Reebok, the iconic and irreverent sports culture brand, and Hot Wheels™, the number-one selling toy in the world*, have announced a collaborative kids sneaker collection celebrating the brands’ shared heritage in play. Featuring four unique kids’ footwear styles that each pay homage to an iconic Hot Wheels die-cast car design, the Hot Wheels x Reebok collection is available globally beginning April 25, from Reebok.com and select retailers.

Conceived five decades ago, in 1968, by an innovator, a rocket scientist and a car designer, Hot Wheels high-performance die-cast cars and innovative track systems continue to offer energetic and engaging vehicle play that ignites the challenger spirit in every kid. In collaboration with Reebok, a historic and irreverent brand whose mission is to inspire human movement, some of Hot Wheels’ most legendary die-cast cars known for their speed and unparalleled vehicular designs are being reimagined in a whole new way.

The Hot Wheels x Reebok collection presents four (4) unique kids footwear styles in which the brand’s historic “Night Shifter™”, “Twin Mill™”, Bone Shaker™”, and “Rodger Dodger” die-cast car designs grace Reebok’s new light-up Classic Leather Step ‘N’ Flash and Zig ‘N’ Glow sneaker silhouettes. Overarching design elements (featured across all models) include Hot Wheels and “Reebok Racing” tongue logos above “68” (1968) and “95” (1895) driver numbers nodding to each brand’s founding year, a Hot Wheels all-over branded collar lining, Hot Wheels heel logo, and an LED light up midsole with on/off functionality.

Classic Leather Step ‘N’ Flash “Twin Mill” (Toddler – $55, 100206926) (Pre-School – $65, 100206924): The distinctive sneaker design features a stealth black upper with hits of gold and red and a “Twin Mill” inspired flame detail on the quarter panel.

RISING RAP STAR ZAUNTEE

Zauntee is a new age rapper from Tampa. His authenticity and transparency transcend. Like many young hip-hop griots, he talks about his battles with being bullied in high school. Despite the criticism, he persevered. He started his music journey in his bedroom after receiving a computer bundled with logic pro software from his parents.

As a determined teen, he started making records that relentlessly resembled his upbringing. In 2017, after recording a song that struck a chord with the internet, WORK HARD GOD FIRST, he instantly became a music phenomenon. After rejecting almost 6 to 7 major record labels, he decided to sign with Atlantic Records.

Despite his realization that his major label deal is a stepping stone, he’s only just starting. Following a trip to Los Angeles, he aims to promote his music. His main motivation is not to become famous, unlike many in his position. In fact, he speaks about the possibility of bringing his sold-out arena tour to life and the opportunity to one day provide a microphone to amplify other acts in the industry.

Zauntee is a Phoenix with a heart of gold who is ready to rise to the occasion. He is both extremely hopeful and destined to convey a positive message to all the underdogs who are experiencing strife. Considering that this young icon is socially conscious, intelligent, and not afraid to uplift a stream of young people who are being drowned by the old guard’s antics. This human deserves recognition for standing up against the tide of naysayers and nonbelievers, with a strong conviction (particularly in God) that all things are possible.

Gucci Pet Collection

The House introduces Gucci Pet Collection —a wide-ranging selection of items designed for dogs and cats that combines high-quality materials and craftsmanship with innovation, and many of the House’s signature motifs. The new line continues the narrative of surprise and delight behind Gucci Lifestyle, launched in September 2021 and inspired by a cabinet of curiosities—a place that could accommodate all of the fine, well-crafted that, while part of everyday life, still give off a magical and wonderful aura.

The offering includes collars and harnesses in plain leather, GG canvas, Web stripe, or the Herbarium or all-over geometric G print, and embellished with details like the Interlocking G logo or studs. Leashes in varying lengths and widths, bag holders, and Air Tag cases, are all available in the same materials and motifs to coordinate or mix and match. Within a selection of items that also serve as design pieces for the home are Made-to-Order miniature couches on which pets can lounge, feeding bowls with various House prints, cloches to cover bowls with, hard-sided cases with removable ceramic bowls and handles for easy transport as well as coordinated feeding mats. For pets who travel often, comfortable carriers in GG canvas are also part of the mix. Apparel includes polos, T-shirts, knitwear, and coats, distinguished by a vibrant palette and playful, signature motifs like all-over strawberries and hearts to Interlocking Gs and the classic monogram, also seen in the House’s ready-to-wear, creating opportunities for matching looks.

