My New Favorite Shit...


I have been searching for a new podcast to listen to since the Ricky Gervais ones finished. I tried a few, and was unimpressed. Then i discovered Juan Epstein. Coming to from HOT97 personalities Pete Rosenberg and DJ Cipha Sounds, this podcast is very funny for anyone into hip hop and DJ'ing. Get it at Rosenberg Radio or subscribe to it through iTunes here.

Nike Air Pegasus 89 Retro


Yes! Yes! Yes!
Now before I get to excited I am going to keep my fingers crossed they do not ruin this shoe with horrible colorways like they did the Air Stab and Air Structure 91. Nice, simple, clean and classic colorways please, leave the fluro to the fashionboys.

There it is...


Finally it leaks...

Hyper-Crack...


I am fiending for these. Here is another teaser photo of the McFly Hyperdunks. Still no word on release though.

Tinker PE Air Yeezy's...

This shoe is becoming insane. Still with no release and hardly any news on the shoe, more and more sick colourways are seeing the light of day. Designed by Mark Smith for Kayne West, this pair was a gift to Tinker Hatfield and Mark designed a new set of symbols about Tinker's story on the strap, very similar to the Jordan XX.

Dilla...Ghost...Doom...


In late 2005 Ghostface Killa and MF DOOM were both recording over tracks from J Dilla's instrumental opus, Donuts, which saw release the following February. Some of these were released on Ghostface's Fishscale in 2006, while others, including a Dilla-Doom project, were postponed indefinitely after J Dilla's passing. Two of these tracks, “Sniperlite” and “Murder Goons,” will be released digitally, exclusively through Stones Throw's webstore, due to launch in late June.

The Roots on Colbert Report



This is the Roots rendition of "Star Spangled Banner", and it is insane. These guys are just super talented. Check it out

Omarion inks...


Omarion has signed with Timbaland's Mosely Music Group. "I'm really excited about this project. Timbaland is like family to me, so it's always great to work with family and I think this is going to be my best album yet. I'm happy to call Mosley Music Group my new home." So for all those that were down with "Ice Box" this should be an album to look forward to.

Back To The...


...Mutha Fuckin Future!!! With the release of the Nike Hyperdunk just around the corner, this image has popped up on the net, pretty much making anyone slightly interested in this shoe lose their minds. The Hyperdunk takes it's inspiration from the Marty McFly Back To The Future II shoe, and this looks to be a teaser of the Hyperdunk colourway of that same shoe. This is one everyone will be chasing.

SBTG x Lazy "The Paramount" Dunk Lo Teasers


My good friend SBTG has this time teamed up with fellow Singaporian sneaker customizer AKA Lazy to work on a dunk low titled 'The Paramount'. After the success of the 'Death from Above' collaboration with Phuk and taking into account the crazy skills of Lazy with fabric customs this is surely going to be an insane collabo. For more information and a few more teaster pics hit up High Snobiety

Best Best...


A new Missy Elliott track has leaked called "Best Best." Danja Hands is on the beat for this one. Not sure if this is the first single, buzz single, or just ringtone, but it has a nice sound to it. Beat switch near the end is nice. You can download it here.

A-Trak for Nike Plus


Nike is continuing to team up with musicians and this time they are set to release “Running Man”. This is a 45-minute mix and is part of the Original Run series and A-Trak’s first full-length production that will feature vocals from various artists including Kid Cudi. First single set to release is"Say Woah" so keep an ear out

"I Killed Qupid" from Isaac Pierro


"Distinction Gallery Presents I Killed Qupid, an epic showing by Isaac Pierro opening this Saturday, June 14th.Isaac Pierro’s work is character driven, often painting subjects reminiscent of a dark and twisted children’s book. His roots as a graffiti artist can be felt through the splatters and over-saturated drips intentionally layered into the works for a more organic discomforting chaos."
From: June 11 – July 5, 2008
Reception: June 14, 6-11 pm

Those artists are Pharrell of N.E.R.D., Santogold and The Strokes’ lead singer Julian Casablancas. The song will be available to download from Converse's Website.

Obama Mixtape...

Who wouldn't want this dude as the next president? Any politician that hoops is a friend of mine.

Nibiru...


Recently in 2008, Japanese Astronomers at Kobe University lead by Dr. Mukai have plotted a planet with a diameter at least the size of earth should exist in our solar system on a highly elliptical orbit. This planet is normally referred to as Planet X, but sometimes also called Nibiru, which is referred to in ancient Sumerian tablets. They also talk of an alternate beginning to humans evolution. Below is a radio interview that explains this theory in depth. Very, very cool stuff.

Do Work Son...

One of my favorite moments from one of my favorites shows from the past few years. Such a shame it's no more. Looking foward to the Big reality show though.

Ricky Gervais, the creator of some of the best comedy series ever, has a doco out that you can watch for free online, where he gets props from some of the worlds top comedians. The Office is still one of my all time favorite shows. Make sure you watch the clips in order.

Holiday 08 Air Structure Triax 91's



Ok as predicted it looks like we are going to see a bunch of Structure Triax's this next year and the flood has already begun but unfortunately as was the fate of the Air Stab it all seems to be going downhill rapidly. I'm not going to lie, the second of the two above is pretty nice but we have already seen some questionable color and material choices as well as quality control issues with the Structure Traix range and if their retro predecessor the Air Stabs are anything to go by I fear that the best of the range has already come and gone.

Smash137 Style Diary


I think its part of any good bloggers job to let their readers know about other cool blogs out there on the net that they might wanna check out. Graffiti artist Smash137 of the Montana writers team has a blog where he uploads new sketches almost every day ranging from new styles, to pieces and even throwies so check it out here.

Below is a quick video of Smash and Kent getting up at the Montana Graffiti Style contest in Germany.

Kanye West Freestyle

The Spirit Teaser Poster II


So this is the second teaser poster for 'The Spirit' movie and it looks insane. Fingers crossed the movie isn't too much like 'Sin City' but the comic was sweet and hopefully the movie will be too.
