Adidas Artwork by Andrea Joseph

2010-04-19T16:58:00.000-07:00

I love this type of art, i wish i could draw as real and as detailed as this with a pen. Pencil yes, pen no! Andrea Joseph is known for creating his artwork using nothing but a ball point pen. He has produced a new project for Adidas which is made up of 3 pieces, a red, blue and white color-ways. 2 are A4 size and one is a little smaller.

iPhone 4G preview

2010-04-19T16:29:00.000-07:00

So this is the newest iPhone. The 4th generation iPhone also known as the iPhone HD. Even though i loved Apple's sleek rounded usual design, i appreciate that they have endeavored to change things up a little instead of just releases a few more features like they have done in the past. I have seen this in black which looks so sleek and sexy, but i didn't wanna post the images as im not sure they are real! On this original; it features a totally flat body, with a body-wide aluminum border, unfortunately a smaller screen but 16% larger battery :-D

The main additional features are:

- Front facing camera for iChat capability

- Better camera with LED Flash

- High Res Screen

-Micro-SIM instead of a standard SIM

One thing im concerned about is the Micro-SIM feature. How will it work? AT&T in the US is the only carrier that supports this as of yet, so how will this effect its international usage?! :-/

I want one. Cant see it coming out in england until 2011 to be fair!

Almost 2 weeks ago i posted Nicole Scherzinger's "Jive" on Dancing With The Stars and it was fabulous! Check it out here. This week she attempts the 'Quick Step' and i loved it enough to post it!

There are few leaders in the gaming industry and Capcom Entertainment is one of them. They have kept us hooked with many great games over the years. The Street Fighter series is their longest to date and their latest creation 'Super Street Fighter IV' is set for release later this month. To coincide with the launch of the game, artists have been hand picked to take part in a campaign. They have been asked to create Street Fighter imagery in a notebook doodle style and some of the results can be seen here. Please click after the jump for larger imagery.

Nike Air Presto - Summer Releases 2010

2010-04-11T16:12:00.000-07:00

It has been a year today that i posted the Air Presto summer releases 2009 and was blown away by the red color-way as it was new and fresh. There's nothing much new this year, but i still would. They have changed up the accenting slightly, as you can see the 2009 joints that i posted were all red apart from the sole, but these ones feature the white accenting. These are the only running trainers i would happily own. They are light weight, comfortable and airy, great for running but also just for general comfort. The green color-way os the most eye-catching this time, but i think you know i would only rock the red ones successfully ;) Please click after the jump for the up close and personal images of each color-way.

2010-04-11T13:48:00.000-07:00

There has been so much speculation of late surrounding the release of Kanye's up and coming album and also the features on that, being rappers or producers. Either way i am EXCITED! I feel like its been a long time coming, he's been hiding away for so long i haven't heard much about him. I hope the album explodes coz Yeezy is a musical genius and deserves nothing less. Album is set to release this coming June and is entitles "Good A$$ Job".

Tiger Woods - Nike Golf Ad "Earl and Tiger"

2010-04-11T13:31:00.000-07:00

This ad is so short but so deep! Tiger Woods has been the centre of a huge media scandal of late and people may have thought there was no comeback from that. But on April 8th 2010 Woods announced his Golfing comeback after 4 months off and here is his latest Nike ad campaign to go along side that. It is obviously relevant and can be interpreted ambiguously, but we all know what is implied here. Nice move Nike!

Blue/Grey Colorways - Nike Dunk High / Supra Dixons

2010-04-06T18:14:00.000-07:00

Im loving the blue and grey color-ways that are being released recently. Nike have released their High Dunks in this matt grey and royal blue finish. Along side Supra who also have a new release, namely the Supra Dixon. This is another brand new release from Supra, however these are exclusive to Zumiez stores. I love the blue suede with the accented matt grey on the heel, thats a nice touch, makes this chubby trainer look so much more appealing. Please click 'more' for more images.

obviously has to be Dr Dre. But it was difficult because some

of these producers have created amazing records.

Got to be Timbaland and Swizz Beatz!

Kanye West

No I.D is killing it though, The alchemist and J.Dilla!

This was the hardest one! Theres a few i love. Top

So Roy mentioned and posted this track on Twitter yesterday, basically saying he posted it for the J.Cole feature originally but once he listened to it he realized this new dude Miguel is alllllright! Lol. So i copped that and what do you know... this Miguel dude really is allllright! Track is dope! I have it on repeat. I loved it from the first drum, then i loved it even more from Cole's first bar, then the vocals of Miguel!!!! NICE. The video above is Miguel speaking on how the collab came about.

Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II

2010-04-06T16:44:00.000-07:00

Nikes recent campaign for their up and coming Mercurial Vapor Superfly II football boots definitely caught my eye. Not only does it capture wonderful graphic design, created by the amazing Sølve Sundsbø, it also masters animation techniques, special effects and 3D modeling, created by the French motion graphic master duo GKaster. I am in love with everything they have produced for this campaign. It is so intricate and detailed, so many angles with perfect composition. This image and video obviously advertises this boot in the best way possible and to an athlete it would say more to them then actual words. I could talk forever about the actual boot and its brilliant spec, but really im posting this for the design aspect and animation.

2010-04-04T17:46:00.000-07:00

These are serious!!! i know you know im not really a fan of AF1's, mainly because of the platform heel! But these are so sexy, i know i could make these look amazing. They look so fresh and they support the 'All Black Everything' trend we have going on right now. The toe box is all patent and the side panels feature perforated leather, giving that collaborative surface design that is also going on at the moment. I like that they have used the perforated leather instead of suede, its fresh again. These can be purchased at ExtraButter, get them whilst you can, they wont last long!!!

Supra Vaider - Suprawood preview

2010-04-01T19:05:00.000-07:00

Supra are being to surpass themselves when it comes to color-ways. They have taken a leaf out of Nike's book and have basically kept the same 3 shoe designs but released a million different color-ways, which everyone loves. Especially me. They have released teaser pics for a new Vaider design which they have dubbed the 'Superwood'. They appear to sport a TUF grade heavy duty black canvas upper along with intricate details of cut-out stars. The detail of the cut-out stars is so dope! Other features include gold trimming, visible on the piping and the heel tab. The sole is a classic white design with a double black ribbing. I usually would like the fresh white sole to be only white, but i think in this case the double ribbing is well suited. I think from these preview pics, im gonna fall deeply in love with this one! :-/ lets just wait and see! More picks after the jump..

I love this track! I think you guys know my love for Estelle from previous posts. Girl is doing her thing and its alllll good, cannot fault anything. From time she is creating music with the likes of Kanye and now Talib Kweli, she is definitely doing well. Im hoping the album 'Revolutions Per Second' is mellow like this and knowing Talib, it will be. Iv heard 'Just Begun' ft Jay Electronica, J.Cole and Mos Def, that is niiiiice, check it here. Interested to know who's producing on the album, if anyone knows, holla.

2010-04-01T18:06:00.000-07:00

I saw the buzz about this film on Twitter shortly after 'Shank' hit cinema's. I am actually looking forward to this one. I like what Noel Clarke does cinematically, you can tell his style as soon as you see it. Im pretty shocked at the actresses he has got to play the parts... i love the feistiness of Michelle Ryan from 'Bionic Woman', looks like she plays a great role. We'll have to wait and see, Release date for the film is June 2nd.

T.I Speaks About New Album

2010-04-01T17:52:00.000-07:00

In those 1min and 33sec i felt more truth and sincerity from T.I then i have ever witnessed! Deep! Roy from DJ Semtex Blog asked if this album could have more success then 'Paper Trail', i have to say no. From what T.I was saying about it being ol' Skool T.I, aggressive southern rap... it wont get as much commercial time as Paper Trail. But to be fair, it all depends on who he is collaborating with and who's on production! G'luck to him i say, i look forward to the drop.

2010-04-01T17:38:00.000-07:00

Just back from touring with Madonna, Miss Kiley Dean has released a video for her new remix to Timbaland & Drake's 'Say Something'. I think she does a good job but the track is screaming for a rap verse from Drake. If it had that, it would break the song up nicely and i think it could be nice. The video however does not impress me, i like some of the visuals, but the concept of her writing the lyrics in a pad makes me cringe!!!

I love this guy, he really knows his stuff, which is incredibly inspiring. He touched upon the money subject, how much certain kicks can potentially be worth depending on 'exclusivity'. Its a crazy fact to be fair! The sneakers that he is discussing are Mr Cartoons Live Strong AF1's which i can appreciate have been around for a long time... coming up on a year now. I obviously wouldnt rock these, i think you guys know my style by now. I don't really post really extravagant custom's as they don't interest me much apart from color-ways. However, like always i love to appreciate what has gone into the making of things and the detail on these are spectacular. The detail on the mid panel of the clown and the low rider is mad! Mr Cartoon leaves his mark on all things he touches and even managed to come out with a matching color-co phone cover to these shoes, very impressive. The fact that Marvel tried to get the shoe's discontinued because of the spider-web bewilders me! Fools! Check out the kicks and phone cover below.

