Enjoy “Quiero Saber” (which definitely has a more Hip-Hop feel than what I’ve come to expect from Pitbull these days) below.

The intersection between music and fashion continues its prevalence stepping into 2017; many fashion designers utilizing icons in and out of the industry to push their products and clothing ideas, many artists using fashion as a gateway into a sphere where the creative and restless can further admire and build upon their sonics. Additionally, both fields have been used as mediums where messages and concepts can be pushed and emphasized via deeper, sometimes more ambiguous depictions. From feminism to race relations to gender identities- the largest intersectionality between the two fields is most certainly the end goals of creating some sort of aesthetic, vibe, or essence.

Chris Porter remains prominently involved in delivering music that can easily accompany the footsteps of a runway model, with the two culminating into an inexpressible aesthetic. The visual for “Catwalk Killer” features this exact idea, with Porter shown in Columbia with cuts of models strutting about.

Chris Porter spoke with RESPECT. about his fears, fashion, and collaborating with Pitbull.

Kent Jones is still riding off the success of his latest single “Don’t Mind“, That was a part of his Tours project that was released back in 2015.

If you haven’t  heard the original version for this track or don’t follow his  manager DJ Khaled‘s Snapchat. Jones “Don’t Mind” has been skyrocketing up the charts over the past few months. Currently, the record is #4 on the Billboard Hot Hip-Hop/R&B charts song, which is only behind Drake, Desiigner, and Rihanna.

This is quite a feat for someone who just signed his first deal. Jones celebrates this accomplishment by enlisting Young Money representer Lil Wayne and, Mr. 305 himself, Pitbull for the remix. Plus Khaled  brings his trademark hypeman ad-libs to the mix  just in case people forgot  that this is a We The Best production.

Jones himself even drops a more impressive verse than in the original. Kent gives listeners the best two bars of his short career by saying

“She don’t wanna leave, why? /Cause I’m a true religion/Tell your friend to be my guest, and if she smart she know the rest.

After hearing these two lines I was reminded why I was drawn to Jones’ mixtape Tours in the first place.

You can listen to the “Don’t Mind” remix here.

Justice Crew is an Australian hip-hop dance and pop music group, made up of group members: Lukas Bellesini, Paul Eric Merciadez, John Len Ruela Pearce, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Samson Cosray Smith and Solo Tohi. The six-man  group began their career as hip-hop dancers that won the popular Australian dance competition show, Australia’s Got Talent during it’s fourth season in 2010. The group later secured a recording contract with Sony Music Australia, in late 2010, and gained gold, platinum and multi-platinum success of single releases in their homeland.

Now that the group has a secondary contract in the United States with rapper Pitbull‘s Mr. 305 label imprint which is also distributed by RCA/Sony Music Group, the guys are driven to achieve worldwide success. “Boom Boom” is the group’s first United States single, and their fifth in Australia. The single has already peaked number one on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, and is the group’s first number one single in their homeland. The single was originally submitted for Pitbull‘s upcoming album, but he decided not to use it. He heard the single gaining airplay in Australia, while there for his Planet Pit World Tour, but decided to check them out further before signing them to a record deal.

What impressed Pitbull was not only the group’s dance moves but also their singing ability and how it allowed them to gravitate towards their target audience. Plus, the group’s ability to connect with various audiences after watching visuals of touring performances. Justice Crew performed as opening acts for tours from Sony’s U.S. and U.K. recording artists including Chris Brown (F.A.M.E. Tour) and One Direction (Up All Night Tour).

Now, that Pitbull‘s record label has released the group’s first U.S. single, “Boom Boom”, domestically the group has gained popularity on radio and music networks across the United States. The song, which was written by Cash Money recording artist Jay Sean, adds a new fusion of hip-hop, house and pop music. It targets hip-hop music by adding the original hip-hop beats to attract urban youth audiences, but it will still cause you to get up and move on the dance floor.

Pitbull now has visuals for “Back in Time,” the theme song for the upcoming Men In Black 3.  It’s hard to watch this video without thinking of Louis C.K.’s joke about race and time travel, but it’s possible to enjoy it nonetheless, especially if you’re looking forward to the movie.
