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

A Look Inside: Pink Dolphin Co.

I discovered the brand Pink Dolphin Co. through my homie Vontae about a year ago and really fell in love with their bright colors, dope concept, and unique designs. 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...

Pac Div "Anti-Freeze" Video

Pac Div's mania! project was supposed to drop last night, but to my dissapointment it didn't. It's cool though, heres the in-studio performance of Pac Div's Anti-Freeze with Power106 and the LA Leakers. Also Don Cannon is said to be the official host for mania!

Here's the newest "Brain Candy" entry and  must I say this is hilarious. Smoke Dza talking about his Ralph Lauren Collection, when Double-O swings through and hits him with the "Ralph Loren" game (complete with a seahorse) SWAG..."God bless your soul"

Here are the visuals for "Man Purses". Consequence laces some ill bars over this J Dilla produced track that didn't quite make the cut for Movies on Demand 2. These visuals were shot in SoHo.

Odd Future X Funny Or Die

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...

LOUD



Surfing around the web i came across this emerging clothing line "LOUD". I must say this this line offers some pretty dope designs and I really dig their use of colors. 
“LOUD represents and symbolizes our freedom and our quest for a higher purpose. We all wish to be elevated to new heights where others only have the option to catch up but can never bring us down. We want to zone out and get in-touch with a different perception of reality where unlimited expression and blazing perfection run free. Join us as our minds exhale a breath of hope in the midst of the fumes of depression constantly ejected in our world." I must say that this brand has a very dope enlightening concept. Here are a few pieces that caught my eye...
