So I was thrifting as usual on a day like this, and it was awful!...no good finds! Until I came across this Superbowl 95' Miami jacket (the colorway is serious too/ 90's swag) anyway, this is exciting to me because I got the original Miami 95' snapback a couple months ago....match made in heaven ...the chances of me finding this is one in a million #REUNITED

Looking forward to hearing it all, glad I was introduced to his music, artist like himself deserve more recognition...definitely made a fan out of me. stay tuned folks.

SOBs 2.24.11

Thursday night I decided to hit SOBs since the line up was gonna be pretty ill (hosted by Va$htie Kola & R.I.P. The Ruler, featuring Ninjasonik, Moruf, Tecla, Judah Tribe & LA) ...pardon for not having pics of all the acts but I did something super dumb like leaving my Sim card back in Jersey, it was all good though my homegirl had one handy...and I still don't even know how that happened...she whipped it out on some Mary Poppins shit (whew!) Anyhoo, everybody did their thing...Ninja Sonik had that shit knockin! the last time I actually saw them preform they were opening up for the Clipse at the Highline, ol' boy threw a milk crate in the crowd........exactly...... (shit got real for about 30secs) and then had it vibing again...lol, apologies for the sidetrack. So, LA killed it, took me by surprise, way sicker than about 80% of male emcees in the game right now so do yourself a favor and check her out #Swag....And Moruf....wow, last to go on but well worth the wait...as soon as he hit the stage the energy was wild, cant even explain it to be quite honest with you. Its refreshing to see/know that genuine talent is still being born and actually exist...proud.#Jersey

Vans Luxury Collection Limonta Pack

Vans worked with Italian premium fabrics brand Limonta on this pack, which provides all materials used on the upper of the sneakers. Further premium details include the leather logo tag on the tongue and the complete leather lining. The first release will be to the Japanese market, I'm kind of into the the pea green and purple contrast....the leather gives it more of a casual yet sophisticated look. This is probably the start of a smart move for them, really caught my eye considering I was never into Vans like that.

Mista Encore_Run Away

This post is in recognition for true  #passion and #grind of dedicated artist,as such...I decided to re-post this in example of soulful hustle..sincerely, because after reading  this it gave new meaning to the the song,on a personal level... you can listen to it a thousand times and think you understand the meaning and feeling of whats being projected...yet, you're completely mis-guided.... but when the artist explains the origins of creation, from the the inspiration, vision,and nostalgia...you become more connected...weather its through relation or just a common understanding....I remember  shallowly linking the "yea yea yeas" to a M.T.T.M  look book promo they put out staring Faye, it was dope don't get me wrong but what was more inspiring to me was how someone gets a taste of sound and chefs it into a full course meal. Enjoy!

"Mista Encore – Run Away (the story behind the song)

Posted on February 21, 2011 by victoryleaguemusic

The story behind this song:

I never really listened to Indie Rock or Alternative music until the beginning of last year (2010). It’s not that I didn’t like it, I just never really understood how to listen to it. The first time I heard the Yea Yea Yeas music it hit me, I was like “Oh I get it now”. When most producers look for samples they might listen for certain instruments, voices, or breakdowns in the record. For me its different I look for music that has a certain mood to it, its sounds weird but I look for songs that have specific emotions attached to them.

If you listen to the Yea Yea Yeas – Runaway song from start to finish it has a melancholy very dark and sad theme to it.  As soon as I heard the hook I knew I could flip it and make into something dope. After I made the beat I sat around and tried to figured out what I would talk about. I didn’t want to make a song about love or partying because it wouldn’t match the vibe I was hearing. I needed something darker than that, so I wrote this on paper with the lights off, I usually write my verses on my blackberry notepad but for some reason I felt I needed to really physically write out each verse. The crazy thing is it was raining the day I was working on this track, and the beat and original song was so depressing the vibe matched perfectly with each other.

At the time I recorded this I was working on a project called “Probable Cause” this album never was released. I was about 8 or 9 songs deep but decided to scrap all the songs and start over. At the time I felt these songs were too personal not for the public something I could just listen to on my Ipod. To this date this song is one of my favorites because of the topics I chose to rap about. Rape, Drug Addiction, Suicide, Peer-Pressure, I was rapping about real shit not just anything.  Most rappers out now couldn’t touch these subjects with a 10 foot pole and a crutch taped to the end, they lack purpose. In all 3 verses I address 3 different situations all of them I’m sure have happened somewhere in the world.

I have so much music I want to share with you all, so instead of letting these joints collect dust I’ll put them up here on the blog. Check back everyday for un-released Mista Encore Music. And by the way this wont be on the new album Victory is Mine.

#PEACE"
