[THE MAIN EVENT]
Here are some terms and factoids you should know before seeing the new MACRO film that has Rotten Tomatoes on smash!
Air Jordan Bred 1s: A dusty pair of retro Js hanging from telephone wiring is valued at over $2,000 in the film. We looked up a similar pair on StockX—to our surprise, the girls could’ve covered a year of rent payments (and then some!) based on the price point.
Beef well done: There’s a brawl between three characters that kinda reminds us of this! We’re not saying who caught the fade but it wasn’t Big Booty Bernice.

[THE ENDORSEMENT]
India is one of the fastest-growing music markets in the world. If we only talk about streaming, it's literally the fastest year-over-year in growth. So it's a very exciting time. India has been historically dominated by Bollywood [but] non-film music has boomed in the last five to seven years. Of course, much of that credit goes to the growth of streaming platforms—Spotify, in particular.
​
India has so many languages and cultures within one country, which is very different from 90% of the world. So everybody—whatever language they speak—has an opportunity to find their own niche audience. That's the most beautiful part about the music market in India. It's also challenging. There are so many people in the country; it's so densely populated. And now anybody who can use software, sing a little bit, or rap a little bit, can become an artist.
