I Am OTHER: Hipsters Vs Chavs



Well, this is quite interesting.

Host Ryan Hall visits London from the US to talk to the good people of Shoreditch and beyond about the common stereotypes of Hipsterdom and Chavs. Talking to people whose own wardrobes are seriously questionable, this mini-docu is a great insight into the bizarre way our minds work when it comes to clothing.

Part of Pharrell Williams' I Am OTHER series, we like what The Skateboard is doing here.

Eastpak 2013

Yes please, we well would.

Available in messenger, briefcase and of course backpack, Eastpak's new line is 100% leather and we love it.

Available in light brown, dark brown and black, the collection will be out via Eastpak stockists soon.

Delicious!

Michael Kagan for BBC




Not, that BBC, the other one. The Billionaire Boys Club one.




This season, Mr. Pharrell enlisted the talents of fellow Virginian Michael Kagan, whose art he was introduced to by a friend.

The line comes in both sweats and t's, three designs for both, with the colourways being black, white and grey. Kagan was inspired by NASA for these screenprints, with the tops depicting everything from the Mercury Mission to the Space Shuttle

Who better to model the new tops than the most handsome man in the universe himself, Mr. Skateboard P?

Pharrell *may* make an appearance with Kagan to launch the line at the BBC store in New York this Friday.

For us Europeans and non Big Apple residents, keep an eye on the online store to cop yours.

California Love: Charlie Sloth


Straight outta Compton, crazy mother(bleep) called....

Well, Ice Cube. But in this case, Charlie Sloth.

Charlie heads to the hometown of K-Swiss, California, to find out about the people, the food and the place itself.

In this first episode, our Charlie heads to Compton to see what the home of West Coast Hip Hop is all about. He also meets up-and-coming rhymer YG.


G-FrSH Ft. Scorcher, DVS, Loick: Welcome To My Life


Another of our favourite UK rappers, G-FrSH joins up with Loick Essien, Scorcher and DVS on this emo tune, accompanied by a very cool video. Love not seeing yet another 'in da club' video. Good work everyone!

Wretch 32 Ft. Shakka: Blackout



Possibly so called cos Wretchro's flow on this is the nuts.

"I want to be alive, not just employed."

Joining up with Shakka, a young man that could do exceedingly well this year, Wretch flips the script on his official new single, as he returns for his second album.

Produced by Knox Brown (Daley, Leshurr, Wiley), this tribal drum-based track makes us very, very excited for the new album.
