Myke Towers releases new song mi droga via 360 magazine.

Myke Towers – Mi Droga

WATCH THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “MI DROGA” HERE

Leading lyricist in Latin music, Myke Towers, releases long anticipated fourth studio album, LA VIDA ES UNA. This project finds the singer-songwriter reintroducing himself in a new era: swaying away from his grittier hoodgrown rap and bringing in new global genres in his 23-track commercial sequence. LA VIDA ES UNA also displays a confident Myke, one that graduated from various levels of the music industry – he is no longer the young teen that went viral on SoundCloud, he is an international star. On the album, he built the courage to release exploratory sounds that welcome body movement and dance as well as more “romantiqueo” (romanticism). To achieve this, Myke takes his listeners on a sonic journey through globalized music that includes Alt-pop, afrobeat, and reggae. 

“I’m at a level where I feel like I’m graduating and heading to a new level. This music is a refreshment that was needed.I made this album so I can sing with and to my fans.” Myke Towers

Coming off the heels of his recent releases “AGUARDIENTE” and “ULALA (OOH LA LA)” featuring Daddy Yankee, Towers drops the album along with a video for “MI DROGA”, a track with a guitar foundation and led by sharp, romantic strings. On it, Myke croons and raps to narrate the story of both his lust and the alluring characteristics of his romantic partner, like her independence and self-assurance.

LA VIDA ES UNA brings forth new tracks that will recenter Myke Towers since his hiatus: “I took a break, and it helped me focus on creating the right way. I had a lot of songs out, and I needed to take a step back because I want to be intentional with my releases, not for the sake of doing things,” he says. Throughout the years Myke has become one of the most in-demand rappers in the movement, and on this project he brings on titans of the industry such as, Arcangel, for “DON Y TEGO” where they give flowers to their favorite rappers and honor “Bandoleros” — an irreplaceable track that has become a classic and remains special to lyricists today. 

The Latin GRAMMY® nominated artist honors East Coast rap with “CAMA KING” alongside Chita and the reggae culture that birthed a plethora of sub-genres and movements with “FLOW JAMAICA.” Some diversified moments include the Alt-trap “EXTRA EXTRA” and the Play-N-Skillz-produced funk “SABADO.” He also dabbles in afrobeat like on “MUNDO CRUEL” for example, produced by Colombian reggaeton hitmaker Sky Rompiendo. These themes are also present on “CONOCERTE” featuring Ozuna.

“I wanted to challenge myself with this album. I took risks and tried new things – things I didn’t do in the past,”  notes Towers.

A collaborator among the genre’s biggest names, he’s worked with artists such as Bad Bunny, Wisin, Cardi B, Farruko, Maluma, Piso 21, Sech, Yandel, Anitta, Selena Gomez, Becky G, Amenazzy and Arcangel to name a few. LA VIDA ES UNA is a sequenced project by Myke since 2021’s LYKE MIKEwhich dropped on the heels of his EP, Para Mi Ex, in which he wrapped the decade, surprising fans with hit tracks “Explícito,” “Extasy,” “Mi X,” and the focus track “Bandido” alongside artist, Juhn. This followed his 2020 critically acclaimed sophomore album Easy Money Babywhich debuted at number #1 and has garnered over a billion streams combined alongside being certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA. Certifications also include “La Playa” (6x Platinum), “Diosa” (7x Platinum), “La Playa Remix” (3x Platinum), “Si Se Da” (11x Platinum), “Si Se Da Remix” (13x Platinum) and “Girl” (5x Platinum). 

With LA VIDA ES UNA, Myke Towers illustrates an assertive and festive Myke, one who is ready to reach a wider scope of listeners. This era of Myke’s artistry wants to bring good vibes, joy, dance, and love through desirable tracks.

LOUIS VUITTON PRESENTS SPRING-SUMMER 2023 AT THE PEREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI

Louis Vuitton announces the presentation of its Women’s Spring-Summer 2023 Collection today, March 14th at the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM).  

