The Philly bred, world renowned hip hop act known affectionately as The Legendary Roots Crew (The Roots ), have been selected and are currently preparing to make a new home on one particular stage that is quite different from all the others that they have graced over the years; The stage of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, on NBC, as the resident house band. The Roots will debut, at the Highline Ballroom, where the show is shot, on March 5, 2009. Fallon, who many had originally become familiar with during his time on Saturday Night Life, has stepped in to replace Conan O’Brien, whom has moved on to do The Tonight Show, which was formerly hosted by Jay Leno (I know, this sounds like a late night soap opera storyline, but just try to follow along). Many say that Jimmy Fallon has some figuratively large shoes to fill with his new found late night slot, but as the globe-trotting Roots ready for the most stationary gig they’ve ever held, some may wonder exactly how this new and ultimately untouched (by a hip hop act) platform will work out.

Nike Sportswear has joined forces with illustrious French textile designers Paule Marrot Editions to create something fresh for the ladies, due out in Spring / Summer 2009.
Two shoes in the collection of Nike Women’s Skinny Dunks will feature the Aurore textile design with feathers and butterflies. The other two designs will display the Les Ceries print, showcasing cherries throughout the shoes.
The objective of the newly designed Women’s Skinny Dunk was to slightly alter the classic Nike style to better suit female enthusiasts, offering a better fit, without compromising the look that many have come to love and appreciate.
The Evil Genius (DJ Green Lantern) and Mr. “Top 5 Dead or Alive” reunite to release something that hip hop fans across the globe have patiently waited several years for; A healthy serving of raw, unapologetic lyrics ala Jadakiss (The LOX, D-Block*).

The Kiss My Ass – (The Champ Is Here 2) Mixtape provides 18 tracks that should definitely hold you over until the album drops. [read more…]
After a whirlwind of a year that included various press and media mentions, the filming of his music video by esteemed director Rik Cordero (that featured UGK’s Bun B) and wrapped up with a spot on Method Man & Redman’s “Still High” tour, one might assume that hip hop hopeful, Termanology would be ready for a little rest and relaxation. The average person would be kicking back, thinking about where to celebrate New Year’s Eve, making mental notes of all the resolutions they won’t stick to in ’09. [read more…]
Leaders of the Boston-area sneaker elite, Concepts, teamed up with Nike Sportswear and DJ Clark Kent, to serve a more than generous offering for the sole that is guaranteed to give sneaker heads something to be thankful for well after the holidays have ended.
The Black Friday Nike Air Force 1, personally designed by sneaker enthusiast DJ Clark Kent (not to be confused with a “collector”), has redefined and reintroduced the term “classic” in relation to this popular Nike style. The shoe is, as Clark Kent described at today’s Concepts drop, “a fly luxury shoe without the luxury price tag”. The sneaker’s details include black pony hair, lenticular material, black patent leather, and a rainbow candy sparkle sole. We’re willing to bet that Clark’s impressive 1,800 pairs of Air Force 1′s, which are part of his massive 2,200+ sneaker arsenal didn’t hurt the chances of his design making it into production.
