Music Monday- Black Prez

Last night I went to the Black Prez concert and it was sick! For those that don't know Black Prez is a rapper that is from Colorado, and he has been doing his thing for a while.

Check out some of Black Prez's music.

Here is a picture that I got after the Black Prez show was over.

Philosophy-Friday

In 1940's Dr.kenneth clark came up with an experiment, to prove that segregation/racism was bad for society. This video shows the actual experiment. This song is a perfect example of what the experiment was trying to avoid.It's a song by Immortal Technique, its off his newest mixtape The Martyr.

2012 Dee & Ricky X Pony

This year Dee & Ricky are making more shoes with Pony... YAY!! Back with extravagant colors that everyone will notice, these are the shoes that will be released later this year.

Music Monday-Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar did this song called "Rigamortis". This song has a smooth jazz background, and it is the best of both worlds if you like jazz and hip-hop.This song is off of his newest album Section 80. Enjoy

Crooks & Castles- Year of the Dragon

On January 20th Crooks & Castles is releasing a "Year of the Dragon" t-shirt that is being exclusively released at their flagship store in Honolulu, Hawaii.

G-SHOCK X LO.WER

On January 31st the New Zealand brand Lo.wer will be releasing a watch that they made with G-SHOCK.  Lo.wer based this design off of farmers in New Zealand because farming is a big part of their heritage. All G-SHOCKS are already super durable, so what could make them even better? Lo.wer made a leather case to go over the face of the watch that opens up with buttons that you could keep on or take off.

This watch is only being released to certain stores in New Zealand and Australia. 

Akomplice- Good People

I was looking at the Akomplice website, and I saw a t-shirt that had a gentleman's pipe with colored smoke coming out of it. There are 2 different graphics of the pipe, one of them has colored smoke and the other one is just normal grey smoke. They say that outside you can see yellow red and blue in the smoke, and indoors it is grey like normal. So these are the outdoor shirts and crewneck...

These are the indoor shirts and crewneck...

Ice Cream Skate Team Vol. 1

I just found this video on youtube of the Ice Cream Skate Team Vol. 1 and I used to watch this video almost every single day. I loved it, if you are a skater then you should definitely watch the whole thing. It is not just about skateboarding too, it shows the teams journey around the world skating everywhere.

This video was so AWESOME! Pharrell needs to make an Ice Cream Skate Team Vol. 2, I would love to see that.

Music Monday- 27 club

XV did a song called 27 club and it is really cool, and really crazy. The song is called "27 Club" and the reason why is because 27 is the age that a lot of celebrities where when they passed away. Kurt Cobain, Jimmi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27. This song is good, listen to it!

Billionaire Boys Club Varsity Jacket

I just saw these BBC varsity jackets, they are made of wool, and leather. The front has a big b that says Billionaire Boys Club in it with some diamonds. The back has nothing on it, so if you wanted to you could put your last name on it or anything you want.

The jackets are $650 and are all limited quantities, to purchase go to http://www.bbcicecream.com/shop/bbc-collegiate-varsity-jacket/

Bape "1st Camo Graduation"

A Bathing Ape recently released 2 new hoodie's. The hoodie's have the shark head on the front of  the hood, and what makes these hoodie's different from the other shark hoodie's is that these have a new version of Bape camo where other shark hoodie's had never had this certain kind Bape camo. The olive colored hoodie is only being sold in the NYC store, and the khaki colored hoodie is only being sold at the online Bape store.

These are limited so hurry up and get one!

Pharrell As Spongebob

My brother sent me this picture today and I thought it was pretty cool. It is supposed to be the Spongbob version of Pharrell Williams with a Louis Vuitton backpack, a N.E.R.D. belt buckle (which is his band), a Billionare Boys Club hat (which is his clothing line) and a bunch of Spongebob socks.

Snakeskin Is IN!!!

Lately I have seen a lot of Snakeskin on all kinds of different clothes, and I think it is definitely becoming more popular. Like the custom Python buckle back hat that was created by JBF is extremely popular, and is worn by Big Sean all the time.

JBF also made the "Jafar" Nike's that have Snakeskin on them.

UNDRCRWN also made a hat with Snakeskin on it recently.

The new Vans and In4mation collaboration on the Chukka low's that are soon to release have Snakeskin on them too.

They aren't new, but the Tiffany teal Supra's.

Jeremy Scott also came out with a pair of Snakeskin Adidas.

Last but not least the new Nike Air Force One's that are releasing for the Chinese New Year on January 14th called "Year Of The Dragon".

Music Monday- Phil Ade

My friend Anthony (Penniez) showed me this cat named Phil Ade and he is super dope. I never really listened to his music until his new mixtape came out called "Phil Ade Friday 2". I think my favorite song from this mixtape is "Crab Cake", and my friend Anthony's favorite song from it is "P.O.P" ft. Casey Veggies. Check it out.

In4mation x Vans "Rattles"

Don't Tread On Me! Vans just teamed up with In4mation to make the newest snakeskin sneaker on the market and lately snakeskin has been "IN" so this collaboration will probably be a great one. So check out the new Chukka low's called "Rattles" for the obvious reason that they are snakeskin.

These will be released on January 13th, and they are only making 200 pairs. The "Rattles" retail at 90 dollars, so I think that is an amazing deal for how limited they are. They will be sold at the In4mation store in Honolulu, Hawaii and they will also be sold at the online In4mation store http://www.in4mants.com/hi/main/.

"Mayan Prophecy"

romtheworld.com customized a pair of Nike dunks themed from the "Mayan Prophecy". They have more of a Mayan theme than a doomsday theme, I think that they are pretty sick.

They are only making 12 pairs AND THAT IS IT!!! They are only 300 dollars so if you like these hurry up and go to http://romtheworld.com/#/home and hope they have a pair for you.

"Jafar" Custom Nike Blazer

JBF customs just released pictures of his newest creation of a Nike Blazer that he made to look like what Jafar wore in the movie Aladdin. So there is red and black suede, with real snakeskin, and gold stitching on this shoe.

These are not an actual release, but if you would like them to be then tell JBF on his Twitter @JBFcustoms that you love them and couldn't possibly live another day without these incredibly dope shoes in your life! Go check out JBF's website too. http://jbfcustoms.com/

End Of The World

I just realized with all of my posts that I haven't wrote about one of my favorite rappers XV. But now I have a reason to talk about him, because yesterday XV released a song called "End Of The World". I think it has a good message, check it out to see if you get the message too. XV says "Get out of Facebook, and get some real friends. Get off Twitter to set some real trends".
