Fort Worth has always been a city that knows how to tell a story. But when it comes to hip-hop, most artists stick to the same script—guns, drugs, street life. Turo Rose isn’t having it. The 817 native is carving out something different with what he calls “chill emo rap,” and honestly, it’s refreshing. While other artists chase clout with aggressive beats and tough-guy personas, Turo’s focusing on the stuff that actually matters—helping people work through their feelings and maybe having a good time while they’re at it. “I wanted my music to be different and have a new take,”…

She’s never owned a smartphone, never studied fashion design, and spent most of her career making clothes for less than $300 a month in Chinese garment factories. But at 78, Hua Ziyan has accomplished something that eludes most luxury brands: her hand-embroidered bags sell out in hours, with collectors treating them like art pieces rather than accessories. Hua Ziyan’s story reads like an unlikely fairy tale. Born in 1946 in a modest farming village in southern China, she learned to sew at nine out of necessity, not passion. By fifteen, she was working grueling 18-hour factory shifts, stitching uniforms and…

Globex Music has positioned itself as a solution that’s catching attention across the creative community, and their latest announcement suggests…

Magic, at its essence, exists in that fleeting moment when reality bends just enough to leave us questioning what we thought we knew. David Shao has mastered this space between certainty and doubt, but with an unexpected twist—he makes you laugh while he’s at it. The celebrated illusionist has turned the traditional magic show on its head, eschewing storytelling for a rapid-fire comedic approach that leaves audiences simultaneously mystified by his sleight of hand and doubled over with his deliberately absurd humor. At Hollywood’s prestigious Magic Castle—where wonder and impossibility are currency—Shao has established himself as a unique voice in…
