Virgil Abloh was a visionary, fashion idealist, trained architect and trailblazer. After attending one of his last projects he curated before his passing in late 2021, I was reassured of his contributions to the culture.

M Report Music Mashups: Meet ENNY


Following a momentous year that has seen her tour across the globe, rapper/singer ENNY returns with her first release of 2022, "Champagne Problems". Produced by Beat Butcha & Tala (with additional production from Will Yanez), the single is quintessential ENNY, marrying deeply intricate lyricism with butter-smooth instrumentals that’ll make you want to hit repeat before you even reach the end. Accompanying the track is a striking new B+W video directed by Jean-Sébastien Degni which was filmed around ENNY’s local community of Thamesmead, South London.

 "The journey (including relationships, whether intimate or friendships) always leads us back to self. At least it should in some way."

Finally, and interestingly enough during this season of reset/refresh/renew, I've committed to reading more books. What a disadvantage to take that for granted for too long. Maybe it was because my job usually entailed long, arduous hours staring at a computer screen to either write, proofread or edit published works. The last thing I wanted was to stare at another screen and read a book. (Yes, I've borrowed hard-cover books from the library and no, it didn't work out). Why am I telling you about this? Well, I want to be a better writer and future published author.