I wanna start by saying i really like Sabrina and i think a lot of the nation warmed to her when she appeared on 'Im a Celebrity get Me Out Of Here'... my brother in particular LOVED her! lol. Congrats to her for even having the courage to go solo and take things to another level. The music she's producing sounds very contemporary and that goes hand in hand with the concept and styling of the video. I have to touch upon a point that jumped out at me on first viewing... the styling is extremely GaGa no? And event he album title 'Dirty Pop' sounds very GaGa! Im happy that she's been inspired to be honest, but nobody can do GaGa like Gaga! G'luck Sabrina, i think your album will be successful to be fair!

Remember a few weeks ago i copped those all purple Supra's, Suede and Patent... well Adidas has come out with this comfy version of their Forum's, looks much more cushioned then usual and they have gone for the canvas/patent combo. The touch of white on the inner and the sole gives it that fresh look i always speak of! Im feeling these in a big way. Not more then my Supra's though! ;-D

Drake - 'Thank Me Later' release date

2010-03-30T04:55:00.000-07:00

The Toronto native who burst onto the scenes with his EP 'So Far Gone' has finally received an official release date for his up and coming album 'Thank Me Later'. Already dropping his single 'Over', the record label is gearing up for the debut album release which is May 25th. The hype behind Drake has been immense and worthy to say the least. I think this album is gonna be a smash... cannot wait!!

Loso has dropped a new video in support of his mixtape 'There Is No Competition 2: The Funeral Service'. I actually really love the idea behind the video, not sure it was executed in the best way but the concept was there. Very original and suited to the mixtape title... I applaud him.

Kanye West Album Features

2010-03-29T06:19:00.000-07:00

Every release Kanye drops is highly anticipated and his 5th album "Good Ass Job", which he is currently in Hawaii recording is no different. This may be Kanye's most powerful and inspiring release to date. Rumors have run amuck over who he has flown to Hawaii to work with him in the studio. Names include but are not limited to Drake, Dwele, RZA, Clipse, Big Sean, Q-Tip and even Soulja Boy. I think a couple of production collabs may be there aswel. RZA is doing big things right now, looking forward to that especially. Mr.Hudson has been reported as saying the album has an old skool beat to it, so it sounds as though Yeezy has changed it up again. I cannot wait for this release. The whole Taylor Swift incident is very much in the past and Kanye will be back on top, like always. Any leaks? please send them my way!!! lol

Jay-Z rocks Radii Moon Walkers

2010-03-29T05:59:00.000-07:00

Radii Footwear launched in 2008 have been promoting the fact that Jay-Z has been spotted all over the US rocking their Moon Walker sneakers! He has sported them quite a few times during the BP3 Tour andi must admit, theya re a very good look. I saw a few different Radii sneaks on PickYourShoes.com and they caught my eye. I really like them but wouldnt wear them personally. These ones that Jay-Z is wearing are nice, Black and white, very fresh. PLease click after the jump for more pics and different Radii joints!

This is probably pretty irrelevant to folk like me that live in London, but im posting this more out of interest of the designs and concept. I love Stussy, their designs are always very cartoony or comic book styled. These T-Shirts were released on Saturday, they feature a vintage postcard graphic of the Capitol building and is reworked to include various D.C. hardcore influences.

The beat on this one is sick. Like i said on Sem's blog, even if i didn't see the title to this, i would have known Jay Z was on this track from the second the beat drops! Its so him. And as far as video comments, i have to say, the opening wide shot of the road/bridge... NICE!

Jordan Brand 2010 Releases

2010-03-25T16:56:00.000-07:00

Air Jordan Alpha 1

I usually only like the yellow and black color-way of the similar but different Air Jordan 1 Retro's. But this black on black with silver metallic accents has caught my eye. I don't think i would rock these, as i feel like the heel is too big, a little like Air Force One's. I can appreciate this color-way though, its very stealth.

Air Jordan Alpha 1

After i posted the Black on Black Alpha's i came across the Black and Yellow color-way i was talking about, this is a color-way used on Air Jordan 1's. They have used the exact color-way on these Alpha's but they have added the white streak on the sole. Still not feeling the height of the heel but i love the color-way!

