Museum of Graffiti – Origins Exhibition

Museum of Graffiti Art Week Presented by Rust-O Will Begin December 3rd with a Complete Exhibition Overhaul that Includes a Solo Exhibition by Trailblazing Artist JonOne and the Return of its Interactive Patio Serving up Top Brand Activations

The Museum of Graffiti, ranked as one of best museums in the United States by U.S. News & World Report, is celebrating its 6th anniversary during Miami Art Week with a brand new semi-permanent exhibition entitled Origins which traces the birth and evolution of the graffiti movement from its earliest days on the streets and subways of New York City to its current position as a globally recognized legitimate art form.

Guests walking into the Origins exhibit will enter through a vintage hardware store that acts as a time capsule, transporting visitors back to a time when graffiti was exclusively a DIY venture that relied upon heavy duty industrial products for mark making. The immersive start to the exhibit will double as a fully functioning paint store exclusively stocked with Rust-O, Rust-Oleum’s new spray paint line made specifically for artists, a highly anticipated and significant departure from the olden days.

After the immersive moment comes a major highlight of Origins, the presentation of original paintings, by United Graffiti Artists (UGA) members PHASE2, FLINT 707, SNAKE 1, and COCO144, that have not been seen since their debut in 1973, marking one of the first moments graffiti entered the gallery setting. “Tracking down rare artifacts like this was always part of our mission so that the true history of graffiti can be shared in the most authentic way,” said Allison Freidin, co-founder of the Museum of Graffiti.

The modern day representation of how far the art form has come is depicted through a major exhibition by internationally acclaimed artist JonOne (John Andrew Perello), who began his career as a graffiti writer painting trains in Harlem before rising to global recognition as a contemporary painter. JonOne’s solo exhibit El Tiguere, a Dominican street slang term evoking a hustler’s grit and resilience, will exist alongside Origins, paying tribute to JonOne’s uncompromising survival instinct gained as a child. It will become evident that the artist leaned on dripping paint with vibrant colors to carry himself from the most humble beginnings to establishing a celebrated studio practice in Paris.

For the first time in Miami, the Museum will also feature a working studio inside the building, where JonOne will create in real time the vibrant pieces packed with movement seen around the world today. On opening day, visitors will witness a special live performance by the artist as he transforms the space with his signature energy and style.

“I have been following Jon’s artistic journey since the 1980s in New York City and marvel at what he has accomplished with his signature tag. Once vilified, we now celebrate his artistic genius,” said Alan Ket, co-founder and curator of the Museum of Graffiti.

Preliminary Schedule:

December 3 – 5, 2025 from 12PM – 6PM: Museum of Graffiti opens all exhibitions along with its outdoor interactive patio that will boast an incredible line up of top parties, brand activations, and musical talent. The patio will connect Museum of Graffiti, The Art of Hip Hop, and The Private Gallery with a ticket to the full experience at $25. Certain activities will take place all 3 days:

Truist Bank’s ART ATM that will dispense free limited edition giclees by New York’s legendary TATS CRU
Daily Rust-O Dem-O’s: Watch top aerosol talent from Miami and around the world battle head-to-head
Modelo’s Open Bar & 1PM Drop of the Day (see schedule below)

ARTIST BIO: JONONE

John Andrew Perello, aka JONONE, is an American painter and graffiti artist born in Harlem, New York, in 1963. Immersed in the graffiti culture of uptown Manhattan, he began painting at 17 under several tags before adopting the name JonOne156, a nod to his street. In 1984, he co-founded the collective 156 All Starz, which helped shape the evolution of New York graffiti. Three years later, an invitation from French artist Bando brought him to Paris, where he remains based.

His five years spent at the Hôpital Éphémère, followed by residencies in some of the city’s most dynamic art communes, allowed JonOne to expand his techniques and media. Drawing from action painting and abstract expressionism, JonOne physically immerses himself in his process, walking across canvases and layering splashes of paint that evoke both chaos and rhythm.

