Beautiful people, it’s your favorite wanderlusty wayfarer Alejandro back with another scintillating recap of our latest fun-filled adventure–this time, in Malibu, California where we drove the impressive new 2021 Polaris Slingshot through stunning locales with celebrity guest Bow Wow along for the ride.

At first, I was hesitant to fly across the country during a surging pandemic but the Delta flight experience was actually pleasant with more space and less stress than usual.

If you choose to fly between now and 2021 2022, wear a face shield + comfortable mask (yes, I’m one of those people) and you’ll be fine.

Upon arrival at Malibu’s critically-acclaimed Surfrider hotel, we were treated like family by the nicest staff ever that seems to have perfected customer service.

It’s exactly where you’d want to stay after these pants-less months in quarantine and has a beach and several cool shops across the street.

At one point, while eating the swankiest locally-sourced breakfast in Malibu, I thought to myself: “you deserve this” before sliding on my mask, selecting a brand new helmet and driving through the sun-kissed gem that served as the perfect backdrop for our drive.

Polaris did an amazing job planning our route that took us outside the city, along the beach and eventually through the zig-zagging canyons that gave me a genuine feel for the best Slingshot to date.

Focusing on the drive, style and sound, the latest and greatest Slingshot upgraded AutoDrive transmission with paddle shifters, expanded color accent options with customizable LED interior lighting and added a new Rockford Fosgate® audio system with Apple CarPlay® integration while boasting the largest offering of accessory upgrades ever offered.

“In January, we promised our new 2020 Slingshot would be a game changer for consumers and dealers,” said Chris Sergeant, Polaris Slingshot Vice President.

“Based on the tremendous success we have seen this year, there is no question we delivered on that promise. We elevated the experience in every meaningful way and created a more accessible offering for people to enjoy the next-level driving experience only a Slingshot can deliver.”

With smoother gear shifts, bigger (and bolder) sound and an enhanced engine, the 3-wheel dazzler lived up to the hype that’s sure to attract a new wave of customers.

Overall, I highly recommend the 2021 Slingshot to anyone A) considering purchasing one (especially if they’re new to the experience) B) looking for something cool and customizable that owns the road or C) ready to take their pandemic joy rides to the next level.

Polaris listens to its customers and it shows with the additions, enhancements and upgrades.

They also made sure we were safe the entire time by providing masks and sanitation stations at the hotel. The planning, organization and snacks were impeccable. 10/10 COVID-safe trip, highly recommend.

nion LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG “I’m Back” Brings Vintage Flair to a SNKRS Release

HonkMagazine

The legacy of Michael Jordan goes beyond winning championships, it’s also about his incredible comebacks. The Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG “I’m Back” sneaker was created to celebrate his famous return to basketball. This shoe beautifully combines classic Jordan style with Union LA’s unique deconstructed look, making it more than just footwear, it’s a statement. The sneaker features a sleek white leather base that pays tribute to Jordan’s Chicago roots with striking red overlays. A stylish black Swoosh stands out on the side, complemented by grey accents around the collar.

The creative stitching, which is a signature of Union, gives the shoe a handcrafted appearance, setting it apart from other Air Jordans. What makes this collaboration special are the thoughtful details. The exposed stitching in blue and gold adds a custom feel, making it look unique and personal, making it a favorite among sneaker fans. The sail-colored midsole offers a vintage touch, making it look like a classic from the ’90s. Meanwhile, the red rubber outsole ensures durability and grip, making it suitable for both everyday wear and sports. Branding is important here, too.

The classic Nike Air tag on the tongue keeps it authentic, while the special UN/LA tag on the collar gives a shout out to the impact of the LA-based store on sneaker culture. Inside, high quality materials make sure that these stylish shoes are also comfortable to wear. Originally available through Union LA and select Jordan retailers, the Air Jordan 1 High OG “I’m Back” will launch on Nike’s SNKRS website. With so much excitement around this release, it’s likely to sell out quickly. Whether you’re a dedicated Jordan fan, a supporter of Union LA, or just someone who appreciates a well made sneaker, this upcoming drop is definitely one to look out for.

Charlamagne Tha God Mocks Drake as UMG Moves to Dismiss His Lawsuit

HonkMagazine

Charlamagne Tha God, known for his straightforward and often blunt opinions, has taken a shot at Drake following a legal dispute with Universal Music Group (UMG). The popular radio host criticized Drake after UMG tried to push back against a lawsuit Drake filed against them. Charlamagne called Drake a “sore loser,” suggesting that the rapper’s decision to go to court was more about not getting what he wanted than a fight against the music industry. In his comments, Charlamagne argued that the legal arguments made by UMG were in line with his own views.

He expressed frustration with fans and commentators who are portraying Drake’s lawsuit as a bold stand against the music business. “It’s funny how people want to make Drake out to be a revolutionary,” he said, highlighting how dramatic some discussions around the issue have been. He mocked those who claimed that Drake was in serious danger from UMG, calling them overly dramatic. Charlamagne pointed out that Drake is still extremely successful, selling records, getting played on the radio, and continuing to make music just like he always has.

He emphasized that this legal battle is not about fighting against unfair treatment in the industry, rather, he believes it’s simply about Drake being unhappy with his situation. This isn’t Charlamagne’s first criticism of Drake, and it likely won’t be the last. Their back and forth has been ongoing for years, with Charlamagne often questioning Drake’s choices and moves in the music world. With UMG now working to dismiss the lawsuit, Charlamagne feels even more justified in his views. Regardless of whether you support Drake or Charlamagne, it’s clear that their paths will continue to cross in public discussions about the music industry.
