YUNG MIAMI RELEASES NEW TRACK ‘TEA TIME’

Listen

Fresh off setting timelines ablaze with the surprise release of “News Flash,” Yung Miami officially drops “Tea Time,” the fearless anthem that first went viral after she previewed a snippet across her social platforms. Within hours, the teaser racked up millions of views, sparked thousands of user-generated videos, and had fans flooding the comments demanding the full track.

Earlier this week, Yung Miami ignited conversation with “News Flash,” a razor-sharp statement record signaling the start of a powerful new solo chapter. Now, with “Tea Time,” she doubles down. Fearless, witty, and instantly addictive, the track is packed with slick one-liners and quotable bars tailor-made for timelines, group chats, and repeat plays.
The snippet quickly became a viral sound across TikTok and Instagram, embraced by influencers, creators, and fans alike. As anticipation surged and clips continued circulating online, “Tea Time” cemented itself as one of the most talked-about unreleased records on the Internet before hitting streaming platforms.

Now officially available on all major DSPs, “Tea Time” captures Yung Miami in her element: playful yet pointed, polished yet raw. The single marks another defining moment in her evolution — stepping further into her solo spotlight while maintaining the charisma and cultural edge that has made her a standout force in hip-hop.

Vybz Kartel + Shenseea Reunite on God + Time

VYBZ KARTEL & SHENSEEA REUNITE 10 YEARS LATER MUSICALLY ON EXPLOSIVE NEW SINGLE “PANIC”

KARTEL’S FIRST OFFICIAL RELEASE FROM UPCOMING ALBUM GOD & TIME

LISTEN | WATCH

Dancehall legend Vybz Kartel reunites with global superstar Shenseea on their brand-new single “Panic,” available everywhere now. Produced by TJ Records and Vybz Kartel Muzik, the track serves as the first official single from Kartel’s highly anticipated upcoming studio album, God & Time, slated for release later this year.

“Panic” arrives exactly 10 years after their first and only collaboration, Shenseea’s breakout 2016 anthem “Loodi.” That record introduced Shenseea to the world under Kartel’s co-sign and helped launch her into international stardom. Now, a decade later, the student and the teacher reunite as two fully realized Jamaican icons at the top of their global influence.

The result is a provocative, easy-breezy summer anthem — a poppy, bounce-heavy, dancehall rhythm built for clubs, TikTok timelines, and late-night speakers worldwide. The chemistry is effortless, the energy magnetic, and the moment symbolic for the culture.

“We made a statement with ‘Loodi’ a decade ago, one that helped put Shenseea on the map. ‘Panic’ is another one for the history books. This is for the fans who’ve been there from day one and for the new generation running with the sound now. It’s God & Time — everything aligning when it’s supposed to,” states Kartel.

The accompanying video, shot in Miami and directed by Shane Creative (@4fortyFouratelier) delivers pure dancehall vibes: towering speaker boxes, bold Caribbean color, batty riders, nonstop waistlines, and steamy island heat. It is vibrant, unapologetic, and rooted in authentic dancehall tradition while capturing the global polish both artists now command. Watch: Vybz Kartel ft. Shenseea “Panic”

More details surrounding God & Time will be revealed in the coming months. 2026 is another landmark year for the king of dancehall. The release signals another powerful chapter in Kartel’s historic return.

Since being freed on July 31, 2024 after serving 13 years incarcerated for a conviction that was overturned, Vybz Kartel has reasserted his dominance as one of the most important figures in modern Caribbean music. A generational lyricist whose influence reshaped dancehall’s sonic and visual identity, Kartel spent over two decades shaping the culture even from behind bars, delivering era-defining hits, mentoring emerging stars, and influencing global artists from Drake to Cardi B while maintaining an unwavering grip on the genre he helped revolutionized.

