The latest project engineered by Es Nine (3 The Hardway) and produced by a list of the industry’s top talents including Metty Dertmerchant (Sweatshop Union) DJ Babu (Dilated Peoples/Beat Junkies), and more, “For Better or Worse” presents the hip-hop faithful with more of what they’ve come to expect from the best-kept secret in the business. Head-bangin’ tracks featuring appearances from Rhias (Air Dubai), Metty Dertmerchant (Sweatshop Union), Evidence (Dilated Peoples), and Fashawn (rated MC #4 on XXL Magazine’s “Freshman 2010: A New Breed of Hustler” awards) insures no one leaves disappointed. Respected as one of the most passionate underground talents in the game, A.V.I.U.S. hit fans with his rookie effort “Patience” in 2007 and was selected in the Village Voice Media (Westword) as one of the top Hip Hop Colorado albums, making the list for the “2007 Movers and Shakers” award then following with his group’s debut album “Set in Stone” last year, earning honors as the Westword’s Hip Hop Album of the Year. In 2010 A.V.I.U.S. is striking back with his sophomore solo contribution, showcasing prolific gifts of prose and poetry and proving music is his life’s calling. No matter how fierce the struggle, how hostile the journey, how severe the challenge, A.V.I.U.S. will never quit… “For Better or Worse”. "Carry It Home" Ft. Rhias Download Here DF* Want one?

Scraper bikes began as low-budget analogs to the colorful, big-rimmed cars—also called scrapers—often seen cruising around east Oakland. Tricked-out scavenged frames with foil, colored tape, and candy wrappers, the bikes are a resourceful homage. Until recently they were a purely local phenomenon. But after a cameo in a YouTube rap video, prominent placement in the first-ever solar-powered hip-hop festival, and support from Bay Area businesses and museums, the bikes are garnering worldwide attention. Many people see potential in the maturing scraper bike movement; they hope the enterprising youth behind it can be a positive force for change in Oakland.
Tyrone Stevenson, the “Scraper Bike King” who pioneered the bikes, has played an energetic role in popularizing them. He sells them to places as far away as Germany, and teaches people to build them in the informal workshops he holds in his backyard. Andre Ernest, director of the Super Innovative Teens nonprofit, believes Stevenson has already made an impact. “He’s helping the kids who would otherwise be on the street,” Ernest told the Christian Science Monitor. According to Wiretap, Stevenson recently applied for a small business grant and is working to patent his design. He hopes to open a shop where he can continue to teach bike-building skills. “If we had a center, where a lot of kids could just come, I feel deep in my heart that would really reduce a lot of the crime,” he says.

DF* (via LikeCool) With the Suns/Lakers Western Conference Finals jumping off next Monday at Staples Center, and Los Angeles officially boycotting the state of Arizona, you know we had to cook a real special shirt up for our hometeam. No disrespect to our friends, family and loyal customers in Cali- it’s just that we’re wishing good “luck” to the rivals we lovingly refer to as the “Fakers”. Oh, and the one-finger salute our Lucky Charms-inspired mascot has on display? He’s just saying “Good luck! Let’s see who’s #1!” We certainly hope nobody reads this message of goodwill wrong and think is says “Fuck the Lakers!”
The “Luck to the Fakers” tee is now available in the BF online store, and we’re taking pre-orders for the shirt tomorrow at the Flagship in Tempe- look for the tees to show up later this week. And don’t sweat it, L.A.- we’ll be dropping a tee for you guys in the coming days, too, but like we said: gotta rep the home team first. Magically delicious! DF* (via BobbyFresh) |
