Def Sound - Spaz (Produced By RC) from Def Sound on Vimeo.


Def hipped me to this via Twitter yesterday and I told him it would be up today...for some reason I forgot to post earlier and then I had to take a mid-day meeting and got sidetracked. Anyways here is a video for his song Spaz...he said it was done by a fan and whoever did it, I'm digging your work. Check this out and spread around to your friends. LA's creativity and talent is steadily brewing.


MERCURY x PERFECTO - INTERVIEW pt 1 & 2

Posted by mr. la at 6:19 PM 0 comments



My boy Perfecto of Inglewood lets Mercury pick his brain on the hip hop scene and urban community as a whole and how it relates. If you know Perfecto you know he's all about the community and the next generation. He also runs Regal Tenant on Pico. The shop is right across the street from Roscoes and has some of the dopest hip hop and streetwear tees. You can also find physical copies of all your favorite mixtapes and "street albums" such as So Far Gone, A Love Supreme, Church League Champions and more. Pretty much all the tapes down the side of my blog. Get familiar...and if you didn't know, Eazee Street and Regal Tenant will be hosting an in store with Nipsey Hu$$le and the FCC in the coming weeks. Get ready.

Posted by mr. la at 5:45 PM 0 comments

Mack 10 is the pick for today...as one of the first emcees in the hip hop game to really rep Inglewood it's only right that one of the pioneers of the next wave of Inglewood emcees picks this video. Thurz will be repping Inglewood with his brother in rhyme Y-O as UNI rocks the Roxy 2nite. Should be a dope show so be there...

TIMBERLAND/SAKS FIFTH AVE - HAND SEWN BOAT SHOES

Posted by mr. la at 4:23 PM 0 comments
If you really were around for the Polo, Nautica and Eddie Bauer era then you know about these kicks right here too. The Timberland boat shoes were just as popular to accent the outfit as the Polo Sport or Eddie Bauer deck shoes. Well Saks Fifth Ave is carrying these and as you can see there are colors to match up with everything. They will drop on Fashion's Night Out and Timberland will also have a special pop-up store. They will also be available on September 12th...so if you want these you better figure out how to get to them now.

THURZDAY (OF UNI) - HOLY THURZDAY

Posted by mr. la at 12:15 PM 0 comments
So I do a flyer for UNI, tell all my folks to come out tonight and countless other things for this bum Thurzday and he can't even send me this track to post...I had to find out about via Meka. I think Thurzday will be referred to as Wednesday again for a week or so after today. He did a good job on this track so I'll post it anyways...he better have my drinks ready tonight man, haha. I need a word with managment. Throwback Thurzday coming later...get ready!!!


NIKE BLAZER AC HIGHT LE RED VELCRO & BLAZER LO ND LUCKY GREEN

Posted by mr. la at 11:58 AM 0 comments


Supposedly we won't see these until 2010 but I must say they are very intriguing options. I'm not big on velcro straps as the only means to "fit" a sneaker but these are an eye catcher. I don't like Blazer Lo's but the mesh and terry cloth materials seem like they will make it a very comfortable shoe. Guess when these drop I'll have to get a closer look.

POWERPLAYED x BISHOP LAMONT

Posted by mr. la at 11:30 AM 0 comments

Streets is watching (or listening) and my folks at PowerPlayed hit me with a video featuring one of our hometown emcees. Check out this video as they catch up with none other than Bishop Lamont aka Dr. Dre's Protege. I still bump that Grow Up track. More folks need to take a listen to Bishop. Enjoy and shouts to Troy at PowerPlayed for shooting this over.

NIPSEY HU$$LE x SNOOP DOGG - GANGSTA'S LIFE

Posted by mr. la at 11:04 AM 0 comments
Shake let this one breathe last night but I'm just getting to it today...I had already shut down for the day when it went "LIVE". A dope track featuring a gangsta rap legend and gangsta rap's newest (and hottest) breed. These two have a mixtape coming soon. Sounds like a goodie. Don't forget we have the Nipsey Hu$$le in-store in 2 weeks, BE THERE.

M.O.P. x POWERPLAYED

Posted by mr. la at 3:44 PM 1 comments

Powerplayed sends me a lot of video as they are always on the grind hustling. I haven't seen too many videos with any Los Angeles artists which is why I haven't posted many. But I've always like M.O.P. and if you want to talk consistency, they are that. Before the Roc, after, with G Unit, after G Unit and currently...they have a sound you know is theirs. Peep the video to see what they have going on. No matter what, I know Ante Up gets you pumped up, house party, club, car, whatever. To see what else Powerplayed has go here.

RAS KASS - MILLI VANILLI f. KILLAH PRIEST

Posted by mr. la at 3:19 PM 1 comments
Ras Kass dropped a new track over to Shake, so seeing that I've been a Ras Kass fan forever, chilled with dude before and he's definite from the City of Angels, (Carson to be exact) the track has to breathe over here too. If I respect Carson for anything it's that they gave us Ras Kass and they have an IKEA. Anyways Ras gets it in with a member of the supergroup 4 Horsemen (Kurupt, Canibus, Ras Kass & Killah Priest). Oddly enough...a while back we were arguing on twitter about the 'Horsemen vs Slaughterhouse. Thoughts???


NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND x NIKE AIR FORCE 1

Posted by mr. la at 3:04 PM 1 comments



Spotted on SneakerFreaker, Japanese hip hop force Nitro Microphone Underground collaborated with Nike to create a 10 year anniversary shoe. Check out the description below:

“Featuring a faux 24K upper wrapped in heavy-duty black-on-black crackle, this is a shoe fit for hip-hop royalty. In keeping with the occasion, the right tongue is woven with the year ‘1999’ while the left reads ‘2009’. The laces are adorned with gold jewels and the lace-tips are crowned with gold screw-top caps, giving them extra weight.”

These should drop next month, so expect to hear about who's carrying them in the next couple of weeks.

JAY-Z x XXL

Posted by mr. la at 11:57 AM 1 comments
Jay Z is definitely bigger than hip hop...but BP 3 has to be an album bigger than hip hop. I can tell that's what he's going for with Run This Town and Off That. The homie Meka has an interview with The Clipse in this issue, and as you can see J. Cole is in here too. Should be a good issue.

J. COLE - BACK TO THE TOPIC (FREESTYLE)

Posted by mr. la at 11:39 AM 1 comments
This has been floating around the web the past couple days but for some reason I forgot to post this. As a J. Cole supporter in these parts (I was one of the first, if not THE first) I feel it's only right to post up his content over here. I'm digging this track...he goes in about some everyday stuff over what I think is that Cassie f. Diddy track. Glad J. Cole did this...because before I would've only listened to the instrumental. Enjoy.


DIZ GIBRAN - SHOW N PROVE (NEW MUSIC)

Posted by mr. la at 11:33 AM 1 comments
Diz told me he was going to leak a new track to the nets on Tuesday, but some things held it up. Well it's here today so download it now and enjoy. Another Moonshine track and Diz doing what he does. Can't wait til he drops the one I was in the studio for...this is just a small holdover until then. (photo credit: Mel D. Cole)
