FREAKNIK

WATCH TRAILER HERE

Pop culture history is revisited with the  premiere of the highly anticipated documentary “Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told,” on streaming giant Hulu. Produced by Mass Appeal and Hulu in association with Swirl Films and Carlos Neal/ Freaknik Festival the film takes a celebratory look at the iconic Atlanta street party that came to define Atlanta as a cultural hotbed. It started as a Black College cookout but grew to draw thousands annually throughout the 80s and 90s. Freaknik soon became known for its lurid tales of highway hookups and legendary late-night parties that ultimately led to the festival’s downfall. At its height, Freaknik was a traffic-stopping, city-shuttering juggernaut that has since become a cult classic. Though it ceased over two decades ago, the infamous legacy still resonates through nostalgia and a new generation’s longing for a carefree platform that celebrates and promotes black excellence, joy, and fortitude. Tune into Hulu to watch. 

“Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told” premiered at the annual SXSW festival last week at a private screening which was followed by an All Atlanta showcase featuring Big Boi, Flo Milli, Ying Yang Twins, 21 Lil Harold, DJ Drama, KP The Great, DJ Jelly, and a surprise guest appearance by Bun B. The energetic showcase was hosted by documentary executive producers Jermaine Dupri and Luke “Uncle Luke” Campbell. 

Featuring appearances by 21 Savage who also serves as executive producer, Lil Jon, Killer Mike, Jalen Rose, Too $hort, Shanti Das, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Erick Sermon, CeeLo Green, Rico Wade, Kenny Burns and more, “Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told” offers an intimate glimpse into an enduring legacy, while acknowledging the complexities it introduced into the social fabric and leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of Atlanta and beyond. “Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told” premieres today on Hulu.

Shine Brighter, Save Smarter

Exploring the Benefits of Bifacial Solar Panels

In the quest for more efficient and sustainable energy solutions, the spotlight is increasingly turning towards bifacial solar panels. As the world leans more into renewable energy sources, solar panels have become a beacon of hope in addressing environmental challenges and energy security. Bifacial solar panels, a remarkable advancement in solar technology, promise to elevate the efficiency and feasibility of harnessing solar energy. This article delves into the multifaceted benefits of bifacial solar panels, highlighting how they shine brighter and enable smarter savings compared to traditional solar panel systems.

What Are Bifacial Solar Panels?

Bifacial solar panels are designed to capture sunlight from both sides, as opposed to the single-faced photovoltaic (PV) panels that have been the industry standard. This dual-sided design allows them to absorb sunlight not only directly from the sun but also reflected light from the surrounding environment. Made with transparent back layers, bifacial panels can utilize albedo (reflected sunlight) from the ground or other reflective surfaces, significantly increasing their energy production capacity.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency

The hallmark benefit of bifacial solar panels is their superior energy efficiency. By harvesting sunlight from both sides, these panels can produce up to 30% more electricity than their monofacial counterparts under optimal conditions. This increased efficiency is particularly beneficial in areas with high solar irradiance and significant ground reflection, such as snow-covered landscapes or regions with light-colored ground cover.

Durability and Longevity

Bifacial solar panels are not just about increased power output; they are also built to last. The materials used in bifacial panels are typically more durable than those in traditional solar panels, contributing to a longer lifespan and better resistance to environmental wear and tear. This durability translates to a more reliable energy source over time, with reduced maintenance costs and fewer replacements needed.

Cost-Effectiveness

While bifacial solar panels may have a higher initial cost compared to traditional panels, their enhanced efficiency and longer operational life make them a cost-effective solution in the long run. The ability to generate more electricity from the same amount of space can significantly reduce energy costs, making them an attractive option for both residential and commercial solar energy systems. As production scales up and technology advances, the cost of bifacial solar panels is expected to continue decreasing, further enhancing their economic appeal.

Versatility and Aesthetic Appeal

Bifacial solar panels offer greater versatility in installation and design. They can be mounted on various surfaces, including rooftops, ground-mounted systems, and even as part of building facades or sound barriers, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, their transparent nature and sleek design can integrate more seamlessly into different architectural styles, providing an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional solar panels.

Environmental Impact

The increased efficiency of bifacial solar panels also translates to a more significant environmental benefit. By maximizing electricity production from the same solar installation footprint, bifacial panels reduce the need for additional land, materials, and energy required for larger solar farms. This efficiency helps lower the carbon footprint of solar energy production, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainability.

