The Art of Getting Over!

A nice little short documentary about KRINK by KR, a short cameo by Rob from ALIFE, breaking down how Krink came to fruition. I want credit at the bank not street cred. "No more props, I want property in every world" - KR. Definitely the art of getting over. Check it out.

Pharell in Nylon.

If you haven't picked up the newest Nylon Guys, I would suggest you do so.

Represent an Idea.

New Ish.

N.E.R.D. - Black hipster rock music. Dope.

Monsieur Hudson.

There's been this resurgence of singer/song writers as of late. Their lyrical rhythm as my boy Nelson puts it, sounds more like rapping than singing. Examples such as Mike Posner, Drake, Kid Kudi and even Kanye West have brought in this new style of music. Kanye's newest artist from the UK Mr. Hudson, featured on Kanye's Paranoid from 808 And Heart Breaks is preparing for the release of his first album. Mr. Hudson perhaps the newest artist to be put into this burgeoning genre, although I will say he's a little more melodic than the rest. On his British pop. I particularly appreciate the tour footage when he speaks about knuckling down, and how that compares to these burgeoning artist. Check him out.

RESPECT!

Hopefully we get to see these two in the finals this year. It will be an instant classic.

BOXED WATER IS BETTER!!!

Damn Ben!! I wanted to be the first out of our group of friends to post about Ben from The Brilliance's new product Boxed Water. If you don't know, now you know, Boxed Water is - "Part sustainable water company, part art project, part philanthropic project, and completely curious. Boxed Water Is Better, is a boxed water company."

I first learned about it this weekend while we were celebrating the last days of our boy Virgil's bachelorhood in Madison, WI where Virgil went to school. It was a great weekend of drunken fun, but me and Ben got a chance to talk a lot about his new project, the initial release all the press and interest he's received already and what it's like to deal with the haters. Ben will be doing a lecture at Michigan State next week that I am going to try to attend, either or stay tuned for an interview about the product, about Ben, and what it's like taking an idea from nothing to something in the matter of a year. Stay tuned.

ASHER ROTH!

Getting it in. I appreciated this one.

ABSURD!

The Young Sartorialst.

This kid might be the youngest professional sartorialist we know. His father just happen to create Mad Men so he's had an early education in the proper ways of men's style. Check it out here.
