Here’s a further detailed look into the 10.Deep 2009 Spring “Nineteen Ninety-Now” collection as a variety of product looks compliment the previously seen model shots. With a nod to the 90s as the prevalent theme, the collection is quite clean while any bolder designs are left to the sweatshirts and tees. Check your local 10Deep.com account for more details on availability.

Ksubi took the market by storm a couple of years ago and still today we can not really compare the Australian brand with anybody else out there. Known for their premium denim and great cut, the brand has in the meanwhile stocked up to a complete collection.
For Spring/Summer 2009 they offer interesting styles and combinations and as usual also go into the extremes. The blazers are looking really good this season and in general we like the casual look of the outfits, that one would have never imagined, yet they work. We doubt that many can pull off an entire outfit, but pick out pieces here and there and match them smartly.

So unless you are dead to the world you know that since like forever Yeezy has been working with Nike on his own shoe. Now I am usually on the fence with celebrity kickz but these are dope and are based off of the Back to the Future shoe. They are set for release soon but no price has been given on the Air Yeezy yet.

Stone Island Shadow in partnership with Bagjack have put together a bit of technical marvel with the release of this Transformable Messenger Bag. A bag of three hats, different purposes can be served thanks to the bags transformation process moving from messenger back to backpack and finally to a briefcase. Regardless of application, the bag itself fits the bill in any shape or transformation. Available now at The-Glade.

So Friday th 13th in Kansas City at the Voodoo Lounge the Joey Cuts Foundation had their third installment of "We Put on for Kansas City". The event featured Tank who killed and some local artists who shall remain nameless except for Gavin Rhone (he is a beast google him). Here are pics from the event:

Yes, suits in 2009 and 2010 are all about classic elements but there are still plenty of factors away from the trend elements that you have to contemplate. Consider all of the following before making an investment in a suit this year.
How Many Buttons?The amount of buttons a single-breasted suit jacket should sport is really a matter of personal preference, but let me offer the following.
One Button
A single button falls into the realm of a fashion suit; it's been a trend before and will go out again. And there's a reason for it: within reason, the more buttons a suit jacket has the taller a gentleman looks (yet another of the visual tricks a suit can perform). So it stands to reason that a single-buttoned suit does the opposite to conveying stature. So unless you're over 6' 2", I'd suggest you avoid a single-buttoned suit.
Two Buttons
My preference for a modern suit. It conveys height, slims the waist, and fits perfectly within the realm of fashion and classicism.
Three Buttons
Very much a look of the 1990's, it's making a come back and has been seen amongst the tailored wares of Tom Ford and Ralph Lauren's Purple Label. Three buttons convey a greater sense of height than a two button suit, but are harder to pull off. I own several, and wear most of them in a fashion-forward sense. Definitely one for the more confident amongst us.
Four Buttons or more
Please don't. I'm yet to see any four button suits offered in 2009 which truly impress me, fall within current men's trends, and will figure in as a good investment piece beyond this year.
The ShoulderA lot of suit terms can be mixed and matched, but I'm a fan of something I've always called the 'British rolled-shoulder.' Others might call it something else, but it is effectively where the shoulder padding finishes. A lot of Italian and US based designers prefer to have the shoulder padding finish precisely where the bone does. A British rolled shoulder has the padding extend over the shoulder and roll down into the sleeve, and figures into men's suiting as another visual trick - this time designed to make the shoulders seem broader and the arms better built.
VentsThis one is really simple: choose a suit with two side vents. The only time to break this rule is if you're buying a dinner suit.
When tailored correctly a suit jacket with side vents is always preferential due to the perfect silhouette it can provide.
LapelsSince the mid-20th Century notched lapels on a suit have been the staple, but as we return towards classic tailoring in 2009 we'll see a return of the peaked lapel. Last at the fore of fashion in the 1920s, the peaked lapel is another of the great visual elements of a men's suit: it helps convey the much coveted V shape.
That said, notched lapels aren't out of fashion and both are an equally good investment.
Which Cloth Should You Pick?The fabric you buy your suit in will be on of the biggest factors in the price you pay, but selecting the right fabric will also play a big factor in whether you buy an investment piece or a one season wonder.
Wool
The clear favourite for suits, but pick carefully. I've seen some very expensive wool suits fall apart within a few years due to the cloth being a terrible blend. My personal preference is towards a super-wool, with a thread count somewhere between 120 and 150. I tend towards 150 as it's often perfect on both cold and hot days. If you live, however, in more extreme climates you'll need both Winter (200 thread count) and Summer (100 thread count) suits in wool.
Cotton
Cotton can make a beautiful suit, but make no mistake: it's best only as an informal or fashion suit and, unlike wool, is going to crease like anything. I find it best in colours which aren't black and grey, tending towards navy and tan. If you're looking for a good cotton suit in a modern, slim classic then look to Ralph Lauren's Black Label.
Linen
So many men simply don't understand linen, and it's often those of us who have had the luck of a childhood in Europe that may ever truly appreciate it. But a linen suit can be perfect for those hot, humid Summer days. Shy away from it in browns, and wear it in colours such as white and cream and you'll stand out in a crowd of otherwise dull suit wearers.
One final note on linen: don't be scared of its penchant for creasing, it's all a part of the fabric's charm.

Sometimes being fired is a good thing. Since being discharged from his position at Island Records, Jermaine Dupri apparently have kept himself creatively busy. Dupri wanted to follow girlfriend, Janet Jackson’s venture, to the fashion world. But instead of designing sexy underwears, the music producer collaborated with renowned jewelry designer, Pascal Mouawad, and came up with a unique collection of stylish watches called Pop Watch. It’s not hard to spot Pop Watches among the crowd. They’re huge, they’re bright, and they come both in analog and digital versions. We spotted the collection at The MAGIC Trade Show. Check ‘em out.
The Pop Watch collection is inspired by the iconic pop art of yesteryear as well as the vibrancy of today’s pop music and culture. As Jermaine Dupri stated, “I grew up loving Swatch watches and admiring Andy Warhol. A lot of myinspiration came from that. I wanted to create a watch that was stylish and affordable.”
Are you feelin’ the Pop Watch collection? They’re priced between $120 and $290 and will soon be available at major department stores nationwide. We’ll let you know when they’ll be available online.
This will most def give you a Kool wrist game!!!

Rick Ross admits to being the Big Boss Man and not the biggest Boss!!!
On His Street Credibility
“The stuff I talk about is real. The dope is real. The gun talk is official. Look up Kenneth ‘Boobie’ Williams. Look where he’s from. That’s not nothing to be proud of. I wish that on no man. But, just to let you know, that’s what I witnessed. It’s a reality. I cannot discuss certain people that’s still in the streets, and I will not. I took a street oath, and I’ma live by that, and I’ma die by that. And it’s not about a music career, ’cause that shit, I’m good. It’s about me and being in the streets.”
On His Feud With 50 Cent
“50 Cent made a statement [that he'll] ruin somebody life. Where I come from, it takes a AK-47 to do that. Cartoons, we laugh—funny. You put on a wig, come out the closet—funny. At the end of the day, we in the streets finna drop another No.1 album, we pressing on.”
On Denying Being A Correctional Officer
“Me not answering or addressing that situation has nothing to do with my career. I’ve accomplished enough, and I’ve made enough money for me to be good… Yes, it was me in those pictures. But I’ma tell you this. Me taking that job, I was doing my job. You understand what I mean?”