Conclusion

Bifacial solar panels represent a significant step forward in solar technology, offering a blend of increased efficiency, durability, cost-effectiveness, versatility, and environmental benefits. As the world continues to search for sustainable and reliable energy solutions, these panels provide an innovative approach to maximizing the potential of solar energy. By investing in bifacial solar technology, individuals and businesses can shine brighter and save smarter, paving the way towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

FAQs

  1. What are bifacial solar panels?

Bifacial solar panels are advanced solar panels designed to capture sunlight from both their front and back sides. Unlike traditional solar panels that only collect sunlight from one surface, bifacial panels increase energy production by utilizing the sunlight that reflects off the ground or other surfaces onto their rear side.

  1. How do bifacial solar panels work?

Bifacial solar panels work by using cells that are capable of converting light to electricity from both sides. They are typically installed with a gap between the panel and the mounting surface to allow light to reach the back side. The panels can capture direct sunlight on the front and reflected sunlight on the back, leading to increased energy generation.

  1. What are the main benefits of using bifacial solar panels?

The primary benefits of bifacial solar panels include enhanced energy efficiency, increased durability, cost-effectiveness over time, aesthetic appeal, and versatility in installation. They can generate more electricity in the same space as traditional panels, have a longer lifespan, and offer a sleek, modern look that can blend well with various architectural styles.

Zeitz MOCAA Gala

Zeitz MOCAA was the center of the art world this past weekend as artists, collectors, philanthropists, and celebrities from around the world convened in Cape Town for the museum’s annual fundraising gala. The event was a spectacular celebration of art excellence kicking off Cape Town Art Week. The event mood and decor was designed by  acclaimed artist Athi-Patra Ruga. The Gala featured an exclusive auction, showcasing works from revered artists, all aimed at raising funds to support the museum’s curatorial and education programming. 

Speaking on the occasion, Koyo Kouoh, the museum’s Executive Director and Chief Curator, expressed gratitude to all attendees “I am honoured to have the continued support of the individuals and organisations who participated in this year’s Gala. It is vital in furthering our mission of promoting excellence in contemporary art.”  

The Gala was a visual explosion of light, color, and glamour, taking inspiration from the rich artistic vision of world-renowned South African artist Athi-Patra Ruga, who conceptualised this year’s gala scenography. The museum’s iconic silo interior was transformed into a spectacular canvas of art with his uniquely camp and polychromatic style, immersing guests in a world of creativity and innovation. The signature Heatherwick cushion-windows of the museum have been altered to resemble Ruga’s innovative works in stained glass that glamorise and deify figures typically marginalised on the basis of their Blackness, queerness, and/or femmeness. Broken up into irregular sections of opalescent colours, the windows cast rainbows into Zeitz MOCAA and onto guests, transporting them to a utopian fantasy space that is overflowing with ornate flower arrangements and populated with luminous African wildlife that gallops across the silos on the sixth-floor terrace where Ruga’s video piece Public Service Announcement (2014) was projected.

Professionals  from the realms of media, art, and entertainment graced the event, including media personality and businesswoman Bonang Matheba, contemporary multimedia visual artist Trevor Stuurman, musician Boity Thulo, and performer and curator Manthe Ribane amongst others. Renowned South African model and businesswoman Jo-Ann Strauss served as the host for the evening, while guests were treated to soulful performances by South African singer-songwriter Simphiwe Dana and Capetonian artist Nobuhle Ashanti.

Highlighting the evening were the presentations of the prestigious Honorary Award for Artistic Excellence and the Honorary Award for Philanthropic Achievement. This year, these honors were bestowed upon artist Wangechi Mutu and collector Louis Norval, respectively, whose contributions have significantly shaped the landscape of contemporary art in Africa.

A key feature of the Gala was an exclusive live virtual art auction facilitated by Strauss & Co, featuring works generously donated by internationally recognised artists, William Kentridge, Senzeni Marasela, Mary Evans, Zandile Tshabalala, Unathi Mkonto, Kemang Wa Lehulere, Abdoulaye Konaté, and Alfredo Jaar. All artworks were sold, and the auction exceeded expectations, raising a phenomenal R2’120’000. All proceeds from the Gala and Exclusive Auction benefit Zeitz MOCAA’s curatorial and education programs.

The Zeitz MOCAA Gala 2024 not only celebrated the richness and diversity of contemporary art but also served as a testament to the enduring spirit of creativity and philanthropy. The Zeitz MOCAA Gala 2024 is proudly supported by Gucci, BMW, Strauss & Co, Ruinart, Viviers Studio, Hatem Imam at Studio Safar, Tandym Print PTY (ltd) with print facilitation by Philip Kannemeyer, Condé Nast South Africa, Hazendal Wines, and Young Presidents’ Organisation (YPO).

