Less than two percent of college athletes make it to the pros. It’s a tough pill to swallow for players who dedicate their entire lives to sport, only to pivot to an entirely different career out of necessity. “I was in denial for a while,” Lev Rosenbush tells Hypeart.Born in Brooklyn and currently based in London, Rosenbush had aspirations to follow in the footsteps of famed American keeper Tim Howard, having attended Ohio’s Kenyon college, only to fall short to ascend to the next level. “It was frustrating because I trained so hard and got to a position where I felt like I was playing at a high level and things just didn’t align at my school.”Thankfully for Rosenbush, blocking shots wasn’t his only calling in life. In hindsight, the self-described “designer and storyteller” found solace ...

The Dare Suits Up for His Moment in the Spotlight
The Dare has been DJing for almost 30 hours in a loft in New York City's Chinatown. This Herculean effort behind the decks is a test of endurance and a celebration of his debut album, What’s Wrong with New York? and is being live-streamed as a performance art piece he’s dubbed a “durational installation.” Aside from his broadcasted DJ set, the space is filled with Easter eggs for his fans to spot, including the outfits from The Sex EP’s controversial cover art, a messy bed on the floor with a disco ball hanging over and his instantly recognizable black suit hung up on display. Harrison Patrick Smith hard launched his The Dare persona two years ago after leaving his former band Turtlenecked and quickly became a staple of the downtown scene with his first raunchy single “Girls.” The song is ...

550BC: The Crime Chronicler
This article originally appeared in 'Hypebeast Magazine Issue 33: The Systems Issue.'Pouria Khojastepay, founder of the Amsterdam-based publishing house 550BC, chronicles those on the periphery: Tehran’s underground crime syndicate, favela drug lords and their proclivity for flaunting exotic animals, and the Ultras that orbit Europe's football stadiums.
