Ghostface "Big Doe Rehab" drops 12/04

The first single off of Ghostface's "Big Doe Rehab," in stores December 4, is called "Celebrate."

It's produced by Sean C and LV. If "BDR" is dropping on the same day as the Wu album isn't there gonna be some drama?? Seems peculiar. Why put the two up against each other like that??

This is a Nah Right exclusive so go over there and check out what they got goin' on.

New Balance 574 & 576 Japanese niceness

While I was over at Mita checkin out the new MT576 25th anniversary sneaker, I ran across a few other very hot (and apparently Japan only) kicks. Here are a couple 574s that would fit well into any closet. Premium quality material and vibrant colors make these two shoes really pop. The white and green remind me of the NB Concept's Tannery 576 Collabo that dropped this Fall.


Plus this Atmos 576 "fujin" that I posted about previously has already sold out. I really loved the look of this sneaker but sadly I will probably never get my hands on a pair. :-(

Mita Sneakers x New Balance Thunder MT576V

OH MY GOD!!! THIS SHIT IS REALLY FREEESSSHHHH!!!!


New Balance and Mita Sneakers collaborate on an MT576V. The sneaker is a hybrid of the M576 and the MT580. It features velcro straps instead of laces (not really a velcro strap kinda guy but these aren't too bad), print on the tongue, glow in the dark features on the toe box and the logo, a purple outer sole with a special pattern and much more. This is really a lotta stuff going on in one sneaker but they pull it off nicely.
The sneaker is part of the New Balance 576 20th anniversary celebrations, which start officially in 2008. The New Balance x Atmos M576 Fujin collaboration is followed by this Mita Sneakers x New Balance Thunder collaboration. The sneaker has now been released at Mita Sneakers.

"Streetwear" by Steven Vogel

The first and only book of its kind, Streetwear The Insider's Guide is the definitive street fashion bible – a guide to clothes created or inspired by urban living, by the key designers around the globe.

Hundreds of streetwear designs and photographs provide an encyclopedic overview of the world of streetwear, and the book offers a unique insider’s view of this highly creative field.

Find out:
• How the creative director of Burton first became involved in streetwear,
• What inspires the seminal designer and streetwear guru Hiroshi Fujiwara
• What multinational goliath Stüssy, the streetwear legend, has planned for the future of street fashion
• How to get in-depth access to leading magazines, web publishers and creative agencies.

Streetwear focuses on streetwear design, and streetwear media – magazines and website publishers. Illustrated with designs, product sketches, graphics and photographs, and complete with a full and detailed reference section, this book will be seized on by all street enthusiasts, from fashion and advertising professionals to the millions who love buying and wearing streetwear.

"Designers like Karl Lagerfield and Jean Paul Gaultier are finally given all (which is to say, none) of the (original) credit they deserve. Streetwear The Insider's Guide is a comprehensive and encyclopedic overview of the world of urban fashion that focuses exclusively on first-wave creative movements. While many fashion books credit streetwear with inspiring top designers’ couture collections, this may be the first book that focuses entirely on their roots, i.e., urban living and its resulting fashion sense."

Nike Air Force 1 Supreme Max

The Nike Air Force 1 Supreme Max is what you see it is inspired by the original colorway of Air Max 95 Neon, the most special part of the shoe is not the air but the Air Max logo on the tongues. This is a pretty ill shoe right here. I don't own a single pair o AF1s but I'm tempted by these. The release date is set to 2008 Summer as quickstrike release.

Reebok Court Force Victory Pump "Glow In The Dark"

Finally the Reebok Court Victory Pump Glow-In-The-Dark has dropped.

The sneaker comes in a very simple and subtle design, with a white/green upper. When you see it at first you cannot even imagine what it can actually do. Because they did not just cover the entire upper with Glow-In-The-Dark material, they actually made an invisible pattern on the upper that only comes out in the dark.

The idea is pretty cool and the outcome at least from these pictures also looks great. Atmos Tokyo now has them in stock. I have almost never had any interest in Reebok sneakers. I never felt they had quality materials or concepts. I still think they could use better material but this is an awesome shoe idea!

J-LIVE - FEEL LIKE SPITTIN

"I want this to feel like it came outa nowhere. I want the people that have it to feel special you know. Let them spread the word that I'm back. Pass it on before the album drops. You know… let the cat out the bag, reveal the secret."

Its no secret that J has worked with his fair share of elite producers in the past. And although this fall’s mini project is just a precursor, it is no different. "Reveal the Secret" features production by DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spinna, Da Beatminerz, Marco Polo, and Oddisee. After a two year hiatus, J-Live follows his last critically acclaimed full length “The Hear After” with a sneak attack in the form of a 6 song EP called “Reveal The Secret” on BBE Records.

They were supposed to drop in August. But unfortunately New Balance ran in to some trouble in their Flimby factory - pushing the release until the 25th of October. Once again Peter and Erik (the creative minds behind Sneakersnstuff) designed one 577 each, and utilized the highest quality suedes and leathers New Balance had. They will be worth the wait!

Price is set to 1099 SEK (about 155 US Dollars* and 120 Euro)

*If you live outside the EU, you won't have to pay local VAT giving the price 125 US Dollars.

Nike SB Dunk Low "Takashi 2"

As part of their October 2007 releases, Nike SB will be putting out later this month the Nike Dunk Low Premium SB "Takashi 2." Takashi Hosokawa designed this black leather, black suede sneaker with a metallic silver swoosh and accents. Also the Dunk Low features a laser floral pattern across the ankle/heel. Nike is really working the fall earth tones into their dunks this year. High quality material and a simple design that combine to make a nice sneaker.

Expect the Nike Dunk Low Premium SB "Takashi 2" to arrive at Nike SB retailers later this month.

Prince Ali "Majors" video ft Keith Murray, Casual & Planet Asia

It is no secret that my favorite guest rapper of all time is Casual. I've said it over and over on the radio and in conversation. The guy always brings the heat when he works with another artist. I mean rewind quality, "how-did-he-do-that?" type heat!! His Hiero partner Domino has stated in an interview that it is the spirit of competition that gets Cas hype so it's only natural that he brings his hottest spit when working on somebody else's track. Now if we can just get Casual to bring that fire on an entire solo album!!! Of course Planet Asia and Keith Murray are no joke either. This track is a good look for Prince Ali.

and check my favorite Casual guest verse of all time. "Jaw Gymnastics" on Del's "Both Sides Of The Brain" album.

Grayskul "Scarecrow" Video & remix

Grayskul's latest album "Bloody Radio" on Rhymesayers has been my favorite album of the fall. Everything comes together both conceptually for the album as well as from the perspective of dope flows and production. JFK is truly at the top of his game on the record and Onry is no slouch either. Old Dominion is definitely makin moves and Grayskul is right at the front of this Northwest crew. Here's the video for "Scarecrow."
