Island Classified

After his messy OnlyFans experiment, Taji Ameen heads to the Caribbean in search of redemption.

A mix of faith, controversy, and new beginnings as Island Classified x VICEWORLD returns!

On this episode, Taji Ameen steps into the goth scene as part of his ongoing journey of self-discovery after going independent. He visits Necromancy Cosmetics in San Juan for a full transformation by the incredibly talented Luanne Rós, who gives him a dramatic new look. Later, Taji heads to a goth party in Caguas, where the vibe is raw, theatrical, and deeply expressive. It's a glimpse into a subculture that values individuality over everything—and for Taji, it's another unexpected but meaningful stop on the path to figuring out who he’s becoming.

Taji Ameen is back in Puerto Rico—and this time, he's reinventing himself as a reggaeton hypeman. In a chaotic attempt to reboot his career and channel a new kind of energy, Taji dives headfirst into the world of Latin party culture, trading irony for volume. He links up with rising artist Wriiiki, hits the stage, and does everything he can to hype the crowd like his life depends on it. Along the way, he stops for a fresh cut at Sports Barber in Dorado, where the line between makeover and meltdown starts to blur. It’s loud, awkward, and just unhinged enough to work.

Taji Ameen takes a job working the land at Hacienda Jeanmarie Chocolat, a small cacao farm tucked into the hills of Puerto Rico. He’s not alone—joining him is Hunter Durham, a friend with his own bankruptcy backstory and no stranger to starting over. Together, they trade deadlines for dirt, figuring out how to ferment cacao while quietly confronting what it means to rebuild from scratch. The reset works—sort of. Eventually, the quiet gives way to momentum, and Taji finds himself back in New York, where a reunion with longtime friend and artist Coolr The Don brings the whole thing full circle. From financial collapse to farming to reconnection, this episode maps one of Taji’s strangest detours yet—and the unlikely path that got him there.
