WOW THIS IS F*CKING UNBELIEVABLE, excuse my language but Jenna killed it! Shout outs to Jenna and DJ New Money for putting this Heartless Remix out there, it’s fire. I met Jenna a couple of months back during Marcus Troy’s NYC visit (see Jenna’s blog) and was exposed to Jenna’s music that same night and boy shorty got talent, and now the world can finally see. Listen to her lyrical gangster here. Read the rest of this entry »

with 2 comments

milkglass-led-light-4

This is a pretty cool mood light made to look like a full cup of milk for a gift. I wouldn’t mind having one of these lying around the bathroom or something. The Locomo Milk Glass LED Light design is made out of acrylic, which is very durable, and when knocked over or turned sideways, the bright LED automatically turns off (see video).

This Brooklyn Dodgers hat is from New Era’s Cooperstown 59FIFTY collection. The hat’s mustard yellow colorway is very fun with a blue top panel and a dash of red. So why rock a Brooklyn Dodgers cap? Well if you don’t know, your favorite rapper Jay-Z has a new track called “Brooklyn Go Hard” featuring Santogold and it references Brooklyn Dodgers.

Since I love the track so much, I thought I’d share that particular Brooklyn Dodgers reference for ya.

Brooklyn Go Hard by Jay-Z ft. Santogold

I Father, I Brooklyn Dodger them!
I Jack, I rob, I sin, Amen I’m Jackie Rob-in-son
Except when I run base, I dodge the pen. Read the rest of this entry »

Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair is a clothing line inspired by a shoe repair shop in London. The clothing line’s designers Astrid Olsson and Lee Cotter respected the old school craftsmanship of shoe repairing and brought the same workmanship to their clothing.

I love how they tricked out and made this long zipped sweater their own. The details and design aesthetics are crazy, peep it. Read the rest of this entry »
