In this issue, we have K.Keed as our cover star. K.Keed represents counterculture, and she has always created music that goes against the grain. Right from her mixtape, ALTER-EGO, which was a grungy, dark interpretation of trap, to her debut album, Bite the Bullet, an introspective album about anxiety, imposter syndrome and finding yourself as a young person. This makes her ambassadorship with Vans the perfect fit because Vans has always represented counterculture and youth movements from around the world. The cover story explores their partnership and the philosophy they both follow, as a brand and as an artist, respectively.
