Air Jordan 1 Phat Low

Days after an initial preview from a catalog scan, the counterpart to the Air Jordan 1 Phat Low seen yesterday is now available via the ‘Bay. Consisting of a black upper rather than white, varsity red, white and cement grey are common features to the white model. One of the most noticeable elements of this modified Air Jordan 1 is the cement print, originally found on the Air Jordan III, not the Air Jordan I. However, cement print isn’t the only thing new to this Air Jordan I, a padded tongue and inner lining offer perfect support and comfort for skating, while retaining Air Jordan I essence. Get your pair today on the ‘Bay.

Air Jordan 6 Rings LS


The Air Jordan Six Rings line continues to grow with the addition of this make-up that is reminiscent to an older Air Jordan 9. Appearing in black, white, dark army, and varsity red, these sneakers lack things like patent leather or lasering, making one of the more low-profile sneakers out of the Six Rings collection, a look that is bound to catch the attention of those interested in color schemes over patent leather and lasering. However, a release date is scheduled for November 8th at select Air Jordan accounts, but Marquee Sole has select sizes now available

(Mixtape) Naledge / DJ RTC - Brainiac...



DL Link: Brainiac Society

Read the Full article: Naledge / DJ RTC...

Naledge of Kidz In The Hall enlisted the services of RubyHornet's DJ Roosevelt Treasurechest to put together the first installment of the Brainiac Society Mixtape series, Welcome To Brainiac Society. The free mixtape is a nice collection of music by Naledge, as well as other artists that he's built with and that he has been inspired by. Get the full story on Brainiac Society, the tracklist, and download link below. Props to St!zo on the artwork, and special props to Mike Kolar of SoundScape Studios for making it sound so, so crisp.



From Naledge
"Welcome To Brainiac Society is a compilation or collection of music that I
like, and that I might have made or contributed to. There's no real rhyme
or reason to it. I think a lot of people got confused when I started
repping Brainiac Society as my crew or my label cause I think a lot of
people took it as a separation from Kidz In The Hall, which is not what it
is. It's just me giving a platform to people that I like, and I want it to
be looked at moreso as a Native Tongues type of thing than as a Bad Boy type
of thing. It's just a group of people that make dope music and appreciate
the artistry of Hip Hop and doesn't have to necessarily mean they are
rappers. They can sing, they can make beats, DJ, whatever. It's about the
creative renaissance that's going on within Hip Hop all over the nation.
These are people that I met in my travels who I feel are dope and they
inspire me. We just get together and we collectively make art...It's also a
platform for me to put out Fooch who is my artist. It's no departure from
Kidz In The Hall. Me and Double O are such creative beings in general, that
we don't know how to operate without 30 things going on at once. We're very
much multi-taskers and we've always been that way. We try to have our hands
in everything.

RTC mixed it, it's got new freestyles, some exclusive stuff, some stuff
that's been leaked on the internet, stuff that you might have forgot existed
or never had or never downloaded on a a CD. My hope with this is that
people will download it, burn it to a CD, and just play it, or add it as a
playlist to their ipod. That's really what it is, just a dope mix, a dope
collection of music. Talented individuals on all fronts, and I'm really
excited about it."

Read the feature themavenreport.com put together... Pretty dope

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, Chitown invites you to bear witness to the pinnacle of creativity. Relentless and raw this young man is no holds barred, unleashing masterpiece one after another. Introducing Chris Whisby, artist slash creator slash designer of Exist 1.


Born and raised on the south side of Chicago’s Englewood community, Chris took what started as reoccurring nightmares and created vivid and lifelike illustrations. Using only Pilot gel pens and Coldpress Water Color paper he was able to unearth the most indescribable detail that has become a signature, distinguishing his work from all others. From Chicago and New York to Japan and even the UK, as time passes his fan base is constantly growing.


In the fall of 2007, Chris decided to use a different canvas and take his genius to clothing … spawning Exist Wear Series. The series is not to be considered a clothing line, but yet another avenue for Mr. Whisby to display his art (this time on people). For that reason nothing is digitally altered during the transition from paper to clothing.


The same hand drawn detail is perfectly mirrored on T-shirts, sweaters, gym shoes and skateboards. The line has enjoyed continued success since its initial release last October and is now available worldwide. This fall, Exist 1 launches the women’s wear series including everything from jeans, shirts, sweaters and skirts.


What direction will Chris and his uncanny talent take him next?


Well “everywhere” as the young entrepreneur described. Character design for the film and video game industry as well as an Exist Comic Series are on his top priority list. He is also considering touring worldwide where he will host art shows and venues in various locations.

In an exclusive interview with RealTalkNY, the Yung'in finally breaks his silence on the Detroit incident, his impact on the game, the record sales, the Berg friends and foes and what it's like to be a "Yung Boss"Hey, he even gives FSD the BIIIG shout out about 4 minutes into it.

