BERWYN Is On A Path To Satisfaction
For BERWYN, music is a cathartic process. The stress, self-doubt, and anxiety felt by the Trinidadian 26-year-old rapper, singer, and producer – spurred by moving to Essex at the age of nine, and later in life finding out there were troubles surrounding his immigration status just two weeks before university – gave Berwyn Du Bois uncertainty. But through the pain comes optimism, BERWYN’s only source of hope. His pain-ridden lyrics – previously often written in the back of the car he used to sleep in – resonate with those who also experience what life is like to be Black in Britain.Fast-forwarding to 2021, BERWYN’s career jumped to a new level. Receiving his first taste of success when his debut mixtape DEMOTAPE/VEGA was shortlisted for a Mercury Prize award, the musician also went on to re...

An Early Look at the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium
Toyota has just revealed its latest Prius Prime model for 2023 and, with its clear restyling and hybrid performance improvements from the previous generation, it could be the new choice for the discerning car consumer in a "sea of electricity."The all-new Prius – which was announced earlier this year – arrived with fanfare around its substantially new design, and the Prime maximizes itself in the looks department. To summarize, the Prius Prime is sleek, with a radically raked front windshield that's more "sports coupe" than "efficient city car." A sloping rear roof that drops off suddenly at the hatch lip gives an almost boxy-yet-futuristic angle to the rear, while a flat rear bumper complements the front's near-90º angled fascia. Speaking of the rear, the Prime is actually wider than the ...
With Golf Clubs in Hand, J.R. Smith Rewrites His Narrative
Retirement doesn't have to be the end for professional athletes. In fact, it can be the start of something new. Basketball fans know J.R. Smith from his time in the NBA as a player who never turned down a difficult shot. By any measure the New Jersey native had a successful career, winning two NBA Championships and earning the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2013. At the beginning of his career, Smith took the high school to NBA route. And 16 years later, he surprised everyone when he announced he was going back to school to complete his education at North Carolina A&T, and he hoped to compete on the university's golf team.Smith has made it clear he feels that decision was forced upon him, stating in an interview in September of 2022 that he ‘100 percent’ believes he was blackballed out...
Jaguar’s F-Type R 75 Marks the End of an Era
When we think of Jaguar sports cars, generally, the legendary E-Type is what springs to mind. Under that swooping body and long nose hid either a V6 or V12 engine, while coupé or convertible formats allowed for a customizable driving experience. But before the E-Type came the XK120, Jaguar’s answer to a world that – post-war – prescribed to a “bigger is better” ethos. As such, it was the world’s fastest production car in 1948, thanks to its 120 MPH top speed – hence the name. The XK120 was conceptualized during a difficult period for the UK, but that didn’t stop Jaguar from showcasing its expertise and creativity. The result wasn’t just record-breaking performance figures, but a car that was elegant and technologically advanced. In turn, it became one of the most desired cars of its period...
