Before I even get started, I have to give major daps to my GBK/NS posse for always keeping it extra gully when it comes to their shoe game…..Planet, Rashad, Sha, Jewelz, & Fooders always kept me on my toes….Nuff respect..

Now that I got that out of way- let’s get down to business…

When it comes to AF1’s, I’m in my own zone……Some dudes love white on whites (I know they are classic and all that, but I can’t fuck with them)…….Some dudes check for rainbow colors, and all types of crazy combinations….Me, I try to keep it simple…

I never claimed to be like one of these corny so-called “AF1 aficionados” who think they know everything….I’m just a B-Boy that knows what he likes……..So strap on your helmet, grab some popcorn, and brace yourself for five rounds of headbangers….

1..”Olive Wreck”……

HAHAHAHA……..Yes indeed…….Olive, with a nice grey color combination….. Can’t forget the olive sole…..These are just out of control…..PERIOD……

Whenever I wear these scorchers, I can tell that fools are ready to push the panic button……

2..”Red & Black Pressure”…….

Classic Jordan color scheme……….I copped these on one of my annual visits to see my family in the Cayman Islands (Georgetown Stand Up)……….WHEW….Never wore these, but I know when I do, it’s curtains…..

3..”True Blue”

Simple blue pressure with a hint of grey…….Ill clear soles make this AF1 one of my personal favorites……I have never seen anyone with a pair of these joints anywhere…….Can you say fresh ?

4…”Maroon Monsters”

Why do I call these maroon monsters ? Because whenever I decide to rock these, cats on the avenue are going to run for their lives….HAHAHAHAH………These are actually a AF1/ Air Max hybrid that belong in a museum instead of my closet…….

NASTY !!!!!

5..”Camo Wreck”.

Peep these digital camouflage, steel toe burners……..You rock these when the mosh pit gets a little too rowdy, and you want to make your presence felt in the worst way….HAHAHA…….Yeah famz, steel toe joints…….

Instead of rocking Timbo’s you can wear these and still hold the fort down……..I have never worn these, but when I do it’s LIGHTS OUT ON THE BLOCK……

So that pretty much wraps it up……..Big shout out to my ace, Kid Dyno from Daily Diggers for helping make this happen on a moments notice (I know for a fact your going to come with some official heat)………Head over to his spot to see how he gets down for his….

PEEP

My Z brother Kufu One never ceases to amaze me…….While many graffiti artist are fully disconnected from Hip Hop, Kufu is a full fledged Hip Hop student, community organizer, youth counselor, and an all around stand up dude……

He recently hit me off with this link of him dropping serious jewelry on Berkley’s K.P.F.A. radio……Take a listen, you might just learn something fam…..

Peace to the whole crew out there in East Oakland……

TAKE A LISTEN…..

* This piece by Kufu & Big Prize Onerz…….Click on the pic for full examination….

Ahhhhhhh, nothing like Sunday morning……..After last nights excessive drinking, bar fights, and all that other wild shit-perhaps you need something nice and mellow to help boost your Sunday morning morale….

Here you go famz, “The Latin Kick” is a monster combination of Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and Batucada grooves that will move you in the right direction….

YOU BETTER CHECK IN !!!!!

Ed lover returns for more high powered hi-jinx with episode 19……Ed has carved out a nice little lane for himself with his brand of comedy……

Still waiting on that T.V. show….

Justin Beiber, Vado, Wacka Flacka, BET, Antoine Dodson, and a couple other well deserving targets get put on full blast…..HAHAHA.

Brace yourself for heavy laughter fits….

Former Maspyke producer “Roddy Rod”, is no slouch when it comes to assembling flavorful beats……Now as a member of the Low Budget Crew (Kev Brown, Oddisee, Kenn Star, Cy Young, Taimbr, Quartermaine, etc) I’m quite sure he will continue to deliver the goods…

Take a listen to this re-release of Oakwood Grain (Jazzy Sport Records Japan)…..

