A$AP Rocky is one of hip-hop's younger talents to prove that he's worthy of longevity in a cut-throat business like the music industry. And with casual hip-hop fans being extremely fickle, it's not a coincidence as to why he still remains a relevant figure in the hip-hop realm. First coming on to the scene with his 2011 mixtape, Love. Live. A$AP., he instantly was able to gain a youthful following that has stuck with him through thick and thin.
During the initial stage of his hip-hop career, A$AP Rocky and the A$AP Mob were a troublesome group that couldn't be controlled but these days, the multifaceted group have found their individual lanes including Rocky who's become an influencer in the fashion realm. Rocky still has a lot to prove in his career and the culture is waiting to see what he has in store next.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
