Nike Blazer

Check out these Nike Blazers! These sneaks are nuts peeps. I would snag these in a flash and rock them with someone flash too! haha. I love the grey with the black, the gold stitching and tag at the back, but the purple trip just sets the entire trainer off. also the fresh white bold sole, with the black bar at the front! FRESH.
You could pair black, grey or purple laces to these! a different look every dayyyy! or even yellow to go with the yellow stitching! POWWW!!
 Any comments?

Britain's got TALENT


via videosift.com

Looks like Britain really does have some talent after all! i have seen many dance groups in my time which are all pretty awesome, but i do love this family of dancers. 'Diversity' is a street dance act creating a fresh feel to dance. Nicely thought out with the MJ glove and the dancer climbing out from the bag! I really enjoyed this performance, so check it out!

Jeremih - Birthday Sex

I love this track. Its about time someone dropped a deep slow 'jam'.. not 'slow jam'. The remix is nice too, well done Fab. I think this will be a big track this summer, a hit i reckon, its very catchy.

Angie Martinez interviews Kanye 2008

I love this interview.

Yeezy's next sneaker release

Word on the street is, these are Ye's next sneaker release! Care to comment?..

Ryan Les in studio with Keri & Fab

So much talent in one room! dayyyymn

Props to Angie Mar

Props to Angie Martinez, host of Hot 97 hottest radio in New York City! she won the Nike I.D designs 2 weeks on the trot. For those of you that dont know the idea of it, Nike puts out a brief such as "Basketball in the 80's" and they will give u a style of Nike, you then have to color code it to suit. People then vote for the ones they would buy!
Angie's doing her thang!!!

Kanye West & Malik Yusef ft Common & John Legend - Magic Man

This is a solid track from Ye & Co. I really like it. I dont think it needs the additions of Malik etc, i think it could be a solo hit from Ye on his own. I love Common tho, sexiest voice ever, and Legend carries the undertone of the whole song so props.

Team Blackout ft Chris - Gotta have Her

Im feeling this track and thought i'd share it with you. I havent got the mp3 yet, but will upload it when i do. But came across the video..

Nike presents 'Onwards' by James Jarvis


Onwards from akqa on Vimeo.

The best animation iv seen in a long time!

Kanye West - Amazing Video

Im in love with this video right here! iv always liked the track and was obviously intrigued to know what Kanye's next video will be like. I love how basic it is, but at the same time 'Amazing'! The sights are breath taking and thats 1 reason i like to travel, just to come across views like that and store them on my memory for a rainy day! ha.
I might have to hit up Hawaii after this vid...

If you haven't already got the track thats POOR... but ill let you off the hook and you can snag it (here)

Next release has to be Robocop, that track is NUTS!

Mr Bentley ft Anthony Hamilton - Greener



They say the grass is greener on the other...
Is it?
This track is dappa! I could listen to the instrumental and still be fully satisfied as the production is nuts. I think im liking the electronic kinda base sound right now, the kind you get with Ryan Leslie productions... thats what im hearing on this one, which justifies my love for the track. Anthony Hamilton is a G, cant never fault him.

Check out the track (here).. help promote the cause for 'GooD Music'

Eminem's Artistry

Nice!

Flud Watches


These watches are nuts! haha. Turntables and Boomboxes. I personally think they look kinda tight. A bit old skool but i guess thats the whole point. Bit of revival design.
Find these in different color-ways and additional designs (here)




Adidas New Consortium Release

Adidas Consortium Nizza Pack

Check out Adidas' new release today. As part of their latest Consortium series they have released two versions (Hi & Lo) of their Nizza sneaker model. Both kicks combine interesting textile choices including a patent leather option for the Hi's and a fleece rendition for the Lo Tops. A cool choice for this up and coming supper collection. However, i would like to see them in varied color-ways, not sure i could personally get away with either of these colors.


Joe Budden - Exxxes


Iv liked a few tracks released by Joe Budden, but i can assure you i'm not his No.1 fan. However, this recent track 'Exxxes' seems a tad different from his old stuff, less rough, less hard core. I enjoyed the production on it so props to The Klasix. I don't really understand the erotic video however haha, which is why i haven't posted it. Thought i'd wait until the track came through and share that instead. So here it it...