Designed by Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière, the Spring-Summer 2023 collection changes the play of proportions using the Maison’s signatures, bringing the infinitely large and infinitely small together in one silhouette. This new balance is found in the collection’s scale: zippers and snaps are oversized, clasps become belt buckles, and a scrap of leather is turned into an outfit, among other reinterpretations. The collection is a stylistic exercise that re-evaluates the proportions of clothing and accessories, unsettling the codes of femininity. Each piece highlights the details and honors the DNA of the house with references like locks, clasps and trunk corner pieces-all custodians of a narrative that endures.

Originally unveiled in October 2022 within the majestic surroundings of the Cour Carrée at the Louvre in Paris, the Miami Trunk show took place at PAMM, an innovative museum dedicated to contemporary art designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. Located on Miami’s Biscayne Bay, the three-story building sits upon an elevated platform and below a horticultural canopy, both of which extend far beyond the museum’s walls, creating a unique shaded veranda and dynamic plazas. This iconic terrace served as the setting for the Trunk Show, which was presented twice on the 14th, at 11:00am and 4:00pm.

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHTS

FEATURED IN TALES FROM THE COLOR LINE

JAMES ARTHUR BALDWIN (born August 2, 1924, New York, New York—died December 1, 1987, Saint-Paul, France), was American essayist, novelist, and playwright; eloquent and passionate on the subject of race in America.

PHILLIP HAYES DEAN (born January 17, 1931, Chicago, Illinois–died April 14, 2014 Los Angeles) was an American stage actor and playwright who wrote a number of issue-based plays that play out the struggle for racial equality during much of the Twentieth Century: Sty of the Blind Pig (Dramatists Guild Hull-Warriner award, and Drama Desk award, 1972) Paul Robeson (Christopher Award, 1980).

CHARLES EDWARD GORDONE (born Charles Edward Fleming, October 12, 1925, Cleveland, Ohio–died November 16, 1995) was an American playwright, actor, director, educator; devoted much of his professional life to the pursuit of multi-racial American theater and racial unity. With his play No Place to Be Somebody, he was the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

LORRAINE HANSBERRY (born May 19, 1930, Chicago, Illinois—died January 12, 1965, New York, New York), was American playwright best known for A Raisin in the Sun (New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award 1959), the first drama by an African American woman to be produced on Broadway.

Both a place and a philosophy, The Actors Studio is an association of artists who, drawing from this common wellspring, have made enormous contributions to American art. Founded in 1947 in New York City by Elia Kazan, Cheryl Crawford, and Robert Lewis, the Studio began as a place where theatre artists could gather, privately, to explore new and deeper connections to the work. The founding members, a group of actors, writers, and directors, were committed to redefining the art of acting, to developing a series of techniques an actor could use to search for and express the truth onstage in the moment. The workshop went on to become the most powerful influence on American acting in the 20th century and continues today serving new generations of actors who are committed to the same ideal. Founding Artistic Director, Lee Strasberg, developed a series of techniques and exercises that became known as ‘The Method’ and changed the art of acting worldwide.

Membership is free. After successfully completing a series of auditions, the actor is invited into membership for life. Membership is bi-coastal, and to support them there are two locations. New York is The Actors Studio’s birthplace and administrative headquarters. The only branch, Actors Studio West, is located in West Hollywood, CA. All members benefit from having a home with similar activities on both coasts.

Current leadership of The Actors Studio includes Co-Presidents Ellen Burstyn, Alec Baldwin and Al Pacino; Artistic Directors Beau Gravitte (NYC) and Salome Jens (L.A.); Co-Associate Artistic Directors Estelle Parsons, Michael Aronov and Javier Molina (NYC), and Katherine Cortez (L.A.)

