Male models... are even sexier in person. Dominican model Miguel Perdomo is the new wave of male models. He wants to be “the first Dominican male supermodel.” This Washington Heights native accidently entered the modeling world but once in it he loved every single minute of it. Landing the leading role in Chrisette Michele’s “I’m A Star” video has propelled him to sets his sight on acting as well.
After landing his first campaign, he became focused and decided to make modeling his career. Landing a COOGI Jeans campaign for their spring and fall collection was his first major task. AZZURE' Denim followed which gave Miguel an opportunity to be a familiar face in the pages of magazines and billboards. "It was a surreal feeling when people would see me on the train and stare at the posters then stare at me and ask, is that you?," jokes Miguel. “I am forever thankful to Azzure’ for that exposure.”
Miguel also gained the opportunity to become a SEAN JOHN model. “That was a great opportunity and I had fun working for Sean John.”
When he’s not working Miguel spends time giving back to his community. He is an active member in his new community after moving from Washington Heights, Patterson, NJ, where he donates his voice and athletic skills to some of the youth at the local YMCA. Miguel also takes part in helping out his homeland, the Dominican Republic.
Check Miguel Perdomo out on a billboard, magazine page or music video near you.

When I got a call in the middle of a long day for an interview in the heart of the city with the guys who make up the production trio known as The Stereotypes, it was a no brainer since Parlé is all about spotlighting the biggest names in the industry no matter what side of the business they represent. My photographer and I met them at their hotel for drinks later that night, so even though I knew a lot of background information on them, I had never seen a picture of them. I’ve seen it all but I didn't necessarily expect to be meeting up with the oddest combination of talent since The Black Eyed Peas, because The Stereotypes are comprised of an Asian (Jon Yip aka JonStreet), one Black (Ray Romulus aka RayRo), one White (Jeremy Reeves aka JermBeats). It didn't take me long to figure out why they call themselves The Stereotypes.

Editor's Note: A few weeks back I received an email from a man named Jaime A. Davidson explaining that he was of the original founders of the Reggaeton movement and that his story, which begins about twenty years ago, is one that requires immediate attention. Davidson is currently behind bars serving three life sentences for the shooting death of a police officer which he says he can prove and has proved that he is being framed for. I'm in no position to act as a judge of this case, so I decided to give Jaime an opportunity to tell his story. Over a phone interview he explained to my writer how this all started in Brooklyn in the late 80's. My intention was to give a direct transcript of the interview but due to a bad connection the story had to be translated by my writer. Below you'll find the story, of Jaime A. Davidson Sr., read carefully.

Spotlight Feature
Sometimes, it must fall upon the journalist to ensure that what they are hearing in an interview is clear enough that they can truthfully and accurately present their subject's words as quotations. This may require asking for an answer repeatedly, admitting you missed something that could have been important, or actively picking and choosing which quotes should be completely captured in a form of verbal triage. Other times, it may simply require asking the subject to slow down because your cell phone's speaker is woefully inadequate. Such was the case with Kirko Bangz, and regrettably, I did not follow the advice laid out above. The following is what I can transcribe from my conversation with the Houston hopeful, whose Drake on promethazine approach has been reverberating within the scene.
