E-40 has added another pillar to his alcohol empire. On Thursday, the Bay Area hip-hop legend announced the release of Tycoon Vodka, a six-times-distilled vodka distributed by Southern Glazer’s. E-40 began teasing the brand on social media earlier this year, when he unveiled its art deco-inspired packaging and shared a behind-the-scenes look at the manufacturing process. […]

Last month’s ComplexCon was one for the books! And no one had a better time than Hit-Boy.  Riding on the coattails of his opening performance for music icon, Missy Elliott, at the launch of PATRÓN EL ALTO at Las Vegas hot spot, Zouk, the Grammy award-winning rapper and producer joined forces with PATRÓN Tequila once […]

The term “royalty” has reemerged into the pop-culture zeitgeist, removed from Eurocentric fairytales and the archaic confines of the monarchy and redefined as an attainable reference point for the everyday person that yearns for their little bit of grandiosity.

Ottawa artists Lindasson and TwoTiime have linked up for a remix of “Eighties”. Originally released by Lindasson in 2020, “Eighties” is a melodic track that calls back to old-school styles. The flair of TwoTiime’s verse brings the remix to a whole new level. The differing tones of the pair’s vocals add texture and depth, elevating […]

Designers are more than just creators, they’re visionaries with a plan—sketching, simulating, and stitching together a variety of materials to make a (fashion) statement. And while there’s typically one name etched across a clothing label, it takes a team to bring that vision to life. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey believes in the future, but even […]

Just a week after dropping her first track of year “Fiji,” Toronto’s Savannah Ré has just shared the visualizer for “Last One,” her new single featuring Dylan Sinclair. With chorus-drenched guitars and a singalong chorus, “Last One” describes the certainty of knowing you’ve found the one. “Nothing before matters no more/I will be the last one to […]