His comeback became historic: in 2025 he delivered the highest-grossing dancehall tour of the year, selling out more than 25 arena and stadium shows across three continents and averaging over 20,000 fans per night, including a landmark 30,000-capacity show at Jamaica’s National Stadium and multi-night runs at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, London’s O2 Arena, and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena — marking his return to U.S. and European stages for the first time in over two decades. He earned his second consecutive GRAMMY® nomination for Best Reggae Album, secured a Top 5 Billboard Rhythmic Airplay hit alongside Travis Scott and Tyla, and expanded his cultural footprint with over 2 billion YouTube views, millions of monthly Spotify listeners, major features in The New York Times, GQ, Rolling Stone, and Billboard, and fashion collaborations with Nike x NOCTA and Guapi. While battling Graves’ disease during his incarceration, Kartel emerges more renewed — sharper in perspective, humbled by experience, and creatively revitalized.

His forthcoming album God &Time reflects that evolution, with “Panic” serving as the opening statement of a new era from an artist whose pen, presence, and global impact remain unmatched.

“Panic” is available now on all streaming platforms HERE.

Your Human Risk Playbook for Secure Generative AI Use

By Nicole Jiang, CEO, Fable Security

Enterprises are adopting generative AI in a big way. People are using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude to speed up coding, do research, polish marketing copy, summarize contracts, and brainstorm ideas. The productivity upside is real, but so are the risks: if you’re not careful, you can expose customer data, source code, intellectual property, non-public financials, protected health information, and more. Unlike traditional cyber threats, these exposures don’t come from an external attacker; they come about because everyday employees move too fast, and often don’t understand the consequences.

The only way to deal with this risk is to see it clearly. Gather signals from your workspace and security stack, normalize them, and find patterns. While your security team may be able to surface some issues from individual tools, they won’t have an easy way to correlate and identify people’s risky behavior, and more importantly, won’t be empowered to intervene, making employees aware and suggesting alternative ways to get their jobs done, while also protecting your sensitive data.

Take unsanctioned generative AI tools as an example. An employee might paste content into a public AI application to move faster on a project. If you can see that activity in context—employee, role, access, geo, tenure, and behavior history—and you can also see that the document being uploaded has already been flagged by DLP as sensitive, you now have something actionable.

Here are a few examples of what we see in Fable:

IAM (Okta, Azure AD) → who’s adopting and provisioning access to AI
EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne) → endpoint activity such as copy-paste
DLP (Microsoft Purview, Netskope) → sensitive data categorizations
SASE (Netskope, Zscaler) → sensitive data uploads to AI

To name a few.

Most teams responsible for managing human risk can’t find this information without tracking it down from separate tools that they may not have access to. What’s missing is a clear, unified view of employee risk—both inherent and behavior—and the ability to intervene quickly and intelligently. When you can see patterns across systems and act on them in real time, you reduce exposure without slowing the business down.

Once you’ve identified the most problematic data-sharing behaviors in your enterprise, you’ll want to take action in the moment using an automated, AI-generated intervention. That may be a quick-and-dirty nudge in Slack or Teams, or a personalized 60-ish-second video briefing referencing the person, their precise behavior, your company’s policy, whatever sanctioned applications you want to guide them to, specific calls-to-action, and whom to contact if they have questions.

With a modern human risk platform, you can suss out risky behavior and respond in a way that supports both security and productivity. Instead of simply blocking an action or sending a long, generic training that feels punitive, you can notify employees as quickly as you detect risk, explain why you’re reaching out, and point them to the right alternative action or remediation. The goal isn’t to police people’s behavior, but rather to help them make safe decisions while also protecting your systems and data.

DAMIAN LILLARD + OAKLEY UNVEIL SIGNATURE SERIES ENIGMA INK

Watch

Inspired by the parallel energies on the court and in the studio, Oakley® reignites a partnership with basketball superstar and Team Oakley athlete Damian Lillard, aka DAME D.O.L.L.A in the studio, to unveil the Damian Lillard Signature Series Enigma Ink. Enigma Ink is the newest eyewear model in the Damian Lillard Signature Series, reflecting Dame’s multidimensional identity as an elite athlete, recording artist, and cultural force.

