Thugs with Tambourines

Norwegian's Afeeliated keeps it raw. But who would've thought you could have underground hip-hop artists bumpin' heads with tambourines? Pretty good cinematography for a rap video, though.

Bringin' It Back to 2002

Birdy Nam Nam. We used to be Nam Nam's back in the day (remember Meta.4?). It's just that these guys are 10 times as cool. Thanks Nina.

EYESCREAM For Nigo & Hiroshi Fujiwara

My local heroes from the East, legendary Japanese entrepreneurs/designers Nigo and Hiroshi Fujiwara, have always been great influences for me since they started takin' over with their advertising methods, classy hip-hop style, and creativity that's a step beyond godly.

HIT + RUN Reinvent The T-Shirt, Hip-Hop, Mashups

It's good to see these guys tearing up the scene where art has kind of stagnated.

This Is How You Flip Over Milkcrates on the Streets of San Francisco

In comes the poet, "Yo play that beat again, son, I'ma lay down a piece." In comes the beat box and then a freestyle completely takes off. Times like these where I kind of wonder where all the lyricists have gone in my inner circle.

3sixteen's "Knowledge" T-Shirt Holds The Key

Q-Tip once said, "Okay, if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock." Word of mouth gets its printed treatment on this monochrome take with the crew's new logo graphic on the left sleeve with swords. A woven logo label lays on the front left waist. Grab it here.

3sixteen's Holiday Collection

By far the craziest collection I've seen this Winter. Peep it.
