In case you missed it, last month on September 28th I opened up for Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Stalley, and Ab Soul at the BET Music Matters Tour in Orlando, FL.

The Urban Gentleman Chronicles: 9FIVE



In this week's edition of The Urban Gentleman Chronicles, I'm featuring 9FIVE Eyewear. I recently first saw this collection hit one of my favorite streetwear stores, CREAM (located in the Boynton Beach Mall). Love the designs for these glasses. Whether clear lenses or polarized shades, 9FIVE provides you with some limited collection designs at an affordable price (Typically between $60-$90). I recently got myself a pair of the Watson II design which bares similar resemblance to a Wayfarer style but the Python skin tips separated them from norm. Check out a few designs below and hit up their site for new releases coming this fall. Because our futures are too bright to not have on the dopest shades. Pick up your pair right here: http://9fivesite.com/


New Album: Rekstarr x Revolved


I'd like to shine a little light on a dope concept that shot through the brain of friend/producer/engineer, Rekstarr. Make an album, using your own beats that you have cultivated through sampling one of the most inspirational and historic bands of all time, The Beatles. Rek takes you back into the land of the dreamers, and will hypnotize you into a state of euphoria. I had the pleasure of being featured on the outro of this tape, accompanied by some vocal blessings of the late great John Lennon. Check out and download Revolved below, and witness generations collide first hand.

 Ladies and gentleman I introduce you to my newest weekly add-on to the blog, The Urban Gentleman Chronicles. This will be a weekly section where I let you know my newest designer discoveries, and fashion pickups. First up is a new company called Rastaclat, who put a twist on a bracelet line. Rastaclats, defined as the cloth of a righteous man or woman are designed to be paired with your favorite kicks and sports teams. They recently added a hemp series, a breast cancer awareness edition (portion of proceeds go to charity) and a highly anticipated collabo release with Diamond Supply. Valued between ten and twenty dollars, these can be collected and shared without killing your pocket.

I've been wearing these for month's now, glad I had a chance to finally write about them. I personally own about 12, but my favorites would have to be the SB Lebron, and the Gucci.

Miami Heat x 2012 NBA Champions x LIV


I apologize for the lack of posts this week but it is all in good reason. The Miami Heat have brought home another championship to the city of Miami, and a ring to the finger of possibly the greatest player of all time (we will argue that when he retires). I was at LIV nightclub Thursday night for the celebration. Had the chance to brush elbows with Udonis Haslum, Joel Anthony, and LMFAO, all of which were cool dudes. The energy in the building could not be described, but hopefully you can feel a little of the electricity when you watch this...

Congrats to the 2012 NBA Champion, MIAMI HEAT!

Live: The Knocks x Memorial Day in Ibiza


Rising DJ/Producer duo The Knocks recently dropped a mix from their Memorial Day weekend set in Ibiza, and as usual the boys delivered immensely. Download their exclusive mix of some Nu Disco/ Funk below...

NHL Media Day: Martin Brodeur x NJ Devils


It's about that time, after an incredible Stanley Cup playoff, we find ourselves at the final two. I am proud to post that this year, my New Jersey Devil's have the honor to play for their forth Stanley Cup in team history. Led by some young talent, a coy head coach, and the greatest goalie to ever play, the Devils are in a great position to raise lord Stanley once again. Their opponents? The high flying L.A. Kings. A team that was made famous by superstar Wayne Gretzky back in the 90's, but unfortunately never got a chance to kiss the cup. I am expecting a well fought battle as game 1 begins tonight at 8pm.

Above you can view the media day press conference from veteran hall of famer Martin Brodeur. I had the pleasure of meeting this man twice in my life from autograph signings at local Jersey shopping malls. He was not only someone I admired but often imitated during my youth hockey days. Watching this playoff run has really gave me a sense of nostalgia, and I could not be happier to witness his chance to earn the Devils one final championship before hanging up his skates for good. My prediction, Devils in 6.  Let's go Devils! #REDNATION

Official Video: Compton Menace x F.M.R.N.


Video of the week goes to the homie representing for the West Coast, Compton Menace. Menace has been consistently providing us with some real dope joints as of late.

What happens when one of the biggest hit single bands of the year sings another one of the years biggest hit singles? Well this of course, take a listen to Fun.

