How To Make In America

So there's a new HBO series coming out on Feb. 14 which features Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi called How To Make In America. Labeled as a Comedy series & produced by the same cats that brought you Entourage, check out the first episode in full below. Looks pretty promising so far.



In anticipation for the show, Dj Green Lantern & Broke Mogul teamed up to bust out a sweet little genre-mixed tape. You'll something on this tape that'll fry your taste buds for sure. The tape all features Kid Cudi & Dan Black's remix to "Symphonies". See the rad video below.

Runner's Wet Dream : Nike Lunar Rejuven8 Mid+

Dubbed one of the most tech advanced workout shoes to hit the pavement, the new hybrid-tech Lunar Rejuven8 Mid by Nike fuses together some NASA type shit to create one of the lightest, most comfortable shoes ever created while still offering a generous amount of foot/ankle support.














"The Lunar Rejuven8 Mid+ shown here is a unique hybrid design, which combines the Nike Torch’s upper with a lunarlite sole. The shoe’s exquisite design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but features a lightweight, moisture-managing, supremely comfortable trhee-layer textile construction.

Here we feature the first colorway to release, which is actually part of the Nike Livestrong Pack, and boasts a black and varsity maize colorway. They are available now at select Nike accounts eincluding Bows & Arrows and retail for $125 USD." - High Snob

From D.C. to your PC, Meet Wale.






















Wale has been on the outburst of uprising stars including Charles Hamilton, Kid Cudi, and Drake but hasn't gotten too much recognition with so much good music pumping out lately. The DC kid fuses together the local go-go scene with a Northen rap sensibility. Most known for his unique style of sampling all types of genres while laying down a smooth lyrical flow.

His debut album "Attention Deficit" just dropped recently, peep a few of my favs:




















Wale - Diary







Wale - 90210







Wale - Mirrors








Below are the reasons I started listening to this dood in the first place.

Wale - W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E ft. Justice







PB&J - Nothing to Worry About (Remix)







Mike Posner - Drug Dealer Girl ft. Wale







Kid Cudi - Look Up In Da Stars ft. Wale







Wale - Nike Boots ft. Lil Wayne







Kid Cudi - Is There Any Love ft. Wale







Enjoy.

Lil Wayne Rebirth Album Leaked!

Well not really, but apparently Amazon.com shipped out 500 unauthorized copies of the album which is supposed to be released in February. Watch the dummies below on video negotiating with YM to get compensated for not leaking the CD. Best part is when the little weasel calls his mom to discuss his road to riches.

Oh and here's another 3 tracks off the album.

Lil Wayne - One Way Trip ft. Kevin Rudolf & Travis Barker

Lil Wayne - Knockout ft. Nicki Minaj

Lil Wayne - American Star


And if you haven't had enough Young Money the last few days check out some joints off their upcoming album "We Are Young Money".
























Young Money - Pass The Dutch
Young Money - Fuck Da Bulls
Young Money- Finale
Young Money - Streets Is Watchin

Ok, I'm officially sick of posting about Weezy and his entourage but I have to amuse the masses. I promise I'll post some more original shit with the next few posts.

Aight, so this british fuck been growin' on me a bit lately. His name is Dan Black, but he is white. I must warn you his voice might repel you at first but I promise listen to all the hoopla I post below in full and you'll be hooked. He made it big with his "HYPNTZ" track which is a mashup of B.I.G's - Hypnotize and Rhianna's - Umbrella which really is dope but I like his original shit better. Turn up da volume....

Jack Threads




Ok this is the deal, at 12pm every day Jack Threads sends you an email telling you there's a sweet sale going on for a particular company. Everything is basically 50% or more off original retail price. For instance, today I got an email @ 12pm saying there was a Supra sale going on, checked it out and bought a pair of kicks for $50. These in particular:

The catch is though (of course there's always a damn catch) that these hot sale items sell out within the day, so if you want something you gotta jump on that shit quick. They have sales for basically every hip company out there.



They have a great return / exchange policy too. No Bullshit. Sign Up Here.

Quote from site: "JackThreads is an online shopping community offering apparel, sneakers, and accessories from respected brand names in the surf, skate, and street fashion subcultures—offered daily at least fifty percent off (usually more)."

Once you sign up you can see all their past sales and get an idea of what to expect in the future.
