ETRNLST 2010

It has definitely been a long time coming, but I am proud to announce the release of my first run of shirts with ETRNLST. Watching this project grow from an idea to what it has become today has been a new and humbling experience. I understand there are many obstacles lying ahead, but I'm excited and ready to keep pushing.

The OG logo tee's will be available starting this Saturday at Daily Duels 6 at The Bakery in Pomona. Shirts are $15 and they come in men and women sizes. Size and color quantities are limited. If you are interested in picking up a shirt, send me an email with the size and color you want, and we'll go from there.

THE HUNDREDS X SUPERMAX

Another new collaboration for 2010. Los Angeles based brand The Hundreds have teamed up with classic streetwear brand Supermax, releasing a collection graphic shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets in limited quantities at both THLA and THSF locations. At first I didn't know how I felt about this collaboration, but now I see that this is a great opportunity for Supermax to get the recognition they deserve. Without Supermax, Los Angeles and California culture wouldn't be what it is today. We owe it to these cats for laying it down for us. Much love and respect.

MISHKA LOS ANGELES

Last year at the МИШКА sample sale in Echo Park, the guys were telling me they might open their LA store in that same spot. It's cool to see they did it. I've heard a lot of great things about their Brooklyn flagship store, so I'm excited to see what they're going to do out here. Grand Opening is Feb. 20 at 12p.m. 

FASHAWN: HIP-HOP'S ANTIDOTE

At the ripe age of 21, Fresno native Fashawn is already making a name for himself in the underground hip-hop movement. With 7 mixtapes under his belt, the latest produced by none other than The Alchemist, and his 2009 debut album, "Boy Meets World," produced entirely by Exile, Fashawn embodies the true essence of a great emcee. Not only can he spit, but his lyrics contain substance and a deeper message than the punch line-driven Hip-Hop overglamorized these days. Fash' is a great example of someone with a rocky upbringing, finding success through hard work and determination. So if you're one of the many who think Hip-Hop is dead, or have lost faith in it, think again! Fashawn is going to be making BIG moves real soon!

For the past week I didn't know what to blog about for the new year, but I think this is perfect. New year, new music...fresh start. Open your ears and listen. Stay up.
