Stussy Presents Frank The Butcher & DJ 7L ‘Shoot To Kill’ Mix

For 30+ years, the Stussy brand has found inspiration at the intersection of numerous cultures and genres. One of the cross sections of that influence is where hip-hop and reggae meet. ‘Shoot To Kill’ is an hour long mix which showcases hip-hop and reggae blends, 90s classics and exclusive remixes. Frank The Butcher & DJ 7L put together a list of songs that is representative of early to mid 90s hip-hop reggae mash ups which features artists like Johnny Osbourne, Louie Rankin, Buju Banton, Boogie Down Productions and Smif n Wesson.

Karmaloop TV | 360 with Wale

Peep this new interview series I’m directing for Karmaloop TV with our first guest Wale.

Join us as we catch up with Wale on the eve of his Maybach Music debut as we talk about his new label, the competitiveness of his new team, Kid Cudi reconciliation and what 600 Benz really means.

Wale introduced himself to the masses at an interesting time in Hip-Hop. While using the web wasn’t a new way for artists to break music, they were beginning to leverage online popularity and turning it into major label opportunities.

Wale joined Drizzy and Cudder on the trip from the farm league minors to the big show. Drake joined Lil Wayne’s Young Money collective while Cudi linked with Kanye’s Good Music team — both affiliations proved to be the fuel needed to kick both careers into high gear.

Mr. Folarin did it on his own and for the most part, on his own terms.

If phase one was internet assisted independence and phase two was signing on the dotted line, then phase three is joining the juggernaut movement that is Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group. Different platform but the same message delivered with invigorated enthusiasm.

As unlikely as it may have seemed at the time, Wale’s new partnership has proven to be as fruitful as it is exciting. ‘Play Your Part’, ‘Pandemonium’, ‘600 Benz’ and ‘By Any Means’ make it clear that Wale and friends, Meek Mill, Pill and of course Rozay, are on a quest to own the summer.

Maybach Music’s ‘Self Made’ due May 23rd

Wale invited me down to a studio session while in Boston where I interviewed him and Black Cobain for Karmaloop TV. Interview coming soon.

Black Cobain is up next.

It’s the Cons.

What’s more classic than Converse?

I’ll tell you what’s better than that — treating classics with respect. Converse’s top tier First String category has been dropping nothing but winners since it’s inception (no Leo). Carefully curated colabs and restyled staples are the formula and are the reason I see more Cons on the street everyday.

It’s on this Summer!