Vans Invite


Check this shit out! Super original. An invite to the Vans grand store opening, on a shoe inner-sole. I love it. so fresh, so innovative!
BIG!! Keep it coming..

Supra Skytop Bronze



Supra Chad Muska Skytop  -  Bronze Color-Way

So you may have noticed, this style of Supra was one of my first posts and i still want both of those colors (black, yellow). BUT, i really want these now, lol! I been toying with the idea for about 2/3 weeks since they were released, initially i wernt feeling the metallic thang they got going on. The more i look at them though, the more i can see how crisss they would look! jeeeeeez! Im falling in love with them.

Sneaker POS

I love this. Spotted it today on Obsessive Sneaker Disorder Blog. Its a Trainer point of sale featured in Brooklyn Sneaker Box store. As you can see the sneaker is balanced on the chopper pedal. The one thing i loved about New York is the POS for sneaks. So innovative and always inventing new things, I went to Michael Kays on Broadway and they had Puma's in a fridge! might have a pic somewhere...
Great vision.

Asher Roth

Its hard to believe i haven't heard of this guy until today. I cant help but compare him to Eminem, not only because he is a white rapper with a sick flow, but he raps quite sarcastically like Em. Im gonna be on the look out today for his album and will try get it to you later today. For now i found a track i like and have uploaded it for all you Hip Hop fans..

The Biggest Boss

Rick Ross seems to be coming out with tune after tune this year, he's either featured on everyones tracks, or everyone is on his. But this particular track i like, and more so, it made me laugh. Its kinda like a loaded gun facing 50 Cent... Rick Ross, Ja Rule, Fat Joe and The Game all on the same track, and all subliminally insulting 50! haha i love it, such controversy!
More then the overall track though, i like the lyrical flow of Ja and The Boss, which is why im sharing it with y'all.

TYGA - Lay You Down

I know there are a few Drake fans out there right now, so i thought i would hook you up with the remix to one of my fav tracks on the current Mixtape.

The Air Yeezy Song


Heres a track created for Kanye Wests new Nike Air Yeezy release. It was created simply because the guy felt so fresh after queing to purchase a pair! Thats the kinda love people have for sneakers and Yeezy, im one of them. I cant say i was a huge fan of the trainer, however the green and black color-way spotted on this video clip look neat, and the fact that they glow in the dark is more of an appeal! But i wouldnt/couldnt rock them, way too chunky and man-ish for a lady! haha.
The track was produced by Blue Jones for Hollywood E's forthcoming Mixtape "The eTape".

T.I

My baby boy T.I has released some beautiful music on his latest album 'Paper Trail'. In addition to the hits he has already released such as 'Swagger Like Us' and 'Dead and Gone', i feel there are a few more smash hits in there. 2 that im really feeling right now and are playing on my iPod every day are 'Porn Star' and 'You aint missing nothing'.
Every song on this album is a potential single release! Props to you T.I, good music never goes unheard.

Drake on Hot 97 with Angiiiieeeee


Shout out to my boy Roy for hooking me up with the Audio for this a few days ago. So i thought id get back atcha with the visuals to match, ha! So for those of you that dont know what Hot 97 is or who Angie Martinez may be... Its THE best radio show in New York City, hosted by THE greatest DJ/Radio Hosts of all time. Angie has also released a few rap albums which has some of my fav tunes on there so i might have to hit you up with some of those another time!
Anyway, heres the interview she had with Drake up in the studio..

If you still havent downloaded Drakes 'So Far Gone' Mixtape, courtesy of my boy Royyyy, get it (here)

ROCAWEAR Campaign promo


Find more videos like this on Roc4Life

It was only yesterday i decided to upload one of the toughest tunes released this year, 'Brooklyn Go Hard'. And the next thing i know, Ye has it up on his blog accompanying Jay Z's Roc4Life ROCAWEAR Campaign promo. Nice coincidence!

Sneaker Bombing


Greedy Geniu$ went nuts with the Sneaker bombing this month in LA. Apparently there is better footage of some done in NYC but im holding tight for that. Heres the LA madness...