In breaking down barriers between street art, galleries, and institutions, JonOne has exhibited widely in Europe, the United States, and Asia, with representation in major galleries including Willem Speerstra, Magda Danysz, David Pluskwa, and Martine Ehmer. His collaborations with brands such as Air France, Guerlain, Lacoste, Daum, and Faïencerie de Gien further reflect his commitment to merging fine art, design, and everyday life. In 2015, he was awarded the Legion of Honour from the French Republic, and his work Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité was inaugurated at the Palais Borbon, the seat of the French National Assembly.

TIACORINE + FLO MILLI RELEASE ‘LOTION’ VIDEO

North Carolina rap phenom TiaCorine follows up her bold new album, CORINIAN, with a reality-bending music video for the single “Lotion” featuring Alabama star Flo Milli and production by Kenny Beats. Upbeat and chock full of lyrical flexes, the track embodies the irrepressible and unpredictable energy of the LP. Watch HERE.

“Lotion” puts Tia’s brash, style-shifting confidence on full display. The song is a blistering ’80s freestyle throwback complete with keyboard percussion, rubbery bass, and stuttering drums, but our heroine struts over the sweat-inducing beat with athletic ease: “Now this is how it goes for ones who don’t know / So I came from the Tre with thugs and fake hoes / Glitz, glamor, fashion, gold is all ya girl know / But I came from the bottom and chose the high road.”

Directed by Dell Nie (Ty Dolla $ign, Bia, Saweetie), the “Lotion” video is bright, cinematic, and surreal. Extending CORINIAN’s otherworldly theme, it opens on a pink moon before we’re transported to Tia’s very kawaii-coded bedroom. She starts her day normally enough: primping, applying lotion, stretching — before she’s interrupted by a knock at the door. A confrontation with three unwelcome women ends when Tia twists her fingers, reducing them to Barbie-like dolls. After a cameo from Unghetto, Flo Milli shows up and accompanies Tia to a house party, where the pair spit bars and spread joy while finding time to torment the toys on the side.

Since dropping in October, CORINIAN, which also features Saweetie, Wiz Khalifa, Smino, J.I.D, and Pouya, has racked up much acclaim. Pitchfork added the set to their Albums You Should Listen to Now list and, in a separate review, noted, “The North Carolina rapper keeps things unpredictable on a playful, hard-hitting album, [a] daring project that never slows down.” Following a glossy multi-page feature in HYPETRAK Magazine, HYPEBEAST wrote, “TiaCorine takes on her fully realized final form… The final chapter of her world-building trilogy proves her most polished, honed-in project to date.” And Rolling Out added, “Bold and inventive from start to finish, [CORINIAN] reinforces her place as one of the most creative voices in new music.”

The “Lotion” clip is only the latest in a series of wild, psychedelic visuals to emerge from CORINIAN. Most recently, Tia shared the chaotic chase flick for the booming “Backyard” featuring J.I.D. Before that came the romantic round-the-way visual for “Fall in Love” and “Ironic,” a trippy track that got a fittingly far-out video courtesy of Lyrical Lemonade. Meanwhile, the drill-meets-ballroom club cut “ATE” came with a distinct video version that includes vogue performances and musical contributions from Jus10 and Byrell The Great. She also shared the prismatic “Different Color Stones,” and a vivid, anime-inspired album trailer.

As Tia has explained, CORINIAN is the third release in a trilogy that includes her 2022 debut album I Can’t Wait and 2024’s Almost There EP: “If you pay attention to the artwork of the projects, you can see a pink aura in the background,” she noted upon the LP’s release, referring to a futuristic city that gets closer with each release. “That place is everything Tia wanted to be. Now I’m here. There’s no fear. No doubt. No second-guessing. I’ve reached my final form.”

The album release followed a series of anticipation-building moments from Tia, who appeared on Chance the Rapper’s celebrated STAR LINE album via the song “Gun in Yo Purse” featuring Young Thug; headlined Charlotte, NC’s Durag Festival before hitting The Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash in Chicago the very next day; and, in October, played the Atlanime Fest in Atlanta’s Center Parc Stadium, where she also debuted her new Impossible Girl manga.

