Big Screen...

Here's a vid of Ye and GLC in the studio working on a track called "Big Screen" from the new 808's and Heartbreaks album...

808's and Heartbreaks in November!!!

Just because, Kanye is dropping his next album in November. He says he has finished the album and want's the public to here is asap. Found on his blog. Look foward to see if Jeezy is on this album and what other guests he has.

Nicolay and Phonte On The Real Frequency...

Pretty good interview with Nicolay and Phonte about the upcoming Foreign Exchange album. Check it out here.

Time To Get My Motorbike Licence...

People have asked, why is there no Ferrari motorbike. Hopefully soon that question won't be asked anymore. This concept reminds me of the Akira bikes. So, so, sick. Check the rest of the pics here.

She Got Her Own...

Ne-Yo's Miss Independent remix has it's own video now featuring Jamie Foxx and Fabolous. Very simple, very dope song.

Insa Heels Drop

Ladies the Heels are now available, very limited quantities so be quick. Get them at WWW.INSA-HEELS.COM

Wood Wood X Chuck...

Danish label Wood Wood have teamed up with Converse to bring you their monochrome grey canvas Chuck Taylor. Set for release on October 1st, these are some of the hottest Chuck's I have seen in a while. Pics from Hypebeast.

Leave It All Behind Sampler...

The crew at Foreign Exchange have released a sampler for the upcoming album Leave It All Behind. With all the posts we have been dropping about the release of this album you know we are pumped to hear what is in store from Nicolay and Phonte. Download the sampler here.

1. Take Off The Blues

2. All or Nothing

3. Something To Behold

4. If This Is Love

5. If She Breaks Your Heart

Love Lockdown Final...

Well looks like Kanye listened to the fans and reworked his latest release Love Lockdown. Switched the drums up a bit and re-sung the song, and it sound's alot better in my opinion. Sounds a lot more like a finished song now. Check it out here.

Jeff Soto - Storm Clouds

Jeff Soto has finally released his second book “Storm Clouds”. The book features 148 pages of Soto’s art exhibitions from the past four years. Murphy Design is now selling and shipping “Storm Clouds” in a box set edition, which is not only signed and numbered, but also includes four limited edition prints and the book in a customized clamshell box. Remember, the holidays are approaching. I have mine on the way and cannot wait for it to arrive.

Insa Heel Release

Ladies, Insa is dropping his collaboration heels soon so keep an eye out cause these will not last long.

Reebok x Monopoly

Somebody really needs to wake Reebok up before they continue to ruin some of the most classic sneakers of all time. I am not sure there is a company who constantly puts out such horribly blocked shoes with poorly chosen and placed colors. What I would personally love to see from Reebok is a return to some classic simple colorways, everyone was feeling the Alife Pumps and the Miami Vice series, lets get back to the quality releases because if your rocking these shoes you need to go right to prison, no passing go, no collecting $200.

Meggs - Own Worst Enemy

The second solo exhibition for Melbourne local Meggs titled ‘Own Worst Enemy…’ opens on the 25th September at Dont Come Gallery in Melbourne. Sponsored by Stussy it features all new paintings and screen prints alongside some 3D installation elements. I am definately looking forward to this and will be making the trip down opening night.

Love Lockdown Studio...

Kanye has put the studio version on his blog. Check it out here.

808's and Heartbreak...

So looks like Yeezy's next album is going to be called "808'S and Heartbreak" and is set for release December 16th. I'm guessing with the two new songs he has performed recently he will be using love as a major theme. I'm guessing theme's of losing his mother and fiance might pop up. Any new Kanye is good Kanye.

Daykeeper...

The new Foreign Exchange album is almost here. Today the first song from the project was made available free for download on the Foreign Exchange website. The song is called "Daykeeper" and features Phonte singing the whole track with Muhsinah. Very cooled out track, and if this is the tone of the album it will definately be one of the most unique albums from a "hip-hop" group in some time. Can not wait for the release.

Get the track here.

Love Lockdown Live...

Kanye closed out the VMA's with his new track Love Lockdown, which is dope as. The drummers were crazy. Hopefully the studio version gives off that same feel. I'm looking forward to anything Yeezy puts out soon. Check the performance below.

Nike SB Dunk Low "Gold Rail" AKA "Melbourne"

"In Nike SB’s upcoming October releases, Australians/Melburnians are once again the focus of their very own regionally exclusive shoe as they look to a local landmark for inspiration. Based on the well-known meeting spot, the Flinders Street Station, many have chosen the train station’s clock as reference as well as a popular skate spot with its gold rail. The upper is comprised of canvas, suede and mesh with a distinct blue upper (based on the Port Philip Bay) and a brown midsole (based on the Yarra River). As mentioned these are slated for an October release, however much like Dunk Low Homers, these are limited to Melbourne only."
Congrats to our mysterious friend who came up with this design

Craola @ Joshua Liner Gallery

One of my favourite artists Greg "Craola" Simkins is having a new exhibition at the Joshua Liner Gallery. "In Simkins’ large, finely wrought paintings, fantastical characters with symbolic accessories are arranged in quasi-narrative still-life’s that spread opulently across the picture surface". The show opens Saturday the 6th and is a must see for anyone in the New York area and is only running till October 4th. Here are some more pics from the show, nobody can mess with this work.

Love Lockdown...

OK there are rumors flying around everywhere that Kanye has an album planned to drop in December this year, and the title won't be "Good Ass Job" as was always suggested. Also Kanye is said to be the closing act at this years MTV VMA's and will perform the new single off the album called "Love Lockdown." Can't wait to see this. He did try preview the new song at a concert recently but a band mess-uo cut it short. Check it below.

Catch Me If You Can...

The Timbo heads have probably heard this track already, off Matt Pokora's latest cd "MP3." Track is nice and beat is crazy. Check it out.

Claremont...

This shit is crazy... Designer Adam Kimmel took a different approach when showing off two of his new suits. Very very cool.

A series of remixed logo’s by local Australian artists will be proudly covering the monthly slabs sent out to the friends of Red Bull as well as biographical information about their artwork. This project is aimed at bringing the Red Bull creative community a little closer together while spreading the word about the talent in Australia. Above are my favourites from a few local Melbourne artists.
