one of the events leading up to the world basketball festival was the make something! workshop, where children from the local communities were given a chance to participate in art workshops and try their hand at designing some custom kicks.

one of the creations that came out of this event was the ultimate brand mash-up: a nike x jordan brand x converse hybrid model. taking some cues from the hyperdunk 2010, you can see the jordan influence in the form of a jumpman logo on the top strap, with a little converse hit on the back heel.

check the pictures to follow and peep my man goto in the video afterwards speaking on how it all came together.

props to SneakerNews.

visuals from black milk’s first single from his upcoming lp, “album of the year.” could turn out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy…

this will be in heavy rotation. my man royce had the weakest verse though imo. black mk > elzhi > royce.

props to SoundCircuit.

ahh, sweet dude’s own dekk teams up with pdx rapper/singer illaj to drop their album, free of charge and full of funky music that will have you struggling to classify it.

but don’t even try; hip-hop, pop, electro-synth, indie rock and much more all come together with songs that make me think i’m listening to some 80s throwback shit, and other tracks that sound like they are straight from 3030 (no deltron).

a snippet from the press release:

Beats-a-plenty, genre bending, Autotune loving, content compelling, in part inspired by nothing and everything all at the same time. Moxie Black’s debut album, How Did This Happen?, combines the even-tempered Dekk—his meticulously infused indie-pop inspired arrangements, R&B melodies, and electro-pop production—with iLLA’s swagger—his confident bravado, out of the box cadences, and crass attitude.

saw this on my facebook feed earlier, thought it was fucking hilarious. he sounded pretty on point when he mimicked singing the chorus surprisingly.

“you know why i don’t relate to it? because it’s FUCKING STUPID.”

haha.

to promote the release of the infrareds and also their own collabo t-shirt with import model justene jaro, primitive shoes released this little behind the scenes clip with some very nice shots. check out the rest of the pics and a little t&a q&a here.

and just because i liked the music in the entourage trailer so much, here’s the official video for “spanish sahara” from foals. their album “Total Life Forever” is pretty sweet too, will have to give it a couple more spins to let it soak in.

yeah i’m a couple weeks late, but here’s the trailer for season 7 regardless. hopefully they pick up the quality because last season was not that good if you ask me. no more meadow soprano for turtle it looks like?
