RIP Baatin (I know I'm late)


Slum Village are such great contributers to the hip hop community, not too mention one of my biggest influences musically. I just read an article on allhiphop w T3 about them getting baatin back in the studio for a Slum Village reunion album.
Damn.

BILLY THE ARTIST


The fusion of art and fashion. Here are brand new limited edition timepieces by Billy the Artist for the Swatch CreArt Collection launching earlier last week. Originated in 1986 with pieces designed by famed artist Keith Haring, this collection introduces a mainstream audience to the world of abstract creativity by giving consumers the opportunity to purchase “wearable” art.
In what he calls “Urban Primitive,” Billy the Artist specializes in modern day pop art – a kaleidoscope of puzzle-like images that celebrate the diversity and joy of the human spirit. His bold, distinctive style moves easily from art galleries to commercial venues and from small-scale projects to enormous urban murals. His signature approach to design can be discerned in the two pieces he has created for Swatch, which are aptly named ‘Afterdark‘ and ‘Morning Glow‘. Both pieces encapsulate the idea of the joy of life through vibrant colors and distinct visual designs



“My philosophies are to ‘create your own reality and no plan B’. I think my watches with their wide open eyes and playful spirit represent that. When people are wearing my watches and look down at them I want them to feel that positive happy spirit that is awake in my art and my spirit.” – Billy The Artist

Meet Paul Leli


Meet Paul Leli. Remember the super talented Toronto based artist who painted Lil Wayne with his Grammy Award? Weezy liked it so much it’s hanging in his condo in Miami (pictured below).
Paul’s at it again, but this time for T.O.’s own Drizzy Drake.






KANYE x LOUIS VUITTON SNEAKERS

As time winds down for the release of the anticipated Kanye x LV sneaker collaboration more pics have surfaced the web of the actual shoes. The quality seems to be precise and looking better made than the average pair of sneakers but will the high price points of Louis Vuitton drive away the sneaker collecting consumers? You be the judge.

THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE TRAILER


Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
The Girlfriend Experience is five days in the life of Chelsea (adult film star Sasha Grey), an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers more than sex to her clients, but companionship and conversation – "the girlfriend experience." Chelsea thinks she has her life totally under control—she feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend (Chris Santos) who accepts her lifestyle. But when you're in the business of meeting people, you never know who you're going to meet.

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to my official blog.... Enjoy!
