Thanks to my friend Kiddrae for involving me in his “09′ Wrap Up” series, it turned out really fresh. Peep the other spotlights here. Dude is a very talented photographer and his video skills are next level. Watch out for this guy!
All I can say is, WOW! Boondocks was off the meat rack last night. Big thanks to the whole crew; Dayta, A-1, El Roy, Kiddrae, Aldren and Daniel for their help keeping the the party live. Thanks to Oneoctobernight for capturing all of the madness as usual. You can peep the flicks here. Below is a little taste of what went down. A-1 and Kiddrae both shot footage over the weekend and will be posting a little sumthin’ momentarily. Stay tuned.
The Homie Dj A-1 and myself have been working diligently on this mix for the last several weeks. It is all done, packaged up and ready for download. We are super excited on the way everything turned out. Big thanks to Centre for helping us out and providing the ill graphics. We have another surprise we will be unveiling at the H-Town Sneaker Summit, as well as physical copies of the mix with cover art and the whole nine! We will be playing the Top Notch Sneaker Summit pre party this Saturday as well as the Official Top Notch room at the Summit on Sunday. Swing by, cop a shirt, a mixtape and say what’s up. Extra big thanks to everyone that helped us out with this project.

I just scooped the new shirts form the printer today and I must say the are looking extra saucy. Extra big shout to Nick Z for hooking it up with this amazing graphic. These will be available in the shop section on Monday. Check up on it.
Tomorrow the homie Prince William and myself, hit the open road and head for Corpus Cristi. We will be playing a show with our good friend, the talented Johnny Moog and his Vendetta crew. These dudes put in major work and always do things real professional. This show has been promoted to the fullest and I hear the whole town is going to be in the Building. I am rolling with brand new Decade designs hot off the press, cd’s with full artwork and tons of new tunes to drop.
During my Boston stay last month, the homie Ghostdad and I came up on a grip of old Freestyle and dance records at the local Goodwill. We rushed back to the crib and got our mix on. We recorded the session and posted it for your listening pleasure. The mix is a little rough but hey, it was unplanned and all vinyl! You can read a bit more about this over at the fine Fully Fitted blog.
About a year ago, Chris Devlin sent me this 45 in the mail along with payment for a flyer job. Just yesterday an email popped up from Mr. Devlin with the above pic. crowning me Flyer King. I am posting both items to display these ill hand styles possessed by this crazy Bostonian. I may in fact may have to get Chris to work me up a flyer, mix track listing, something.
The homie Daniel brings it again! This dude has his finger on the pulse of all the ill bike flicks. Over the past year he has brought you the following films; Macaframa, Council Of Doom, Fixed City, Revival and now London To Paris. It all goes down next Thursday, 7PM at Transit Bikes. There will be a keg & BBQ in the spot. If you are a beer snob and want to bring that special micro brew concoction, it’s BYOB. When the video is over and the keg is tapped, roll over to The Cavern for Top Notch. We will be in the building ’til 2am.
Above are some (g squared) flicks from this past week’s Top Notch Thursday at The Cavern. Shouts to everyone that rolled through and hung out. Remember, it goes down every Thursday. This week we are hosting after party for the screening of London To Paris, taking place at Transit Bikes.
Also, February marks the one year anniversary of Top Notch. Whoot whoot!
I just finished up the latest Shake ‘Em Down flyer for the Boston homies. This was a last min. job but it turned out pretty darn fresh. If you are in the Boston area, I advise that you attend this very special Fully Fitted x Mad Decent throw down.
The Winter ‘09 edition of H-Town Sneaker Summit is right around the corner. The folks that run the Summit were kind enough to ask us to host the official pre party in conjunction with the Top Notch monthly, as well as giving us our own Top Notch room at the event! There will be new Decade shirts available at the Summit and a very special project brought to you by Centre, Dj A-One and myself. Keep your ears to the skreets people!
The Homies Damaged Good$ just dropped the second single “The Great Escape” from their new project $pread Love Not Germs. The new track is fire guys! Nice incorporation of the Scarface sample at the 1:56 mark. If you are reading this, I suggest you download this new track right here. Also, DMG$ put on one hell of a show, if you haven’t seen them before or if you have seen them before, you should check out their charity event December 18th at Good Records. It will be a guaranteed good time!
