#NEWMIXTAPE : MAC MILLER "BEST DAY EVER"




The day is almost over, but Mac’s been having his best day ever for awhile now and has dropped off his latest mixtape. Check out the 15 titles and the download link after the jump.

NOM DE GUERRE x TIMBERLAND 6" BALLISTIC BOOTS...


.. I never really understood why people stopped rockin' Timbs like that. I guess since I'm in the South FL region, I mean .. I wouldn't expect too many people to be wearing em' in this hot ass sun. But still, you gotta keep a fresh pair of 6 Inchers *pause* in the collection. These joints were created in collaboration with New York based, Nom De Guerre.. made out of waterproof nylon materials on the upper, and a splash of camo print around the ankle padding to give the boot some taste. No release date yet tho.. 

#NEWTUNE : BASE FOR YOUR FACE..


... wow sonn, I'm quite impressed by what the homey Lil B been doing lately. I mean, it's been a hard adjustment.. he's a bit different from what a nxgga used to. But my nxgga been getting mass exposure and not to mention the #BasedGod's cult following. Only a matter of time before the world embraces him. Regardless of anything, I definitely fxck's with this tune.. I mean #cmonson, a Jean Grae, 9th Wonder and Phonte collaboration ?!

#MIXTAPES : THE ORIGINAL DOM KENNEDY ...


... yessssss brozef ! Finally a new fxckin Dom Kennedy mixtape drops of some classic material.. this one threw me off guard cause I had no notification of a new mixtape being released. Ohh well, at least we found out about this shxt. Definitely nuff respect to homey's music, homey holdin' shxt down for us red nxggas.. we're definitely makin' a comeback 2011 !



#TITTYTHURS ...


... the day ain't over yet ! And who can get tired of seeing bad ass Rosa Acosta ... 

NIKE AIR MAX PLUS "RASTA"..





... lets be honest, who can forget about the Nike Air Max TN's from back in the day, that came out in that black and lava orange colorway.. you remember those from back in the day ?! I sure as hell do, and I'm kinda feelin' this Rass colorway Nike got going on (.. I mean I do represent the JA/Ras culture to the fullest *ehem*). Unfortunate that these are a Euro exclusive, but you can definitely buy em on Euro FootLocker right now ...

CROOKS AND CASTLES WOMENS 2011 COLLECTION..








.. you can't tell me this shxt ain't fly !!! Crooks and Castles have been running the streetwear industry for some years now.. always good seeing a brands start out small and make it major to the point where everyone who knows fashion knows your brand. Not only do they maintain their name in mens fashion, but they keep our ladies so fresh also.. gotta show appreciation to that. Here's a first look at the Womens line for the Spring season which features a a few jackets, tee prints, scarfs, and I'm sure some other mind blowing accessories that my ladies fiend for ...

#NEWVIDEO : CEE LO GREEN FT WIZ "BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIGGER CITY"


MAWD TUNE!!

NEWVIDEO : THE MAKING OF "SHADY 2.0" BEAT


So you remember the “Shady 2.0 Boys” track that surfaced the interwebs last week that had us all in a frenzy right? Well XXL went ahead to meet the producer behind Shady’s posse cut, Will Power of SupaHotBeats, to find out the backstory of how the song came together. Looks like this guy has alot coming, ready for our ears to hear!

NIKE AIR MAX NOMO "PRO BLUE"..


... my nxgga Mo_MarsKHADAFI just bought a pair of these in all red, and I can't even explain to you how fxckin' clean they are (.. even though he almost fxcked em up already lol). But this pro blue colorway is equally as nice as the red pair. March 19th these will be hitting retail shelves for you all to cop, but if you're impatient you can always head to Extra Butter and eBay for a pair now ...  

#NEWTUNE : "WU CRIME"..

#NEWVIDEO : BUSTA RHYMES TAKES OVER TRINIDAD


Ain’t no party like Trinidad Carnival so Busa-Busss and his right-hand hype man Spliff Star jetted there a coupla days ago to terrorize the stage and soak up some sun and fun. In case you ain’t know: The Conglomerate is worldwide, chump. Ha!

JORDAN BRAND x NEW ERA FITTED CAPS..


... I dunno yo, if you ask me Jordan Brand is late with these collaborations. We saw the G Shock x Jumpman collaboration like a month or so behind, but G-Shocks are starting to lose their momentum as of recent (.. no offense, don't shoot) and here's the New Era collaboration, even though nxggas are bussin' the snap-backs right now. But then again, I don't think New Era fitteds will ever go out of style.. I just think this collaboration should've been done YEARS ago. Anyways, expect these to drop sometime in May 2011, no exact release date but we'll keep you updated ...

LIL B 2011 XXL FRESHMAN FREESTYLE..

#BIGGIEDAY ... REST IN PEACE !!! 1972 - 1997

Notorious B.I.G tribute ... 



... I dunno how much the Notorious B.I.G. meant to all of you, but I know I didn't understand the importance of Hip Hop until I started listening to Biggie. No exaggeration shxt, or because we approached his anniversary shxt. B.I.G. always remains number one as far as emcees ... no Jay, no Nas, no Pac (.. yes I said it). Biggies Smalls is the greatest in my book, he brought real style to the game.. only nxgga that made it cool to be fat, black & ugly and still bag up bad bxtches. It's been 14 years since his death, but we'll always love Big Poppa *pause*

#NEWBANGER : WE BACK SOON ...


... Wayne's here !!! Since he came outta his penitentiary bid as of recent, theres been a very limited number bangers out besides "6'7'" and "Welcome To My Hood" (.. which were personal favorites).

Plus, we haven't seen this release in quite some time now.. I mean #cmonson, nineteen-ninety-2... really ?! Expect these out in April ..  

NIKE LEBRON 8 "DUNKMAN" ...


I been seeing too many of the Nike Lebron 8 V2's release as of recent, especially seeing that they just released three new colorways just within the weekend. Good to see that they didn't stray away from the VI model.. here's a picture of the sample Lebron 8 V1 "Dunkman" which hopefully will release sometime soon before the end of the season. No actual word on the release yet, so you'll just have to keep checking ...

Peter Bailey and Halo Media caught up with Fat Joe at Cool-N-Dre’s Lake Oasis Studios to talk a little bit about everything.

Getting hate from his NYC counterparts for moving down here. Donating his CRAZY sneaker collection, where the proceeds will go towards NYC schools. And then, a cooking show.

As far as the cooking show. I’m pretty sure that will be hilarious television. Shit, that reminds me…whatever happened to Trick Daddy’s cooking show?
