Check the behind the scenes footage for Kid Cudi's video 'Heaven At Night'. If you are not aware of who he is, then well you're waste. He is killing it right now, check the tags cos I put up his mixtape a while back. This track is particularly nice, can't wait to see the final cut.

When the weekends are good...
Plenty of Booze is involved
You see some cool stuff out and about and get trigger happy with the cybershot
You visit great exhibitions
The Stone Island collection was pretty impressive, I want a Mille Miglia Jacket! My brother was so excited he asked for his photo to be taken, the Mille Miglia piece is kind of a big deal...
Some cool pieces there, got a few more pics but don't want to spoil it, you should check out Fashion VS Sport @ the V&A though its a cool exhibition for all sneaker heads, sports brand and fashion lovers alike.
And you go to the first home game of the season and win 3-0

"SHATAP SHATAP SHATAP!!!"
THIS IS THE TRACK THEY ARE PROMOTING
(cue Tim Westwood Impression) IT'S ABSOLUTELY, DISGUSTINGLY, WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, A CERTIFIED 100% BANGER!!
I Wish I was going to Carnival today but instead I'll be in Manchester watching City beat the Irons! Big up to Jammer, he's the most entertaining man in Grime, had one of the funniest nights with him at Cambridge Uni, if you're reading this Jammer by some obscure, highly unlikely chance all I can say is "American Toooeeees."
Silverlink feat. Jammer & Badness - The Message Is Love - OUT ON THE 22ND SEPTEMBER ON NO HATS NO HOODS

Street Smarts
I'm a massive Hip Hop fan (obviously) and I love to reflect this in the way I dress, but I've always had an affinity with Football Casuals and classic looks. Whats lacking in the execution of my style right now is its tailored edge. A classic way in which to change this is to embrace the preppy style that is having some what of a resurgence right now, with the likes of Andre 3000 and Fonzworth Bentley leading the way with a node to the English Gent.
Andre 3000 is set to launch his Benjamin Bixby range at Harrods this season and its going to cause quite a stir.
In embracing classic English styles, inspired by the fashion of American sports from the thirties with a desire to retain luxury status, Andre is establishing a look that I am very much a fan of. I don't think its going to generate the mass appeal of brands such as BBC and BAPE, a good thing if you ask me, both brands have tried to develop luxury street wear and in my opinion have become quite tacky in their execution. lets hope the Bixby range won't defer from the classic looks I've seen thus far. This desire for a tailored finish to street wear was bound to happen, a natural evolution as Hip Hop is some twenty years old in the mainstream and B-Boys reach their forties!
I recently conducted an interview with the legendry Fats Shariff aka Fatsarazzi, for Time Out London.(watch this space) His take on this style is "A preppy Mafia B-Boy."
In switching up the look I'm embracing the classic mens casual wear that has proved popular with Football fans. Wearing the brands which I love such as C.P Company, Stone Island, Belstaff, Penguin, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren etc while retaining my obsession with kicks, sports wear and Japanese denim. Where as in the past I've maintained a distinct line between the two, I'm now looking to fuse both looks to form "The Hip-Hop Casual". I think this hooded shirt from Nom De Guerre sums up the look perfectly.

The Wackness
The premier of Sir Ben Kingsley's new movie 'The Wackness' is happening in London tonight, I'm not going, unfortunately, I’d quite happily spend the evening at a big glitzy showbiz affair but anyways the commute home beckons and I can't wait to see it. The film has everything I’m looking for in a fun summer flick: heavy soundtrack, great cast, cool theme, so it should be alot. I love films set in New York City, reminds me of the great escapades I’ve had out there and the rapport I personally have with the home of Hip Hop. The Big Apple inspires me, I feel vitalised, refreshed, energized, excited, and alive within its labyrinth of mammoth sky scrapers and busy avenues. As people may yearn for the shopping spress in Manhattan, the Brownstones of Brooklyn are a much more vibrant enclave for my imagination. Anyways I wish I was in New York right now, so all my NYC crew hold it down for me out there I’m thinking of you as I write this.
Anyways check the trailer for ‘The Wackness’ below and enjoy, think it drops August 29th??? But could be the 26th - don't quote me homes!
Check Josh Peck and the M-E-T-H-O-D Maaaaan in a little interview below!
