Emy Meets Tulisa


This is my favourite interview of the week.

'What's Fazer like? Is he as annoying as Dappy?'

Big up Emy.

Opening Ceremony: A Fairytale


Seminal New York clothing store Opening Ceremony has gone from strength to strength over the years. I remember buying my first pair of Cheap Mondays in the original New York store in around 2005, swooning at their choice of designers like Acne and APC in 2008, and now they have branches in London, LA, another in New York and so on as well as designing their own line for Kenzo.

Founded by uni pals Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, their collaborations with Spike Lee and Chloe Sevingny have been met with huge acclaim (and reams of press).

To celebrate not only their incredible success but their love and passion for fashion, art, music and film, the pair have teamed with Rizzoli for a new book, out now.

Check the video above for a pretttty cute history into their humble beginnings.

Trailer: Luv


This new film from director Sheldon Candis was very well received at this year's Sundance.

Starring Common and newcomer Michael Rainey Jr., the film focusses on a day off school as 'Vincent' (Common) takes his nephew Woody (Rainey Jr.) on a tour of Baltimore. Trying to teach him how to be a man and how to survive, the day inevitably takes a dark turn as Common's no-good ways return to haunt them both.

This looks beautifully acted and shot. Look forward to November when Luv is released.

G.O.O.D Friday: Clique

  
Kanye teams up with Jay-Z and Big Sean on this Hit-Boy produced minimalist drum-led track. The tune has already become renowned for Kanye's reference to Kim K's Ray J sex tape from a few years ago.

'Eat breakfast at Gucci. My girl a superstar all from a home movie.' Saucy.

Can we also talk about the Jay Kelis diss? Um, OUCH!

'Yeah I'm talking Yay, Yeah I'm talking Ri, Yeah I'm talking Be, Yeah I'm talking me, I'm talking bawse, I ain't talking Kelis/ Your money too short you can't be talking to me.'

The G.O.O.D music crew are currently holed up with Mr. Hudson, Malik Yusef and Ghostface preparing their collaboration album Cold Summer.

BAPE X Street Fighter

Funnily enough, I used to be amazing at Street Fighter. Not through any joystick style tactics, I just used to hit all the buttons at once.

It worked.

Anyway, to celebrate 25 years of the game, BAPE and Street Fighter have joined up on a series of limited edition t's.

Hot stuff.

Available from the BAPE store in Kyoto, the Dover Street market, or online here.

A$AP Ft Flatbush Zombies: Bath Salt



Weird. In a word.