Built through the moments that define a legacy, Enigma Ink draws from three meanings of ink itself: a writer’s craft, the art of tattooing, and the mark of a businessman. From handwriting lyrics to meticulously sketched tattoos, ink captures stories worth etching into history. The result of this inspiration is a refined, monochromatic frame that balances focus and creativity, mirroring Dame’s life between the court and the studio, with your choice of a tinted or optical lens.

Damian Lillard shares, “The design of this frame blends the energy from the game, with my passion for music and culture. The frame reflects the look, the mindset, and the legacy I’m building.”

DAMIAN LILLARD SIGNATURE ENIGMA INK (SUN)

The Damian Lillard Signature Enigma Ink sun frames feature a Trans Warm Brown frame paired with a Prizm™ Brown lens, delivering a distinct, elevated design defined by warm monochrome tones and refined metal accents. Powered by Oakley’s Prizm™ Lens Technology, the frame enhances color and contrast to reveal greater detail in everyday environments, while the DAME D.O.L.L.A. logo etching serves as a subtle stamp of Dame’s legacy.

DAMIAN LILLARD SIGNATURE ENIGMA INK (RX)

Designed for all-day wear, the Damian Lillard Signature Enigma Ink (RX) pairs a Warm Brown frame with Prizm™ Brown lenses in a clean, versatile silhouette inspired by Dame’s focus and control. Metal details and warm hues elevate the frame’s aesthetic, while Oakley Authentic Prescription technology delivers crystal-clear vision and lasting comfort. Also finished with the DAME D.O.L.L.A. logo stamp, the RX frame blends performance innovation with personal expression.

The Damian Lillard DL Signature Enigma Ink launches on Oakley.com and at select Oakley retail locations on February 18, 2026. For more information on the Damian Lillard Signature Series and Team Oakley, visit Oakley.com.

U2 ANNOUNCES 6-TRACK EP ‘U2 DAYS OF ASH’

‘U2 Days Of Ash possesses powerful and poignant pieces of poetic prose, helping us reflect on what’s to come as a result of the new age of global gloom.’ — Vaughn Lowery

Listen

Watch

During this Ash Wednesday, the day after carnival, Interscope Records announces the release of U2 Days Of Ash, a brand new standalone 6-track EP from U2.

In advance of a new album in late 2026, the U2 – Days Of Ash EP is a self-contained collection of five new songs and a poem – “American Obituary,” “The Tears Of Things,” “Song Of The Future,” “Wildpeace,” “One Life At A Time,” and “Yours Eternally” (ft. Ed Sheeran & Taras Topolia) – an immediate response to current events and inspired by the many extraordinary and courageous people fighting on the frontlines of freedom. Four of the five tracks are about individuals – a mother, a father, a teenage girl – whose lives were brutally cut short. A soldier who’d rather be singing but is ready to die for the freedom of his country.

“It’s been a thrill having the four of us back together in the studio over the last year… the songs on Days of Ash are very different in mood and theme to the ones we’re going to put on our album later in the year. These EP tracks couldn’t wait; these songs were impatient to be out in the world. They are songs of defiance and dismay, of lamentation. Songs of celebration will follow, we’re working on those now… because for all the awfulness we see normalized daily on our small screens, there’s nothing normal about these mad and maddening times and we need to stand up to them before we can go back to having faith in the future. And each other.

‘If you have a chance to hope it’s a duty…” is a line we borrowed from Lea Ypi. A laugh would be nice too. Thank you.’ — Bono

‘Who needs to hear a new record from us? It just depends on whether we’re making music we feel deserves to be heard. I believe these new songs stand up to our best work. We talk a lot about when to release new tracks. You don’t always know… the way the world is now feels like the right moment. Going way back to our earliest days, working with Amnesty or Greenpeace, we’ve never shied away from taking a position and sometimes that can get a bit messy, there’s always some sort of blowback, but it’s a big side of who we are and why we still exist.’ — Larry Mullen Jr.

