adidas Unveils D. Rose 3 ’90s Throwback Edition’
On November 9th, adidas unleashes yet another colorway of the D. Rose 3s, this time inspired by the bright, graffiti-inspired styles of the early 1990s. These work if you’re an 80s or 90s baby, and could easily go with any Bart Simpson or Looney Tunes tee you might have on ice. The loud fluorescent green…
Mixtape: Twista – Reloaded [No DJ]
A few months back, Twista dropped one of the dopest mixtapes of the year with Reloaded. The Don Cannon-hosted effort was 14 tracks deep and featured the likes of Traxster, Future, Juicy J, Ab-Soul, Do or Die and others. If you somehow missed it, then you can repent for your sins today with the No…
Video: Gemstones – 95’s On
Gemstones kicks one of his classic verses, one he dedicates to his favorite pair of shoes ever: the Air Max 95’s. Some are into Jordan’s, others into Stan Smith’s — but Gems prefers the look and feel of the 95’s. But his love is deeper than just style. Find out why above. Download his new…

Better late than never, right? They dedicate this one to the currently-incarcerated Bump J, who actually shares a bloodline with…
New EP: Fonz-E Mak – Octoberly
This just in: October ended two days ago. But that’s not gonna stop Fonz-E’s shine, as he lets loose his Octoberly EP in early November. Hey, I guess that’s still kind of Octoberly?

New Album: Gemstones – Elephant In The Room
Since leaving Lupe’s First & Fifteenth label and retiring in 2009, Gemstones’ musical output has been spotty at best. In fact, Gems last release was On The Road To Glory: My Story which dropped in August of 2010. But despite going quiet for a few years, he’s been steadily working, crafting his latest opus, Elephant…
