A Whole New WORLDZ

Greetings from California. Today kicks off WORLDZ. WORLDZ is a platform like none other. It’s been defined by some as the Harvard of culture. It’s always a worthwhile gathering where many of the best and brightest brand marketers investing in culture come together to exchange ideas. It’s only done with a flair that makes […]

A Journey Across America 🐍🇺🇸🎶

Of all the fascinating musician stories this summer, one of the most breathtaking has been Mike Posner’s walk across America. On March 1st, Mike set out to go coast to coast on foot. He started in Asbury Park on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and began releasing all types of content, from videos […]

#BansOffMyBody

It’s a hard time right now. The Amazon is burning in real-time. Global warming is causing environmental disaster after environmental disaster. Pollution is contaminating our oceans and eroding our ozone. Babies are being separated from their families at the border. Horrible mass shootings and acts of hate continue to plague the country. Big […]

Jay Running Plays

I’m back in a New York state of mind after a week in the Vineyard relaxing with my feet in the sand. It honestly felt too short. Now I’m playing catch-up before we head into Labor Day. August is weird for workaholics. A lot happened in the world of sports the past week. As […]

Vacation Mode

Greetings from Marthas Vineyard. After two delays and having to give back two days because of work… I finally made it to my favorite place in the world and starting today, I’m switching over to vacation mode for at least a week. Every year around this time, i choose the Vineyard over the Playa. One […]

Woodstock’s Debacle

I spent the weekend outside Bethel, home of the original Woodstock, at Silent G Farms, which got me thinking about how wild the unraveling of Woodstock 50 is. The Woodstock 50 announcement came out of nowhere. It was a great headline that got immediate traction. It cut through the noise and became one of the […]

The Great Chart Debate

It was quite a week. From the passionate, heated debates at RapCon to flying into Chicago to work with some of the country’s brightest cultural brand marketers and up-and-coming artists, the depth of my conversations was vast and all centered around the state of the industry. One of the biggest stories in music this […]

NYC Is Heatin’ Up 🔥

I can’t tell what was hotter last week: the Internet or New York City. I was bummed that OZY Fest in Central Park was canceled due to the heat although it was obviously the right call. What a dope concept: thought leaders, musicians, celebrity chefs, and sports stars all in one “idea gumbo.” Maybe next […]

The Internet’s Big Con

“Because the Internet,” there are more cons than ever. I’m not referring to the many tech companies going public before their balance books are profitable (we’re looking at you, Netflix). I’m talking about the good cons: VidCon, ComplexCon, and RapCon. What’s the red thread? They’re all helping the Internet come to life through real-world experiences. […]

#EQUALPAY Is The Way

This weekend, the US Women’s National Team won the World Cup for a record fourth time. On the heels of Independence Day, the victory brought with it a rousing political debate about equal pay and gender discrimination. In March, 28 members of the USWNT sued the U.S. Soccer Federation for discrimination. The athletes claim to […]

Summer Soundtrack 2019

I’ve been making mixtapes for as long as I can remember. It’s how I first fell in love with music. My friends in high school would slide me custom mixtapes to bump after school and, eventually, romantic interests would do the same. It was a glorious time for self-discovery and shared experiences. As time […]
