Thank you tyler. Collection set to drop 6/7/2019 4 One of a kind: Vuhlandes There’s a lot of young photographers out there, and so- me have a very unique style and mindset. When it comes down to this small group of photographers, Vuh is one of them. He mostly shoots stunning shots of everyday ghetto life. Lots of guns, smoke and cars. But most importantly lots of emotion. He takes fotos of all sorts of stuff. But in both cases, Vuh always tries to de- pict his current feeling at the location of the shot in his photos. And that’s what makes his photographs so spe- cial. You can feel them. 5 VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES VUHLANDES 6 All pictures are from vuhlandes.com All pictures are 7 Artist close-up: Frank Ocean To start this whole thing of, Those who have heard name me three artists that his sound before, might can do both a perfect back- be able to understand flip and can sing good what’s so special about enough to be grammy it.

This tweet was writ- ten by Frank on his choise of dropping Nostalgia, Ultra (a mixtape full of video game references such as soul cali- bur and goldeneye) indepen- dently instead of together with Def Jam. Despite of the ongoing friction between him and the label, Frank released his first studio album in Frank playing video games. He used 2012;“Channel Orange”, under to play a lot as a child.

People weren’t expecting a new album just yet, as Frank had just left Def Jam. But then, arguably the biggest fi- nesse in music industry hap- pened. Frank had definitely outplayed Def Jam. As he re- leased his long awaited, se- cond studio album “Blonde” later that day. And it was an instant smash hit, which even peaked as number one al- bum. Including fan favorites Nikes, Ivy, Solo and Nights, most fans consider it Frank at his finest. Fans loved the album and where satisfied for the time being. Despite the succes of the album, the- re wasn’t any blonde tour. Wether this is because Frank likes to keep things on a down low, or just likes to keep a mysterious twist to his character is unknown. 12 What whe know is that when he turns up somewhere, it’s most times unexpected. Most times he is spotted at fashion shows or just doing his thing outside, like casually doing a backflip in the citypark. And the fact that Frank doesn’t preform a lot and doesn’t do a lot of interviews is what makes his appearances so special. In 2017, he released 3 singles. Chanel (discussing his bi-sexuality), biking (a track with hov in the intro and a Ty- ler Verse) and lens. He also appeared on a few tracks on Tyler, The Creators “Flower Boy”. On the 22nd of July, Frank ap- peared at FYF festival, and gave the crowds one hell of a show. A real strong ambience could be felt during his performeran- ce. Because of Franks incredible live voice. The year after, we got the single “Moon River” and this was the only music we would recieve from him for a while. Furthermore, Frank has made appearances in GQ , Dazed and Gayletter. He also took some shots at met gala, which can be found on the internet. He currently lives in New York City and every now and then he posts on his IG page (which has been turned into a public one earlier this year). But when new music is going to be released is not sure. It could be tomorrow, or in a month, maybe in a few years or just as you’re reading this. That’s the risk of being a Frank fan, you never know what you get and when you get it. But when it drops, It’s almost guaranteed that it’s going to be great. 13 Via: blonded on IG 14 15 Bape x Ghostbusters; Ghostbusters 35th anniversary Shoes: $184 Tee: $50 Beautiful, ugly tees Playboi Carti rocking an electrified shirt, and so- me type of skeleton py- jama shit everyone used to have as a kid.

Alright they’re only opinions. But still we’re going to discuss some of the most anticipated, recently released albums. Just for fun. Wether you like Billie, or wether you don’t, is up to you. But her debut album; ‘WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?’ is pretty much already a classic.
