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 .

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?

Urban Insider Takes a Look Inside Hoopstar Deven’s World

By
One of the things I like most about choosing the people I work with, is that I come across the most amazing people with the best stories to tell. Recently I caught up with Mr.Deven Hubbard of Atlanta, GA, he is young and doing it all, if you follow him on IG like I do you can see he dominates the social world all the way to L.A.

You don’t have to take my word for it, when he tells his own story so well…… Q:Let's start with talking about where you are from for the people who just might be getting familiar with who you are.......... A: For the ones that don't know me as much, I'm from Atlanta, Ga. East Atlanta to be exact! People from my hood mostly just see me as the regular Deven before basketball and everything, some glorify me and also you have those individu...