‘I’m excited about these new songs, it feels like they’re arriving at the right time.’ — Adam Clayton

‘We believe in a world where borders are not erased by force. Where culture, language, and memory are not silenced by fear. Where the dignity of a people is not negotiable. This belief isn’t temporary. It isn’t political fashion. It’s the ground we stand on. And we stand there together.’ — The Edge

“American Obituary” speaks to the shocking event the world witnessed in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 7th, 2026 where Renée Nicole Macklin Good, an idealistic mother of three, was shot at almost point-blank range while exercising her right to peacefully protest, a right that is protected under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. This unarmed mother was then described as a “domestic terrorist” by a government who will not withdraw the description even though they know it’s not true. Or mount a proper enquiry into what happened for the sake of everyone involved.

“The Tears Of Things” borrows its title from a book by Franciscan friar Richard Rohr, which examines, through the writings of the Jewish prophets, how one can live compassionately in a time of violence and despair. The song imagines a conversation between Michelangelo’s David and his creator… where the young man with the sling and five smooth stones refuses the idea that he has to become Goliath to defeat him… he’s also revealed as having heart shaped pupils half a millennia before the heart shaped emoji, which puzzles visitors at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence, Italy, to this day.

The star of the lyric, Sarina, in “Song of the Future” honors the life of 16-year-old Sarina Esmailzadeh, one of thousands of Iranian schoolgirls who took to the streets as part of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in 2022. These protests were sparked by the death of Jina Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in Tehran on September 16th that year from injuries sustained following her arrest by the so-called “morality police” for not wearing a hijab in accordance with government standards. Seven days later, Sarina was beaten by the Iranian security forces and died from her injuries, the regime claiming she killed herself. The song aims to capture Sarina’s free spirit, the promise and hope of her short life.

The Days of Ash EP includes a reading of “Wildpeace” – a poem by Israeli author and poet Yehuda Amichai – by Nigerian artist Adeola of Les Amazones d’Afrique, with music by U2 and Jacknife Lee.

“One Life At A Time” is written for Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian father of three. A nonviolent activist and English teacher, Awdah was killed in his village in the West Bank by Israeli settler Yinon Levi on July 28th, 2025. Awdah was a consultant on the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land,” made by Palestinians and Israelis. At his funeral, one of the directors, Basel Adra, spoke of the slaughter of his friend and the experience of Palestinians being erased “one life at a time.” U2 took that line and turned it around to suggest that a peaceful resolution will be wrought “one life at a time.”

“Yours Eternally” sees Bono and The Edge joined on vocals by Ukrainian musician-turned-soldier Taras Topolia, as well as Ed Sheeran. In the spring of 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Bono and The Edge traveled to Kyiv to busk in a metro station at the invitation of President Zelensky. A couple of days prior to that, Ed connected Taras Topolia, and by extension his band Antytila, with Bono. Bono, Taras and The Edge met for the first time on that subway platform. They’ve been friends ever since. Taras is the inspiration for “Yours Eternally,” a song written in the form of a letter from a soldier on active duty with a bold, mischievous spirit to match Ukraine’s.

“Yours Eternally” will also be proudly accompanied by a short 4½ minute documentary film directed by Ukrainian cinematographer and filmmaker Ilya Mikhaylus, that will be released on Tuesday, February 24th – the 4th anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Shot in December 2025 while Mikhaylus and his crew were embedded alongside the 40,000-strong Khartiya Corps, the film captures the extraordinary daily lives of Alina and her fellow soldiers fighting on the frontlines of the war.

U2 Days of Ash EP is accompanied by the return of Propaganda as a one-off digital zine, with a limited-edition print run. Forty years ago, in February 1986, the first issue of Propaganda dropped through the letterboxes of U2 fans around the world. Aspiring to match other fan magazines at that time, Propaganda was born out of the punk-era D.I.Y. zine culture that embraced attitude, ideas and dialogue. In the spirit of those early issues, this standalone EP will be accompanied by a one-off limited edition print run plus digital e-zine drop of Propaganda titled “U2 – Days Of Ash: Six Postcards From The Present… Wish We Weren’t Here.” This 52-page special publication accompanies the release of the Days Of Ash EP and includes exclusive interviews with “Yours Eternally” film director Ilya Mikhaylus and film producer Pyotr Verzilov, as well as musician and soldier Taras Topolia. It also includes song lyrics; notes from the four band members; plus a Q&A interview with Bono. Read Propaganda HERE.

