This year it seems like Jordan is pushing out 12s big time. So far, scheduled for the 09, they've the got Nubucks coming out soon, and now they've announced that come winter season, they plan to retro the all whites, black and red, and white and red XIIs. For me the white and red XIIs are the best but everyones entitled to their own opinion
On 2dopeboyz today, i come across a huge headliner that reads, 9th wonder makes a beat for Nas. The beat they made was tough, i could definitely hear that beat for Nas. Its a smooth, sounds like a barry white sample, beat with the 9th wonder, hip hop feel. A Nas & 9th Wonder Collaboration, is something I look forward to looking to see sometime soon.
Wow. I was on 2dopeboyz the other day, and I see, ANOTHER rapper that has a problem with Mr. Charles Hamilton. This time DCs own, a local favorite, Wale. This was kind a shock, only due to the fact that about 3 months prior, I saw them chilling at Stussy/Commonwealth at the Inauguration Party. All I Can say is: "WELP"...things that go on between rappers just is what it is. I mean the music is really the most important part but its always interesting to pay attention to what's going on. Speaking of which look out for or go out and download/buy: The Manuel by Rhymefest (already out) Back to The Feature by Wale (4/29) Asleep In The Bread Aisle by Asher Roth (4/20) Jacques Jams by Chester French Gone Fishing by The Cool Kids & DJ Don Cannon Cuban Linx 2 by Raekwon (this summer) Flght School by Wiz Khalifa This Aint No Mixtape by Currency and many more to come...
So Wale came to VA and being apart of the DMV you know we had to show him some love, so me and my boys made the 2 hour which turned into 4 hour trip to Richmond due to traffic and BS to see Wale and UCB. He throws a pretty decent show and we were lucky to get a "Chillin" tee given to us by Wale, which was a sz extra super duper small which probably wouldnt come over my head.
One thing that caught my eye and ears while waiting 2 hours for Wale to appear on stage added on to the 4 hour drive, was artist Colin Munoe. His verison of Flashing Lights remixed offically with permission of Kanye West shows that he's not only talented playing the drums and switching off to keyboard while singing but is an uprising artist with a hell of a voice and can entertain a crowd. At first i was judgemental because of the emo look but this dude has more "soul then a sock with a hole". He will be featured on Wale's upcoming album Attention: Deficit
So following Dizzy and DMVerons daily updates on what there rockin up in DC and MD heres whats being thrown on in VA. Commonwealth Cap, Mos Def Brooklyn Sly Tee, 501 Levis with some Retro 4's, and of course the traditional G-Shock.
While stunting in Hawaii, Kanye reaches out to all those who camped out and slept out and purchased a pair of his NIke Air Yeezys....If you read my camp out experience a few days ago, you could probably understand why I said, "asshole" when I saw this video. If I had got my pair, different story, but look what he did! He did a good job hyping his shoe up and keeping em limited or what not though...All Im saying is, next month when the Black/Pink Air Yeezys drop, i'll be out there again, and I better get my pair....