This year, Tia’s breakout hit “FreakyT” also attained RIAA-certified Gold status. Upon arrival in 2022, the fiery flex-fest inspired a viral dance trend and soared up the Urban Mainstream and Billboard Hip Hop/R&B charts. Her momentum grew across 2023, when she made the XXL Freshman Class and scored “Artist to Watch” nods from Rolling Stone, COMPLEX, Pigeons & Planes, Zane Lowe, and more. Cosigns from the likes of Drake and Gangsta Boo followed, as did festival appearances including Dreamville, Rolling Loud, and Coachella, searing collabs like “HOT ONE” with Denzel Curry and ASAP Ferg, and — last year — Tia’s first headlining tour.

Must‑Know Tips Before You Rent a Luxury Vehicle for Events

Have you ever wondered how a fancy car can make your special day feel even better?

Renting a luxury vehicle can add style to any event, from work gatherings to weddings. The right car does more than look good – it helps set the mood and makes the whole moment feel bigger.

But before you rent one, it’s smart to know what you need, how the process works, and what costs to expect. When you understand these simple tips, you can enjoy your luxury ride with no stress at all. Ready to explore?

Determine Your Rental Needs

Before you look at any options, make sure you know what you need. Think about how many people will ride with you, where the event will be, and what features you want. Luxury cars come in many sizes and styles.

You may want a fast sports car for a date or a big SUV for a group trip. Also, think about extras, like needing a driver. Knowing these details will help you choose faster.

Research Reputable Rental Agencies

Once you’ve clarified your needs, the next step is finding a reliable rental agency. Not all agencies provide the same level of service or quality of vehicles. Look for well-reviewed companies that specialize in luxury rentals.

Check customer reviews on platforms like Google and Yelp, and don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations from friends or family. By doing this, you can find trustworthy agencies that prioritize customer satisfaction and vehicle maintenance.

If you want to view high-end Lamborghini rental packages, it’s particularly essential to ensure you’re working with a reputable provider.

Plan Ahead for Availability

Luxury cars are often booked quickly, especially during busy seasons or big events. To get the car you want, try to book 2-4 weeks early. Planning ahead gives you more choices and can sometimes help you save money.

You’ll also have time to compare different models and services. Make sure to check the cancellation rules too, in case your plans change.

Understand the Costs Involved

When you set your budget, remember that the base rental price is not the only cost. You may need to pay for insurance, fuel, extra mileage, or a security deposit.

Read the rental contract carefully so you know what to expect. Ask about fuel rules, such as whether you need to return the car with a full tank. Understanding all the fees helps you stay within your budget.

Enjoy the Experience

Once everything is set, enjoy your luxury car experience. Whether you’re going to a party, a wedding, or a special night out, the right car can make the moment feel even better.

Take your time to enjoy the ride, from the smooth leather seats to the high-tech features. Each detail can help create memories that make your event even more special.

Make Your Luxury Rental Stress-Free

Renting a luxury car doesn’t have to be stressful. By knowing your needs, finding a good agency, booking early, and understanding costs, you can make the process simple.

The right car can add excitement and style to any event. Step into the world of luxury with confidence-your perfect ride is waiting!

See & Be Kitchen, the beloved Catskills bakery known for its long-fermented sourdough, handcrafted pastries, and joyful, people-first culture, announces the launch of the First Rise Challenge, an uplifting eight-week regional competition to select the brand’s founding franchisee. Kicking off January 1, 2026, the challenge marks a major milestone as the company prepares to expand its community-centered bakery model across the Northeast. More than a competition, the First Rise Challenge is an invitation, an ‘apprenticeship to ownership’ journey that celebrates heart, craft, and the magic of feeding a community. Guided by the tagline, “Be our first. Bake the future,” the campaign calls on aspiring cottage bakery owners, operators, and investors to rise to a series of creative, community-driven, and operational challenges that mirror the real experience of running a See & Be Kitchen bakery.

