So, apparently this is the Zap Sandal by Jimmy Choo. It costs $2,495. It is armed with a five-inch heel that is supposed to light up when you dance. I can only think of about three types of women this might appeal to, but you can be the judge. A part of me just feels like these guys got robbed on the whole deal:

Hello my name is… Chris Marsol

Aka… The Black Mamba….oh wait that’s taken.

I was raised in… Hayward, CA

The reason that you’re reading about me is…You’re bored and want to live vicariously through me?

Right now I’m working on…my muscles…..oh and putting a band together.  But mainly my muscles.

But I’d rather be…already buff and veiny

My most prized possessions are…my Les Paul Guitar and my Mesa Boogie Amp.

But I’d give it all away for…Those AVATAR 3-D glasses.  Cool!

The first thing I do in the morning is…Yawn and scratch my ass

The last thing I do at night is…Yawn and scratch my ass.

My momma always said…”If you can’t remember, it wasn’t that important”

I love it when people…Sneeze and then shake my hand

I can’t stand when people…merge onto on-coming traffic at like half the speed limit so you can get rear-ended.

The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen is…A Woman’s orgasm. Seriously J

The ugliest thing I’ve ever seen is…A man’s?

I am what I drive, which is…about 150 yards so far but still workin on my golf game.

If you ever see me walking down the street…Kiss me….but only if you have breasts

My most notable run-in with the law…a drunken night involving multiple bouncers, vomit, 4 girls, a turtle-neck and a wife-beater.  Long story

If I had to say sorry it would be because…I try not to do things where I’ll have to apologize ‘cause I hate doing it!

The last time I swore I’d never drink was after a night of…the MTV movie awards in LA.  Don’t remember much after Eminem performed….I do remember waking up at 5 the next morning  with a massive hangover tho!

As you know the Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil’ Wayne began his 1 year jail sentence in Rikers Island yesterday for his arrest in July 2007. He pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon by admitting he had the loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus.

In support of Lil’ Wayne Tradition has provided this Limited Edition “Free Weezy” tee for all true Wayne fans out there! You remember how fast their Tiger Woods tee sold out… You don’t want to miss this! Available today  at both Tradition locations. You’re not a true Lil’ Wayne fan if you don’t pick one of these up.

Considering how protected and sought after the majority of Disney’s iconic imagery can be, it’s somewhat surprising that Jeremy Scott’s most recent creation for his work on the adidas Originals brand features the one and only Mickey Mouse, worked into Scott’s signature big tongue stylings. Using the well-known El Dorado basketball shoe as a template and lacing it out in the famous red and gold of Mickey’s overalls, he has constructed quite the monster. This could be a polarizing shoe for some sneakerheads, but realistically, it will probably fetch a pretty penny for anyone who can get their hands on it.

Words By:   Joseph “J. Hyphen” Poakwa

          Two-thousand ten seems to be the year of the self-aware dreamer.  Over the past year our culture has acquired a new found sense of identity through art, fashion, and music.  Albert Einstein would probably proclaim it seems that we have reached the beginnings of a Great Awakening, the Renaissance of our time.  At the forefront of this Renaissance is the resurgence of honest music produced by honest artists.  Can you feel it? 

            Almost four years removed from “Keep-us-Rawlevant records”, the Ivy League duo known as Kidz in the Hall have returned with their latest effort, Land Of Make Believe, a more revealing look at the pair.  “With this album we wanted to take more of an honest approach and do a little bit more soul searching because we wanted to define who we are, not to ourselves, but more so to the public” said Naledge. 

            Happy at their new home Duck-Down Records, the group saw the opportunity to finally paint a clear picture of who they are for their fans, “the first two albums were almost always done as a precursor to Naledge’s solo project.  With all the mixtapes and projects up till now we tried to separate who Naledge the MC was from Double-O the producer, but that really didn’t define who Kidz the group was.  We decided to put it all on the table with Land of Make Believe and show our fans who we are as people so that they can better understand who Kidz in the Hall the entity was” said Double-O.

            In order to connect with their fans on a more personal level the duo retreated back to their roots.  For Naledge this meant going back to the one place he felt truly comfortable.  “The majority of this album was recorded in Chicago, and the best way to be honest, I think, is to be around people who’ve know you your entire life.  Sometimes on records we tell people the things we want them to know about us while others we hold back.  At times I would withhold some things because I didn’t think people needed to know that stuff yet; on the album there really is no holding back.”

            Double-O found his sense of identity elsewhere.  The recent growth of his Samson-esque mane has found him on the end of some harsh scrutiny, “I’ve been called a Puerto Rican vampire.  People said I look like when Spliff Star played that white dude in the Busta Rhymes video, all types of shit man”.  However, despite the comments he has been able to unknowingly help others, “There’s been at least four or five instances while on the road where there’s been like the random mixed kid that has come up to me and said, “Man, thank you for just growing that shit out.” 

            He further added, “When I was younger I had no role models except for like, Keanu Reeves and fuckin’, I don’t know.  So I said if I gotta be the dude to do it then fuck it, I’ll be the dude.  It’s all about pushing each other forward.  I have no problem being the sacrificial lamb.  I mean you know, fuck it!  Long hair don’t care, I can do whatever I want.”

            In today’s society the truth is what matters most to people, and Kidz in the Hall have given their fans the blunt reality of their lives, “With the album I just want people to not have to question who we are anymore” said Double-O.  From top to bottom Land of Make Believe is a playful in depth look into the minds of Naledge and Double-O that is sure to be a crowd pleasure.   

Currently Kidz in the Hall are touring across America to promote Land Of Make Believe on the Crowd Control tour with the likes of Donnis, Izza Kizza, and 88 keys.

Tiga ‘What You Need’ from Cassiano Prado on Vimeo.

Canadian DJ/producer and founder of luminary label Turbo Records, Tiga, has recently debuted a new video for his latest single, “What You Need”. Its a perfectly eccentric video to go with the darker undertones of the song and the absurd creativity that is Tiga.

The world is a better place now that Spring 2010 collection from the Lovewright Co. has officially DROPPED!
This season will be first foray into denim (13oz straight leg) and cut/sew apparel (vintage jersey).
All tees are completely custom made in the USA. Fit, fabric, and prints

Here is a message from the brand itself.
“Independence is something we hold very dearly. Within truly
independent individuals you will generally find the same traits.
Certain strengths that they all carry with them. They are generally
confident in themselves and in their abilities, comfortable in their
own skin. In this way, the LWR. man is a local everywhere he goes.
The “loyal” portion of this motto speaks to the more spiritual side of
the man. He’s loyal to his family, friends, to himself and his
beliefs. He is dedicated to his ideals and his work. His loyalty is
what keeps him grounded and on the straight and narrow when the road
gets rough. The Lovewright Co. was built on this belief. A belief that
has carried it through both the good times and the bad. The Co. is
proud to represent these Local and Loyal.”

More pics after the you know what.

Two of the brightest, most creative DJ/producers in the game today are partnering up to take the OC out of its constant cultural sleepiness and straight onto the dancefloor. Congorock is the Italian producer responsible for some of the best tracks to come out last year, one of which was in the form of Fool’s Gold released, “Babylon” featuring dancehall monster Mr. Lexxx. Founder of Dirtybird Records and master of subtle house boom, Justin Martin will be bringing his SF musical stylings in what should be an interesting style dichotomy for the evening. If your in the area, don’t sleep on this burgeoning night! Check out the video for “Babylon” below!
