Back Home
Well I am finally back home from my Summer stay in Tokyo. I am excited to be back home, but I also have another strange feeling in the back of my head. I can’t really describe what the trip meant to me, but for those that are closer to me, you know how big of a deal it was.
It was hard walking home the train station the night before I left. I teared up a bit knowing that it wasn’t...

HONGKONGDRAGON - Floss Your Teeth
Recommended Listening / Mixtape
The newest edition of our Live At Home series comes from the mysterious HONGKONGDRAGON. I have never met the guy, but some say he feeds on worms & grackle blood during the Summer days.
Whoever he is, he sure does have an amazing sense of knowing what I like, and this mix could not be a better fuck you to DJs right now. I just wanna go bombing and take peyote...

Black EL - Clockwise
Recommended Listening / Single Download
It is very rare for me to post about new Hip Hop that interests me, as there isn’t much out there hitting any notes with me. This, on the other hand, is pretty fresh. My man Durkin being my main interest because of his ridiculous beats.
This single will not be on the album, which of what I heard is pretty banging, so go grab it!
To grab the...

Nikon x Porter Camera Strap
Just caught this over at Hypebeast. Porter has done yet another collaboration, this time with Japanese optics company turned camera giant, Nikon.
These look pretty fresh, and are not as expensive as they could be. Gonna try and catch one of these here in Tokyo.
For those with something called the internet, you must learn.

I posted this a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t allow a download because it was involved with a remix contest. The contest is over and I am finally sending it out. I hope you enjoy it.

Kids Camera Crew
So cute! What a great idea. The idea behind Kids Camera Crew is to have kids shoot, style, and model their own photo shoots.
When I was teaching for the YMCA one portion of our program was a fashion class, but this is definitely an idea I wish we would have had.
You must learn.

Po Po Summer Mixtape
Recommended Listening / Mixtape
While I have had the privilege to hear the yet released album for a few months now, this gives a good taste of what is to come from my favorite band on Earth at the moment.
I am all for club music and everyone being a DJ now, but this is where it is really at right now.
To download the mix, you must learn.

WatchMexicans With Guns - Dame Lo

The homie MWG recently shot a video for his last single with Mad Decent’s System D-128 in my hometown of San Antonio Texas!
I am very proud of all the accomplishments that my man has made recently and knew it would eventually come to him.