In line with the House’s commitment to sustainability, the Gucci Pet Collection includes items in recycled polyester, recycled cotton or Demetra — Gucci’s groundbreaking material that was unveiled in June 2021 after two years of in-House research and development. Demetra combines quality, softness, and durability with an eco-friendly ethos and is made from animal-free raw materials that are primarily from renewable and bio-based sources. Created from the House’s desire to explore and innovate materials for the future, Demetra is manufactured entirely in a Gucci factory in Italy using the same expertise and processes for tanning that give the material its pliable and resilient performance with a supple finish.

The new category is unveiled through a campaign with art direction and photography by Max Siedentopf. Infused with a retro-inspired, dream-like patina, a playful cast of dogs and cats of various types and sizes, wearing pieces from the new collection, are set against clean and colorful backgrounds that allow each animal’s personality to shine, inspired by the House’s underlying vision of individuality.

NLE CHOPPA – SLUT ME OUT 2

Memphis rap star NLE Choppa kicks off “Slut Szn” with the release of “Slut Me Out 2,” the extra raunchy sequel to his explosive 2022 RIAA 2x Platinum-certified single, “Slut Me Out.” He’s got a playful and pleasurable accompanying video starring India Love, too. Listen HERE and watch the video HERE via NLE Entertainment/Warner Records.

Picking up where his Sexyy Red-assisted “Slut Me Out (Remix)” left off, Choppa gets even more direct, diving headfirst into a pool of explicit and braggadocious sexuality. “If I was a bad bitch, I’d wanna fuck me, too,” he raps, flaunting confidence that would make Right Said Fred blush. With increasingly graphic quips and pulsing 808s designed for chants, “Slut Me Out 2” is the “Slut Me Out” successor fans have been waiting for. The visual only intensifies the vibes.

Playing out like a comedy film shot in a lush mansion, the Ben Marc directed video for “Slut Me Out 2” sees a hilarious and over-the-top Choppa get extra flirty as he interacts with a small multitude of baddies, including his leading lady India Love. Whether he’s in the pool or in the bedroom, Choppa makes his intentions clear. Energetic and unabashedly sexual, it’s a showcase for a young artist who can rap his ass off but makes sure to have fun while doing it. Watch it HERE.

“Slut Me Out 2” arrives on the heels of Choppa’s Certified compilation that includes all of his RIAA-certified hits. Checking in at 17 tracks, the LP spans the length of Choppa’s career, from the platinum-certified “Shotta Flow” to the two-times platinum-certified “Slut Me Out.” Raucously free-wheeling, “Shotta Flow” helped propel Choppa to stardom upon its release five years ago. As raunchy as it is rambunctious, 2023’s “Slut Me Out” became a staple of DJ sets across the U.S., and “Slut Me Out 2” only continues the tradition.

Recently, Choppa kicked off his college tour, and in June, he joins the road for A Boogie’s ‘Better Off Alone’ tour, which starts June 14th in Michigan and finishes at New York’s Madison Square Garden on June 24th. He’s known for his high-energy shows and unbelievable fan engagement experiences. Expect a run-through of all his hits and special surprise moments in each city.

KEVIN GATES – CEREMONY TOUR

“Kevin Gates‘ The Ceremony Tour, a soulful country music and rap celebration of his fourth studio album, with a Sexyy Red feature on Yonce Freestyle. He efficiently manages his masters in psychology through a combination of self-awareness and self-preservation.” —VLOW

It’s not uncommon to come across someone who radiates a moderate level of spirituality. In a world filled with darkness, a beam of light shines. After a daunting week of having to dive headfirst into a wall of irritating irresponsibility, battered but not broken, our heart reminded our soul: ‘The mission must continue.’ And once that first step landed on stage, the crowd erupted in joy.

Clearly, Kevin now resides at an Equinox, as his skin glows like glass. We smelled eucalyptus during his about-face. Not to mention, he showed up in what appeared to be a pair of black shorts and a loosely fitted designer t-shirt. Giving dope men chique with athleisure realness. Never have I ever felt so much more connected to this burly (and buff), unapologetic ball of ervescent energy.

The entire set list was immersive, sensationalizing a backyard BBQ in Baton Rouge. Followed by a spiked brisk ice tea and a wind of innocence. Many of us hadn’t encountered such a force of nature unfolding in purity. This was the initial phase of the awakening. It felt like it was the same tsunami that caused 2 Phones. Imagine That, which was a wave of truth rapidly transformed into our cognition, which we involuntarily exhaled into our newfound existence.

His gleaming grilled smile with smirk, swift segues, and his background dancer’s pelvis pumping made many of us nostalgic.

LAMBORGHINI ARENA

Recap

Automobili Lamborghini celebrates the first edition of its Lamborghini Arena event with an exclusive Revuelto[1] created by the company’s Ad Personam customization program, which recently inaugurated its new studio at the Lamborghini headquarters. The special version of the V12 hybrid plug-in super sports car was unveiled during the weekend of Lamborghini Arena, the biggest event in the history of the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand, held at Imola Circuit on April 6 and 7.

