Idris Elba was not always the flawless, godlike star he is now. Surprisingly, the ‘100 Streets’ star caught up with VICE to share his early struggles from rags to millionaire riches. From enacting Stringer Bell, the drug kingpin from HBO’s The Wire , to Nelson Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, Elba has seamlessly navigated through his career with impeccable style and fortunately for us, without a lady on his side,
When asked about the “terrible early jobs,” Elba confessed that he used to work “in a grocery store weighing peanuts and raisins into bags. That was a bad job.”
We still find that hard to believe, but hey I guess everyone has to start somewhere.

Treasury & Mint officials unveiled the 2017 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin! https://t.co/HkfcPN5Enq #USMint225 @USTreasury pic.twitter.com/0ShGHPn5oF

It looks like the U.S. Mint has finally decided to place a black woman on U.S. currency after many years of hesitation. Representing “Lady Liberty” (who graces Ellis Island to this day), depicts the actual historical account of the “world famous” monuments true roots.
The U.S. Mint celebrates its 225th anniversary of existence by minting this exclusive new addition to it’s lineup. The 24K gold coin is stated to be the first in a series of coins (also carrying images of Asian-American, Hispanic-American, and Indian-American women, says the U.S. Mint.
And here’s the even better news: it’s a $100 USD coin!
As dope and historical as this is, many years have passed where some Americans didn’t fully embrace this idea previously. Last year, the news of Harriet Tubman being placed on the $20 dollar bill made many non-minority groups upset. Hey, blacks aren’t complaining about Franklins, Jacksons and Grants! Money is money, and should be used for a few things, spending, stacking and investing.
… And of course paying back your momma that loan she gave you last week for the car payment you missed.
As CNN pin-points that, there are only two coins with women on them in circulation. Let’s just embrace the diversity being put in effect on currency, shall we all? But of course, in the land of Capitalism, people will always have an opinion.
Set to drop April 6th 2017. Keep your eyes open for this release. The real question is how hard will it be to get your hands on one?

Kicking off 2017 with a bang, the three-time multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated artist/producer duo The Chainsmokers (comprised of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart) have revealed their brand new single “Paris” today.
The beachy visual was directed by Rory Kramer, features Instagram model Alexis Ren and was shot on location at Casa Malca in Tulum, Mexico.
“Paris” is the official follow up to their latest smash hit “Closer,” which dominated 2016 as one of the biggest singles of the year. “Paris” marks another offering from the duo that features vocals from Drew himself.
The Chainsmokers first teased the song at their massive sold out show at Los Angeles Convention Center on December 30, their biggest show ever played to date.
Yesterday, The Weeknd posted a picture on Instagram and said that he would be dropping the video for ‘Party Monster’ today. With that said, he surely did not let us down with that announcement.
The video doesn’t disappoint with the colorful, trippy visuals and hard to understand plot– which features vocal assistance from Lana Del Rey, who unfortunately isn’t spotted in the video at all. With her vocals on this song, she links closely to his short film Mania.
Instead, Zoe Aggeliki stars in ‘Party Monster’, directed by BRTHR. This would be The Weeknd and BRTHR’s second project together. BRTHR also directed “In The Night”, which sort of has the same colorful–old time vibe to it. Also with the sort of syntactic looking picture throughout the video, the visuals for ‘Party Monster” pairs well with the song’s slower tendencies while accompanying darker visuals.
The video is filled with women with melting faces, flashing lights, animals jumping out of television sets, tearing apart cake and The Weeknd driving off a cliff. If you want you can be the judge and see which visuals you like the best.

Hip-Hop and fashion icon, ASAP Rocky is posing for Dior Homme once again, this time for its latest ad campaign for SS17.
Who can forget when Rocky made his fashion debut with Dior Homme for it’s FW16 campaign back in the summer of last year? Donning a super scarlet trench coat, I remember that coat only because I wanted to take it off of him and wear it myself, thanks to the amazingly talented photographer Willy Vanderperre.
For, the New York rapper is seen wearing eye-catching embroidered trousers and a tailored jacket with tracksuit-style stripes and intricate details across the shoulders. Rocky is proving he can do more than crowd surf on tour.
In conjunction with the new campaign, Dior Homme launched an Instagram account (@diorhomme), which will certainly offer up plenty of dapper, well-dressed men that we could all use a little bit more of in our feeds.
Rocky is one of four creatives featured in the campaign, the others being singer-songwriter Boy George, model Ernest Klimko, and actor Rami Malek, known for his role in Mr. Robot and who is also set to star as Freddie Mercury in an upcoming Queen biopic. Check out the ad campaign above.
Yes! The very first adidas NMD R1 that made a huge splash when first released back in December 2015 is making a comeback! This sneaker caused so much buzz that all the sneakerheads were excited to see what adidas could do with this sneaker in the future. And they surely did not disappoint with releasing the NMD collaboration with BAPE, and who can forget the Pharrell Williams “PW” Human Race NMD? Genius.
The NMD R1 “OG” is set to release this Saturday, January 14, 2017. The anticipation for the release is already going to be hectic. Accordingly to some of the stores listed below, they are using raffle systems to make it as fair as possible, while others will opt for the standard first-come-first-serve practice.
I know everybody hates when there are rules to buying sneakers, but compared to some places that are re-selling these at $1,250, $180 is an absolute steal.

With his latest single “Location“ taking over the radio stations and everyone’s playlists, his warm, soulful sound and youthful sensibility gives him an advantage in 2017.

Slated as the face of Under Armour’s new tech-enabled pajamas, Tom Brady is bestowing specific rules for a good night’s sleep; one in which includes wearing “Athlete Recovery Sleepwear.”
The smart pajamas are claimed to “rebuild your body” while you sleep by transforming the body’s natural heat and turning it into energy that can actually reduce inflammation, promote relaxation, and increase blood flow.
According to Sports Illustrated, the idea for the pajamas came from Brady himself after he injured his calf in 2014. After an extensive two-and-a-half-year journey, the technologically advanced collection of shirts, joggers, and shorts is now accessible, priced between $160 and $200 per set.