Bezel Settings Redefining Jewellery Design for the Fashion Generation

A New Era of Jewellery Design

Fashion has always been about reinvention. From silhouettes on the runway to the accessories that complete a look, trends evolve to reflect the values and aesthetics of each generation. Jewellery is no exception. Today, bezel settings are stepping into the spotlight, reshaping how engagement rings and fine jewellery are perceived by style‑savvy audiences.

Why Bezel Settings Speak to Modern Style

The bezel setting, once considered a practical choice, has become a hallmark of contemporary design. By encasing the gemstone in a sleek metal rim, it offers a clean, minimalist profile that resonates with fashion’s current love for structure and simplicity. For couples searching for rings that balance elegance with everyday wearability, Cullen Jewellery’s bezel wedding rings provide a compelling option that feels both timeless and fresh.

Fashion Meets Function

One of the reasons bezel settings are gaining traction is their ability to merge aesthetics with practicality. Unlike prong settings, which expose the stone, bezels protect the gem from chips and scratches. This makes them ideal for individuals with active lifestyles who still want their jewellery to reflect sophistication. In fashion terms, it is the equivalent of choosing a tailored jacket that looks sharp while offering comfort and durability.

The Appeal of Minimalist Luxury

Minimalism has become a defining theme across fashion and design. Clean lines, neutral palettes, and understated details dominate collections from leading designers. Bezel settings echo this philosophy, offering rings that are striking without being ostentatious. They allow the gemstone to shine while maintaining a refined silhouette that pairs seamlessly with modern wardrobes.

Sustainability and Conscious Choices

Fashion’s new generation is increasingly focused on sustainability. Ethical sourcing, eco‑friendly materials, and conscious consumption are shaping buying decisions. Bezel settings align with this mindset by offering durability that extends the life of the jewellery. When paired with responsibly sourced stones and recycled metals, they become a symbol of both love and values.

Jewellery as a Statement of Identity

For many, an engagement ring is more than a piece of jewellery. It is a reflection of personal style and identity. Bezel settings allow wearers to express individuality, whether through bold geometric designs or subtle, classic forms. In the fashion landscape, this mirrors the shift toward customisation and self‑expression, where accessories are chosen not just for beauty but for meaning.

Bezel Versus Traditional Styles

Traditional prong or halo settings have long dominated the engagement ring market. While they remain popular, the rise of bezel designs signals a shift in taste. Fashion insiders often describe bezel rings as modernist, architectural, and forward‑thinking. They appeal to those who see jewellery as part of their overall aesthetic, not just a symbol of tradition.

The Fashion Generation’s Perspective

Younger buyers, influenced by fashion media and digital culture, are drawn to designs that feel current yet enduring. Bezel settings fit this narrative perfectly. They are versatile enough to complement streetwear, couture, or everyday looks, making them a natural choice for a generation that values adaptability in style.

Jewellery’s Next Chapter

Bezel settings are redefining how engagement rings are seen, blending fashion with function in a way that feels distinctly modern. Their sleek design, protective qualities, and sustainable appeal make them more than just a setting, they are a statement of identity for a generation that values individuality and style. As jewellery continues to evolve alongside fashion, bezel rings are poised to remain at the forefront, shaping the trends and stories that define tomorrow’s design landscape.

Artist Statement

‘After years of therapy, I’ve decided to turn my traumatic adolescence into sustainable artistic expression, unapologetically picking up my power tools and paint brush. Instead of constantly dumping, I’ve made a conscious effort to lower my carbon footprint by upcycling unwanted objects.

As a notable media representative, I have had the opportunity to review some of the most prestigious properties and destinations. While in the presence of both architectural and environmental design entities, I have been able to fabricate my mixed media using a transdisciplinary approach.

