Culture-shifting stories in one place.
From the legendary blocks of Harlem, Don Paul emerges with the kind of presence you can’t teach—the kind of presence you earn. His music embodies the grit of New York and the ambition of an artist walking firmly in his Life Path 8 energy: driven, disciplined, and destined for impact.
Blending razor-sharp lyricism with a boom bap authenticity that nods to the golden age, his sound channels the raw weight of street storytelling while carrying a polished edge uniquely his own. Fans often describe his delivery as a rare balance—gritty like Benny the Butcher yet effortlessly smooth in the pocket like Fabolous. It’s a style built on clarity, dominance, and intention.
Don Paul’s rise hasn’t been accidental—every step has been strategy and execution. His resume already reads like an artist with something to prove and everything to gain.
He’s opened for heavy hitters including Curren$y, Royce da 5’9”, and most recently 38 Spesh at the iconic SOB’s—moments that sharpened his hunger and amplified his visibility. In 2023, he joined Benny the Butcher on the Burden of the Plugs tour, a pivotal milestone that cemented him as a name capable of standing next to giants.
That’s Life Path 8 energy in motion: aligning with power, performing with power, becoming power.
Don Paul’s artistry expands beyond solo work. His collaborations with Grafh—especially on standout singles like “Always” and “Street Lights”—reveal a dynamic range and a commanding presence on any track.
Together, they move as part of Team Bang Dope Gang (TBDG), a collective of lyrical craftsmen including Don Paul, Grafh, Max Wayne, Banga, Dope Gang Porter, and Pxges. Their upcoming project, Family Ties, is shaping up to be a showcase of unity, strength, and creative force—everything Life Path 8 represents.
His self-titled EP is a bold declaration of who he is as an artist. The project is available across all major platforms and continues to attract a growing wave of listeners.
One of the most talked-about records, “Cut Different” featuring TBDG, has become a fan favorite—celebrated for delivering one of Don Paul’s sharpest, most commanding verses to date. It’s a record that hits with confidence and conviction.
This week’s release, “Tonight’s the Night,” proves Don Paul isn’t slowing down. The freestyle arrived with emphatic reception—critics praising the bars, fans replaying the lines, and the culture recognizing the consistency. It’s another reminder that Don Paul is operating exactly where he needs to be: ascending.
What makes Don Paul’s momentum different is the intention behind it. He’s not simply chasing success—he’s buildingtowards something larger, aligning with influence, structure, and long-term vision.
His dedication to craft and unwavering work ethic reflect the true frequency of Life Path 8:
the architect, the boss, the powerhouse shaping their own destiny.
As he continues creating, partnering, and developing his sound, fans can expect bigger stages, stronger releases, and undeniable growth. Don Paul isn’t just rising—he’s establishing a legacy.
From Harlem to the front lines of hip-hop’s evolution, Don Paul stands as a reminder that power paired with purpose creates impact that lasts. Keep your eyes on him—he’s just getting started.

In the heart of Brooklyn, a new kind of beauty sanctuary is rewriting what modern skincare looks and feels like. Wallah Skin, founded by licensed esthetician Veronica T. Noel and co-owned with visionary partner Donald E. Atwood Jr., has quickly become a destination for those seeking real results, luxury experiences, and state-of-the-art skincare technology. What began as a dream with just $3,800 in startup capital is now evolving into one of NYC’s most forward-thinking day spas — fueled by precision, passion, and a vision bigger than beauty itself.
At Wallah Skin, skincare is not just a service — it’s a journey. Clients step into a world of soft lilac tones, gold accents, gentle sparkle aesthetics, and a signature Wallah glow that feels both magical and intentional. The brand’s beloved Wallah Fairy symbolizes transformation, confidence, and the power of becoming your best self.
What truly sets Wallah Skin apart is its commitment to personalization. Every client receives advanced skin analysis using professional Zemits technology such as the VeraFace, OxiVelour, and Verstand HD Pro, allowing the team to study hydration levels, pore conditions, pigmentation, elasticity, and more. This isn’t guesswork — it’s customized skincare rooted in data.
From there, Wallah offers a menu of thoughtfully curated treatments designed to restore, brighten, and transform the skin. Their signature glow facials, advanced exfoliation systems, oxygen therapy experiences, and multi-session rejuvenation packages attract everyone from busy professionals to brides, creators, and teens looking to build healthy skincare habits.
But Wallah is more than a spa — it’s a movement.
The founders are expanding into corporate wellness partnerships, youth educational programs, specialized memberships, and a long-term plan to open a licensed esthetics school at their original location. Their mission is deeply community-centered: to make high-quality skincare accessible, confidence-boosting, and culturally aligned with the Brooklyn experience.
Clients rave about the luxury touches that make Wallah unforgettable — from the relaxing aromatherapy to the fairy-sparkle branding, curated playlists, and the ability to drop-ship professional-grade Skin Script products straight to their door. It’s clear: Wallah isn’t simply offering facials; they’re crafting confidence rituals.
And the results speak for themselves. Transformation photos, testimonials, and member journeys — like the highly coveted Fairy Glow Club and Goddess Ultimate Rejuvenation packages — showcase real improvements in texture, clarity, and radiance. Each service is backed by intention: luxury, glow, and Wallah.
With a second location planned within five years and a future school licensing program in development, Wallah Skin is positioning itself as a long-term force in beauty, wellness, and community empowerment. Their story is proof that with purpose, precision, and passion — transformation is inevitable.
As Veronica often says:
“Wallah is where your glow becomes your power.”
And Brooklyn agrees.
In a city built on motion, moments, and culture, there are creators who capture what others miss — the grit, the pulse, the emotion inside every frame. iPaveTV, the visual engineer rising out of NYC’s creative scene, is one of those rare artists who doesn’t just film: he builds worlds.
Known for transforming street stories, artist performances, and raw NYC energy into cinematic narratives, iPaveTV has become the go-to choice for creators who want their vision elevated. His signature style blends realism with high-definition intensity — crisp visuals, moody lighting, immersive pacing, and edits that move with intention. Whether capturing the depth of a drill performance or the soul of a late-night studio session, iPaveTV turns everyday moments into art.
His work with Brooklyn artist Dusty Locane — including the viral visual for “CANESWORLD” — reflects the iPave formula: authentic, atmospheric, and crafted to feel like a full experience, not just a video. Every shoot, every angle, every transition mirrors NYC’s raw truth — loud when it wants to be, silent when it needs to be, and always real.
But iPaveTV’s impact doesn’t stop at music.
As a visual engineer, he’s carved a lane inside the city’s creative culture by merging film, digital storytelling, and street aesthetics with a level of precision rarely seen in independent production. His portfolio spans across artists, influencers, brands, and cultural projects — each one stamped with the same commitment to excellence.
What makes iPaveTV different is the intentionality behind his lens. He captures presence. Emotion. Authenticity. Instead of forcing a look, he enhances a moment. Instead of applying trends, he builds visuals that last. In a world filled with quick edits and throwaway content, iPaveTV creates visuals people replay because they can feel them.
With an ever-growing list of collaborators and an expanding influence in NYC’s music and media scene, iPaveTV is stepping into a new era — one where his visual language becomes part of the culture itself. The demand is rising, the portfolio is evolving, and the artistry speaks louder than any promo ever could.
Elevating artists. Amplifying culture. Capturing NYC the way it really moves.
That’s iPaveTV — the visual engineer crafting tomorrow’s cinematic memories today.
