"I start everyday with a trip to the best coffee shop in L.A.: Cognoscenti Coffee. They always have jazz Nintendo music playing. So yeah."

"Beauty is important. As human beings, we need to spend time outside among other beautiful things. Take a walk to the top of the Culver City stairs, and sit in silence and serenity with the birds, the trees, and views of the city."

"EK Valley is my go-to spot for incredible Mexican cuisine that warms your soul and gives you the feeling of a home-cooked meal. Family-owned and operated, it is a must-try for any lover of Mexican food."

"If you’re looking for a good low-key vibe and an amazing drink, this is the place. The bartenders are the friendliest people in L.A. and play the sickest music. Very hometown feel."

"Alta Adams is fairly new in my life but has provided me with enough good times and beautiful dinners to make it onto a special list of places I hold dear to myself. You can’t live your life without a go-to soul food spot. If you're in the area, check it out."

"As a musician who started from the ground up in the neighborhood, I would go to this place to fix all my equipment that was always old and broken. It was great to have somewhere to support my career through the struggle."

"This is one of the Hollywood nightlife hotspots! My favorite party happens on Wednesday nights. It's called 'Saadiq.' My favorite DJ 'DJ Jadaboo' plays all '90s and 2000s R&B music. Good vibes!"

"This place is perfect for a quick lunch or chill Sunday brunch. You don't need a reservation: You can just pull up, find street parking, and be eating my favorite—the Thai chicken-and-waffles—in just a few minutes, which is my kinda spot!"

"This place is a Los Angeles fashion staple. They have a great mix of streetwear and high fashion from all over the world. I always leave with a new piece of clothing that I love."

"This is more of a traditional nightclub, so depending on the night of the week, that's the genre of music you'll hear the DJ playing. Friday nights are the hip-hop night, which is when you can find me in here having a nightcap with some friends or potentially even hosting and performing some of my hit songs!"
