I think it’s only natural for Wiz Khalifa to make a step into the fashion, given his unique style. As such, he brings to us Freshko (L.A. residents can check out the above message):

Freshko is above and beyond your average new clothing line. It is a movement , lifestyle and stee with deep roots in graffiti , music , art and fashion. A few ways to describe our style, which we like to call stee, is smooth , timeless , relevant , classic , balance , versatile , strong , positive and universal. As Wiz said music , graffiti, art, skating & even dancing all fall under the same roof -skills- a way to express yourself , be apart of a team and put vision & knowledge of your craft out there to share with others. That is what we are building at Freshko, a skilled team.

Miley Cyrus is definitely coming into her own as a woman….Elle UK got a dope feature of her (you can check out more over there) and you can check out both some behind the scenes footage above as well as pics below. We will post a quick excerpt where she speaks on staying (relatively) conservative with her image:

‘A star is someone who doesn’t have to take her clothes off to be sexy because you naturally have star power,’ she told ELLE writer Janice Turner. ‘Sex does sell, but you have to find a way that’s not just showing your tits. I don’t want to be a glorified model. They just walk on stage and it’s all about their clothes – or lack of clothes.’

Beastie Boys To Write A Memoir

From The New York Times:

Michael Diamond (a k a Mike D) and Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock), the surviving members of the hip-hop group, have signed a deal with Spiegel & Grau, an imprint of the Random House Publishing Group, for a book celebrating their history and aesthetic. A title has not been chosen, but it is planned to come out in fall 2015, the publisher is expected to announce this week.

The Beastie Boys are “interested in challenging the form and making the book a multidimensional experience…..There is a kaleidoscopic frame of reference, and it asks a reader to keep up.”

The book, to be edited by the hip-hop journalist Sacha Jenkins, will be loosely structured as an oral history. It will also have contributions by other writers, as well as a strong visual component. Ms. Grau and Luke Janklow, the group’s agent, both compared it to Grand Royal, the Beastie Boys’ acclaimed but short-lived magazine in the 1990s, which explored some of its wide-ranging pop-culture interests with curiosity and snark.
