But for those who haven’t seen it yet, here it is:

nike-sportswear.png

What’s good everybody. Just wanted to let you know in a few hours I’ll be hopping on a plane and headed to the sneaker capital of the world – New York City for the Nike Sportswear Exclusive Block Party event at 21 Mercer Street in SOHO.

So check it, here’s a lil info about the store and the event.

“Nike Sportswear (NSW) is the first Nike Sportswear-specific store of its kind. Opening August 22nd, the stand-alone shop will be the only location globally to carry the complete NSW collection and seasonal 21 Mercer products.”

“Exclusive products being featured include the Flywire Windrunner, Air Max 90 Flywire and 21 Mercer Nike LunaRacer. The store will also offer limited quantities of other iconic footwear and apparel pieces like the made-to-order Air Force 1 Low Lux, the NSW Collection Patchwork M65 jacket and the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer Tee collection.”

“A new and innovative appointment-only design experience called Nike Sportswear Bespoke will allow consumers to work one-on-one with Nike designers to customize select Nike footwear styles. Taking customization to new heights, Nike Sportswear Bespoke is globally exclusive to 21 Mercer and launches in Fall 2008 with the seminal Air Force 1 sneaker.”

Doors open at 10:00 AM on Friday, August 22nd, 2008.

So thats the happs in a nutshell about the store. Now about the Paaaartay!

“Nike is hosting an invite-only block party (tonight) August 21st to celebrate the launch of 21 Mercer Street, NYC. Guests will see Mercer Street transform into a New York stadium, and be the first to experience the store which opens the following day.”

“The event will feature a presentation by artist Robert Wilson and producer Noah Khoshbin, who rendered Nike’s innovations in the areas of sport and design into the energy of athletes—dancer Sofia Boutella, skateboarder Shingo Iwasaki and BMX rider Nigel Sylvester—creating a unique visual and sensory experience. Their project premiered at the Nike Sportswear launch in Beijing in May, 2008. Complimenting this work will be a series of projects by artists Timothy McGurr, Heron Preston and Boogie, inspired by New York sport and style.”

It’s sure to be CRAZY!!! As a Nike Head who wears jewels that excite the Feds, It’s a honor for me to receive an invite to this event

STAY TUNED… STAY TUNED… STAY TUNED

For the recap from this event.

Hopefully they have one of these bags for a brotha. :lol:

Fresh Produce: Swagger Is Nothing: Tee Shirt

swagger-is-nothing-t-shirt.jpg

Soo… Just a quick FYI I’ll supply you guys with more info later. The Kaos Effect is teaming up with Dj Mars (World Famous Superfriends) and Frolab to bring you the “Swagger Is Nothing, Talent Is Everything” Limited Edition Tee. Notice how the Shirt matches the Blog, you like that huh? It’s cool if your sneakers match your hat, which matches your shirt. That’s Cute! My gear matches My Blog!!! LOL

Anyway there’s a mixtape going to be released as well by your’s truly Señor Kaos featuring 27 exclusive tracks, unreleased material, remixes, collabo’s etc. The mixtape is CRAZY if I do say so myself.

Above you’ll see a sample of the Tee. Thanks for Frolab who whipped up the design on that joint. We Frolaborate round here!!!

The tag line on the shirt says it all. “Swagger Is Nothing, Talent Is Everything.” Me, Mars, and Frolab were all raised in a era when swagger was Very important, but what was most important is your content, your stance on certain issues, and your ability to rock a show.

Now a days your considered an emcee based on your swagger, not your actual music. “Clothes don’t make you an emcee, Flows make you an emcee.” – Señor Kaos

I could go on and on, but I’ll let the mixtape do the talking. For now just letting you guys know what we’ve been busy putting together over here.

Stay Tuned.

Oh.. And let us know what you think about the shirt?

Congrats to Janelle Monae who released her “Metropolis” project on Bad Boy this past Tuesday. For most of us in Atlanta, we have this project already, as it was always sold at Janelle’s live shows. This is the first time these songs will be available on the larger scale though. So now you can catch this at your Targets, and Best Buys around the country. Congrats, were def proud to see this joint be released. Oh… and there is a slight difference from the current project and the previous. There are two songs added on it. “Mr. President” and “Smile.” I been trying get my hands on Smile since last year.

This past Monday Aug 11th, Me and ChicagoRilla got a chance to attend Janelle’s private listening session in Atlanta. A select few people from Media, Publicists, Bloggers, Influencers, etc were all invited to hear a sneak peak of the album.

Here’s a lil video footage from Janelle talking about the project, her musical background, college experience, etc.

Shout out to fellow Blogger “Blog Xilla” who was in the place as well. Here is a lil footage he caught about Janelle speaking on Barak Obama.

Here’s a lil footage of Janelle performing my favorite song “Letting Go” in my favorite city “Brooklyn, NY”

And here are two of the cutest ladies I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in Atlanta. Janelle Monae + Ravi. Cute as a button! LOL

The Soul Stirrer Presents – Brother Isaac – Download

brotherisaacmintsavvydomx3.jpg

Spotted at Mintsavvy

“Proud to present this. A lot of people owe at least a portion of their success to the mind of this man. (Ghetto Boys, Sean Carter, Biggie and ALicia Keys) Just to name a few. American Music as well as Black Music in my opinion aren’t as forgiving to the memory of those that paved the foundation. Isn’t Isaac and James Brown just as relevant in Public School Curriculums? Below is a 10 song presentation of some of my favorite Jawns from the Writer, Singer, Producer, Arranger and Artist Isaac Hayes.”

Rest in Peace, May we live in Soul!

This was on CNN so it must be True! Hahaha…

CNN reports: “A new trend in exercise may bring out your inner vixen as CNN’s Judy Fortin reports in this Health Minute.”

This would be in Atlanta too. No matter where I travel, when you say Atlanta people automatically think “Strip Club.”

To my ladies out there who are interested The Kaos Effect will be having tryouts, come burn some calories, “eat that salad, no desert, get that man you deserve!”

LOL.. okay enough jokes, check out the video already.

Producer Damu The Fudgemunk Live Beats & Overtime Snippet

Yooo.. Damn The Fudgemonk is DOPE!!! Dude has some beats. Big shouts to DC homie Undadog for shooting this my way.

“Damu The Fudgemunk hits up NYC’s Washington Square Park with an MPC, a bag full of disks, a bunch of live beats for the passersby. Get ready for his next release Overtime, which drops Tuesday, August 5th, 2008 and will be available as a free download courtesy of Redefinition Records. Meanwhile, snacking on these Overtime snippets should tide you over until the full release becomes public.”

Where was I at when dude was in the park? I need some of these beats for sure!!! Dude brought out the MPC and the whole 9 and in the middle of the park making beats. Couldn’t do that in NYC back in the day – you would be traveling home with only the disks.
