Complex & Waxpoetics

The new Complex and Waxpoetics issue jus’ came in today, finally! I didn’t get to read through ‘em yet, but it looks good. Russell Brand even signed my issue! Sike! There’s a piece on Guru in the Waxpoetics magazine I’m tryna look at, and DJ Amir is making bigger strides. Him and Kon [Kon and Amir] was on the Complex site, Top 50 songs I think, and now he’s made his way into the Waxpoetics issue. Good shit man..


Complex June/July 2010 x M.I.A.

M.I.A is on the cover of the 2010 June/July issue of Complex Magazine, which trilly & truly a dope ass cover. You gotta really look into the lining of her top to see who’s featured this month. M.I.A of course, J. Cole, Common, and many more. She’s back from a little break after giving birth to her first child.

What my current magazine collection is looking like. I’m just collecting everything. I need more!


Complex Exclusive: Piecebook Reloaded Gallery

For a while now, ego trip founder/Complex big homie Sacha Jenkins and Dave “CHINO BYI” Villorente have been holding it down for graffiti by compiling writers’ sketches; Piecebook: The Secret Drawings of Graffiti Writers and Piecebook Reloaded function both as dope art books and historical archives of graf legends’ hand styles. So of course we had to bring the crew around to join forces with us at Complex HQ. Sacha, Dave, and five all-city writers (DOC TC5, KAVES, STEM, CES and KEO) dropped by to lend their visual talents to a photo shoot with an insanely hot model.

CLAE Russell, SWEET!

If I can’t find the Creative Recreation’s I published a little while back, I’m definitely getting these CLAE Russell Lichen Ballistic (bottom) as an alternative, laced up the same way! Also, the Russell Pavement Ballistic (top) is looking good for the summer, I need some simplicity in my life and some new kicks. My sneaker has been slacking in the recent months. “The Russell is the thinking man’s mid-top. Its supple leather lining and the cloud-like feel of a custom molded foot-bed will have your feet feeling like they are flying high.” NEED!


Video: Lil’ Wayne Feat. Drake – Every Girl

I always like video more when it’s not just filmed. I feel like the lyrics of the songs can be expressed more creatively, rather than just having a cast and acting out the lyrics. Granted, the dynamics of every song varies and that concept may work, more thought should be put into making a video. This is more than likely the reason rappers and singers turn actors and actresses. The Kanye West video, Goodlife featuring T-Pain is probably one of my top video to watch.

Bizy Dreaming x Boston

laced_boston-ma

Bizy Dreaming is planning another move; more promo sample t-shirts. We’re ordering another small load – for sampling purposes. We’ll be ordering in bulk once we get the “okay” from our printer, Ransom Ink. Anyway, let’s save that discussion for another post.

After I finish up some branding materials, such as, business cards, flyers, and stickers for guerrilla marketing (Yup! Guerrilla marketing) and we get more promo shirts, the Bizy Dreaming family is taking a road trip to New England.

I got the insight from Complex Magazine – Bodega, Laced, Relic, and Stel’s Inc. are among the top stores to shop at in Boston.

Who’s rollin’?

Complex West

complex_april/may

April/May 2009 issue of Complex Magazine hits the stands 04.07.09, I got mine at Hudson News in Grand Central on Friday, and is probably the best cover issue since last years April/May with Harold & Kumar x Mila Kunis. The “Green Issue,” Ultimate Organic Buyer’s Guide. Anyway, Mr. West takes a new approach to magazine. Beside the genius concept he came-up with, he really doesn’t half-ass anything, Kim Kardashian has an amazing cover photo and did a great job, as well. Kanye called up Noah, Editor-in-Chief at Complex, at 7:50 am on New Year’s weekend, his first week off in nearly a year. He and Noah spoke over an hour critiquing Complex and then into a bigger conversation about the creative movement. Complex, mutually being a part of and the importance that we challenge each other to greatness.
