So it seems VA’s finest have gotten tired of A Bathing Ape & BBC. Fresh off the stove with their new creation, Play Clothes. I’m sure this line will be hot because Pusha & Malice know how 2 kill it when it comes to fashion. Maybe they’ll incorporate their drug dealing days into the line somehow. Only time will tell.
So now we see Hip-Hop x Art mixing in wonderful ways (and I don’t mean that crappy re-done Andy Warhol painting everyone with money gets sh*t). Painter Alexander Melamid has made some great paintings of some of the biggest names in Hip-Hop, past & present. Enjoy the different outlets that Hip-Hop has made over these past 30+ years.

His “Mixtape About Nothing” dropped 2 weeks ago and people are buzzin’ over it, tis tis Lil’ Wayne (shots!). But the has simple embroideries on the hat but tastefully done, I need one of these but if you want to try your luck Urb is giving one away every day. (more…)
Couldn’t help but post this instead of hitting the bed at 4am… To my knowledge this is the untitled album cover from Nas. Now they say images or worth a thousand words… Need I say more! The “N” on his back is crazy! Thats the artist in me…
Here is the new cover of The Source with The Game on the cover in a thought provoking pose. Is this a cry for help or baby crying wolf? You be the judge, dukies!
My dudes over at Vault NYC put me on to Takashi Murakami exhibition of works coming to Brooklyn Museum. The exhibit runs from April 5th - July 13th. So who’s rolling with me?.
