A solid and purely unique sound can be hard to come by these days.
Almost like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Today though, we have that needle.
NVSV, Pittsburgh based artist, is on his way to the realm of stars.
Raw sound, a diverse vernacular, NVSV delivers great energy on every track.
So who is he? 

Tell us about yourself NVSV


"I'm born and raised from Baltimore, MD.
I moved to Pittsburgh, PA in 2011 where I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
I then graduated with a Bachelors degree in Industrial Design.
I've been making music as a hobby ever since I was 11 (now 24), being the runt, I'm the youngest of 4 children.

I am first and foremost a recording artist, songwriter, and producer.
I don't like to label myself as a rapper.
I feel that I'm much more diverse than just making words rhyme.
I've written songs for bands like EVRTH, and artists like L K Hae and EVN.
I believe that my brand is compiled of eclectic visions. Art imitating the world."

What sparked your interest in the music industry?

"I got into it because it was fun.
I had a office job after graduation, doing what I went to college for, but I was becoming a plant.
My schedule became mundane.
Then about 2 years ago, I started to go to the studio everyday.
Like get off of my day job at 5:30 pm, straight to the studio until about 3 am.
Then I had to be up for work at 7 am.
I did this for about 5 months.
After compiling material, I went on tour and decided to pursue music full time."

What are your future plans and goals?

"In the future I don't want to be the "washed old rapper" that tries to stay relevant.
My end goal is to invest my earning into building and maintaining self sustaining communities.
I'm really trying to be off the grid..I guess we'll see how that works."

"Special thanks to Gold & Dagger,
Special thanks to Mario who actually introduced me to The Library Collaborative.
Mystic is now available on iTunes, Spotify, Tidal and all of that other good stuff. Follow my social medias and shit!"

You heard the man follow his social media.
It's a dope and constant supply of the work and lifestyle that is apart of NVSV's brand and inspiration.
Shoutout to the man himself and all the good people at The Library Collaborative.

Hot shoes for this summer ladies

Today we will be focusing on two of the most popular shoes that have just been blowing up all over social media. Every time this certain celebrity touches anything it instantly turns into diamonds. Whatever she wears bet you million dollars her navy is buying it up. The one and only Rihanna Fenty Puma collection .

Every since the announcement of her collaboration with Puma as well as being Puma's Creative director , the hype and anticipation has been real and for good reason. Rihanna is definitely a force to be reckoned with. With her variation of different unique styles she has blessed us with countless times. Named style icon by several top women's and men's magazines.

Needless to say girl got the eyes for style. We all get a chance to rock this unique aspects in our own personal closets. Starting with the so popular Puma creepers coming in several different colors. That will add the perfect amount of pop to any outfit. The flirty sporty look gives next level confidence for not only women but men as well. Perfect styling is pairing with any type of ripped jeans, fishnets, body con dresses, and even sun dresses. Simple and cute

And of course Rihanna got you when it comes to sandals as well. Starting with her fuzzy slides that damn there every single female on Instagram have several pairs of. Not only are they stylish but comfortable and can give a funky go lucky look to any outfit. With this she introduced her bows and jellies that came out this spring/summer.

When there is a hot style out of course comes the copy cats. Not saying that with Puma collection your not getting that high quality and of course the name brand, but you are able to find the same shoes with no direct brand for the low low.
