B Kool Media In New York City!

 #BKoolMediaInNYC

B Kool Media had the amazing opportunity to explore the city that never sleeps, New York, New York!

Following a 16-hour South African Airways flight, touchdown in NYC took place on the 27th of April 2017, B Kool Media immediately hit the road running, because well, what is sleep?!

From Manhattan, to Brooklyn, Times Square, The Bronx, Queens, Harlem and such…B Kool Media got to explore it all! New York City is truly the city that never sleeps! Not forgetting to mention the amazing shopping experience NYC offers, decisions decisions is the order of the day, everyday. The stores pretty much never close!

Sightseeing was amazing! The Brooklyn Bridge, New York Times, Google, The Meatpacking District, Chelsea Market, Apollo Theater, 106 & Park, Yankees Stadium, Madison Square Garden, Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center, 9/11 Memorial Site, Central Park, the list is endless…thanks to an awesome tour guide, Cliff Strome!

The city has a vibrant feel, the food is great, the people are welcoming and it’s very hard to get lost…the streets are pretty much self explanatory. Yellow taxi cabs are available at every corner and Ubers too. Getting from one point to the next is not a problem at all, besides, you can walk as well.

Imagine sitting on the red stairs in Times Square at 2am?! Well, B Kool Media did just that…after grabbing some McDonald’s close by. The awesome thing is how safe the city is, no need to grab on tight to your belongings all the time. Getting lost in the city and it’s beautiful, modern make is a feeling that can’t be described, you’ve got to experience it for yourself!

The architecture, flowers, streets, diverse people and hotdogs and pizza at every corner make New York City a place that must be on your bucket list, trust!

Nape Phasha On Life Since Vuzu Rich Kids

Nape Phasha Jnr
22
Political Sciences Graduate (University of Pretoria) / Currently studying towards a Law Degree (Wits University)

Where’s home for Nape?
Pretoria East.

Since Vuzu Rich Kids, what have you been up to, anything exciting?
Being on Vuzu Rich Kids was a great experience. For me, it was beyond just appearing on TV, but the opportunities that would come with the experience. Since doing the show, I have been mapping out my path in the industry. It’s very important to be true to myself and not try to emulate what everyone is doing, which is why I’ve spent some time crafting my next steps. I’ve also been focusing on my studies, which is very high on my priority list.

Has life changed for you in any way since being on a reality TV show, groupies maybe? Lol
Haha! I wouldn’t call it groupies, but being on the show came with a lot of attention. Everyone has just been supportive, so it’s all love, lol.

Favourite book to read?
The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli

It’s the month of love…Any special lady in your life? Any tips for the fellas on how to spoil their better half?
My advice to anyone would be to keep your person happy with the little things, before attempting to be romantic. The secret is in the art of keeping your lady happy on a daily basis.

Ultimate travel destination would be?
It would have to be New York and Barcelona, mainly because both destinations have a bit of everything, from the shopping, to the rich culture.

All-time favourite sneakers?
Yo, this is a tough one because they change weekly…but right now – Jordan 11 Bred and the Yeezy 750 Black.

What do you never leave the house without?
My cellphone.

What does family meant to you?
Family to me is everything; they are supportive and keep me grounded. I also happen to be very close to my mom, her love really knows no bounds.

Any future projects you just might wanna reveal?
I’m working on a lot of projects due this year. I think people will finally get to know the real Nape as I’ve made sure that I pursue projects that I’m passionate about. My first project is actually launching this month, while I’m also finalizing plans for a TV/fashion project which is due to drop later on in the year.
