The word ‘cowboy’ is fraught with imagery boots, horses and ubiquitous white men roaming the Wild West.
The Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club, Black cowboys clad in Air Jordans riding up and down the streets of North Philadelphia, don’t quite fit that mold. They’re the real-life subjects of “Concrete Cowboy,” which aired on Netflix April 2.
“Concrete Cowboy” stars familiar faces like Idris Elba and Caleb McLaughlin of “Stranger Things,” but it also features real members of the riding club, a non-profit organization that aims to care for and ride horses in an urban area. It provides mentoring and training services to youth in the community.

Picture this: Lil Nas X, rapper and social media sensation, slides down a pole into a glamorous, hypersexual version of hell as Fox News pundits watch in horror.
That’s the power of his new single and music video, “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” which features the rapper twerking in Satan’s lap.
“MONTERO” itself is a poppy hip hop ode to a former love. It’s sweet, catchy and overtly gay, which is nearly unheard of in the hip hop scene. The music video, by contrast, subverts traditional Christian themes like the Garden of Eden and original sin with sensual, stylized imagery. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on March 26 and has been smashing records and drawing criticism ever since.
