The reboot of TGF now includes a Men’s, Women’s and TGF Originals line. Of course fitted baseball caps are in there. The TRIPLE F.A.T. GOOSE Flap cap shown here is their version of the ubiquitous dogear cap.

I first remember hearing about Kenn Star threw Kev Brown when Kev was dropping that wax heavy he was featuring Ken Starr on some b-sides.. Then soon after that i heard of Oddisee and he was featuring Kenn Star over some of his production. Now Kenn Star is back with this one, and without a doubt he delivers on this project for sure.. Not only does he have production from his crew member Kev Brown and the Low Budget Camp. He also has some joints with Oddisee as well as a few others to keep it all tied together.. For the most part the production on this project is banging, and if you are up on game you might recognize some of the tracks on there from older project that Kenn was featured on..

The new Termanology mixtape just dropped with much anticipated hype it wasn't even funny.. Maybe cause it was all Dilla beats, but maybe not due to there are so many M.C. that busted over Dilla beats.... I think personally Termanology is a smart man due to the fact that if you never heard of him, but heard of Dilla it might just make you check in.. All in all it's a nice tape and Termanology does have some rhyme and he features some of his peoples on it to tie it all together i'd check in on it ..
