OCTOBER FEST OF VIBES 🔥🎃
JR Tallents Presents: Soundwalk NYC Magazine Volume 2
October was more than a month. It was a MOVEMENT! 🗽🔥
From the streets of NYC to the fashion runways, music stages, and creative spaces, JR Tallents and Soundwalk NYC continued building a platform where fashion, music, culture, entrepreneurship, and opportunity collide.
This month’s magazine celebrates the DREAMERS, CREATORS, and VISIONARIES who refuse to let their circumstances define their futures.
👑 Queen Grace & Lakozo Empire — A celebration of motherhood, music, family, faith, and entrepreneurship. Building a legacy while reminding us that dreams are expensive, but determination is priceless.
🎤 Playboy Payso — From street roots to polished sound, Payso continues evolving as an artist, embracing independence, creative growth, and meaningful industry relationships.
🧵 Stitched Emotions — Straight out of Queens and onto the international runway in Dubai! A fashion brand proving that creativity has no boundaries and consistency turns vision into reality.
💎 Vic Imperious & Alota Note$ Garmentry — Model, designer, entrepreneur, and artist manager. One man, many talents, one mission. Turning adversity into opportunity while building an empire through fashion and entertainment.
📸 Nanie the Model — Bold, fearless, and unapologetically creative. Her journey represents resilience, individuality, and the next generation of NYC modeling talent.
🌸 Kahliyah Thomas — South Jersey’s rising creative reminds us that confidence is a journey, beauty is more than appearance, and believing in yourself is where greatness begins.
🎙️ Chula AKA The Forbidden Kryptonite — Mother, model, host, and unstoppable creative force. From overcoming personal challenges to commanding the microphone, she’s showing the world what resilience looks like.
🎤 ELI THE ARTIST — FROM RAP KING TO A NEW BEGINNING
Harlem’s own Eli the Artist, formerly known as Eli the Rap King, represents the evolution of an artist discovering his purpose beyond music.
As he prepares to close the Rap King chapter with a final album, Eli reflects on faith, mental health, family, personal struggles, and the importance of protecting what you create.
His journey reminds us that success isn’t just about wearing the crown. It’s about carrying its weight, embracing personal growth, and finding meaning in every experience.
The message: Your past may shape your story, but it doesn’t have to determine your destination.
🎬 CHOW LEE — THE STREETS OF NYC
Brooklyn artist Chow Lee is taking his creative vision beyond the microphone and into film direction.
Through The Streets of NYC, Chow Lee brings together personalities, performers, and independent creatives to tell stories rooted in the city’s authentic culture.
From performing at Barclays Center to developing projects behind the camera, his evolution highlights the importance of observation, collaboration, and patience.
His philosophy is simple: “Always observe people first.”
Brooklyn supplies the rhythm. Chow Lee brings the vision.
💖 LAROSALYN WILLIAMS — NYC ON THE RISE
Bold, beautiful, ambitious, and unapologetically herself, LaRosalyn Williams represents the strength of a woman determined to make her presence felt.
Her journey hasn’t been without criticism, challenges, or personal reflection. Instead of allowing those experiences to discourage her, she has learned to evaluate her growth, strengthen her confidence, and approach opportunities with greater preparation.
From modeling to entrepreneurship, LaRosalyn understands that opportunity alone isn’t enough. Success requires discipline, readiness, and the courage to keep showing up.
Same woman. Bigger chapters.
👑 THE MALCOLM STAPLES FASHION SHOW — THE RUNWAY EXPERIENCE
October brought another exciting chapter of fashion coverage as JR Tallents captured the Malcolm Staples Fashion Show.
From dramatic couture silhouettes and elegant eveningwear to powerful runway presentations, the event represented fashion as both artistic expression and cultural storytelling.
Models commanded the runway with confidence while designers showcased individuality through striking colors, dramatic fabrics, and creative styling.
Through the lens of JR Tallents, the runway became more than a fashion presentation. It became a visual celebration of creativity, identity, and ambition.

🔴 WOMEN RUN NYC — REAL TALENT. REAL STORIES. REAL CULTURE.
One of Volume 2’s strongest themes is the growing influence of women throughout New York City’s independent creative community.
From performers and models to fashion designers, entrepreneurs, mothers, and entertainment personalities, these women are creating their own opportunities and demanding recognition on their own terms.
The Women Run NYC feature celebrates their confidence, creative independence, individuality, and determination.
These women aren’t simply participating in the culture. They’re helping shape its future.
Women Run NYC. And they’re just getting started.
THE BIGGER PICTURE?
Every feature tells a different story, but they all share the same message: Growth requires courage. Success requires consistency. And dreams require ACTION.
Soundwalk NYC isn’t just documenting the culture. We’re creating opportunities, connecting communities, celebrating independent talent, and building a legacy one artist, one model, one designer, and one story at a time.
This is bigger than a magazine. This is a creative family. This is NYC culture. This is SOUNDWALK! 🗽💜🧡
