She starts off the list with a bang, showing that she’s the master of her angles with a single picture. She should be careful next to the water though.

Besides looking amazing, there’s something about the color coordination in this picture that is remarkable. Do you remember those doctor’s office posters from the 1990s? This evokes that picture of nostalgia, in part due to her retro-esque ensemble.

First, it was the 1990s inspired ensemble that got us hooked. Now, she gets us going with a 70s inspired photo pose and room decorative set. She gets it. She really gets it.

Red Lobster

What do you think the lobster was feeling as it sat there? Excitement to be where it’s at or apprehensive because it may be getting eaten after the picture gets taken?

Vans On Like Sneakers

She pulled off the checkered vans, flawlessly. That’s something that many people fail to do. She has some serious style to match her impressive looks.

Dilapidated Surroundings

Sharing them all because I love them that much ❤️

Is she inside of a building or outside of an enclosure? What exactly is she looking at? This picture invokes so many serious questions that need answers. But, it’s aesthetically pleasing so it gets a pass. Note the artistic nature of the photo, as well as her others.

Pulp Fiction Vibes

A post shared by Dalai Mama (@yaris_sanchez) on Jul 26, 2017 at 6:25pm PDT

This looks like the same lot from Pulp Fiction that Bruce Willis ran through in the infamous chase scene. Whether it’s the shoes, the look in her face, or her coat, it doesn’t matter: she kills it. Every time, in fact.

She might have just become our favorite Instagram user of the year.

Best of Instagram: @cree.ikuko

Cree Ikuko is a biracial beauty who’s racy photoshoots have taken Instagram and Tumblr by storm. Her art, always tasteful – she refrains from shooting nude – has an elegant quality about it, making each release of hers something that people look forward to like sports games. In addition to being a rising model, she also is a poet, songwriter, and recently, gotten into vlogging. She’s a multi-threat with a high probability for continued success, so checking out her Instagram account for our Best of Instagram series is a must. Check out our pics below.

Perfection, Unbridled

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bat57STB0rA/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

At first glance, this picture is nothing but a simple selfie that’s both stunning and mysterious. But taking a closer look shows the many working parts that make this one of our favorite pictures on Instagram so far. From the curly hair to the smug look on her face, the reveal of just enough cleavage to intrigue viewers, and the color contrasts of the shirt that make it one of the most interesting tops currently out on the market, Cree knows how to make a statement.

Beach Body

https://www.instagram.com/p/BafpFi4BHl7/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

When it comes to beach bodies, Cree might have the ultimate one. Her bathing suit is endlessly inviting, almost teasing us in what it hides. She knows that she fills it out to perfection – it’s up to us to refrain from salivating like hungry dogs.

Bathroom Stall Selfies

https://www.instagram.com/p/Baxf5J8Absf/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

Since when has a bathroom selfie ever made it into our best of Instagram list? Cree provides an exception: her careless pose borders on perfect. Between her casual face and the way her dress clings to her body like a bodysuit, nothing can go wrong with this picture.

Car selfies

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bajw5zYhUDi/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

It’s become a thing now that we can’t deny: Cree breaks all selfie rules with her careless, yet elegant photos. A casual car trip turns into an aesthetically pleasing visual memory that we’re glad to have come across on Instagram.

String Chronicles

https://www.instagram.com/p/BaE_hBMBa2k/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

String bathing suits are her thing and we’re glad to see that she has more than one. The turquoise color acts as a delicate contrast from her bronze skin that makes it all the more intriguing to view. The fact that most of her face is covered in shadow goes a long way in making this photo mysterious.

Killer Nurse

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ4q0KYhlgL/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

With Halloween right around the corner, it’s only right that she’d find a costume to scare people into a heart attack. This costume will cause a heart attack, but not out of fright.

Halloween Preparations

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZywGDBheL3/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

Out of both Halloween costumes, this one would be scarier. It’s almost the more inviting of the two, with cleavage that looks dangerously close to popping out. The red hair also helps the picture to look scary. Be on the lookout on Halloween to see her in this.

Cree Lannister

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZRtaNDBo9L/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

There’s a very Game Of Thrones feel to this post in particular. Although she’s sitting in a white armchair that’s the stark opposite of the foreboding Iron Throne in Westeros, the self-confidence evident in the post along with the pose invoke Cersei Lannister comparisons. We bet that Cree’s much nicer and more approachable than the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

Published

Virginia’s a state that sits on the East Coast of the United States but draws inspiration from the best of the country’s current Hip Hop trends. D.R.A.M.’s the latest artist to break out of the state, but there’s a ton of talent that sits ready to unveil itself in due time. The influence of Virginia legends Pharrell, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, and The Clipse is evident in the outlandish nature of many of its artists’ styles and has drawn a spotlight to the state as of late. Guessing who’s going to blow up next is anyone’s guess.

That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the biggest artists in the state. Whether they’re actually good or not is up to your discretion – they’ve captured the interests of people at a national level, so go figure. But if you’re not up to date on what’s happening in the Commonwealth State, take a gander at who’s who below.

Young Crazy

Back in 2013 when Crazy released “Get Dumb,” it quickly went viral because of its guttural look into life in Norfolk. Since then, Crazy has consistently released the type of music that his growing base of fans want to hear. He’s worked with legendary producer Timbaland as well as opened up for Young Thug at NSU, promoted to main act when Thugger never showed up. He also recently connected with 40 VAN for a performance in Texas.

He’s poised for a quick takeoff sooner than later. It’s important to know that his success didn’t happen overnight – he’s been about this for a while now. Take a listen to some of his music and become a fan.

Standouts: “Lessons” and “Painter Clique”

Treez Lowkey

When you think of atmospheric trap music in Virginia, Treez should be the first name you think of. He’s been on the scene for years, acting as a mysterious force that drops acclaimed projects that seem to come out of nowhere. He recently connected with the A$AP Mob and has become a member of A$AP Rocky’s AWGE collective. The future is bright for young Treez.

Standouts: “Watch” and “Not At All”

Masego

There aren’t many rappers nowadays that play live instruments on stage. A defining part of Masego’s persona is that he’s a master saxophone player – and it’s not an act. The release of his breakout hit “Girls That Dance” made him an overnight celebrity, serving as a culmination of years of hard work in the college circuit. Now, he amongst relocating to Los Angeles to perfect his sound, he’s been spotted with DJ Jazzy Jeff and J Cole.

Standouts: “Navajo” and “Send Yo Rita”

Levi Carter

Have you ever heard of “Galaxy Trap?” It’s a genre that Levi Carter has created and perfected. His artistry has gotten him a deal with Roc Nation and he continues to release music, albeit slowly. He’s a breath of fresh air in the rap scene, with hard-hitting bars that pave the way for some serious growth potential. We can’t wait to see where he goes.

Standouts: “You Not Gang” and “Dear Mama”

Katt Leya’s pretty mysterious for a rising model. Although you can easily come across pictures of her and videos of her dancing on the internet, finding out who exactly she is is a little harder. Here’s what we do know: she’s beautiful, voluptuous, and she likes anime. She also keeps it real on her Twitter account.

She’s also watches anime so if you’re into Dragonball Z, Hunter x Hunter, or One Punch Man, you may have a shot.

There’s one oddity about her: she eats fries with mayonnaise. So maybe she’s more off kilter than she lets on.

Regardless of her questionable food tastes, she’s someone that we can’t wait to see rise in the modeling and entertainment world. Her Instagram account features more of her pictures, giving more insight into who she is as a person. We decided to peruse through the account and gather some of the best posts four our latest Best of Instagram list.