Thats some American Football arm right there.. Lets be real, those lamp posts are taller then they ever seem!

Jay Z on Brooklyn

Now off the back of Khaled's track i thought id post this absolute corker! i don't know why i haven't posted it sooner as this has been on my iPod for a while now, but its never too late to share good music. This track is deep, you can hear it straight from the get go. The first note tells you this is a Jay Z track. From the first lyric Santogold spits its either gonna be a Jay Z track or a Yeezy track, as it almost sounds like a sample and only these 2 can REALLY use samples!
Buts its not a sample and it is a Jay Z track Produced by Kanye West. These 2 have one of those flavors that you can spot on a track immediately. I also think a track like this can boost Santogolds career very easily, so g'luck to her.
Well done Jay on this one, can't believe you were ever gonna give up rapping!

Another track on the new album 'The Blueprint 3' which is one of my fav's right now is 'When The Money Goes'. I love this track, the beat is fresh and Jay has taken it back to the old Jay with the lyrical flow. I think this will be his next release, smart move. Another summer track for the car right here.. enjoy...

DJ Khaled


Iv had this track for a few weeks now and since creating this blog i have been toying with the idea of posting it. After a few listens i think it is worthy of any Khaled, T-Pain or Yeezy fans, but im not sure for the rest of you. I am a fan of all 3 which is why it has grown on me. Khaled has been away for a little bit, but on his return as usual he 'Go Hard', excuse the pun! So all in all, this could be a big track this summer. Props on the beat production.

John Legend/Estelle


This track is an old one, but im excited about Mr. Legends tour and so this has been on my iPod recently, 'Hey Girl'. I like this tune and im feeling Estelle on this one, so thought id share it with y'all...

Download it (here)

Another corker between these two is on Legends 'Evolver' album. 'No Other Love' is one of my fav tunes on the album because of its reggae soul feel. Estelle executes the genre is such a way, it draws me in. When i listen to this i feel like Legend should have dreadlocks haha!

Download it (here)

Kid Cudi


The Kid is putting out some very sick tracks right now. My current fav is 'Higher Up'. This track is too much, the production on the beat is wholesome, it suits Cudi's lyrical flow to a T.  I think its the simplicity of the piano that caught my attention initially!
In love with this, its a summer track for the car..

Download it (here)

Another Cudi track i have mad love for right now is 'The New New'. Now the production on this has that same electric underlying tone as some of Yeezy's early stuff and the new '808's & Heartbreaks', in MY opinion. I know many may differ! i love this track anyhow..

Philips Carousel Commercial



This video is absolutely incredible. It gives bullet time a new meaning. Its so sharp and seamless, even as an animator i cant completely tell how it was done! I have a feeling some 3D modeling has been thrown in at a few points, such as when u see the shattered pieces of glass floating.  I love new things and great work, and this epitomizes that.

Yes guys, your not mistaken... this IS a chocolate inhaler! Created by Harvard professor David Edwards, Le Whif is a chocolate craving satisfying inhaler.

Kanye West Louis Vuitton Ambassador




We have all witnessed the love Yeezy has had for Louis Vuitton from day one! So it comes as no surprise to see him featured in the latest LV ad campaign being launched summer 2009.
I am very much feeling the photography, so props to you Steve Shaw, i like your vision!
For those of you who aren't familiar with Steve's work, he specializes in Advertising, Fashion and Magazine covers and he did the recent ad campaign for Paris Hiltons 'British Best Friend'. From seeing some of his previous works, you realize that these Yeezy pics have Steve's signature all over them.

Peep some of his work (here)

Air Jordan 1 Retro




Air Jordan Retro 1 Yellow color way

I went to New York in 07 and spotted somebody wearing these. I asked where she got them and she said they have been out for a while and the shops wouldn't have them anymore. Anyway, almost 2 years on and i am still fully in love with these. 
I cant find these in my size anywhere! and am tempted to buy a bigger size just so i can have them, haha! Very fresh, and in my opinion - timeless.