Air Jordan 1 Premier - Red



With the classic Air Jordan 1 out in a new Olympic colorway and releasing today as part of the Air Jordan Countdown Pack, another version was recently produced by Jordan Brand. This bright colorway features a solid red leather upper, a dark army green and black swoosh, and a white midsole. The shoe is completed with atypical dark army green laces. For those of you wondering, the Premier in the title represents the use of the supreme level leathers and materials for the shoe. In person, this colorway can be mistaken for being a Gucci collaboration or at least inspired colorway due to the colors and the higher end materials. Look for it this coming November 8th, 2008.

Release Date: 11/08/2008
Name: Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi Premier
Style #: 332134-631
Colors: Varsity Red/Dark Army-White

Shouts to FSD

Doernbecher Jordan 1 freestyle


Every year five kids are selected to from Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon to add their own personal touch to an existing Nike shoe. Last year styles such as the dunk low, Jordan 2 and the AM 95 were the highlights. This year the Jordan 1 gets its turn. I really have a connection to this one because this is one of my favorite Jordans. Designed by Tony Taylor Jr. or Mr. Boober with help from CP3 designer Jayson Mayden, they put life inspirations into the shoe. He has the number 15 on the shoe to represent the date of his kidney transplant. The blue and black upper of the shoe represent his battle with kidney disease. These are a must have for me. Peace!!!

Womens AF1 High


Rarely in the sneaker game do the women get to shine like the men but with this AF1 High this is definitely a chance for them to get their shine on. Black Satin with pink accents can make anybody in the spot cringe if their shoe game aint right. I think these are an obvious pick up for my niece. Look for these to release very soon. Peace!!!

Peep:

"One thing I love about [the Movement] is we're completely gangsta," said Shala. "We know that we put ourselves on so you're not going to come to us with a willy-nilly deal. I turned down two deals already. Cool Kids constantly turn down deals. The record deal stuff is dead."

Air Jordan XX3 Motorsports



The Air Jordan XX3 has been one of the most successful signature Air Jordan shoes in a long time and it started with the “Titanium” colorway which was followed by a number of great colorways that have since been sold out across the world. The newest Air Jordan XX3 is inspired by MJ’s new love since he left the game of basketball and it’s motorsport’s, and while we’ve seen a number of Jordan PE’s or Samples that are for that Jordan Motorsports Team, this will be the first time we’re seeing the “Motorsport” colorway on a signature Jordan coming to retail. This “Motorsport” Jordan XX3 will hit retailers on November 28th, 2008 and from what we’ve seen with all the Jordan XX3 releases this year, they will be somewhat limited. via Niketalk

R. Kelly To Break His Silence Regarding Child Porn Case In BET Special

From BallerStatus.com -- Since his acquittal on child pornography charges in June, R. Kelly has been quiet, making no public appearances and giving no interviews.

However, the singer will break his silence on Tuesday (September 16) when he gives his first televised interview where he is said to discuss the controversial court case.

BET will air a televised special Tuesday called "R. Kelly Speaks" where R. Kelly will talk to journalist Toure in a one-on-one session where he is expected to speak on everything from the initial allegations to the final verdict where Kellz was acquitted on all 14 counts.

"By answering the hard-hitting questions surrounding his recent case, career, critics and more, Kelly hopes to close this major chapter in his life -- once and for all," a statement from the network read. "Kelly will speak openly about his feelings during and after the trial, the fans he lost along the way, his brother who openly expressed concern about the superstar's sexual age preference and more."

The special will air Tuesday at 10 p.m. EST on BET.

Aside from his legal woes, new music from Kellz have surfaced on the net recently. The three new songs are titled "Screamer," "At the Same Time" and "Two Seater." However there is no word if the tracks will appear on his upcoming new album, 12 Play 4th Quarter.

The album is expected to drop by the end of the year, but no official date has been set.

The SOURCE magazine gets evicted.

BMF Founder Sentenced to 30 Years!!!

BMF founders and brothers Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory, 40 & Terry "South West T" Flenory, 38 , were sentenced by U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn to 30 years in prison each after pleading guilty to operating a continuing criminal enterprise for distribution of cocaine throughout the U.S. from 1990 through 2005. From billboards throughout ATL borrowing Tony Montana's Scarface mantra (see above), hip hop dvd's such as Smack showing their outlandish and extravagant lifestyle (see below), articles of their rise to fame and fall from grace in such magazines as Vibe, to affiliation's with rappers like Jeezy & their very own artist Bleu Davinci, BMF's (acronym for Black Mafia Family) reign came to a hault when an indictment centered around the arrest of 65 members, dozens of stool pigeons and the seizure of 476 kilograms of coke, $5 Mil in cash, $19 mil in assets which include 13 homes and 35 cars and millions in jewelry some from Jacob "The Jeweler" Arabov who was also sentenced to 30 months in the feds for laundering the crews drug profits earlier this summer [read] by not reporting purchaces of over 10 stacks to the IRS made by members of the $270 million cocaine empire. - ICE Via The Detroit Press

Naledge Celebrates his Birthday w/ new Song

Ruby Hornet Exclusive - September 10, 2008
For Immediate Release:

"Not every birthday is a good one," says Naledge of Kidz In The Hall. But
every birthday does present a chance to reflect and take note of another
year of growth. Self-reflection is at the heart of Naledge's new solo
track, "Happy Birthday To Me" which premiered today exclusively as part of
RubyHornet.com's Inspired By Column, and is available for download on the
Chicago based music and culture website.

