Jay Z, Wale, Nerd and J.Cole had a stop on the Blueprint 3 tour in Providence on Saturday. Great show and great seats thanks to my man Wale (and thanks for the shout during your show!).
Do you know what happens at a Hov show? Hits after hits after hits… a break… then more hits…!
Wale rocking his Gore-Tex MT580
She’s a big fan of Jay Z— but she still likes me more.

To celebrate the east coast launch of the 686 / New Balance collaboration we threw a little “get to together” at Concepts. Big thanks to Lauren, Lou, Jenn, Kristina and Allison of New Balance and Kristin of 686 for making this happen.
Pete with number 22 and 96 on the official “What White People Like” list. Ok…22 is “microbreweries” but the list maker needs to research how white people react to PBR… incredible. New Balance should definitely be higher on the list too. Just my own observations….
Fresh had to put the “swoosh” away for the event. Wasn’t too happy about it either
Bridget Kelly… My new crush. I said it. She crushed Empire State @ MSG with Jay-Z… I aint afraid to say that she sang it better live @ MSG than Alicia did at the MTV Awards. Either way this is my new chick. She dont know it yet thought.
Here are some funny videos of people completely wasted in public.
This is one of my favorite videos of Mos Def breaking down what I consider one of the most underrated writers…. MF DOOM
This is how I feel right now.
I live in the world of premium denim, tier zero sneakers and thousand dollar outerwear…
…. but I remember a world that was simple…
A world where a fresh pair of Timbs, a thick (you know the exact version I’m talking about) Champion hoodie, and an army M-65 was being dipped. I walked my city at all hours of the night with a Jansport normally filled with mixtapes (not mix-CDs), a black book (a graffiti sketch book) and ultra flat black Krylon spray paint. Where I was never without my Sony Walkman, box cutter and just enough money to barely eat. All we did was hang out, paint and talk shit.
Nas’ Illmatic was my religion and Carhartt was my garb. My way of life was bombing freight trains and roaming the darkest parts of my city. The Source Magazine was the map to the promise land and the Nike Air Force One was yet to be available to anyone that wanted to be cool.
My youth was about discovering the new and the next, not reliving a previous trend. It was about living what you believed and finding your voice. It was about dissecting your favorite album word for word and line for line reading every single production credit and liner note.
This is when being “you” meant something…. being “myself” was mandatory…. and “biting” wasn’t aloud.
Basically the opposite of today.
Working as the brand manager of Concepts is not always an easy job but the percs of the job is being able to partner up with major brands to create something new. New Balance, Clarks, Red Wing, Sorel, Nike, Mitchell & Ness, Canada Goose and Timberland are some of the companies I have had the pleasure of working with but more importantly, learn from. I look forward to showing the world what we have been up too. Stay tuned….
I’m especially proud of this project here.
All black everything…..
