New Shit...





Okay the new D.I.T.C. just dropped a week back and before i posted it i really wanted to give it a listen due to the history of the D.I.T.C. After i checked in i was disappointed due to the direction this album went.. Something didn't sound right to me and the direction was not going my way... Anyway, i will always remain a fan, and will pay homage to my elders.... So here is one that i thought was the best one on the album...

But hay it is called "Hipsters Got Soul" so what should you expect..

Merry X-mas Pack...





This is the Reebok “X’mas Pack”. Featuring two of the brand’s most respected lifestyle Pump offerings, each sneaker takes literal themes from the Abominable Snowman and the timeless classic Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer. The Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer features the Court Victory Pump in a brown upper and aptly chosen red “Pump” to signify the Reindeer’s trademark nose. The Abominable Snowman is recreated on the Pump Omni Lite with references to the beast’s fur seen on the inner lining with white and blue to symbolize snow and ice

Air Classic Nintendo...


This Air Classic BW utilizes the subtle color theme of the original NES (Nintendo controller). The light grey mesh upper is accented by a red underlay, while the tip and backstay is a darker grey print of what looks like a repeating pattern of the NES control pad. Add the black midsole, and you have yet another clean look for the often overlooked Air Classic BW. Oh, and don’t overlook the subtly placed “START” near the upper eyelets

So after i checked in on this new mixtape put out by Complex ( Marc Echo company) along with Mick Boogie ( by the way who is killing the mixtape game as of right now dropping tons of projects this year) i liked it..

It features cats like 88 Keys, B.O.B., Charles Hamilton, and so many others.. Check in and see what's hood duke!

New Balance 420...


New Balance and DDCLAB colab to create the "New Balance 420". This sneaker is created in a special Schoeller-Reflex material comprised of microscopic pieces of glass beads. The result is an ultra brilliant and reflective material which also features a strong protection against the elements and scuffs and offering visibility up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) away. So basically if someone takes a picture of your sneaker its going to glow like a reflector! Nice for the footwork if you ask me...

You Goonies.....


These are the Puma Disc Blaze designed in commemoration of the 1985 film “The Goonies” is set to drop. They feature a skull print in black and white, upon which a gold Puma stripe and translucent amber plastic Disc system have been laid. We see hemp details on the tongue, toe and heel for a nice touch, while “The Goonies” inscribed on the rear midsole brings the whole theme together. As for literally bringing the whole thing together, we see that Puma is issuing a hemp sack to tote these kicks.

Adding to the accents of the newly added Air Jordan strap is the red sole which adds some extra freshness to this dope Air Jordan retro release. Look for these to hit Jordan Brand retailers on November 22nd for the price tag of $110.00, a few pairs are now available in store at Premium Laces.

For The Hip--Hop Collector....



The “Leaders1354 Jam” draws inspiration from CTA (Chicago Tranist Authority) train system. Chicago operates around the red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, brown, and pink line trains so they’re all represented by the speckles. The red and blue line trains the cities major lines and both run close to both store locations (hence the two colorways). The transparent blue tinted outsole represents Lake Michigan with the Chicago Transit map can be seen through it.”

They will be releasing 75 pairs this coming Saturday, November 8th, along with matching t-shirts and New Era caps.

2 Sure Shot Singles.... (New Shit)





Ghostface Killer got a new joint out called "Computer Love" and that is exactly what it is... The classic song Computer Love, but his jive ass, raps over the whole track, and keeps it so damn funny, that you can't help to appreciate the lyrical approach on it.. But what makes the track sick is that he always remains in the pocket and somehow makes it work...
-P




This is a new one by one of the east coast slept on AZ .. But to bad i never slept on this brother.. He always had that classic sound and smooth clever delivery, thus making him a king in his own right.. So you should expect no difference on this track...He also got another vetty (veteran) CL Smooth and they both are coming off real nice on this one..