Nike Vandal Hi Supreme Rock'n'Roll




Nike Vandal

I like these Sneaks a lot. Fresh to death. Last year the black version of these were released and Nike have upped their game with the white and silver version. The detail on the tongue and ankle strap is the attraction. And don't be fooled, the sole isn't grey, its metalic, which gives these a fashionable sheek feel. I also love the texture on the inside of the shoe, the small part which is on show brings style to it. Personally, i wouldn't rock the ankle strap, but i love the design as a whole nevertheless

Chrisette Michele


Chrisette Michele - Epihpany

Some of you may recognize her from tracks like Jay Z's 'Lost One' and Nas's 'Still Dreaming' and 'Cant forget about you'. She has put her stamp on many other artists tracks, those were to name a few. Already well established she has had two album releases,  'I am' in 2007 and 'Epipany' 2008. Im feeling her music right now, its very soulful and has quite an alternative flavor to it.
Epiphany is one of my favorite tunes on her most recent album. As soon as i heard it i thought it may well be a Yeezy production, or even a John Legend. Im still unsure as i havent researched it, but if anyone knows, leave a comment! This lady has mad talents and the beat is just simple too much. Please crank up your speakers before you press play...

Nike Air Presto's



Nike Air Presto - Deep Red/White Color-way

These are all me! those of you that know me probably know by now that i love most things red. So when i saw these newly released, i wanted a pair. I had the black ones quite a few years back now and they are the most comfortable sneaks you could ever purchase! my mum has 2 pairs of old presto's, just for comfort sake not fashion, but for me, im killing two birds with one stone! Fashion and comfort, what more could you ask for. Iv waited for this color-way in sneakers for a while, very simple, red and white, not too much detail, plain but bold. Genius..

Ciara's New Album


Ciara - Fantasy Ride

Ciara is back people, with a few decent tunes i must say! A lot of collabo's, which i don't always applaud, however i think it does this album justice. I have uploaded a few tunes for now, as i havent heard the entire album and these are the tunes i think are worthy of sharing!
The track with Justin is a jam! feeling that right there, although it does sound like a Justin track featuring ciara, lol, love it nevertheless. I really enjoyed the track with T-Pain, thick beat, quite distinguished as a T-pain sound. Explode is more of a slow jam, nice relaxing joint. I have a feeling Turntables will be the next release, probably to boost Brown's career, ha! its an alright tune though...!

Download tracks below...

Go Girl (ft T-Pain)

The Next Zidane

Madin Mohamed

Check out this little guy! he is only 6 years old and has mad talent. The skills he is bringing to his game at this age is unbelievable! He will be playing for a massive international club very soon without a doubt. He has been named the next Zinedine Zidane... i guess only time will tell.

Kanye West - Gay Fish



Kanye West on south park

As you can see from one of If you have been following my blog, you'll notice i had prepared you for a Yeezy South Park performance... well here it is! I didn't think it would be as controversial as this, but hey, its South Park ... expect the unexpected right?!
I cant really expect with words the humor i caught from this video clip! Impressive work South Park! I also  love the fact that Ye doesn't give a hoot about what people may think, he liks to make fun of himself, and endearing quality!

FUNKY MONKEY!



Attacca Pesante ft Shea Soul - Make It Funk For Me

When i first heard this track i instantly fell in love. This is a JAM right here, a BIG summer tune for all you funky lovers! Such a soulful, chilled out tune, almost has a salsa rhythm to it.
When the beat drops towards the middle of the track you get an underlying bass, it just completely mellows you out, but brings hype at the same time!

THE Dock


Ipod Dock

A multi-functional docking station for Apple products. Designed by Sang Hoo Lee, he has created an innovative contemporary design, combining speakers and a bed lamp. The ipod which is quickly working its way into every space we occupy finds a place on our night stands or desks in a stylish package. Im not quite sure where to buy one as of yet, but no doubt they will make it to the mainstream product market very soon!

Dre Beats Coloware







Beats by Dre Dre  -  Coloware

So i heard about these a while back and was impressed when i saw the originals. But when i peeped these, i instantly fell in love with the yellow ones! its a I.D type scenario where u design your own using a color chart. I am told that the sound is incredible and if you are gonna invest in something this year, let it be a pair of these!
