OH. MY. GOD.
please tell me these are not limited and will be released elsewhere. I will pay upwards to $300 for these things.
The Marty McFly Hyperdunks are releasing at Undefeated in Santa Monica tomorrow, Wednesday, July 3rd.
The toungue is the cool part!
The Hyperdunk is Nike’s special Olympic shoe, worn by everyone from Kobe to the Chinese National Team.
Most of the colorways that are seeing a release are distinctly Olympic flavored, but these go a different direction…
These have GOT to be Nike’s segue into the Air Yeezy hype. Kanye’s model is clearly influenced by the original McFlys (I believe he’s already rocked a colorway similar to these) and… guess what… the McFlys “glow in the dark.”
What better way to continue building hype (taste?) for Ye’s sneaker than this! If I’m not mistaken, the Yeezy’s glow in the dark as well. These aren’t my bag, but they’re interesting.
Bishop Lamont ft. The New Royales - City Lights
from The Confessional Mixtape (2008)
L.A.’s Bishop Lamont has a ridiculous flow, something I discovered thanks to his 2007 collaboration with Detroit producer Black Milk, Caltroit. On this joint, DJ Khalil lays down an atmospheric, tweaked-out update of that 2001-era Dr. Dre sound. It’s The New Royales, however, that give the song it’s umpfhf (umf? Whatever… you get it).
As the chorus kicks in, the backdrop becomes a rock/rap/electro mash to surround crooner Erik Alcock’s impassioned cry. He’s a dead-ringer for Bono on this one… in the good way.
The New Royales are just appearing on most people’s radar. They’re an eclectic group, co-signed by some of hip-hop’s elite, and this won’t be the last time you hear (of) them.

Oh yeah: vote Hillary, too.
Obama works out in my building.
via AP:
Despite a whirlwind travel schedule, presumed Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama always seems to find time to squeeze in a workout.
The Illinois senator dashed to a gym near his South Side home for a short workout Sunday during his day off from the campaign trail.
Obama sported black track pants, a gray T-shirt and a Chicago White Sox baseball cap as he headed to the gym inside the Regents Park apartment building.
I live in Regents Park, no big deal. It’s his home gym. I missed him yesterday, though.
I pass his house every day while on my 5-minute drive to work, too.

GLC coppin’ the new Fashion Geek at the store today.
GLC is a really cool dude & reps Chicago through and through. He’s copping some of the new Fashion Geek stuff here while wearing a Leaders1354 shirt. Big ups to GLC.
Muxtape gives you 24MB per song now!
Holy epic 12-song Muxtape potential!
I’m in the process of uploading an entire new batch of donuts for my J Dilla Muxtape. Recognize.
My hope is that it’s intense as hell and will reward you, the listener, for riding along from song 1 until the end. Because that’s the incredible journey through the human condition that Jay Dee a.k.a. J Dilla provides for me.