The exterior of this special car features contrasting hues with new carbon fiber elements that create a striking visual effect. The bodywork is painted in Grigio Hati (gray) with details in Verde Scandal (green) that accentuate the car’s lower line, roof, mirror caps and rear diffuser surrounds, all combined with the Verde Chiaro (light green) of the brake calipers. The rear part celebrates the Italian flag, with red, white and green stripes embellishing the lower surface of the moving wing. The hood is crisscrossed by two racing-style stripes in Nero Noctis (black), highlighting the performance attitude of the V12 super sports car.

The roof, rear “cofango”, spoiler, air intakes, sill inserts, and other details are made of high-gloss exposed carbon fiber, giving the elements a shiny effect enhanced by the 21-inch (front) and 22-inch (rear) high-gloss black Altanero alloy wheels.

The interior trim echoes the exterior colors, with Nero Ade (black) sport seats featuring stitching and piping in the Verde Scandal hue, the same color used for the Lamborghini logos embroidered on the headrests. The bulkhead panel lining is embellished with exclusive embroidery depicting the map of the Imola Circuit, the lettering “Lamborghini Arena 2024” in Bianco Leda (white), and escape route maps in Verde Scandal (green). Also exclusive are the carbon fiber plates with “Lamborghini Arena 2024” and “Ad Personam” logos located on the ends of the dashboard.

Unveiled in March 2023, Revuelto is the first V12 hybrid plug-in super sports HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle). It is equipped with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 mid-engine combined with three electric motors, one of which is integrated into the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Delivering maximum torque of 725 Nm at 6750 rpm and maximum power output of 1015 CV, it reaches a top speed of more than 350 km/with 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 2.5 seconds.

[1] Consumption and emission values of Revuelto; Fuel consumption combined: 10,3 l/100km (WLTP); Power consumption combined: 78,1 kWh/100 Km (WLTP); CO2-emissions combined: 276 g/km (WLTP).

ZAYN – ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS

Multi Platinum-selling recording artist, songwriter, producer, and philanthropist ZAYN has released a stunning live performance video to debut “Alienated,” the second single from his forthcoming album, ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS, due May 17, 2024 via Mercury Records.

Watch the live performance video of “Alienated” HERE and listen to the song HERE.

The performance marks the first time ZAYN has performed live since 2016 and showcases his soaring falsetto within the intimate song. About the song, ZAYN commented, “”Alienated” was the first song I wrote for the album, so it kind of set the tone for the whole project- it shaped the way I wanted to approach the sound of my own voice, the styling of the guitars and the overall sonic direction.”

For the past six years, ZAYN has been writing and crafting ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS at his home studio in rural PA. This album marks his most personal release to date, reflecting where he is in life, while exploring the complexities of healing, stillness, and growth. It also sees the genre-bending artist explore a new sound, leaning into his soulful vocals, live instrumentation, and poetic lyricism as a songwriter.

Reflecting upon ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS, ZAYN says “This is my favorite album that I’ve made to date, mainly because it comes from a place of sheer honesty and vulnerability. I wanted each song to feel as if it was just me sitting beside you telling you how I feel, singing directly to you. It’s raw and stripped back and the type of music I always hoped to make.”

He continues, “Working with Dave Cobb has been an amazing experience. The way he’s elevated the music is second to none, and he has done an incredible job helping me create this record. I hope we can take listeners on some whimsical, magical journey, and that they enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.”

“I think just being where I was at that time, staying away from things and living with my own thoughts inspired me to want to write something from that place. I’ve got to put this out as a whole body of work, it’s something for myself, not even just for the world,” says ZAYN.

ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS was co-produced by ZAYN with 9x GRAMMY Award winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, A Star Is Born, Brandi Carlile). Cobb came on board after hearing the songs ZAYN had crafted, marveled by how raw and honest it was. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cobb said “What got me about Zayn was his voice, you can hear love, loss, pain, triumph and humanity in it. Zayn has really created his own universe on this record, he really has no fear and is speaking straight from his soul.”

Ahead of the release, ZAYN sent fans into a frenzy with a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and an interview on Hot Ones. He also covered the Spring edition of L’Officiel Hommes.

To coincide with the single release today, ZAYN is launching two new special vinyl editions, a limited-edition color vinyl for Target and a limited-edition color vinyl for Urban Outfitters; as well as a cassette and two exclusive CDs – one for Walmart and another for independent retailers.

ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS is available for preorder HERE.
