These are the People behind Dubai’s Leading Art Galleries
Dubai-based, multidisciplinary artist Janna Soueidan visited three art galleries within the city and met up with the curators to get a deeper understanding of its art world."The feeling I get when walking into an art gallery is a form of escapism. To me, galleries provide a respite from the noise and chaos of my everyday life, offering me a space of contemplation and introspection," Soueidan explains. "The second I walk into one, I suddenly feel a sense of inspiration, wonder and joy that I can’t compare to any other experience. It can sometimes be emotional, discovering new artists or pieces that resonate with me on a personal level."

Goldie Harrison Believes That Independence Is the Future of the Music Industry
The music industry has redefined itself time and time again, restructuring the systems in place that many have deemed to be questionable — even unfair towards the artists the business is built on. The people that make the business go round are trapped in dirty contracts depriving artists of ownership of their masters, unequal 360 deals and more, but with the rise of music distributors like UnitedMasters, which focuses on developing artist-driven careers, and executives like UM’s own Goldie Harrison, there’s a fighting chance that the industry is on a path towards self-sufficiency.Spending the last two years with and outside of UnitedMasters in different job capacities has given Harrison a bird's eye view of what an equitable framework in the music industry should look like. As UnitedMaster...
These 9 Black Entrepreneurs and Creatives Are Changing Golf
As a rule of thumb, Black culture has always driven trends across streetwear, sports and lifestyle, from the rise of brand logos as status symbols in the 80s, to the growth of sneaker culture emanating from basketball in the 90s. In golf, early pioneers of the culture include Lee Elder, who broke the color barrier at The Masters in 1975, and Calvin Peete, who was the winningest Black golfer on tour before Tiger Woods came around. When Tiger did finally arrive on the scene, he brought golf to a completely new audience and inspired an entire generation of young golfers who came after him.20 years on from Tiger's initial surge, a new wave in golf is being led by Black innovators not through the PGA TOUR, but through creative content and ventures that show a more dynamic side of the sport.

Moneybagg Yo Is Leaning Into His Feels For His Next Album
Moneybagg Yo is one of the most productive rappers in the game. The Memphis-born talent made his dent in the scene nearly a decade ago with Federal, a mixtape that circulated around Memphis and eventually made its way beyond Tennessee state lines. Following the tragic death of his fellow freestyler and biggest champion, Elo, in 2015, ‘Bagg (as he often calls himself) was propelled to take music more seriously, starting with a mixtape tribute to his late friend.Since then, ‘Bagg has unleashed four studio albums, an EP and 15 mixtapes. While the rapper is driven by tenacity alone — as evidenced by his remarkably long tracklists, with tapes often running over 20 songs — it was his fans who were the driving force behind his latest endeavor. Speaking to Hypebeast, ‘Bagg says his new album is ce...