Creating a hotel lobby space, an immersive pop-up, and/or an art car is something I aspire to do in the future.

Overall, my commissions revolve around my newfound curiosity about neorealism, constructivism, and contemporary conservatism.

A portion of proceeds are gifted to philanthropic agencies encouraging mental health stability amongst marginalized youth.’

How to Choose Designer Eyewear That Suits Your Style

Have you ever tried on glasses and felt that something just did not look right? Many people want frames that feel special, yet they are not sure how to choose designer eyewear that suits their style. Glasses are not only tools to help you see.

They are also part of your daily look. The right pair can make you feel proud and at ease. In this guide, you will learn how to pick frames that match your face, fit your needs, and boost your confidence every single day.

Read on!

Understand Your Personal Style First

Before you look at brands or prices, think about your personal style. Your clothes, shoes, and even your hairstyle say a lot about you. Your glasses should match that same feeling.

Take a moment to think about where you wear your glasses most. If you work in a formal office, you may want a neat and polished design. If you spend more time in casual places, you can try relaxed and playful shapes.

Match Frames To Your Face Shape

Your face shape plays a big role in how glasses look on you. Some people have round faces, while others have square or oval faces. Frames that contrast with your face shape often look best.

If your face is round, try frames with sharper lines. Square or rectangular frames can add structure. If your face is square, round or oval frames can soften strong angles.

Oval faces can wear many shapes because they are balanced. Heart-shaped faces often look nice with frames that are wider at the bottom. When you try on glasses, look in the mirror from different angles.

Notice how the frames sit on your cheeks and near your eyebrows. The right pair should highlight your features without covering them.

Focus On Comfort And Fit

Style matters, but comfort is just as important. You may wear your glasses for many hours each day. If they pinch your nose or press behind your ears, you will not enjoy wearing them.

Check that the frames rest gently on your nose without sliding down. The arms should sit smoothly over your ears without causing pain. Your eyes should be centered in the lenses, not too high or too low.

Designer frames often use better materials, which can make them lighter and more durable. This can improve comfort over time. Wear the frames in the store for a few minutes to see how they feel.

Pay Attention To Quality And Materials

When you invest in designer eyewear, you are also paying for quality. Good materials can last longer and look better over time. Frames may be made of metal, plastic, or a mix of both.

Metal frames are often thin and light. They can give a clean and modern look. Plastic frames can offer bold colors and thicker shapes.

Some high-quality frames use special blends that are strong yet flexible. This helps prevent breakage. Look closely at the hinges and small details.

Strong hinges help the glasses open and close smoothly. Smooth edges and solid joints are signs of good craftsmanship. Quality eyewear can handle daily use while keeping its shape and shine.

Choose Colors That Enhance Your Look

Color can change how your glasses look on your face. Some colors blend in, while others stand out. Think about your skin tone, hair color, and the clothes you wear most often.

If you have warm skin tones, shades like brown, gold, or warm red may look nice. If you have cool skin tones, black, silver, or blue can work well. Neutral colors like black or tortoiseshell are safe and easy to match with many outfits.

If you enjoy making a statement, you can try brighter colors. Just make sure the color still feels like you. Your glasses should enhance your look, not distract from it. When the color feels right, you will feel more confident wearing them.

Think About Your Daily Needs

Do you use digital screens for many hours? Do you play sports or spend time outdoors? Your daily habits matter when you choose eyewear.

If you work on a computer, ask about lenses that reduce glare or blue light. If you are active, you may need frames that stay secure on your face. Sunglasses with UV protection are also important if you spend time in the sun.

Some people need glasses for reading, while others wear them all day. Make sure the frame works with your prescription. A stylish frame is not helpful if it does not support clear vision.

Explore Designer Brands With Care

Designer brands can offer unique styles and trusted quality. They often pay close attention to details and trends. Still, you should not choose a pair just because of the name.

When you explore options, try on different designs. Compare how each one looks and feels. You may find that a simple design suits you more than a bold one.

