Nina Sky Release Wild, 'Day Dreaming' Official Video


Creepy in a good way. Twin sisters Natalie & Nicole drop their much anticipated new video for one of my favorite songs of the moment. Directed by Adam Sauermilch.

It's a special thing to see someone change and grow. I think whether the initial motivation is pure or not, sometimes along the way it can turn into something even you didn't anticipate. Maybe that's what's happening here. Let's hope one inspired man on a mission can make that much a difference.

*New Music* Hammer Dance - Slaughterhouse

Them boys have a hit rap record on their hands depending on which way they play it. This shit is tough. Beat is ridiculous, produced by araabMUZIK. Crooked I's on one.

Mark Ronson Teams With Coca-Cola For Olympics, 'Beat 2012' (Trailer)


Saw this earlier and let it pass me by. It's done really well. Not just what Mark Ronson's doing, which in my opinion is amazing, but what these guys did capturing the man at work.

Denham M65 Re-Cut Duty Camo Jacket

Bon Iver at AIR Studios (4AD/Jagjaguwar Session) [Video]


One of the prettiest and most interesting things you'll see on the internet this week.

Recorded in AIR Studio's Lyndurst Hall - a building that was originally a church and missionary school designed in 1880 by the great Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse (designer of the Natural History Museum) - Vernon was joined only by [Sean] Carey, with the pair positioning themselves opposite one another at two grand pianos. Although neither Justin nor Sean's first instrument is piano, they were able to remodel the songs in a way that showcases their complimentary vocals and, perhaps more strikingly, a seemingly effortless ability to experiment with form and structure.

Reebok Presents: Classic Sessions NYC w/ T.Shirt & URNEWYORK (Video)


We working over here, baby. Jeff Staple, Reed Space & Reebok approached me last month about taking part in their new Art & Music series and you know I had to accept. For the visuals, I was able to shift their eyes onto what my guys at URNEWYORK have been up to. The whole thing just clicked. Before I knew it, everybody got to work and the result was just stunning. Reebok let us live, man. We took over a modest spot on the Lower East Side, built a studio, I re-recorded a special version of Puerto Rican Rum, Ski and 2 did what I can only describe as a New York City mural on 80's crack, we had the whole thing filmed and documented, and to top it off we threw a packed ass party. Packed isn't even the word. We had that bitch turned out, with kids wiping the fog off the windows from outside to get a look in. DJ Soul spun some of my favorite records, I performed, paintings were auctioned off for charity, 100's of Reebok Classics were given out free, and no one was killed. Success to me.

Up top is our mini-doc. Huge thank you to Reed Space, Jeff, Nico, Anna, Justin, David, my brothers Ski & 2, Kim, Soul, Darvin, and every single kid that came out to show love.

The Talks Interview Francis Ford Coppola

Dred put me on and I like this. Just a kind of conversation with the man.

Mr. Coppola, you once said that it is very difficult to be a good artist if you are rich. Do you still think the same way? 


These days I think that it’s good to be rich because you are not going to make any money making personal films. (Laughs) Nobody will go see them. If you want to make money in the movie business you have to make the kind of movies that the biggest audience wants to see, a film that’s like some other movies they’ve seen. That’s why they make so many sequels. For them to create one movie is a risk and they don’t like risks. No business does.

Reebok & @Reedspace Present Classic Sessions NYC! Tonight! (@jeffstaple, @sweatshirt, @URNEWYORK) #weRnyc

Originally wasn't supposed to blog this but I figured a little "night of" action couldn't hurt, ha. Officially partying tonight with the crew. Performance by T.Shirt & Darvin Silva, music set by DJ Soul, gorgeous murals and art by URNEWYORK, friends, special guests, free beer etc. LES, 7-9pm. Don't hit me for the address...

Big thank you to Reebok Classics and Jeff Staple for the opportunity to do some cool shit in our city. We're not done neither. Mini-doc coming soon.

The Source Asks T.Shirt (@sweatshirt) To Contribute Some Words About Big Pun

My man Nate at the legendary magazine asked me, along with Term & Emilio Rojas, to contribute a few sentences about what Pun meant to us, as rappers coming up. Rest in peace to pana, check out what we had to say. Big up to The Source for the opportunity.

Shit, man. Pun dying was such a loss. Kids took that shit hard. Hip-Hop took that shit hard. It might sound corny or what not but hearing Pun say, "I just lost 100 pounds, I'm trying to live!" was wild inspirational. Then boom. So unfair. I like the classics, the joints you can throw on to this day and whether you were a die hard fan or just from that era, you still know what to do. "100%,” "Still Not A Player,” "Twinz (Deep Cover),” and "It's So Hard" were some of my favorites. Kills me cause you hear the type of party/pop records Pun could make and they felt so organic. He never forced it yet the man rapped so well. Has me believe he most likely had so many good years [left] in him to make music. We really lost something special with Big Pun. May God rest his soul.