“We’re not just searching for a business owner. We’re searching for a partner who believes in people, craft, and community as fiercely as we do,” said See & Be Kitchen founder Chrissy Traore. “This first franchise will help shape the heart of our brand’s future. We want someone who rises with purpose, leading with skill and soul.” The First Rise Challenge is rooted in See & Be Kitchen’s foundational belief that a truly great bakery is built on integrity, joy, curiosity, teamwork, generosity, and a deep love of nourishing people. Over the course of eight themed weeks, challengers will share their stories, stretch their creativity, deepen their craft instincts, and show whether they have the heart and leadership potential to open the very first See & Be Kitchen franchise.

During Week 1, “Call to Rise,” candidates submit a 90-second video sharing their “why,” their ideal territory, and their passion for bringing See & Be Kitchen to their community. Weeks 2–3, “Gathering Ingredients,” focus on culture and character fit through self-shot video content and interactive Zoom sessions that highlight each candidate’s values, leadership style, humor, kindness, resilience, and alignment with the company’s artisan ethos. In Week 4, “Rise Under Pressure,” contestants complete system-following tasks that test precision, problem-solving, and the ability to trust a process, an essential ingredient in any great bakery and any scalable franchise model. Week 5, “Firing Up the Ovens,” blends baking theory, hands-on skill, and teaching ability to demonstrate whether challengers understand the craft deeply enough to lead with consistency and care. During Week 6, “Setting the Table,” participants host a local community activation event, giving neighbors a taste of the See & Be Kitchen experience and showcasing each contender’s ability to create warmth, welcome guests, and build local excitement. Week 7, “Making That Bread,” assesses financial readiness through workshops and quizzes centered on KPIs, budgeting, cash flow and franchise sustainability. To support the winner, See and Be Kitchen is setting up partners with access to financial capital to help fund. Finally, Week 8, “The Final Bake-Off,” invites the top three to five challengers to present their polished 90-day launch plan to an expert panel that includes Richard Snow, IFA Board Member and CEO of Amplify Franchise Funding; Karen Bornath, Executive Director of the Bread Bakers Guild of America; Mariyam Shamshidova, Chief Growth Officer of WeFranch; and Chrissy and Ben Traore, Co-Founders of See & Be Kitchen.

The See & Be Kitchen franchise program is built for entrepreneurs seeking a systems-supported, operations-driven model with creative soul. Rooted in long-fermentation baking and meticulous craft, the franchise provides a fully developed operational playbook, standardized recipes, a premium artisan product line designed for scalability, and a people-first leadership philosophy that shapes hiring, training, and team care. Franchisees benefit from a strong wholesale backbone with flexible retail and catering revenue streams, community-focused brand identity, and hands-on franchisor support, including: marketing, communications, tech stack, CRM, operations and ongoing training. The founding franchisee will receive exclusive incentives valued at up to $100,000, including a 50% reduction in the franchise fee, one year of waived royalties, and an initial packaging order at no cost.

Eighteen territories across the Northeast are prioritized for this first expansion wave, with high-interest regions including the Capital Region & Albany; Oneonta & Delhi; New Paltz & Newburgh; and the Berkshire Mountains. Applications for the First Rise Challenge are now open, and interested candidates can learn more or begin their journey at franchise.seeandbekitchen.com.

21 SAVAGE DELIVERS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS?

GRAMMY®-winner and multi-platinum global superstar 21 Savage continues to solidify his case as one of the preeminent Hip Hop stars of his generation with the release of his fourth solo studio album, What Happened to the Streets?, the 14-track opus featuring guest contributions from Drake, Lil Baby, Young Nudy and more. The new set, announced on Monday via a world-stopping album trailer, includes production from Metro Boomin, with whom 21 Savage formed the GRAMMY®-winning ‘Savage Mode’ tandem, as well as Southside, Spiff Sinatra, COUPE, the legendary Zaytoven and more.

21 Savage took yet another unique approach to marketing his new album, allowing 2025 Art Basel to serve as a backdrop to his latest artistic venture: a creative partnership SLAWN, the world-renowned British-Nigerian visual artist. Together with Savage, SLAWN designed four one-of-a-kind album covers to accentuate the release of What Happened to the Streets? And toured them throughout Miami during Basel, making scene-stealing stops at PRIZM and SCOPE. The four covers are also set to serve as collectors items; each cover was printed as a vinyl, and 2,100 of each edition is available for fans to purchase here.

