• Lil Durk And Dej Loaf Duet On “My Beyonce”

  09-11-2015 23:23 via bkmag.com
  
  Lil Durk and Dej Loaf are two outliers in the latest wave of the midwest’s incredible crop of hip-hop talent, and they’ve been stoking rumors about a potential romance for a while now. Those fires get a big dose of kerosene on their latest duet, “My Beyonce” that Billboard premiered today. Frankly, I think it’s wonderful to watch the way that “Beyonce” has become a stand-in, all-purpose term for beautiful, perfect woman, and “shorty my Beyonce&rdqu

  What does it mean to know a city? Without a doubt, you need to have lived in it. You need to have walked its streets, explored its parks and waterways; you should eat in its restaurants, feel invested in its institutions, both large and small. You need not have visited every corner of it, perhaps, but you need to know of their existence. But even if you do all this, you might still be missing the larger context of a place, an awareness of its history, its triumphs and troubles. And so there&rsqu

  Five years ago, co-working was a burgeoning concept and the trailblazing start-ups synonymous with it were just taking hold in New York. Fast forward to now, and the co-working model shows no signs of slowing down as the sharing economy makes it easier for more of us to embrace the freelance lifestyle. It makes sense then that the shared space market is expanding into the business of communes, or technically speaking, co-li

  For every trendy, boundary-pushing, farm-to-table hotspot, there’s a casual, cheap eatery to match here in New York, many of them serving street food from faraway lands.
