“Gold Teeth” displays her effortless flow and cadence alongside a hypnotic beat produced by

Her playful yet ferocious demeanor is on display as the video is set within a football stadium and featured aerial shots of her running across the track, rapping on the bleachers and commanding the camera.

Sports inspired fashion is becoming more and more popular, and thankfully the sports themselves are too as more people are getting active. Last year it seemed like Tennis-core was everywhere, but Grind City Golf is making sure golf has its moment.

The small slow and quiet luxury brand thought golf wear needed an upgrade and come full swing with these fresh looks. The boxy fits, clean cut and cool designs are not the same as your dad’s golf.

Each piece is custom made to order too. Check out the designs over at their page ⛳️ .golf.

Self taught Atlanta and Detroit based artist, Johnny Floyd’s surrealist painting style combines Black figuration with abstract and archival designs on sewn canvases, wood panel, and cotton paper.
His technicolor paintings are technical in quality through his vast painting style that at times appear to be mixed media or screenprints, but are a meticulous use of an array of paints such as oil, watercolor, india ink, acrylic, wax, and natural dyes.
His most recent work, “Ace of Pentacles,” depicts a cropped image of the closed eyes of a Black child, appearing to make a wish, dream or manifest, which likely speaks to the themes of the Ace of Pentacles card which represents, a new, highly auspicious beginning in the material world, signaling potential for financial gain, career opportunities, or stability.”
His work is currently on view in “minor Arcana at Sheetcake Gallery in Memphis, Tennessee, which reimagines the tarot. Swipe to check out the work on view and a few of his other works.
