The video is done. Looks great. It will be premiering in April on MTVu and MTV2 and then will make its way to MTV Jams and the internet. I got some behind the scenes photos of the shoot to keep you entertained.

Earlier this month, LRG brought Wale out to Cali for their summer photoshoot. This is what you’d call a good look. Got a few drunken iphone photos courtesy of Kevin (lay of the lean guy!).



Just got a box from LRG too. Sean Taylor jacket is amazingly tasteful and well dome. RIP #21


And they dug up an old Grand Hustle hoodie for Wale. Kinda tight.

And check out the Wale “Hip Hop Game freestyle” produced by 9th Wonder off Wale x LRG x 9th Wonder BACK TO THE FEATURE mixtape
Love the song…love the video…see what happens next
THE FASHION – Solo Impala

Wale teamed up with Suzuki to help promote their new superbike, the Hayabusa. Unfortunately we didn’t get a free bike, but they did paint a mural in honor of Wale in DC on U Street I believe. Visit www.busabeats.com to check out what they have to offer. And you can see that the graffiti artist kinda fucked up wale’s face on the close up. He looks like a character from JUMP START

or THE PJ’S
Just got word that this will be the new Roots single and the video will be shooting on April 14 in NYC. Let the getting sick begin.
My little sister told me about them like 2 years ago. They went to Wesleyan University where my sister is a junior. She said they played a concert in the basement of her dorm freshman year. This was the first song she gave me of theirs. I then pitched it to use on Season 4 of ENTOURAGE. I bet they are sweating MGMT now. I just heard the song in that new movie 21, saw a screening a last week (one thumb up, not two). What’s up with all these 3D videos now? Do people actually have 3D glasses? Did I miss some sweepstakes or cereal box mail in prize where everyone got 3D glasses? Regular version below the 3D for all the not cool kids.

Say what you want, but Boosie is a great rapper. One can easily lump him in with disposable southern ringtone rappers but I see something totally different. Download this mixtape and judge for yourself. Also, look out for Boosie on the Wale x 9th Wonder x LRG BACK TO THE FEATURE mixtape coming soon. Wow.

I heard from a shoe designer at Nike that Kanye got Nike to build him some prototypes of the shoes Michael J. Fox wore in BACK TO THE FUTURE II. I was so mad.

However, I recently found out that was not the case and in fact Kanye got his own limited edition shoe, the Air Yeezy. This isn’t a limited Dunk or SB…this is his own shoe. So powerful. He wore them at the Grammys.

They look like a combination of the Ato Matsumoto

And maybe a Nike Flight 89?

You can see the exposed air bubble on the side a la the Flight 89, Jordan 3 and Jordan IV (Kanye’s favorite Jordan). Nike doesn’t put that air bubble on any new sneakers, only retros. This shoe is sick though. Not sure if it will ever be released.
Just a little something that keeps me and Wale inspired. This is one of those songs you need to listen to four times in a row every time you listen to it.
