Chicago Singer/Actor Rotimi Akinosho with an East Coast Swag had a minute to talk with Urban Insider

By
After a brief IM I finally got Rotimi to do this little chop session, Rotimi is his birthname from Nigeria which means""God stand by me". Rotimi is originally from New Jersey, but has since relocated to Chicago's very esteemed Northwestern University. Rotimi first got his start in the music industry at the World Famous Apollo Theater at the age of 15, an experience he says changed his life. He draws his musical inspiration from such artist as:Jamie Foxx, Lauryn Hill, Trey songz and T-pain for his creativity.


Rotimi on Collabos
"I've been fortunate to do a feature with Dawn Richard from Danity Knane/Dirty Money. But if i could pick one artist to collab with, it would have to be Drake or J.cole." The homie Rotimi is doing it big you see how he rolls. 


The Rundown on the Chi-town Music Scene

Rotimi puts it this way although the music scene in the Chi is small, the artist that they do have are very talented individuals. He actually just opened for one who is Willie Taylor of Day26.

Rotimi discusses other entertainment ventures


"I studied theatre while I attended Northwestern, so I would love to get into acting. I feel like it could become one of my passions. However I'm also a fan of all music so I would be open to any genre."You can check out all my Music Videos at www.youtube.com/rotimitv".That's wassup it doesn't hurt to have more than one talent under your belt.


Rotimi Describes his personal style





Or should I say his East Coast swagger as loving Levi Jeans, "and you'll always catch me in a Yankee fitted. I'm a East Coast boy so Timbs are a necessity".


Favorite Place to Hangout in Your City


My favorite place to party in the Chi would be my condo lol. Im a homebody, so i enjoy the company of my friends. Same here I like to go out now and then but you can catch me at the crib where it's warm...lol

By
       So this is the actual first time that you have formally sat down with us here at" UrbanInsider", we have had tons of conversations and work behind the scenes.

Spotlight On:The New It Girl Jessica Burciaga

By
She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO. It wasnt until recently when I actually found out who this stunning beauty is who looks like she could be Jennifer Lopez's little sister. Jessica Burciaga (born April 11, 1983) is an American model . Her father is Mexican and her mother is French and Irish . She was selected to be Playboy's February 2009 Playmate of the Month .   I think we are just starting to see the beginning of the beautiful Jessica, and that she has alot more in store......

Miami Turns It Up Another Notch — IG Boy Baddies: Then & Now (ft. Cloutio B)

By
IG BOY BADDIES — like Marcello Alvarez, Rico Hundo, Reek.Ivan, Deven Hubbard, Renzo Dinero, Don Benjamin a Chicago native who we worked with as well and a legit ton of others. From 2019’s Model Peak to a 2025 feed that feels anything but the same. In 2025, only a few still hit at model level — Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. Where have all our quality male baddies gone? UrbanInsiderMag: You came up inside that wave—2019’s model-grade Boy-Baddie peak to today’s crowded feed. In 2025, only a few still truly hit: Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. How does that land with you? Cloutio: It tracks. I started when IG felt scarce and intentional. Now the volume is higher, but there are still guys who keep it special. Ethan and ONE_RALPH have the discipline and the eye—that’s the bar. UrbanInsiderMag: Where have all our quality male baddies gone? Cloutio: A lot of people are posting; fewer are building. Quality takes intention—light, training, taste, pacing. The look didn’t disappear; the commitment...
