“I walk up in this bitch and let the light hit me” - Nakim

During dark times comes a dark voice willing to go to extreme measures.  Those that rep that Black, this Friday, Nov 25th, “Black Friday” will receive the message as Harlem & YHCs own Nakim will be releasing his debut project, “FUK EM” to the public raw & uncensored.  As he would say, “I’m just telling it how it is, and I’m not sorry if I offend you.  Fuk Em All.”

I’d like to thank everyone that came out this past Friday to celebrate my birthday aka G-Day. It was a wonderful evening of laughter, drinks and music. I’d like to thank Larry & David @ Santos for being such great hosts. Chad & Promise for holding down the door like they always do. The GFCnewyork family for their commitment and loyalty over the years.  And The Black Apple for reminding us why everyone comes here to pursue their passions and dreams.  This story is only beginning…

Words From Ronin…

Check out our second magazine out of Dash Publications, America Nu Magazine. As Creative Director, I wanted to push my refined aesthetic even further to come up with something that feels classic! Between the two magazines (this and Karin + Raoul), working with Art Director David Barnett, Editor-In-Chief Raquel Horn (America Nu) and Editor-In-Chief Hassan Kinley (Karin + Raoul) was indispensable to my development as an artist. In the past 6 months my eyes have been opened to totally new art forms, aesthetics, and mediums (I plan on tackling sculpture) and I’m excited for what’s to come next. Thank you Dame, McKenzie, Raquel, Hassan, and Cynthia for allowing me to work alongside you to create these pieces of work. Check out America Nu and Karin + Raoul when you have a sec and provide your feedback.

BTW, The Black Apple is featured in this issue of America Nu, don’t miss out on that story.