21 Savage, coming off consecutive chart-topping debuts atop the Billboard 200, delivers his fourth solo album. What Happened to the Streets? is available now. Stream it here.

[GET: 21 Savage, What Happened to the Streets?]

[WATCH: What Happened to the Streets Album Trailer Here]

21 Savage, an Atlanta-bred superstar, has been notably selective with his public appearances, preferring to let the music speak to the ebbs and flows of his compelling career narrative. Last year’s American Dream, partially a response to Savage’s shocking treatment by ICE in an unexpected 2019 run-in, reestablished the rapper as one of Hip Hop’s most reliable hitmakers with tracks like “Red Rum,” the video for which emphasized the through-line spanning his domestic origins and UK upbringing in a never-before-seen reckoning with cultural identity.

What Happened to the Streets?, a similarly timely release, arrives at a pivotal time on Atlanta’s and Hip Hop culture’s political timeline. 21 Savage, who has served as a musical authority on the scene for the past decade-plus, finds himself in a position to offer a truly unique and unequivocal perspective on the culture that propelled him to RIAA® Diamond records, global recognition and superstardom. Fittingly, he is joined by Drake, with whom Savage released the platinum-selling Her Loss album in 2022, as well as a slew of star peers, like Lil Baby, Young Glorilla and Young Nudy, the latter of whom has been a close confidante and collaborator of Savage’s since his earnest early days as an unsigned artist.

21 Savage’s new music and message is as urgent as its suggests, and his ascent to superstardom has conferred him the opportunity to engage with the scene he has helped build from a truly authoritative standpoint. At midnight today, the next era of 21 Savage officially began.

STAR WARS: SHADOW OF MAUL

One of the most feared villains of the galaxy far, far away returns next year in Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, a new animated series set after the events of the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In March, Marvel Comics will pave the way for the Disney+ series with STAR WARS: SHADOW OF MAUL, a five-issue prequel series written by Marvel superstar Benjamin Percy, who wrote the Sith Lord in last year’s Star Wars: Darth Maul – Black, White & Red series, and drawn by Madibek Musabekov, known for his acclaimed work on the recent Star Wars: Jedi Knights series.

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord will reveal Maul’s plan to rebuild his criminal syndicate on Janix, a planet untouched by the Empire. STAR WARS: SHADOW OF MAUL introduces this new setting and cast, including Captain Brander Lawson and his partner, a droid nicknamed Two Boots, as they investigate shadowy dealings on Janix.

Welcome to Janix, a neon-lit, shadow-soaked maze of a planet that lies beyond the reach of the Empire. Captain Brander Lawson is doing his best to navigate the law in a lawless territory. He’s joined by his partner, a droid nicknamed Two Boots, as they face off against scheming crime bosses…and as the looming threat of the shadow lord, Maul, nears!

“I’ve said it before: I’m a giant Star Wars nerd,” Percy shared. “My previous experience writing in a galaxy far, far away—Darth Maul – Black, White, and Red, Boba Fett – Black, White, and Red—was an absolute delight. But those were one-shots. Flirtations with the franchise. With Shadow of Maul, I’m able to share a more expansive story about one of my favorite characters, while also exploring a fresh angle on the Star Wars universe.

“This is a sci-fi story, but it’s also a crime story,” he continued. “It’s a story about cops, criminal syndicates, a neon-lit, shadow-alleyed city that hides many sins and secrets. I’m teamed up with an artist who’s already a Star Wars veteran and legend: Madibek Musabeckov. His art is gritty and grounded and perfectly matches the noir tone. We’ve been in close contact with Lucasfilm—reading scripts and watching episodes of this fantastic new animated series—and our story will serve as a prelude to what viewers will see play out on the screen.”

