Beyonce New Adidas Gear Is #OutNow

 

Beyoncé's second Ivy Park x Adidas apparel collection is dropping online Thursday, a day ahead of its release in stores.

The athleisure line, dubbed "The Drip 2 Collection," comes nine months after the first installment of Beyoncé's Ivy Park x Adidas gear, which sold out almost instantly when it dropped at the start of the year.

Online sales were set to begin at 4pm ET on the Adidas Ivy Park website. Prices range from about $25 for accessories and up $200 for apparel.

The collaboration is a continuation of Adidas' (ADDDF) strategy of leveraging non-athlete influencers to work as "creative partners" for limited capsule collections of its athletic wear. Scarcity and celebrity have proven a winning combination for Adidas' high-profile collaboration with Kanye West's Yeezy label.

TWUM Artist Picks Of 2018

Artists Of The Year

There are many artist posting and submitting their music to TWUM on a daily basis's. There are a few who stood out in the crowd of musicians by showing hard work and dedication. The Wrap-Up Magazine would like to take this moment to give these artist a little support in furthering their music career.

We encourage all to take the time to follow these artist and listen to some of their music below.

What Happened to Lorde?

 

Lorde, whose real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, was groomed to be a star. After a recruiter saw footage of her singing at a middle school talent show, she was signed to a developmental contract and began working on her craft. She placed a heavy focus on lyrics and drew influence and inspiration from her mother, who is a poet.

Following the 2013 success of her internationally-renowned breakout hit “Royals,” New Zealand singer Lorde became one of the youngest artists ever to receive a Grammy—at age 17. While the artist may have soured on her own smash hit (likening it to a ringtone from a “2006 Nokia”), she went on to have remarkable success with the song. 

Ana Baby - "Ride" @TheRealAnaBaby

With her talent, beauty, and charisma, Ana Baby is undisputedly one of the most promising and highly sought after artists in 2018. Being in a male-dominated industry is a non-factor, and will not impede on Ana Baby’s ability to distinguish herself from the rest in an era where female rappers are spreading their word.

Lady Gaga Sued

Steve Rosen claims Lady Gaga stole a three-note progression from his 2012 song “Almost.” Through his lawyer, he has filed suit for copyright infringement and damages in the “millions and millions” of dollars.

Lady Gaga’s song “Shallow” earned the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter her first Academy Award. The song, featured in the 2018 film A Star Is Born, is now the subject of a multi-million-dollar lawsuit.

This suit comes as the latest in a string of music copyright lawsuits, beginning with the “Blurred Lines” case, Katy Perry over her song “Dark Horse” and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court Of Appeals’ calling for a new trial over the claim against Led Zepplin.

One of the key elements in these cases is the question of the artists having access to the previous work. Another question arising from these cases concerns the protect-ability of simple chord progressions.