Maestro Knows S03 E06 (Johnny Cupcakes)

2010-03-24T09:09:00.000-07:00

For those of you that don't know, Jonny Cupcakes is a clothing brand founded in 2001 by John Earle. He created it by accident to begin with and when he saw a demand for the clothing he was printing for himself and band members, he began to sell them. Once the demand increased he was able to open his own clothing store and is now a multi-millionaire! To be fair, i hadn't heard of the brand either, but now i have, i love it! The logo design is dope and the store has a bakery theme, most of the point of sales being Bakery Ovens! So so cool. If only the Simmon's sisters would have thought of this first, their Pastry sneakers would have been so much more successful.

I remember shopping in Michael K in New York on Broadway and they had most of their sneakers advertised in fridges and stuff like that! i was inspired. Thanks again Maestro for another great episode, you never fail to please! Loved the soundtrack too, Sourmilk is doing his thang!

Supra Cuttler Cream

2010-03-24T08:48:00.000-07:00

Supra is coming at us hard with all these new releases!!! These are sexy. They released the darker silhouette joints a couple of weeks ago which i loved and also the grey on grey color-way. But this color-way is fresh, cream and white. The cream not only covers the canvas outer but it also covers the lace eyelets. Very neat and tidy, a nice summer look.

Ne-Yo - When You're Low

2010-03-24T08:36:00.000-07:00

Produced by Chuck Harmony, heres a new track by Ne-Yo. I really love it. It doesn't sound finished/perfected, so it could just be a leaked demo but as far as style and new music, Im impressed. Its got that bluesy feel to the rhythm of the chorus... niceness.

This is the behind the scenes footage of 'My Chick Bad' Rmx, Trina and Diamond are holding it down but my girl EVE is a bad bisssshhhh!!!! Love her! She looks amazing too. No matter how long Eve goes away for, she always comes back and tears the game up. Cant wait for all these female emcee's to start rocking. What happened to Missy?!!?!? She needs to come back. Angie Martinez could jump on a track or 2 aswel! Im hearing Rah Digga is dropping some stuff too. *Nods head* Im interested!

Adidas Originals - Hide and Seek X Stan Smith 80's

2010-03-23T17:47:00.000-07:00

This is a madness! Adidas have created a 2 in one sneaker. The first is the black Stan Smith 80 Hi Tops which sport a black leather upper with blue nylon inserts. The second is the blue Lo-Top Superstar, which is the blue nylon you can see underneath the Stan Smiths. Interestingly enough there is a zipper located at the base of the upper, allowing the shoe to transform into the Superstar, hence the name Hide & Seek. I think these are dope! Very fresh, very innovative....plus it actually works!!! I wouldn't rock the hi-top stan smiths, but i would definitely do the blue superstars. Im sure there are many hi-top Stan Smith fans, which is why i support this idea. Would love to see more color-ways. PLease click after the jump to see more angle pictures.

Jamie Foxx ft Justin Timberlake & T.I - Winner

2010-03-23T17:33:00.000-07:00

When i started listening to this i loved it, but as soon as Jamie Foxx came in, i was not impressed! It should just be another Justin/T.I joint, i think it would have been a huge hit if it was!

Oh well, Foxx is on it and im dealing with it coz i like the track! Its on the summer playlist me thinks.

Two other people i can hear on this track, like most tracks, Drake could do some damage and i think Trey Songz would have done well on the vocals.

I was attracted to this new Nike release, but for its style. I haven't posted them before because i don't like any of the colors. Here we have the white on white release and I'm feeling them, they look fresh. I like the moulded look, as if it has been vacuum formed from rubber, but in actual fact they feature a full leather construction that is almost seamless. Available now from Nike's online store.

2010-03-22T17:49:00.000-07:00

Ambush and RSVP have teamed up to create a series of glow-in-the-dark chains. The capsule contains two different Glow-In-The-Dark POW! chains. The first comes with a black chain whilst the second also comes with a matching matte green chain to the pendant, which also glows in the dark. If these would have hit the stores back when Kanye was touring, they would have sold thousands! I like them, very unique and creative. Also a massive fun factor. Check out the different styles after the jump.

If you are not familiar with Dondria, she is an artist signed to So So Def and made her single debut with 'Can't Stop' in 2008 co-written by label-mate Chrisette Michele... one of my fav's! Her album debut is set for release in April 2010 entitled 'Dondria vs Phatfffat'. This doesn't impress me and the whole ### vs ### is so dead now! That was T.I's thing!! Can't lie, i like the track which is why im posting it. I think the album could be a good, looking forward to it. Mr.Dupri has got some good talent under his belt!
