Winter, Winter, Winter...

I love fall/winter for many reasons. Snow, snow days, heated seats, and new clothes. Y-3, the high fashion line by Adidas for the ballers has begun to release snapshots of shoes from the fall/winter 09 collection. You know I'm a fan for them. I geek for Yamamoto. He stays killing the creative game with his on point designs and color schemes.

Something New...

The realm of music groups is a fickle one. Danity Kane? Done. Da Band? Yea...no more. Day 26? Who knows? But they don't look to have a promising future. The point is that pop trios, quintets, and so forth are hard to maintain because of egos, cheesiness, and the fact that no one over a certain age should care about these groups. (In theory, of course.)

Now, let's meet Electrik Red, the newest group vying for the title of the 'it' girl group of the moment. Honestly I was (and still am) a little skeptical, but after listening to a few of their tracks, I'm impressed. None of them have voices to write home about, but I like the breathy, sex-filled Janet vibe they give off, and they're hot girls, so I mean that's an even BIGGER plus. But the icing on the cake is that their album is a product of one of the golden guys in music now, (Terius Nash aka The-Dream)so the songs automatically have dope production. Can pretty girls survive on being pretty girls, or can they actually stick around and create a brand for themselves that people want to support?

Have a listen for yourself.
Their new album "How to Be a Lady Vol. 1" is in stores NOW.

It's here...

"Brooklynati", the long awaited album by New York based hip-hop group is finally here. I was telling you guys about it a while ago, and it's completely worth the hype. Their what hip-hop should be: real, raw, smooth, and fun all at the same time. I won't go into a detailed review just yet, but tracks worth downloading (if you don't buy the whole album, which would be a serious mistake) are:

So Damn Down; Plan B; She's Gone; We're fly.

Hip-Hop is alive people! Now I just need to catch them live.

I'm on....

..so let's redo this shade game. I'm still on the crazydope summer swag. Let's get it.

I haven't made a post in a while simply for lack of creativity, but I thought I'd give some shine to the man of the moment: Jimmy from Degrassi. Also known as the rapper Drake.

It's true, he's been out for a good while (at least to those who are big fans of the underground mixtape scene), but he's just started to get major exposure on the radio front. He's got the easy-going pretty boy type vibe already, and while I wasn't a huge fan before the hype and overexposure, I can definitely appreciate his interesting way of rapping/singing.

I just needed to give him his props now before I die of overexposure and hate him in a few months.
