Actor and rapper Jaden Smith is partnering with Samsung for a good cause. For the third iteration of their sustainable collection initiative, Samsung and Jaden have teamed up for a collection of limited-edition mobile accessories collection to celebrate Earth Day.

In Jaden and Samsung’s collection are an array of environmentally conscious cases for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip4, and Galaxy Buds2 Pro. The collection also features eco-friendly watch bands for Galaxy Watch5.

The Samsung Galaxy x MSFTSrep Eco-conscious Accessories Collection comes as part of Jaden’s MSFTSrep fashion and art brand. The designs draw inspiration from the interconnections of humankind, and the accessories are made with renewable resources and ethically sourced material.

According to Jaden, the arrival of the new accessories could not be more timely, as more consumers are becoming more conscious of their habits and their purchases.

“I think the public shift towards sustainability is amazing because people are waking up and realizing what we actually have to do to change the world,” said Jaden in a statement. “We have to change the way that we produce and the way that we consume, and everyone is waking up.”

Experience A Day In The Life Of Wale As He Tunes Out And Zones In

A few months ago, Wale revealed that he’s readying a sequel to his beloved 2012 mixtape Folarin, titled Folarin 2. Even more good news is that it appears he’s in the home stretch of working on something that may or may not be that project: In a new “Good Listeners” video (presented by Uproxx and Samsung), Wale takes viewers behind the scenes of his life for a day, which includes a studio session where he’s putting the finishing touches on new material.

The rapper’s day starts with a photoshoot trying out some different looks, including some shots with his headphones (the Galaxy Buds2, specifically). He says with a smile, “They told me I could listen to what I want to listen to for a couple shots, so I’m going to listen to myself.” Additionally, he noted the headphones offered an assist with multi-tasking, making it easier for Wale to take some phone calls and review songs in progress during moments of downtime.

Speaking of fresh music, Wale later wraps his day up by heading to the studio to listen to some mixes of new material. As he notes, this is another scenario in which having headphones around comes in handy, saying, “I learned from somebody a long time ago about… you can do the studio mixes, they always feel good, everything is right, you’re used to the room. But sometimes you got to step off and listen to the mixes on headphones, off a computer, phone, and just see how I feel. That’s a little bit of the overthinking that I do, but it works for me.”

All in all, the clip is an interesting peek behind the curtain of what it’s like being one of the (justifiably self-proclaimed) greatest rappers of all time, so check it out above.
