DR. DRE & EMINEM = VIBE COVER

Posted by mr. la at 12:45 PM 0 comments


I'd rather see these guys cover VIBE over Diddy and his wannabe reincarnation of the old Bad Boy family...fake BIG, fake Kim, fake Craig Mack etc...anyways West Coast Legend, Compton bred super-musician and his midwest protege are our alternate cover boys for the 15th Anniversary Juice Issue...you know they're real power players.


KENT M$NEY - BECOMING (ALBUM DOWNLOAD)

Posted by mr. la at 12:37 PM 0 comments


I've been hearing about this project for some time and some industry insiders that I listen to when they support something are in the corner of not only Kent M$ney but the Surf Club as well.  I posted one of Kent's videos as well as other Surf Club projects.  Do yourself a favor and download this project...just reading the verse on the album cover made me want to hear this...some real $#!T to be talking about...I respect it.
On behalf of Hit-Boy and Chase N. Cashe (producers for Young Money, Lil' Wayne, Chris Brown, G-Unit, R. Kelly, Macy Gray, Drake, and countless others) I'd like to share with you guys an artist and project that is expressive, compelling, mind-blowing, and honest. Kent M$ney is the latest artist to come out of the Surf Club Movement, and after listening to his Surf Club debut project "Becoming", you'll understand why popular producer Boi-1da got on this, and why Mississippi's latest sensation, Big Krit, lended not only his vocals but his production skills to the project. Executively produced by Hit-Boy and Chase N. Cashe, the album also features TY$L ("Toot It & Boot It") and production from UPS.

Here's a pretty cool idea for a project...and if you're an LA resident then you know what 92.3 the Beat was for the city at one time in history.  Peep it out:


Dice The Nicest presents his 7th Mixtape "92.3 The Beat Mixtape".  This project is a tribute to 1990s music and the legendary Los Angeles trendsetting radio station.  Dice The Nicest handles the production, mixing and recording as usual, and has guest features from artists Hawdwerk, Jazzy, Young Vo, One B.A.R. and Black Karma, as well as a drop from one of the best dj's at the station Diana Steele.

THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION of J. COLE IS... (VIDEO)

You're going to have to watch the video to figure that out...duhhhh.

Yesterday I took a trip to midtown Manhattan for Heineken’s Inspire Tour featuring J.Cole, Wale and surprise guest, Rick Ross. Before Cole hit the stage, I scored some talk time (three quick questions) to discuss a few things you guys might find interesting. In this first clip, I asked Roc Nation’s brightest star discusses the biggest misconception about himself. ENJOY! – LowKey


STUSSY x CLARKS WALLABEE BOOT BALLISTIC

Posted by mr. la at 11:29 AM 0 comments

I haven't been interested in a pair of these since the Purple tape dropped...well then and around the time Roc-A-Wear, Enyce and all of those Urban Lines were making the fancy button up shirts.  If you didn't have a couple pairs to match your fits you weren't getting in a club with tennis shoes on.  Anyways as one of many of Stussy XXX collabs they get with Clark's for this Wallabee.  These drop on Saturday, I just thought the contrasting textures were a dope look.  If you're digging them, get to a Stussy this weekend.


TOY LAMP by RYAN MCELHINNEY

Posted by mr. la at 11:23 AM 0 comments

I thought this was dope...I don't play with toys anymore but I've always been fascinated by 3 Dimensional characters with heavy detail.  Sculptor Ryan McElhinney takes it a step further and takes these "toys" and creates a lamp with them.  Pretty cool to me:

“Ryan McElhinney turns trash into unique treasure. The Toy Lamp is made of unwanted toys which are bonded together and then coated in a high gloss polyurethane lacquer.” - DY


TRADITION x HEIST & CO. X ERIC WRIGHT: WRIGHTEOUS TEE

Posted by mr. la at 11:16 AM 0 comments

The Stephen Curry tee like this sold VERY well...this should do the same, so get yours.

Tradition had teamed up with Cleveland Browns Cornerback Eric Wright  and Heist & Co. to bring you the Limited Edition“Wrighteous” tee. This is the second in a series of official collaborations with professional athletes that Tradition had done, the first being with Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry.
Tradition's background is heavily rooted in sports,  so teaming up with Eric Wright and the Los Angeles based streetwear brand Heist And Co for this official collab was a no brainer. Going into his 4th season Eric has become one of the NFL’s most talented corners in the league. Tradition will be releasing the tee Friday August 13th. Due to the demand for this limited edition tee, Tradition is  offering a chance to pre order this shirt before the official release date. All of Tradition’s collaborations and limited edition t-shirt drops always sell out fast, and this will be no exception. Call (805)497-4717 to order one today. - Tradition
