How Chris Brown & DJ Khaled Got Custom Gold from STLGrillzz

How Chris Brown & DJ Khaled Got Custom Gold from STLGrillzz

Grillz are a popular status symbol representing wealth and symbolizing power has been seen on everyone from Beyonce to Miley Cyrus, Kanye West or Chris Brown. Everybody has been seen wearing gold teeth from Hollywood red carpets, music videos, awards shows and even the Olympics!

Here’s a crazy fact I bet you didn’t know. Deep, deep underwater on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico archaeologists found the remains of ancient Mayans and with their skulls were GRILLZ! So they’ve been around for a really long time.

Fast forward a couple of centuries, the US saw immigrants from the African diaspora with gold fillings— believe it or not, gold is actually the cheapest material to use to for their cavities. Crazy right?! Anyway, by the 80’s the style was co-opted and transformed a symbol of poverty to a symbol of power.

By 1996, gold teeth had been embedded in urban American culture when a Vietnamese jeweler by the name of Johnny Dang changed the game. He started adding fancy jewels like diamonds and using raw materials like platinum that took hip-hop by storm!

Grillz are still a style staple and everyone from the hustler on the street to the career woman going on an international vacation with her girls can be seen wearing the trend.

Meet Syeed, owner of STL Grillzz in St. Louis, MO

How Raheem DeVaughn Reigns Supreme in R&B

How Raheem DeVaughn Reigns Supreme in R&B

In an industry that moves so quickly it's amazing when a recording artist releases a sophomore album. Raheem DeVaughn marks studio album no. 6 with "Decade of a Love King."

Raheem DeVaughn, born in New Jersey but raised in the D.C. area, has crafted a sound and vibe all his own that has proved the test of time. The crooner is heavily influenced by Soul music of yesterday, but obviously in tune with the contemporary sound. He proves this dexterity in current no. 1 single "Don't Come Easy."

When you listen to Raheem DeVaughn you can't help but notice the Marvin Gaye-esq quality to his silky smooth falsetto, and feel the grit of his growls and Gospel runs. DeVaughn is one artist who has truly studied his craft and his endurance is proof posiitve.

In addition to releasing new music both as a solo artist and one half of the Hip-Hop Soul group The Crossrhodes featuring Wes Felton, Raheem DeVaughn has also positioned himself as a figurehead for women's rights and empowerment. Songs like "Woman" and "Queen" are anthems at rally's from the National Mall to Soweto, South Africa. His nonprofit Love Life Foundation has been helping displaced and abused women, hungry and homeless children and even helped to send scholars to college in only four years ago!

More than 10 years after hit debut single "Guess Who Loves You More," The Love King of R&B Raheem DeVaughn is still vying for his rightful place as R&B royalty.