Billy B + Hayes Warner

Debuting on Sirius XM Hits 1, breakout indie pop-punk star Hayes Warner has joined forces with fellow NYC-native and rapper Billy B (“Don’t Play With It”) and songwriter, producer and legendary guitarist Kevin Rudolf (“Let it Rock”) to deliver a fresh new female power anthem reimagining the 90’s No Doubt hit “Just a Girl.” The single artwork for the song was designed by UK new media artist, Christos Alamaniotis (@christos.jpeg). You can stream/download “Just A Girl” by Hayes Warner and Billy B ft. Kevin Rudolf HERE. 

With powerful lyrics that rail against societal norms for women, the all-star group is releasing the single timed to International Women’s Day. A portion of the single’s proceeds will be donated to Supermajority, an organization dedicated to building women’s collective political power by providing the information, training, and resources needed to take meaningful action at the local, state, and national levels.

Just as the No Doubt hit tackled themes of gender roles and autonomy, this new take captures what it’s like to be a woman in 2024 and shares similar yet different frustrations with the world. Hayes’ lyrics “nothing new to say about it, nothing’s getting through. I’ll just sing the same old chorus ‘cause that shit’s still true” showcases that while the world may look different now, women will continue to be resilient and overcome the challenges that they continue to face. Pair this with Billy B’s clever rap verse, “the boys do it good but the girls do it better,” the classic hit becomes a modernized pop-punk anthem reminding the world that women will continue to empower one another in a world that often refuses to empower them. 

“Ever since I can remember, I’ve been a fan of No Doubt and Gwen Stefani,” said Hayes Warner. “Their tongue-in-cheek lyric writing and high energy performances has had a huge impact on me and my own artistry. With this new reimagined version of “Just A Girl” I wanted to honor that while creating a version that reflects my 2024 perspective. I’m so excited to collaborate with amazing artists like Billy B and Kevin Rudolf, who both add their own levels of brilliance to the track. Our version ‘Just A Girl’ was made to remind the world that women are strong and resilient. Partnering with an organization like Supermajority to release this song on International Women’s Day feels like the perfect way to bring that to life in a meaningful way that uplifts female voices.”

“We had so much fun recording this track,” noted  Billy B. “When I was first approached about this collaboration I knew immediately it was something I wanted to be a part of. I’ve been inspired by so many strong women in my life and I’m thrilled to be a voice that contributes to supporting and uplifting them.”

“I’m beyond excited to work with these amazing women and uplift their message in this impactful anthem,” said Kevin Rudolf. “Hayes and Billy are brilliant artists and I cannot wait for the rest of the world to check them out.”

Hayes has had a meteoric rise, recently signing an international publishing deal with Glassnote Records and touring with the likes of Flo Rida and Fetty Wap. In 2023, Hayes delivered a viral  girl-powered breakup anthem “Breadcrumbs” which featured artist, Loren Gray. Additionally, Hayes’ single “Dead to Me” hit over 1 million streams, proving that fans are connected and resonating with her music. Up next, Hayes is looking forward to dropping her debut EP later this year.

Billy B Q&A

Can you tell us a bit about how this collaboration came together with you, Hayes Warner, and Kevin Rudolf?

So, one day I’m on IG, being that I’m an indie artist. I check my dm’s like clockwork, lol, and I see a dm request from Hayes. She hit me up like, “hey girl, we should collaborate,” or something of the sort. Once I heard her track “Breadcrumbs” I was sold! The rest was magic!

You came through on this song with some really fun bars! What was your writing process like, and which lyric was your favorite?

Thank you! My writing process has changed over the years. I used to get wasted and vibe out to the beat until I came up with my cadence for my flow and went from there. Lol! Now that I’m in my soft girl era. I write my verses while I’m doing my morning workout once my pre workout kicks in, lol. for this specific track, I wrote it on the elliptical at LA Fitness. Since this was more of a pop track, I wanted to make sure I bring that hip-hop flare but still keep it very girly, girl. My fav lyric is definitely, “The boys do it good, but the girls do it better!”

The song samples the 90s No Doubt hit, “Just a Girl.” Did you know the song prior to working on this? If so, do you remember the first time you heard the original?

I honestly didn’t know the original song. I was in the studio with a producer friend of mine and I was telling him about me hopping on the track with Hayes and when I played it for him he was like “OH SHOOT THATS NO DOUBT JUST A GIRL SAMPLE” lol and that’s how I found out.

What is it about this song that resonates with you?

I resonate with the mellow dramatic vibe of the song. Us women literally deal with a tone of adversity daily from balancing our careers with our personal lives to figuring out what we want to eat for the day. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and you just wanna scream out “IM JUST A GIRLLL” like leave me alone loll. But we manage to get things done all while looking absolutely stunning. 

Why do you think this song is still so applicable to today, and what do you hope people get from this new version?