Notable members, past and present, of The Actors Studio have included Bea Arthur, Anne Bancroft, Michael Bennett, Marlon Brando, Roscoe Lee Browne, Montgomery Clift, Common, Bradley Cooper, James Dean, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, Sally Field, Jane Fonda, Ben Gazzara, Lorraine Hansberry, Julie Harris, Dustin Hoffman, Celeste Holm, Kim Hunter, William Inge, Elia Kazan, Harvey Keitel, Stephen Lang, James Lipton, Martin Landau, Cloris Leachman, Melissa Leo, Norman Mailer, Walter Matthau, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman, Jack Nicholson, Clifford Odets, Geraldine Page, Sidney Poitier, Sydney Pollack, Jose Quintero, Jerome Robbins, Mark Rylance, Eva Marie Saint, Kim Stanley, Maureen Stapleton, Rod Steiger, Eli Wallach, Tennessee Williams, Gene Wilder, Shelley Winters and Joanne Woodward, to name a few.

ArrDee × Cat Burns

Pre-Save HERE Watch Official Video HERE

Rising superstars ArrDee and Cat Burns duet for the first time on moving new single ‘Home From My Heart,’ out 9th March on Island Records.

A poignant affair revealing ArrDee’s more tender side, ‘Home From My Heart’ tells the story of a relationship on the rocks, with the rapper exploring the struggles of balancing his newfound success with his personal life. Alongside his own gifted lyricism, ArrDee utilises Cat Burns’ sensitive guitar work and elegant vocals to maximum effect for the track’s emotional core. “Please don’t give up on us,” sings Burns in a stirring chorus. “Where’s the home for a heart when you’re a mile high?” replies ArrDee. It’s a touching sentiment about the cost of success from two artists on meteoric rises since their respective breakthroughs last year.

The single is accompanied by a heartwarming video that pays tribute to the pair’s humble beginnings. Shot with creative camerawork by director Najeeb Tarazi, the UK MVA-nominated filmmaker who has previously worked with artists including AC/DC and Gaz Coombes, the video is an intimate look into the daily lives of a revolving cast of characters – including nurses, delivery drivers, and ArrDee and Cat Burns themselves – on Britain’s homely high streets and council estates. As the characters embrace at the video’s end, ‘Home From My Heart’’s message about the importance of human connection truly resonates.

After bursting onto the scene at the start of 2021, ArrDee continues to go from strength to strength. ‘Home From My Heart’ follows last month’s raucous ‘Loser,’ which is already fast approaching two million streams on Spotify, and last year’s debut mixtape ‘Pier Pressure’ which has been BPI goldcertified, peaked at #2 in the official charts and became the biggest breakthrough release as the highest selling debut album for a British solo artist in 2022. ArrDee amassed over 500 million streams with five UK ‘Top 10’ singles – ‘Oliver Twist,’ ‘Flowers (Say My Name),’ ‘War’ with Aitch, ‘Wasted’ with Digga D and the groundbreaking remix of Tion Wayne and Russ Millions’ ‘Body.’

Fellow young breakthrough artist Cat Burns is a multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter from South London. Defined by elegant, frank, conversational lyrics and instantly familiar melodies, Cat’s remarkable sound has skyrocketed her up the single charts, made her the biggest-selling female artist of 2022 in the UK, and earned her a string of coveted accolades. With three BRITs nominations – the most for a female artist at this year‘s ceremony – a BBC Sound Poll 2023 nod, and Spotify’s Global RADAR artist to her name, Burns has the world at her feet.

‘Home From My Heart’ is a gem that sees two trailblazers united in a moment of reflection. A collaboration you won’t want to miss.

Biggie Mosaic Unveiling via 360 MAGAZINE

Biggie Mosaic Unveiling

There will be a mosaic unveiling event in recognition of the 26th Memorial date of the passing of ​​Biggie Smalls. The event will also highlight the importance of the eradication of gun violence.

Biggie laid down the road work for the inclusion of R&B in rap to create smoother blends. Biggie, and more broadly the East Coast pushed forth the trope of authenticity and keeping it real. These aspects of his character showcased an incredible amount of authenticity. Biggie represented a person confident in their being as well as their craft.

In his songs, an example being “Big Poppa,” Biggie’s lyrics feature incredible amounts of not only place but his self-recognition as one the most notorious, and the biggest and baddest on the scene. His ability to be unapologetically himself in regards to his art influenced not only other artists, but rap as a whole. His patterns of self reference and the usage of Hip Hop culture would become huge as the late 90’s rolled around.

