Miguel "Art Dealer Chic" EP

One of my favorite singers recently has been Miguel. I bought his Cd (yes, I paid money for a Compact Disc) and I loved it. He released his new EP, "Art Dealer Chic".

ILL x ILL clothing

Honestly, I saw an ad for ILL x ILL clothing while posting a video/mixtape on another site.

The ad caught my eye and I decided to check them out. They have some pretty ill gear. Rather than featuring one piece I decided to pick out an outfit that I would rock complete with accessories.

ALTERNATING WHITE AND BLACK SWAROVSKI BRACELET

BLACK ONYX AND WHITE SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL NECKLACE

FEELING FLAWLESS LIVING LAWLESS SWEATSHIRT

Get @illxillclothing on and tell them you saw them on @Essince.com

JBC x Samsa

I met the people behind Just Be Cool in LBC last month at Agenda and they have some dope stuff in the works. This shirt in particular caught my eye because of the detail.

This shirt is an official part of the Just Be Cool Campaign to redefine the world "Cool".
*new definition: "COOL - To keep a POSITIVE attitude about LIFE and a WORLD of PEACE, UNITY, and PROGRESS."


Get @JBC_global and tell them you saw the SAMSA x JBC tee on @Essince's blog.

Lego Graffiti

I used to do graffiti like it was my job. There were train tracks behind my dorm and I would sneak out like every week and tag the trains...also did some buildings & mail boxes, too.

I played Legos all day, too and of my dreams was to be a hand animator for Disney so combine graffiti, legos, and animation and you have my attention.

Brother Ali "The Bite Marked Heart"

I was just listening to "Shadows on the Sun" earlier today. I don't think Rhymesayers artists really do mixtapes like that so this is a pleasant surprise. Brother Ali is arguably my favorite living MC (his live show is nice, too. Cool dude).

Consider this a late valentine's day gift to my exes.



(Check his video for Writers Block here)

Augie Ray (producer)

.

When I was in LA last month I was staying with a friend who was working with another engineer/producer named, Augie Ray. Augie is the man behind the new release "(a) muse" from singer, Tyler Cymone.

He posted this video the other day and I wanted to share it with you. Dude is nice.

You know I'm working on my next project, Augie. What's up! lol

The Rising Table

I don't feature TOO much beyond media and fashion (though I've shared the occasional concept car, or pornstar interview) but whenever I see some cool furniture I have to share.

This collapsible table is cooler than a husky's nose, designed by Robert van Embricqs of the Netherlands.

And if you think this is cool, check out the "Lost in Sofa" here.

Rocksmith: the Heritage Ninjas Jacket

I'll be real with you, Rocksmith has some extremely ill gear lately. From their crew necks to their hats and jackets. They're definitely on point.

Enter the khaki "Heritage Ninja Jacket"(100% cotton).

For more info and to see more pics check this out here on Cranium Fitteds.

Maybe rock it with this hat?

Knightstalker x Reef the Lost Cauze "Lost Children"

Knightstalker has definitely been doing his thing this year and dropping some dope tracks with some ill MCs. The Romeo [Berlin] produced, Lost Children "deals with the worldwide social and economical problems and challenges that our generation faces day by day."

His new album, "Knighttime" just dropped and can be copped here.

Mistah Fab "Quick to Chase" MV

Out in NY enjoying life right now so I apologize on delayed posts. Interesting that the first thing I post while here is a Bay area video but whatever.

I [indirectly] did some work with Mistah Fab while transcribing interviews for DJ Vlad's "Ghostride the Whip" documentary.

The video features a dude named D. Gutta. Don't ask why but I thought it said D. Guetta [as in David Guetta]...yeah...oops. (Maybe because I just posted a Japanese cover of a D. Guetta song on a blog in Japan?)

Who cares. Bay area rap.

Dolo "Roach Clips"

NY MC, Dolo the Bandit is heading off 2012 with a pretty successful 2011.
* He was nominated as “Most Original Artist” at the Underground Music Awards
* Received feature placement for his song “Get Down” in Spike Lee’s feature film, “You’re Nobody til Somebody Kills You”
* His song "Get Down" was licensed for the Quicksilver Pro New York and France surf competition tours in September and December

Not bad

Young De "#HeadsUp"

I met Young De in Hollywood a few years ago at the Latin Rap Conference opening party and saw him a few days later at a Beatnuts show and have been following his career since then. He recently dropped his new mixtape, #HeadsUp. Check it out. I'll also post one of my favorite videos of his with B-Real, Don't You Dare Laugh.





But the FIRST song on THIS mixtape of his w/DJ Skee is one of the hardest intros I've ever heard.

P-Funk "Get it Get it"

This is the first track off Bay Area MC,P-Funk's new project, "Moonstruck" with Sir Tripp coming next month.

Check "Get It Get It" ft C Plus & Joyce Wrice below.