In promotional materials, you might see phrases like Guess designer eyeglasses that promise a strong and fashionable look. Use these ads as inspiration, but always trust how the frames feel on you.

Take your time to compare shapes, colors, and materials. A well-known brand can add confidence, but the best choice is the one that feels right for you.

Build Confidence With The Right Choice

The right eyewear can change how you feel about yourself. When your glasses match your style and fit well, you may stand taller and smile more. Confidence grows when you know you look good and feel comfortable.

Remember that trends come and go. Choose frames that reflect who you are, not just what is popular. If you love your glasses, you will enjoy wearing them every day.

Do not be afraid to ask for advice from friends or store staff. Sometimes another point of view can help you see what works best. In the end, your opinion matters most because you are the one wearing the glasses.

Step Forward With Confidence And Style With Designer Eyewear

Now you know how to choose designer eyewear that suits your style in a simple and smart way. You learned to think about your personal style, face shape, comfort, quality, and daily needs. Each step helps you find frames that enhance your look and support clear vision.

The right pair can offer comfort, quality, and confidence every day. When you choose carefully, your glasses become more than a tool. They become part of who you are.

High Risk FW26 at LAFW

On February 12th in Beverly Hills, High Risk didn’t just host a fashion event — they made a statement. Shutting down part of the iconic Rodeo Drive, the emerging street-luxury label unveiled its latest collection in a spectacle that fused high fashion with raw cultural energy.

From the moment guests stepped onto the block, it was clear this wasn’t a traditional runway show. The atmosphere felt more like an exclusive concert-meets-fashion takeover. The crowd was stacked with tastemakers and artists shaping modern culture, including G Herbo, Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, and more. The turnout alone signaled that High Risk isn’t just participating in culture — it’s embedded in it.

The newest drop leaned heavily into exaggerated silhouettes and statement textures. Oversized, boxy hoodie sweatsuit sets commanded attention with their sharp structure and relaxed drape. The proportions felt intentional — architectural yet wearable — blurring the line between elevated luxury and underground streetwear.

The leather garments added weight and edge to the collection. Models walked in chiseled cut leather pants and cropped jackets, while one of the boldest looks of the night featured a full-length leather trench finished with a dramatic oversized fur collar. The trench carried a cinematic presence — equal parts modern outlaw and high-fashion renegade.

For 360 Magazine, one of the defining pieces of the night was the brand’s classic hoodie, reimagined with an impeccable cropped fit. Designed with a shortened

hem and a subtle V-shaped cutout at the chest, the silhouette felt both timeless and refreshed. The V-neck detail paid homage to vintage boxer aesthetics while maintaining a clean, modern structure. The cropped finish sharpened the proportions, giving the piece an elevated edge without losing its everyday wearability. It wasn’t about reinvention for shock value — it was about perfecting a staple and executing it flawlessly.

The runway casting elevated the show from fashion presentation to cultural moment. Gio Ramos walked with commanding presence, embodying the brand’s fearless identity, while the Combs twins brought a polished, next-generation energy to the runway — merging legacy with rebellion in a way that perfectly reflected High Risk’s street-luxury balance.

By taking over Rodeo Drive, High Risk symbolically claimed space in one of fashion’s most traditional luxury corridors — and did so entirely on its own terms.

The visual brings a playful, self-aware edge to one of the project’s most talked-about records, pairing sharp storytelling with vibrant performance scenes.

On the track, Adekunle Gold and Davido lean into candid reflections on marriage, fame, and temptation.

Sonically, the record blends Fuji-inspired percussion with contemporary Afropop bounce, allowing both artists to trade charismatic verses over an infectious groove.

Released in 2025, FUJI is Adekunle Gold’s sixth studio album and one of his most dynamic works to date. The album blends Fuji, Afropop, and R&B influences while exploring growth, confidence, love, and evolution. Since its release, the project has generated strong conversation across global music media and continues to highlight Adekunle Gold’s versatility as both a songwriter and performer.
