The Weeknd just released a new mixtape titled Echoes of Silence. Although he is well known in many circles, many people still haven not heard him yet. Trust me, you should definitely pay attention. He is an amazing artist with an amazing production team. In the age of over-promotion via social media, The Weeknd was able to build hype on the quality of his music and a little help from Drizzy. His first 2 mixtapes House of Balloons and Thursday are amazing from top to bottom, and I expect his new mixtape to be just as good. Download them all for free here on The Weeknd’s official site.

Quality, taste, and craftsmanship

A cool event with up-and-coming artists and designers hosted by one of my favorite humans, the awesome Vashtie Kola (Check out her work and blog here) I wish that I had taken a lot more pics of the audience so you could see how many creative minds were in attendance that night. The young creative community in Atlanta and its surrounding areas is vastly underrated. Our voices will be heard soonCool sounds from Weapons of Audio (Russell and I really enjoyed their music)Vashtie entertaining the crowd and handing out free pinsWith Blair Caffey (friend and co-founder of Honor Roll Clothing Group.
