Hip Hop Roots - On Jan 4, VH1 drops its film "The Breaks," about the hip-hop scene emerging in the 90s. Wilds plays Darryl “DeeVee” Van Putten JR, a hot, young music producer trying to make a name for himself in the industry. We're sure like everything else he does, he killed this role.

Mack Man - In 2013, Wilds decided to diversify his resume with music under the name Mack Wilds.

He can serenade us any day. (Photo: Sony Music Entertainment)

Black Lives Matter - Tristan is more than just a pretty face, which was evident last year in an episode of What’s at Stake about violence in our communities. Keeping it real, he told host Marc Lamont Hill about how resilient Black people have to be when living in a constant war zone and how one day your friend is here and the next day he can be gone. #Fact (Photo: BET)

Vote or Else - To encourage folks to vote in the 2008 Presidential election, Wilds joined Jessica Alba and Hayden Panettiere in the faux infomercial “The Muzzler” to deliver the point that to not vote means to be silenced. Who doesn’t love a man with a cause? (Photo: Declare Yourself via Youtube)
