Notion Magazine 82 - Winter '18 Zurück Ausgabe

- Lil Miquela -
Lil Miquela headed out into the hyperreal Mad Max-esque landscape of Pismo Beach Sand Dunes, for an out of this world photo shoot with LA-based photography duo JUCO—there’s even a horse! We unpack the virtually unstoppable influence of our favourite AI and speak to Lil Miquela herself about her controversial origins, love, keeping it real and Paris Hilton.

- Yxng Bane -
From eBay searching for super villain masks to topping the Billboard chart with his rework of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You”, London-based Yxng Bane’s rise has been warp-speed. His singles—including the afro-tinged “Rihanna” and full-throttle “Vroom”—are certified genre-fusing chart anthems that have made the Disturbing London signee into a titan of British music.

- Ray BLK -
Brit R&B powerhouse Rita Ekwere—best known as South London artist Ray BLK—will tell you she’s a “regular degular girl” but as far as we’re concerned she’s a true queen.
Tara Joshi sat down with BLK to talk self-love, uplifting women and her empowered debut full-length project, Empress. With styling by Jamie-Maree Shipton and photography by Christina Ebenezer, witness the ascension of Britain’s R&B powerhouse in our Notion #82 cover feature.

- Rejjie Snow -
There’s a new sheriff in town and he’s whipping up a snow storm. Ireland’s premium export, Rejjie Snow, talks fucking with Italians, epiphanies and being a different breed of hip hop artist. Tasbeeh Herwees is in conversation with Snow as we take a deep dive into the inspiration behind his debut album, Dear Annie.

Snow saddled up and rode out into the Los Angeles desert with photographer Damien Maloney and stylist Ashley Guerzon for our Notion #82 cover feature.