Check out covers by Derrick Chew, AKA, and Björn Barends along with a sneak peek at interior artwork and preorder STAR WARS: SHADOW OF MAUL #1 at your local comic shop today! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Post Malone’s Murder Circus Encore Unleashes Midwinter Terror

Live Now in Extraction Shooter Heavyweight Hunt: Showdown 1896

Having recently celebrated welcoming its 10 millionth player, Crytek launches Post Malone’s Murder Circus Encore today, a massive in-game Event to its acclaimed extraction shooter, Hunt: Showdown 1896. The Event, in collaboration with 9x Diamond Certified artist and avid Hunt superfan Post Malone, plunges the bayou back into a reign of carnivalesque terror. The Event arrives alongside the comprehensive Update 2.6, delivering a wealth of new content, long-requested features, and extensive game improvements. Post Malone’s Murder Circus Encore is live now on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S. The Event will run until February 9, 2026.

See the gameplay trailer now:

The stage is set for a new chaotic struggle. The former Ringmaster, portrayed by Post Malone, has been reborn as the brutal Disciple of Death, seeking to reclaim his Corrupted domain. With the key to his victory—the fabled HelioStone artifact—still lost, Hunters are drawn into a fresh conflict where old foes and new alliances collide.

Introducing Story Challenges and Player Profile Customization
An exciting new gameplay system, Story Challenges, provides narrative-driven gameplay. These thematic chapters allow players to explore the game’s rich lore and Hunter backstories while earning rewards. The feature is launching with two stories: the time-limited On the Winds of Midwinter, about Krampus, and the permanent free story An Acquired Taste, which follows a Hunter named Tennessee Morgan. This feature adds a new dimension to progression with an ever-expanding library of Story Challenges.

Players can now showcase their accomplishments with the new Player Profile Customization. This system allows Hunters to display a unique identity through avatars, titles, cosmetic frames, achievement badges, and stat trackers, visible in lobbies as well as the Last Mission and death screens. The majority of content for Player Profile Customization is unlocked via gameplay progression whilst some other pieces of content are unlocked through Blood Bonds. A new feature is the Stat Trackers; while most are free to use, a few weapon-specific stats will require Blood Bonds to be displayed. Don’t worry though, you can still view all stats without any cost, so you won’t miss out on any stats! Check out our blog for more detailed info on how Player Profile Customization works here.

New Gameplay Dynamics
Update 2.6 introduces the Status Effect “Wet,” adding a new layer of strategic depth. Hunters traversing deep water become soaked, making them harder to ignite and improving their health recovery at the cost of louder footsteps. The new Water Bottle throwable item allows players to strategically apply this effect, extinguish fires, and even neutralize the fiery Immolator enemies. But don’t try dousing an oil fire with water unless you are looking to get burned.

A Fiercer Foe and Event Traits
The terrifying two-headed Ursa Mortis monster has returned, but this is not a simple reanimation. It is an evolution. With reinforced vitality, increased damage, and devastating new tricks, it now stalks its prey with terrifying cunning. It can plow through barriers, is immune to explosive stagger, and its chilling roar can prematurely trigger traps.

With the Circus’s return, players can pledge allegiance to multiple Troupes simultaneously to unlock unique Event Traits using Pledge Marks. These include:

The Knifethrower Troupe – Blademancer: Automatically retrieves ammo in front of you while in Dark Sight.
The Mystic Troupe – Communion: Sacrifice your own health to heal a teammate and cure their Status Effects.
The Trickshooter Troupe – Crack Shot: Reduces weapon sway and increases iron-sight zoom for rifles and pistols with stocks.
The Strongman Troupe – Bruiser: Lowers melee stamina cost and significantly reduces flinching from damage.
The Ringmaster Troupe – Corpse Seer: Grants Dark Sight Boost when looting dead Hunters.

Enhanced Teamplay and Usability
A major overhaul of the user interface and communication tools aims to improve coordination and clarity. The Map screen now features a transparent background and a reorganized Trait display. The ping system and compass have been redesigned, allowing players to place multiple context-sensitive Ping Markers on in-world objects like Ammo Boxes and Traps, all visible on a new, intuitive compass for superior tactical planning.

A More Accessible and Balanced Bayou
Significant balancing changes and onboarding improvements:

Burn Traits such as Relentless, Remedy, and Rampage can no longer be stacked to prevent overpowered combinations.
