HYPE AND THEN SOME HYPE AND THEN SOME

Welcome to our first episode of Hype+Meets! The new series meets guests that live in the worlds of our favourite things: fashion, music, sneakers and the culture. First up, we meet Reece Yeboah, fashion designer and artistic chef.

Hosted by Tobi, we delve more into Reece's story - from his first project Saint London, and more recently, his brand YEBOAH, his collaboration with COS and his plans for the future.

There’s been a lot of pushback from artists — from SZA to Fireboy — for being forced into genres they feel they don’t align with. It begs the question: is the industry pigeonholing artists? Is Wizkid really not Afro anything? Let’s get into it.

This week we talk about what on earth is happening in the music industry right now. From Quavo and Chris Brown, to Drake vs. everybody, we try to unpack what's got everyone so tight.

Following Metro Boomin’s infamous album “WE DON’T TRUST YOU” and J Cole’s surprise diss (which he’s since double backed on 😂) we caught up on all the drama in hip hop right now, and why Drake’s in the centre of it.

With recent controversy around black mega-churches, we caught up about our thoughts (or concerns) on popular branches of churches and our experience as black Christians in the UK.

This week we debated when it’s right to hold platforms and brands accountable for their actions online. Is it okay to stop someone’s bag? When is one apology enough? Who decides when a brand’s forgiven for wrongdoing? We get into it all, and then some.
