Here at PeopleStyle, we’re obsessed with hot dudes wearing bow ties (I mean, who isn’t?) And we love Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s bow tie company, Tie the Knot’s, awesome pop culture mash-ups. So when he combined the two with his new guest designer, we were all in. Hunger Games star, Josh Hutcherson was tapped by the brand to create his very own (very Captial-esque) piece that benefits a good cause. We caught up with the star before he headed to a Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 event to see the tie up close and personal.

The Tie Bar

As part of their new 15-piece limited-edition collection, Tie the Knot recruited the actor to design a piece in support of his organization, Straight But Not Narrow (which helps establish positive perception of and behavior towards LGBTQ peers). Hutcherson’s piece comes in a solid back pebbled texture with a faint neon lime stripe (and its sleek leather-vibe looks like it could be straight from the Hunger Games set).

“My work with Straight But Not Narrow has always been about allowing people to be whoever they are,” Hutcherson said in a press release. “It’s okay to be yourself and you should actively support others to do the same. We created our bow tie with Tie the Knot to help raise awareness and funds to keep our efforts moving forward. Rocking this tie means you are letting people around you know that you support them and their pursuit to become the best person they can be.”

The rest of the collection focuses on Old Hollywood glamour, with a variety of plaid, floral, striped and art deco-inspired prints. Each piece retails for $25, and $20 of every purchase will be donated to Tie The Knot, which fights for LGBTQ marriage equality. We want to know what you think!

In the vast cosmos of hip-hop, a new constellation is rising, and it goes by the name of G.T.B Kartel. This group isn’t just another flash in the pan; they are the modern torchbearers of an age-old tradition that celebrates unity, family, and the collective power of collaboration. Their latest single, “Lil Baby,” is not just a track, it’s an anthem, a signal flare announcing the arrival of a duo that is here to redefine the genre’s landscape.

G.T.B Kartel, an acronym for Get To The Bread Kartel, isn’t just a name—it’s a mission statement. In the lineage of great hip-hop collectives like Wu-Tang Clan and Outkast, G.T.B Kartel reminds us that hip-hop is a space where brotherhood thrives and where the sum truly is greater than its parts. In a world that often glorifies solo success, G.T.B Kartel stands out by putting their bond and their music front and center.

Their single “Lil Baby“ is a masterclass in contemporary hip-hop craftsmanship. From the very first whistle, the track grabs your attention and refuses to let go. The production is sharp, each beat and snare meticulously placed to create a rhythm that’s not only addictive but also innovative. The bars are confident, delivered with the kind of swagger that can only come from artists at the peak of their creative powers.

But “Lil Baby” is more than just a catchy tune—it’s the entrance to G.T.B Kartel’s universe, a realm where each note and lyric is carefully considered to create an experience that doesn’t just resonate, but also inspires. It’s a world where the beat doesn’t fade when the song ends; it echoes, lingering in the air like the promise of more to come.

As we look ahead to the future of hip-hop, it’s clear that G.T.B Kartel is not only part of the conversation but also driving it forward. They don’t just fit into the genre; they’re busy carving out their own space within it. “Lil Baby” is your invitation to join them on this journey—a journey where getting to the bread is about more than financial gain; it’s about crafting a legacy that will feed the soul of hip-hop for generations to come.

Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.

The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.

The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.

“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.

He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”

Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.

War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.

Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.
