My good friend from back in the day, Dhru, runs a company called Shocking Goat and they make a really dope series of watches. All cards on the table, I don’t even rock watches, but every time I’ve showed friends or artists “The Fresh,” they love it. K.R.I.T. even rocked one at our Summer Jam:
If you’re interested in copping one or just want more info, hit up the site – http://www.shockinggoat.com
If you aren’t up on Maffew, he’s one of the nicest up and coming MC’s in the game and one of my favorites from NY right now. Plus, who doesn’t love #shoeporn?
The new Canon 7D camera apparently shoots incredible video. Peep this clip from aspiring filmmaker Brandon Moza walking around Vancouver, set to Radiohead’s “Go Slowly.”
It’ll cost you a pretty penny…emphasis on the pretty.
Wow. This is easily the coolest pool table I’ve ever seen. It’s a far cry from the one the homies and I used to rack every weekend at my friend Greg’s house. Ah…the memories.
Spotted on the BBC Blog.
Super fresh web promo for a new Adidas line, shot by one of Kanye’s favorite directors, Nabil Elderkin. Reminiscent of one of Nabil’s best videos:
The homey RTC and the Ruby Hornet fam put together this recap of the Sneaker Pimps even in Chicago last week. I highly recommend all the Seattle folks to come out to our stop on the tour on September 10th:
The Clipse + Slick Rick + some of our best local artists? Whooooooo. We’ll be interviewing the Clipse too, so if you have any questions for them, let me know.
Big shout to the new homies over at one of the illest clothing lines around, Acrylick, for sending over some of their gear this week. They really have a great knack for creating designs that are simple and refined, but still colorful and fresh. Plus, they’re some true hip-hop heads so you already know the messages are on point (i.e., peep the “Too Many Mics, Not Enough Emcees” shirt above…cosign). I’ll be rocking these heavy this fall, especially those windbreakers.
Make sure you check out their catalog and cop something. Just like we all need to support good musicians, we should be supporting dope independent artisans in other areas of society too. Shout to all the streetwear stores in the town as well, but again, huge thanks to Acrylick.
Seattle people: Come on out to GOODS tomorrow from 4-6 PM to meet the new homies Like, Mibbs, & BeYoung of Pac Div before they take the stage with the Roots at the Paramount. Big shout to all the folks at GOODS, Zune, Universal Motown, and Chrewd for making everything happen. Be on the lookout for our interview with Pac Div shortly…
Seeing as how my last post got someone riled up with my defense of Lupe, I thought this would be an appropriate follow up. The home girl KayCee has been helping run the big Lupe blog on the net for a minute now and they just recently changed URL’s. So not only is this post a reminder to hit their new site at TheLupeFiascoShow.com, but you can also head there now to read an interview with producer/clothing designer Le Messie. He talks about his production on The Cool, Lupe’s clothing lines, and even touches on the mysterious Japanese Cartoon project that’s in the works.
Peep it all right here.