The song is produced by Statik Selektah, and its early beginnings can be
traced back to an Arizona jail cell, where Naledge sat alone, just hours
after a Kidz In The Hall performance. The contrast of going from a crowded
club, to lonely jail cell were extremely stark and provided Naledge with a
lot of time to think. The result is "Happy Birthday To Me", a song set in a
bar, which tells Naledge's story through a character celebrating his 25th
birthday drunk and alone.

"I¹m trying to take the perspective of somebody who is just being fully
honest and fully blunt...The irony is that it¹s a celebration, he¹s saying
³happy birthday to me², but he¹s by himself while drinking at a bar. That¹s
the mindstate I put it in," Naledge explains. "I just saw this scene of me
at a bar by myself drinking and being like, Œlet me reflect on this year.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.'"

T.I - What Up Whats Happening (Video)

Eminem Disses Lil Wayne (Audio)

T.I.'s Baby Mama Wants More Money


The mother of two of T.I.'s children, Lashon Dixon, has reportedly taken the rapper to court over child support.

Dixon is claiming she is having a difficult time taking care of the former couple's two sons and wants the court to give her a monthly stipend commensurate with T.I.'s current success, says the Fort Mill Times. In other words, Dixon feels T.I. is raking in the dough and wants her children's cut.

According to reports, Dixon and T.I. were childhood sweethearts who had two boys prior to the rapper achieving his current level of success.

T.I. has been kicking out about $2,000 a month to Dixon under their current child support agreement for the two boys aged 7 and 8.

Gucci man facing murder charges..


Gucci Mane is in a Georgia jail facing a murder rap.

Mane (whose real name is Radric Davis) turned himself in to DeKalb County police on Thursday night after a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with a May 10 shooting at a local residence that left a 27-year-old man dead, according to his lawyer.

The 25-year-old rapper, whose "Icy" collaboration with Young Jeezy has become a national hit, was informed of the charge on Wednesday while in New York promoting his album.

According to witness accounts given to Mane's lawyer, Dennis Scheib, Mane was visiting a female friend on the night of the shooting when five men — three of them dressed in all black — stormed into the apartment. The unidentified armed men threatened to shoot the rapper, punched him in the mouth and pistol whipped his friend. Scheib said the witnesses heard a scuffle and gunshots and saw the men flee the apartment, with one asking another, "Are you hit?"

"The one who was hit walked by the witness and ran into the woods while the other three ran the other way and left in a truck," Scheib said. "My client got in his vehicle and went the opposite way of the man who was shot. The landlord of the place said it looked like a robbery."

Scheib, a former police officer, said that given the evidence he has gathered from witnesses, the shooting appeared to be self-defense. "If it was," he said, "then why is my client in jail for murder?"

The body of one of the men, Henry Lee Clark III, was found three days later near a local middle school.

According to Sergeant W. Durrett of the DeKalb County Police Department, officials believe that the alleged attackers were acquaintances of Mane. "He produced a handgun and started shooting," Durrett said of Mane. He added that the witnesses interviewed so far appear to corroborate the story that Mane was the shooter. Durrett was not able to say how many gunshot wounds Clark sustained or what the motive might have been in the altercation, but officials believe that the gun used in the shooting belonged to Mane.

Mane and Young Jeezy have been trading dis records for the past few weeks, allegedly over a feud stemming from their hit collaboration (see "Mixtape Monday: Alchemist Prepares To Rock For Em; Junior M.A.F.I.A. Know Biggie's Turning In His Grave"). Jeezy hit out at Mane in a song entitled "Stay Strapped," while Mane shot back with "Round One." Jeezy chalked the controversy up to an attempt by Mane to sell records. "I know where I stand," he said. "I know who I am. I'm grown. I don't play them games." Mane said Jeezy — who also raps on the Mane song "Black Tee" — was angry because he wanted "Icy" for his upcoming solo debut, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation Vol. 1 (which comes out June 28). "He's mad 'cause I ain't let him put the song on his album," Mane said. "We was never really cool."

Mane — whose album title, Trap House, is slang for a place where drugs are sold — was arrested in April 2001 on cocaine charges and sentenced to 90 days in jail, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

A bond hearing was expected Monday (May 23), but at press time Scheib said he did not think Mane would be released before Tuesday. Mane is slated to face a preliminary hearing on July 5.

Air Jordan XX3 Motorsports - New Love




Back in April, in an event hosted by Jordan Brands Gentry Humphrey, a preview of the Air Jordan XX3 Motorsports was displayed for the audience. The preview image calls out Michael Jordan’s “new love” since retiring from basketball and that’s motorsports. There’s an actual Jordan Motorsports team from Jordan and Suzuki. Earlier this month we confirmed the colorway in our Air Jordan Release Dates page and today Marquee Sole confirmed it with the photos as well. Look for it to release November 28th, 2008.

Name: Air Jordan XX3 Motorsports - New Love
