A Song A Day...

I have decided that as a lover of music I would post a song a day on this blog… As well as posting a song a day I’m going to continue to have hella music related content. The songs of the day may have a theme eventually, but as of right now I’m just gonna post 1 joint a day that is either classic, represents the mood/day/etc. or it could just be something that pops into my head....

Derrick Rose is an NBA All-Star Reserve

Finally we got someone in the All-Star game again. You figure all these top 5 draft picks we’ve had over the years we’d have at least one all-star out the bunch… well it finally paid off as Chicago native and Bull Derrick Rose was chosen to be a back-up in the all-star game to Allen Iverson who’s in based off legend and fan voting (which i really have no problem with).  I...

Yes… i know WE of all people are late with this post… but i had seen this art & track list a week ago and heard it wasn’t totally official, and upon further review it may not be the absolute FINAL edit. Either way… Traffic is one of the best tracks I’ve heard in a minute. I’ve heard probably half of these joints, maybe a little more than half and I am...

Jugrnaut x Mr. Tastees Crew

Very well executed crew neck collaboration from the Jugrnaut team and Mr. Tastees. I am really impressed with the visual and choice of color on this one.  If I could make one complaint it would be that the sleeve “patches” were actually patches rather than screen prints. Otherwise this looks like an excellent product and I’m very excited to see where these guys can go from...

Recent Music Reviews...

from my post @ RubyHornet Front to Back has returned for 2010 with a slightly new format. Instead of rating the albums with a conventional ratings system we’ve decided to just give you an in-depth review of each album. Same great reviews, no arbitrary ass rating and maybe just a little more personality and opinion than you’re used to. This week’s crop of reviews is interesting...