The release of ‘Notorious B.I.G’ following Biggie’s death utilized not only reference of Biggie lyrics, but in a spiritual way transcends death and living to bring back Biggie’s legacy, and celebrate his life through the republishing of his song. The ability for Hip Hop trends to circulate and repeat is wholly beautiful. The inspirations of Biggie that remain in the industry today, allow artists to appreciate the past and Biggie’s contributions to rap today.

Artists : CARLOS PINTO, JOHN SEAR, CURATOR OF CHRISTOPHER WALLACE WAY / BIG STREET ART GALLERY – LEROY MCCARTHY of HETERODOXX INC.

Heterodoxx Inc. has been working with Sen. Schumer, Rep. Jeffries, others in Washington D.C., and locally / nationally politicians over the years to formally honor Hip Hop.

EENK FW23

For 2023 Fall/Winter, EENK presents X for the letter X, a collection dedicated to the territory of the  unknown and undefinable. X is the alphabet that represents the unknown in mathematics, the unfamiliar in society, and strange new crossovers in culture.

The collection is a departure from the borders of the old world, and lands in an adventurous territory of obscure boundaries and reconstructed identities.

The rules of gender and time are ambiguous here, where basic items are deconstructed and reconstructed into a sophisticated mystery that keeps you guessing. How many layers? Is it a skirt or are they trousers? Classical check patterns are chopped up and interweaved with Art Deco prints, paintbrush strokes and written words of contemporary literature. Fittingly for its Letter Project roots, EENK adventures into uncharted territory for the letter X.

A huge sculpture from the Korean artist Osang Kwon, internationally known for his provocative 3D sculptures made with 2D images will be present on the runway to share EENK‘s twisted, dark and unmistakably modern vision of X.

Armitron turned back the hands of time today by releasing their Vintage Archive Collection of rare timepieces from the 1970s through the 1980s. A dazzling must-have and a rare peek into the vault of the watch creators’ groundbreaking and elite history. The Vintage Archive Collection is a nostalgic reflection of the brand’s past, with twenty-two, rare watches pulled from the Armitron vault. These one or two-of-a-kind watch designs are available for sale on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The twenty-two pieces are exclusively found on Armitron.com as of today and are priced within Armitron’s famed affordable luxury standards, ranging from $85 – $125. This highly curated collection of twenty-two watches represents timeless design and quality craftsmanship. These never worn, hand-selected watches from the Armitron archives have been polished and restored to their original beauty and functionality. All original timepieces feature a stainless steel case, and some include a diamond crystal accent.

Each watch will arrive in a hand-stitched black leather case along with a certificate of authenticity. These watches blend nostalgia with modern sophistication for a treasured timepiece for years to come.

“Fashion is in flux, but Armitron is consistently keeping time at the ship’s helm.” States Bobbie Weichselbaum, CEO of E. Gluck Corporation.“We have some notable collaborations on the immediate horizon. With a launch into new designs, it seems fitting to reflect and release a few limited vintage watch designs from 40+ years ago that enabled us to bring our prestigious brand to where it is today.”

The Armitron Vintage Collection launch honors the brand’s beloved founder, Eugen Gluck, a leader in the watch industry since 1956 – making high-quality, beautifully designed timepieces accessible to all. He believed a watch was for more than just keeping time. Armitron watches were designed to signify dignity, self-expression, and a life well-lived and loved.

E. Gluck Corporation manufactures watches under their flagship proprietary brand, Armitron. The company also manufactures watches for major fashion brands, including Anne Klein, Nine West, Juicy Couture, Vince Camuto, Badgley Mischka, and Joseph Abboud. In 1999, Armitron had the fifth largest share of all watch purchases, by brand, in the United States. Armitron ranks as one of the leading fashion watch brands in the US and helped set the industry standard for manufacturing digital watches with LCD displays.

Armitron was historically identified by its connection with various professional sports teams and professional athletes.