Remix of the week goes off to Tiesto. Dude has been doing it for so long and he strongly delivers with this dope remix of Kanye's Lost in the World. The official song hasn't been released yet but here is a downloadable rip off his BBC Podcast "Tiesto's Club Life". Check it out above.

Fools Gold x Block Party


Check out Dave 1(of Chromeo) and A-Trak throw down for the Fools Gold Block Party that went down in NY some time ago. Also appearing on stage is Craze and Just Blaze. For those who aren't familiar with A-Trak (who is one half of Duck Sauce), this dude is so incredibly talented on the turntables. The only real comparable skill in my eyes would be the late great DJ AM. Really dope video of the fellas running through everything from old school hip hop to Nu-Disco jams. The NY hipster crowd ate up every note. Watch above (for about 30 minutes) of some of the things these artists are capable of.

In the spirit of Good Friday, Check out and download "Mercy", dropped early this morning/ late last night featuring Kanye, Big Sean, Pusha T & 2Chainz. Could this be a possible release from the compilation GOOD Music album? Not sure exactly, but if this is any sign of whats to come, I would label that album highly anticipated.

Artist of the Week: Michelle Forte


This week's artist, Michelle Forte, I had the pleasure of meeting last week when she performed live at the Solita Spring Fashion Show. This New Mexico native has been spreading her talent around Miami for quite sometime now since linking up with Single House Music. Not only is she easy on the eyes, but Michelle extrudes a kind of energy that electrifies a stage. I wouldn't pin point her into an exact genre but some would recognize it as New Wave/ Pop. While she's putting the finishing touches on her debut album, checkout her performance at Kitchen 305 promoting the first single "Take on the World" above. Not only does she have the look, and the talent, but she appeared humble and a real sweetheart ever since we met. Support this Miami artist and look forward to a possible collaboration in the near future. (See the itunes link below for download)

Video of the Week: Usher x Diplo x Climax


It's almost refreshing to see Usher and Diplo join forces. Most would expect it to be a typical club banger that would get typical overplay at your nearby dance floor. Instead here comes a subtle ballad with just a touch of bang. Check out the premiere of Usher's "Climax" (Produced by Diplo) above.

RIP: Notorious BIG x 15 Years


Today, March 9th is the 15 year anniversary of Biggie Smalls passing. A true inspiration to many, especially on the east coast. Biggie was one of the most talented men to ever pick up a microphone. Today we reflect on what he actually did for the industry and how his hunger changed hip hop forever. We miss you BIG, now and always. "We can't change the world unless we change ourselves." -Notorious

Remix of the Week: Brass Knuckles x Gotye


Remix of the week is undoubtably from the homies Brass Knuckles. These dudes have been flying coast to coast in the past few months and are so consistent with their remixes. This one is an absolute smash, remixing Gotye's Somebody that I Used to Know. DJ Anthony Pisano (Liv/Louis Resident), Tony Livadas and Danny D'Brito make up the team, and they are under constant watch from the underground dance scene. Support the new remix and keep your eye on these rising remixers.

Live: WZRD x Conan


Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius stopped by Conan to promote for their latest joint collaboration WZRD. Although I wasn't really feeling some of the joints on this album, I deeply respect Cudi's creative attempt to make music for him and not the fans. Check out Cudder lay down "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie" live right here on Conan.

Movie to See: Project X


Last night I had the chance to see the highly anticipated Project X, whose most famous piece is Hangover producer Todd Phillips. This movie was kinda kept under wraps for a while but it is clear this film represents one thing, pure debauchery. And I mean that in the best way possible. I won't give away too much, but just enough to get my point across. From start to finish the film plays out from a first person camcorder witnessing one of the most epic parties to ever hit south California. It has it all, sex, drugs, drinking, explosions, midgets, partying...pretty much anything that can summon that inner high schooler in you, will. Don't expect any Oscar nominations here, just be prepared to witness a good time packed with laughs and a killer soundtrack. I mean who wouldn't like a movie that is banging beats from the likes of Cudi, A-Trak, Pusha T, Shiny Toy Guns, Nas and Wale just to name a few. Definitely go see this movie, perhaps under the influence...
