AUTOMatic "Talkin Bout Love"

Here is a cut from the "smooth Hip-Hop duo" AUTOMatic (APRIME and Trellmatic). This is a different sound coming out of Milwaukee, a little more reminiscent of the Roots, 90's poetics, soulful, and thoughtful. The first single from their 4th full album Marathon, slated to release 11/11/16.

Sources say:

"Talkin Bout Love," a song that identifies the need for more LOVE in this world and takes the time itself to express love for people of all walks of life. It's aimed to be a pick-me-up style of track and that's exactly what it is. It feels good, the message is good, and the love abounds.

SuperDopeCloset Blast

Quinton Shotwell has taken flight, so about 2 years ago, Quinton launched his business, SuperDopeCloset. I personally had a wonderful time at his 'Sip&Shop' pop-up shop and I really got to see him in his element. At this event, Q showed love and remained humble on so many levels. I was just happy to be invited to one of his successful endeavors. It's amazing how he followed his dream and brought it to reality. SuperDopeCloset's CEO now lives in ATL and styles for a multitude of different music artists like some of the cast of 'Love and HipHop ATL', Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Black Youngsta, Migos, Sammie, Milwaukee Own's Jacob Latimore, Zaytoven, Young Dolph and the list goes on.

He plans to open up shop here in Milwaukee and talk about ways he want to give back.

Be on the look out for SuperDopeCloset.

Vicious Van Flow "It's A Vicious World"

We have been letting this one simmer...have you heard it yet?

Jumping on the scene with a project worth giving a few spins is Vicious Van Flow. His release "It's A Vicious World" is the cultivation of realistic thought, perspective and natural ability; a difference. 

He delivers relatable content with the enticing topics of love, sex, money, and hustle, but applies it realistically, without the "stunting". (Frankly we are sick of fictitious Bad-Bad's and Ferrari's). His features are complimenting to each song choice and the production is clean.

It was pleasant surprise coming from a local new comer. (There are some MKE music Vets that still can’t produce a solid 4 songs on 1 project. Vicious Good start lol). 

His track "Trials" definitely shows his vulnerability and openness as an artist (plus male) and has become a CopyWrite favorite. 

Give Vicious a chance; you might just like his bite.

The official debut project of Vicious Van Flow ( Formerly known as Vicious X)It's a Vicious World is a snapshot into the mind of sane man in an insane world and his quest to reach the pinicale of success while maneuvering the pitfalls this world has in store for him.

MKE Street Style with Ashleigh

MKE street style with Ashleigh // FB: Ash Ashleigh Early

Ashleigh is a good friend of mine. We go way back to our high school days. We always had common interest but as we got older; style became a priority. When I linked back up with Ashleigh she definitely has something to say in the way she dressed. Ashleigh and I met for our interview at a park in the Eastside area. As she arrive; she comes walking gracefully through the bushes with this long light denim color trench flowing like a sweet sweet aroma. 

Leaves were everywhere and the sheek look she had complimented very well. Under the trench she wore a wool grey cardigan and a long sheek floral dress with a beautiful maroon fedora. The colors was setting for the season. 

Ashleigh's is all about thrifting at the inexpensive and expensive thrift stores, we both caught each other one time shopping in the same thrift store. When shopping she loves searching for heavy and thick materials. Overall materials is important; the feel of it, the texture, the color, basically making sure it's the right one. 

There's a few people that inspire Ashleigh but most importantly women who can walk in there own identity and help her find what it looks like to dress with confidence. Solange is a great example of Ashleigh inspiration in her style. 

She enjoys gaining inspiration from other cultures to liven up her style once in a while. Being herself, loving herself, and being comfortable in her own skin creates a personal style all her own.

MKE Street Style with Shakayla Curtis

Shakayla Curtis (FB: Kayla Danielle)

What is your style?

My style... Hmmm I would have to say My style is very modern chic. Very stylish but extremely graceful. I'm always about updating classics when I choose my garments and pieces.

Who or what influences your wardrobe or style?

My influence for my style comes from the way I am feeling at that moment when I am getting dressed. If I am sad I tend to go for pieces that will uplift me... Make me feel good about myself you know. If I am happy and joyful it presents itself through my choice of clothing. I was also truly inspired by the fashion presented in "Sex in the city"! Those women gave me soooooo much life. Whomever the stylist was for that film did an amazing job!

How does your closet look?

My closet looks like a thrift store lol. I am a recent graduate from Tennessee State University and all the while in college I was unable to afford to shop anywhere but thrift stores. Being also a recent mother of twin girls my finances hasn't permitted for me to go purchase a completely new wardrobe! But the good thing about fashion IT ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF! So my pieces work out just fine.

Favorite Places to shop?

I enjoy thrifting, any second hand store. I am really into H&m, Windsor and Akira.

What is your favorite clothing item, why?

My favorite clothing item that I currently have would be my smock shirt I designed and created myself. My intention is never to become a designer and creating that shirt in one of my required courses in college was a huge accomplishment for me. I will never forget me thinking "I'm going to fail this class" because I am not good at drawing or sewing, but because of my shirt that I created, I passed my course with an A. Very humbling experience that I will never forget.
