made it! Its the end of the week and the end of 2018!!
I gotta give thanks to CopyWrite Magazine and the readers who have given me the opportunity to share my thoughts and ideas on fashion. The ride has been fun and I cannot wait to see what 2019 has in store!
This week, I bring you a mood I was feeling in Chicago. Yours truly took his drip to the Windy City!
Deep shades of green paired with black gave my step the swagger I needed to let my presence be known. My favorite part of this look was the gold chain you see hanging across my jacket. That is literally a wallet chain that i clipped to each side of my coat to give it a regal appearance.
As always, keep it saucy Milwaukee and be safe this holiday weekend! Make sure you give look no matter where you go and if haters can’t take it, you’re doing a great job!

Mayyh3m - Wake up (Video Submission by Greg Conley)
/Today’s submission is a dope video created by Greg Conley and the artist Mayyh3m called “Wake Up.” The message of the video speaks about the unfortunate climate we live in now of unjust police brutality, Black on Black crime and the daily struggle Black men face just trying to make it home at the end of the day. The chorus repeats the recognizable biblical prayer “If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take,” because that’s how these men feel, having no idea what could happen once they walk out their door everyday. But they still have to live their life.
The bridge of the song slows everything down a bit and discusses being mindful of who you keep around you and call your friend. You can’t trust everyone... I know we all can relate to that.
Overall, the visuals are great (with a lot of dynamic transitions) and the beat pairs well with them. We could see J.Cole or Wale flow nicely over it.
But don’t just take our word for it, check it out for yourself and tell us what you think! #WakeUp

Nile - [Adult Swim] Video Submission
/Vibes, vibes, vibes! Nile’s latest song, “Adult Swim”, has this melodic hook that captures the feels of the summer here in the Mill, but also has a tempo of chill and laid back basement vibes!
The video is a well crafted psychedelic display of artistry, that goes for a left turn towards the end when you watch it all the way the through. (yup, we’re forcing you to watch it. lol)
All in all, Nile really puts us on to another new vibe this week with “Adult Swim” off his latest project, “Tomorrow.” Make sure to watch this video and cop a listen to the full length project by Nile on all streaming platforms!
(can you count how many times we said vibe? lmao)

King Myles - Horizons (Debut Album)
/
We know y’all know who King Myles is, from reading our previous review of his song C.I.M.P., but he is back with even more bangers on his newly released album “Horizons.”
“Horizons begins with King Myles waking up from a dream on the album's Intro, "Sunrise," and checking the messages on his phone in "Missed Calls." The project then proceeds to follow King Myles' thoughts and emotions throughout the day, where he hits a turning point on the album's Interlude, "Horizons." From that point on, he hits an emotional roadblock in "Shipwrecked," but digs deep to find ways to cope with his lows as we journey through the next few songs and come to the end of the day with the closing song, "Sunset."”
King Myles has some dope in-house collaborations from Hiii Tribe Collective, and special features with Mitch Pe$oz, Shle Berry and Sparkus, just to name a few.
"Horizons" is available on HiiiTribe.com or on all streaming platforms. You can find the King Myles online EPK at https://www.hiiitribe.com/kingmyles.

Fashion Friday - "One Time for Sagittarius Season"
/“One Time for Sagittarius Season “
Happy Friday Milwaukee! With 2018 coming to a close, that also means its time for my BIRTHDAY! The year has been so good to me with joining CopyWrite, having the opportunity to style some of Milwaukee’s finest, and collaborating with creative giants. It has been a great ride!
This weekend I am celebrating my 26th and as your fashion ambassador, its only right that I step out in style! The vibe was black and gold to represent the royalty we are. This shirt has been laying in wait in my closet for such an occasion and you can’t go wrong pairing your statement pieces with all black! Hear me and hear me good! Your look can say a lot when you bring simplicity.
Follow me on Instagram @2dressd2bstressd to see what other tricks I pull out of my hat this weekend!
Keep it fly Milwaukee!

Nile_ (Deonte Neely) - Post-Modern Abyss ep & [Adult Swim] (video submission)
/
Today’s music submission comes from Nile with one of his latest ep’s “Post-Modern Abyss.” We think the entire ep is great to listen to, but our personal favorite is the second track, “Kismet.” The chords in the song are beautiful. Also, the production is smooth and soft, a little slower than the rest of them, but it works for what he’s talking about in the song.
“Post-Modern Abyss” is available on all streaming platforms. We suggest you listen to it and let us know what y’all think!