Well girls will be girls today, tomorrow and even a 100 years from now. It’s been proven! I hope that other girls get to feel soft, girly, and completely liberated while listening to our modern twist to this classic track. Me and Hayes have an authentic bond that we’ve built off of doing something that we both love and are passionate about. I hope it inspires more women to link up and create. 

The song is being released on International Women’s Day and a portion of the proceeds from the song will be donated to the organization Supermajority, which is committed to advocating for female leadership and providing women the information, training, and resources needed to take meaningful political action at the local, state, and national levels. Why was this important to you?

Supporting other women and building a community to help us all get ahead is very important to me. I am excited that some of the proceeds will be going towards a good cause. 

What type of impact would you like to accomplish with this release?

Honestly I hope to have a global impact with this song! I always feel empowered when listening to it and I hope other women feel the same. 

Do you have anything else upcoming our readers should look out for?

I’m working on my EP right now and planning to drop it around top of summer. I am super excited about that. 

NICOLAS JOESTEN

PODCAST

WATCH

Ghanaian-German top model/influencer Nicolas Joesten is one of the most sought-after talents in the industry. With strong representation, a healthy following, and an IQ, it’s apparent that this handsome man will continue to soar.

After being signed to Wilhelmina seven years ago, this promising new face made a lot of noise in the industry with his athletic physique and good looks. However, after meeting  social media maverick Kjordy, he began to interview people on the street to learn the field and better understand the process. His ability to improvise and persuade bystanders to speak to him has given him a slight edge over most. This millennial, unlike others in his category, is able to easily take a room and make people fall head over heels. Mostly, his approachability on the scale from 1 to 10 is a 12. He’s not afraid to stand up for himself, his family, or even what he believes in.

Nick’s candid conversation with Vaughn was characterized by his transparency and willingness to be himself. Boris Kodjoe became a bankable Hollywood A-Lister because of his likeability. And if his personality doesn’t enchant you, then his athletic build will. Just as easy-going as our former cover star Broderick Hunter, who has gained major roles on shows like Insecure or opportunities to engage audiences as an event correspondent/special guest for various entities like GQ, 360, and Essence. It’s incredible to see him in action. His thick European accent isn’t just for show. NJ is extremely articulate and has already brokered partnerships/campaigns with GAP, Davidoff, Ted Baker, Bamboo Clothing, and L’Oréal. Joesten has the chance to take the USA by storm, and he is in a league of his own. After all, this well-educated, cultured, and traveled hunk is equally articulate, talented, and photogenic. It’s only a matter of seconds before the universe aligns his purpose, passion, and professionalism to a project that will propel him to his destiny as a powerhouse player in the new age world of entertainment.

SKAIWATER + LIL NAS X

Burgeoning artist/producer, skaiwater, unveils “light!” with multi-platinum award-winning artist Lil Nas X, marking Nas’ first solo feature collaboration with another artist. Produced by 9lives, the new rendition delves into the theme of young love, shedding ‘light’ on the hidden toxicity that often lurks beneath the surface. Between skaiwater’s fresh, unique storytelling and Lil Nas X’s magnetic presence, the duo is unmatched as they effortlessly fuse distinct, vibrant, and innovative styles. Of the track skaiwater shares “‘light!’ came together at the end of 2023. I wanted to try my hand at a revival of the jerk wave and when Nas heard the record he immediately wanted to put a verse down. As a longtime friend, I think him and I feel like this was the right time to collaborate.” Listen to the track HERE via Good Talk/Geffen. 

Accompanying the track is a music video that transports viewers into an alternate reality where skai, Lil Nas X, and others are transplanted to a video game universe. Much like a 2-player game, relationships present challenges that must be overcome together. We navigate through levels or stages, drawing lessons from our experiences, and occasionally hitting the restart button to move forward. Watch the video HERE, premiering today at 1pm ET. skaiwater and Lil Nas X’s collaboration stretches back to early days of social  media. Their friendship blossomed, eventually leading to fruitful musical collaborations. Notably, skai’s involvement in Lil Nas X’s “Holiday” marked a significant milestone in their partnership which later led to skai joining Nas’ UK and European “Long Live Montero” tour.

In 2022, skaiwater experienced a breakout year with the release of their 11-track project, rave. This project included standout tracks like “boys don’t cry” and “miles,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert. rave resonated strongly with audiences, garnering millions of streams and making its mark on various music charts, including those on TikTok and Spotify.In the past year, skaiwater shared several tracks, including “emo hotel,” “good things,” and “good things 2” featuring Tana. These releases received support from Our Generation and RIFF Magazine, both of which praised their music for its “hypnotic beats,” attention-grabbing qualities, and “slick lyrics.” Now, with the arrival of “light!,” skaiwater is signaling a new wave of music that’s yet to come.
