Epiphany Media out of NYC is one of the leaders in creative partnerships. Their job is to introduce “us” to “them”. Their partnerships with companies like Pepsi and Timberland have resulted in great energy that plugs directly into the vein of the influencer.

I am never surprised at what they manage to accomplish.

Thanks to my friends @Team Epiphany for the great gifts. Visit them here: www.EpiphanyMediallc.com

Pepsi x Zero Halliburton

Pepsi x Sharpie / Pepsi x Dee & Ricky

Pepsi x New Era (this one was sent to me a few months back but fits nicely with the others)

Thanks again!

I have had the pleasure of working with Sorel on a Concepts project we released around Christmas. I went into the project with some concern about our customer possibly not understanding the product. The Caribou and Joan of Arctic models that we partnered on would be considered extreme in the eyes of a “sneaker” customer. Well guess what? not only was the project well received but we could not bring them up from the stock room fast enough.

I had the chance to meet with the Sorel guys for round 2 of our partnership project. While I won’t let out any secrets, we do have some surprises coming later this year. Stay tuned.

Remember last years Ostrich premium Caribou?

Below are this year’s fall 2010 premium releases in Stingray and Bison leather.

This model is called the Woodbine and is 100% waterproof with vulcanized rubber and a gusseted tongue. I love it and will be wearing these when New England weather starts acting up. Very nice.

My personal favorite is the 1964 Premium T CVS. Vulcanized rubber shell and waterproof waxed canvas in the perfect color combo. Nothing else to say. Ok, maybe 3 words… A-maz-ing.

My friends at Quinton helped our FOR THE PEOPLE: SAVE HAITI EVENT by joining up on a snap back design. The cap is in the colors of the Haitian flag and features the Haitian motto “L’Union Fait La Force” (In Unity, there is strength) embroidered on the front with our event name and Brek.One’s “B-Man” logo holding a my cleaver to symbolize our partnership on the back.

This cap is limited to 24 pieces and will only be available at our event this upcoming Sunday.

Peep flyer for location and event details.

Yes. I had an Africa medallion when I was a kid. Early nineties they were the shit!

My man Chace Infinite got with NYCs Good Wood (and me on the help out) to chef up this piece for a few of his friends.

Talib Kweli already has his… and mine is in the mail.

The holiday season is being good to me… Big thanks to Eddie, James, and the rest of the Undefeated crew for this special package.

Very very dope.

Being the Brand Manager at Concepts gives me an opportunity to meet and work with good people from multiple influential footwear companies. Redwing, Clarks and New Balance are right in our backyard and we have worked closely on multiple projects, some you’ve seen and some in the making.

Q-U-DOUBLE E -N -S!!

We are back in this muthafucker with the 3rd installment (but it’s called 004!) of the Butcher’s Block podcast.

This time we thought we’d spice it up a bit with a show dedicated to Queens Hip-Hop. You know, the borough of Queens, where Prince Akeem thought he would find his bride. Word to King Jaffe Joffer.

**Disclaimer – This is part one of the Queens episode. Everyone is not featured meaning the next show will be iller than this!!

I told you it would be on!

This is the first installment of the new and improved Butcher’s Block Podcast here on TBB. I am continuing the tradition of The WeeklyDrop* and created a Hip-Hop show that embodies the same spirit as WD but incorporated it into my passion of music. Don’t let the “Hip-Hop” turn you off. I understand the current state of the genre and we are here to showcase an interesting combination of songs, early samples, and breaks – always putting you on to something new or reminding you of something great.

You’re going to hear a new voice on the podcast but he is not new to music by any means. Paul Mighty is my co-host and his love for music will shine in his contribution to the show. I’ve watched him grow from an eager mid-high school kid to a grown man of many talents. He is family.

Stay tuned because we will be updating on the regular (approx every 2 weeks) but we’ll start you off with 2 bangers.

*Side note: WeeklyDrop is not dead and you might hear Jeff’s voice on the Butcher’s Block sooner than later!

(002 is the first episode… I Know, I Know, long story!)
