In this interview, I talked to Venus Rose, a talented creative, and overall dope person. She owns Haus of Creators, a creative agency that helps artists and brands grow and fulfill their vision; they have done work for the likes of Bacardi, Def Jam, Interscope, A$AP Mob, OTF, XXL, and more. Haus of Creators has also been seen on Billboard, Rolling Stone, Complex, Teen Vogue, and Variety. We touched on A.I. Sector as well, a new venture of hers aiming to bridge the gap between creatives and technology. I spoke to her about the photography and interview work that she has done with A$AP Rocky (as well as A$AP Mob at large), Lil Durk & OTF via The Source Magazine; as well as the work that she has done for Luka Brazi/Karim Butler and Alexis Major of GUMBO Brands.

I asked her about herself: where she is from and is now, her influences, growing up around a military base, and more. We also dove into the projects that she has produced for Central Cee, Rico Nasty (including the story behind her iconic "Nasty" self-titled album cover), and Burna Boy (for I Told Them album and "Cheat on Me"). I also asked if she thinks AI will ever become sentient and take over humanity, and what she thinks technology will look like in 1,000 years, lol. I also asked her more about herself/ What are her inspirations, influences, and goals in her life and career? How does she express herself, and where does she want to be in 10 years? She also told me about what it's like being an entrepreneur/starting your own company plus why she started hers. I talked to her about her experience with mental illness and drugs. Venus shared wisdom about balancing an audience's perception with your vision. She also gave us her message to the youth and interpretation of life. Finally, I asked her the age-old question: Who would Win in a Fight, a Gorilla or a Grizzly Bear?

In this interview, I spoke to Worms (Casey), a fashion designer and longtime friend. He creates dope pieces from scratch from mostly upcycled materials and riveting graphic tees. We talked about his brand Year 3000, a venture he plans to expand into more than just a clothing brand. I also asked him if he thinks that aliens are real lol. As well as how he broke his hand and managed to still sew for 12 hours or more a day. Other topics we discussed were his experience with education, how it is being a fashion designer, balancing your vision with audience perception, where he gets his inspiration, what life means to him, how he expresses himself, and his message to the youth.

For this interview, I talked to cannabis heavy-hitter GUMBO Brands. GUMBO has been releasing several high-profile collaborations in the past few years. Namely, they have released Shot Off Gumbo (which was cosigned by Moneybagg Yo and YTB Fatt), as well as collabs with Lil Meech, N.O.R.E., Kodak Black, Gervonta Davis, Cookies, and more. They also hosted a pop-up show last year showcasing Jadakiss, Fatboy SSE, Mase, Sosa Geek, Peezy Te, Chinese Kitty, Lola Brooke, and more. I got to know the founders, Karim Butler and Alexis Major, more. As well as what the brand means to them.
