Gracious K "Hands in the Air"

Hi Guys,

It has been a while since i have been on here due to some unexpected issues, but I'm back now and wanted to show you guys what I have been up to....

I am just planning to release my brand new video and single "Hands in the Air" set to come out within the next couple weeks, its a very exciting time for me as this is the first main visual anyone has seen of me since my last record the "Migraine Skank"

The song is designed as another club jumper with its infectious hip hop baseline and catchy chorus. Produced by the heavyweight production team "Jargon V.A" if all goes well i am onto a winner. Here is the behind the scenes for my video so please enjoy and repost.

Sheer Maxi Dress

Something I came across on my travels across the web and had mixed opinions about it really. I'm a fan of Maxi dresses if worn correctly they complement a women's figure really well, but if worn wrong just looks like your harbouring a big tent. So it was interesting to see this new style of Maxi that requires guts I say. the dress number one is see through and theres no hiding the not so kind body malfunctions you may have lol. This could be a great fashion trend i could immediately see some one daring like Rihanna or Amber Rose to spot this look and

Are you feeling it ??

Gracious K's 5 Top Fashion Tips for Men

Now lads we have gone way past the days where our female counterparts could look like a million pound and we look like a ten pound note. In this day an age style seems to be very important, with the increase in how much people take pride in their appearance. 

Personally I say look good and you will feel even better, not to mention that a man with a good sense of style can drive the ladies absolutely bonkers lol. Woman these days seem to look for the most stylish males and its becoming more evident. A good outfit gives the girls something to reflect on and also a focus point when discussing you with their friends... it turns into a conversation similar to, yeah he was hot and did you see his outfit etc, and makes for memorable first impressions.

Now I'm not no style guru or anything like that, but on my daily travels through London and the west end clubs I see some nonsense. Poor choice of colours, too many colours, wrong shoes  loads of things. So I thought I would give you my 5 tips on what can aid you in trying to find that right outfit.

1. Simplicity. Time and time again I see people who believe dressing over the top is the way forward, have you never heard the saying that less is more? a nice set of Nike blazers vans with some chino style trousers and a V neck t shirt or round neck does the job for everyday wear. Clubbing a nice tailored shirt some jeans/trousers some converse boots loads of things

2. Colours. Greens, yellow, orange, blue don't be afraid to experiment but understand that not all colours go, be careful you don't look like a rainbow and not the good kind. Match your colours well

3. Fit. Now when i say fit I mean Tailored to perfection, buy your size please. So many males wear suits or shirts to big for them or to tight for them if this is not done perfectly your in trouble.

4. Footwear. Fresh Footwear is always important, guys you may not realise this but ladies look at your feet first more or less that's where usually the outfit is based around. If you are wearing banged up Footwear guarantee some looks

5. Brands. Now I could write about Brands and the devaluation of them all day long but that's for another post, if your going to wear Brand names please please please realise that simple is best. The influx in Gucci and Louis Vuitton clothing that I have seen over the years has shocked me, Louis hat bag shirt trainers and belt. You may think your swagged out but seriously leave it alone. You want to wear it in a suitable elegant way that only people who are true lovers of the brand name can spot your clothing and to be honest girls don't like the whole bill board look

Juelz is one of my favourite rappers but this ain't a good look at all he even knows it he says in his track "Back to the crib" that he's left this look in the past

Uk Tattoo Wave

First word that comes to mind when you think of tattoos?? ... Creative, stupid, outlandish or maybe just damn right sexy!!!!!

Tattoos began back in 12,000 B.C the Egyptians started the whole tattoo art style and as their empire spread, so did the culture.

Recently, it would seem that the new thing to be is Tatted up ... the likes of american heavy weights such as Lil Wayne, Miss Che Mack and Wiz Khalifa have taken this tattoo game to a whole new level where the simple forearm tattoo on shoulder tatt has been over shadowed by the insane body art which consist of covering yourself head to toe. It seems this has become a new fashion wave these days, where 95% of people i bump into are covered in tattoos showing off their cool and unusual designs ... It's almost become a form of competition as to who can out do one another.

This art form that dates back to Egyptian times, has continued to recreate itself and has now found a home amongst the Uk urban scene. Uk Artists are now involved in the whole tatted up lifestyle with the likes of Chipmunk, Skepta, myself and many more well known figures inking up. Some one would say we are following fashion but I would say well speaking on my personal behalf,  that I simply am a fan of the creativeness and having the power to tell a story with out actually speaking.

I do feel as though some people are taking it way to far and are getting to the stage where their body work is no longer tasteful but hey each to their own i guess

I love tattoos and feel the more the better to be honest but it has to be done in a way that it remains art and you dont look like a rubbish poster ... below are some people who live by the notion Tatted up ... ENJOY

Colour Blocking

Recently i've seen a new Trend storm onto my computer screens and across my television ... It seems Colour Blocking has become fairly popular amongst celebrities these days. Colour Blocking is well just that ... its a technique that if pulled off, will have you oozing sex appeal that none other can match. An art form of dressing that focuses on clothing countering one another ( not your typical blue on blue ) yet still find a way to match

here are some Yays and nays to this art form

Ladies SnapBacking!!!!

Thanks to the the likes of Chris Brown and Tyga Tyga, it would seem that snapbacks are now the new craze amongst this generation. The cool collective 80s style swag that was presented to us by people such as NWA and Kriss Kross, seems to be the must have fashion accessary. We've seen how the fellas get down but have we ever taken the time out to wonder how ladies may fair .... Me for one being a fan of the trend i actually love this look and im all for it, its very trendy , current and i just love the colours.
