Gucci 2011 Collection

But I must say that their authentic pieces have a certain feel of refined distinction about them. Here are a few dope looks at their 2011 line...Might I add that there is no monogram, thank god... here you go...

URSUS BAPE Rain Boots

I was just talking to this girl in my class today about rain boots. She had on a pretty dope pair of coach rain boots. Since a kid I have always wanted a pair of rain boots for some reason. These are definitely a way more masculine alternative to those coach ones though.

Lil B ft. Jean Grae, Phontae "Base For Your Face" (prod. 9th Wonder)

I get tired of hearing that "Lil B  can't rap" shit everyday so...check this track from the Based God featuring Jean Grae, and Phontae. This track was super unexpected and features production from the legendary 9th wonder. Which is a good look considering it might influence a few more people to take Lil B seriously. No nonsense bars and true spitting from Lil B. Solid phenomenal bars from Jean Grae and Phontae. This is truly SWAG. Click play and Download

Pink Dolphin Co has been gaining a lot of exposure through twitter and a lot of big name celebrities such as Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa have been seen rocking this dope brand. I recently connected with some of the cool people at Pink Dolphin Co. and now I'm able to give you an inside perspective on their concept...

Chip Tha Ripper "Gift Raps" mixtape

Today at midnight Cleveland spitter Chip Tha Ripper released "Gift Raps". He hooked up with Karmaloop and Illroots for the release. This tape with the exception of "plural" which was produced by Chip and Blended Baby, was produced entirely by Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids, so you know that this project knocks. Chuck's beats were the perfect compliment too Chip's smooth chilled out lyrical flow. There absolutely no feature's on this project just Chip straight spittin over some crazy beats. Some definite stand outs on this project are "Light One Up", "U.A.F." "Jumanji" AND "Dynoman". heres the tracklist and download...

All in all this is a very dope collection. Heres the full lookbook...
