Speaking with Bell's fiancée, as well as the two men who survived a hail of 50 bullets by cops, The Ave weighs in on the issue of police brutality and its effects on the community.

Other notable profiles include actor Idris Elba, who discusses his transition from a television star on HBO's The Wire, to being one of Hollywood's new leading men. Similarly, Three 6 Mafia reflects on how their lives have changed since winning an Oscar.
