I can trace the origins of the book above back to this site. Specifically this Mixtape Memories post. Because it’s the post that landed me on Ev Boogie’s radar, and subsequently what kicked off our now fifteen-year friendship.
So for our book to finally be out, it really is a full circle moment for us, and also Westcheddar!
Drake really doesn’t miss, does he. Here’s the video for his new single “Laugh Now Cry Later,” featuring a guest verse by Lil Durk and cameos by Kevin Durant and Odell Beckham Jr. Certified Lover Boy the album is on the way.
*UPDATE*
Props to kyle g. who took scenes from Drake’s new video and made Topps cards out of them. The one above is my favorite, but peep them all HERE.
I love everything about this new Jay Nice and RU$H tape. Their rhymes are on point, the production by JLVSN is loaded with ill samples, and two of my favorite MCs of all-time—Roc Marciano and Willie The Kid—are all over it. Plus, they got FRKO to do the cover, who you may remember from his work with Action Bronson.
Do yourself a favor and go pump this fly underground rap shit right now.
Topps is killing it right now with their Project 2020 collection. This King Saladeen redesign of Don Mattingly’s 1984 rookie might be the dopest baseball card I’ve ever seen.
Head over to Topps to cop. But hurry, it’s only available for 48 hours!
Today is the 20th anniversary of this absolutely classic hip-hop photo, taken in Harlem on September 29th, 1998 for XXL by the legendary Gordon Parks. See fold-out cover below, along with a reference guide to everyone in the picture…
Dope The New Yorker cover this week by Kadir Nelson. Read about it HERE.
With everyone anticipating Lebron’s next move, ESPN commissioned artists from each NBA city to create billboards that lure him to play for their home team. See the Knicks one above, the Nets one below, and the rest HERE.
Look what the Contact High Project uncovered—Nas, 2Pac and Redman in the same photo?! Crazy.