HERE…..

I always wondered why Akakabe didn’t receive the proper recognition that he deserved in States…..His scratches were quick and on-point, transitions were ill, and his beat juggling patterns made my jaw drop when I first heard them on the 1997 DMC’s…..

SALUTE…..

In 2004 he finally won the DMC world championship and took the belt to Japan…..

Peep this footage of him at Club Bon Bon 06/ 22/ 06

* Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force……

BBP- Business Before Pleasure is a company out of the Bronx that will keep your closet looking extra dipped…….If you think I am playing, check out this nice “Renegades Of Funk” jacket that is bound to cause pandemonium on the avenue….

And this BDP flip /BBP jacket & hat is straight ridiculous…….CRAZY…

If your interested in lacing yourself up this Fall

CHECK IN…..

” Ben Buford ” is one of the nastiest M.C’ s on the west side of things….The first joint I heard from him was the “Exercise/Hitman 4 Hire” 12 inch which features menacing production from L.A’s own , “Truly Odd”…As far as west coast hardcore Hip Hop goes, this was a criminally slept on release….( Gun clap rap at it’s dirtiest )

In 2003 they teamed up again for ” Emcee Killer ” , it’s the type of joint that makes the perpetrators hit the panic button….You can hear it on ” D.J. Chorizo Funk’s ” mixtape (Which is very flavorful)…..

Troop’s, Fila, New Balance, Lotto’s, Elleese, BK’s, Clark’s, Diadora, Le Coq Sportif, Timbo’s, Reebok Pump’s, Sacony’s, Adidas, Pumas, and of course a crisp pair of Nike’s…..

I come from an era where if your shoes were busted than you had NO wins…….I can remember trying to go against the grain and decided to show up at the cypher with a pair of “Vans” just for the hell of it……..

WHEW…….Before I even got a word out of my mouth, I became the laughing stock of the area….HAHAHAHA….1989 was no joke….

From that day on I vowed to get revenge on all those fools who tried to clown, and spent a tremendous amount of time, cheese, and energy assembling a stockpile of kicks so ill that whenever I would pop up on the set– suckers would get the trembles…..

Fast forward to 2010: One of the sites that I check for on the regular is “Daily Diggers”…..It’s ran by an interesting cat by the name of Kid Dyno (London)…….What I like about his site is that you can tell that he is a authentic Hip Hop head…….Instead of following trends and being over eager to post up ANYTHING, he subscribes to the quality over quantity ethic (Like myself)……

So it’s only fitting that two like-minded individuals decided to clique up and get busy…………This Monday we are going head to head in our first official AF1 Kick-Off……….His best five, against my best five…….No corny bullshit-just fresh color schemes, explosive heat, and all that other fly shit…….

It’s going to be a doozy, so don’t get caught sleeping on Monday morning troop………

PEEP DAILY DIGGERS BLOG…..

O.K. folks it’s about that time again…….

You know what I’m talking about…..Another remix rocket from the captain of this Battlefield battleship homeboy…..I decided to give ya’ll a healthy dose of bass, snapping drums, and that extra special spice that is bound to raise your blood pressure levels…

The original version of Out The Box (produced by Pete Rock)-featured Tony Touch, Large Pro, Masta Ace, and P.R. on the vocals…

So turn your speakers to level ten, take a deep breath, and brace yourself for collision…..POW,POW….

All beats wrecked, sliced, flipped, mangled, chopped, manhandled, and stretched out by ME !!!!!!!!!

When I first heard this song I almost started flipping out on everybody…..

“Rain Blood” features underrated Megalon on the mic totally smashing everything into shreds…….Not many M.C’s can ride a beat that sounds this chaotic….

This is the type of shit I can listen to on repeat all day with the greatest of ease……Produced by MF Doom…

And while your at it, scope out this rare interview with Megalon with U.Grap.De……..

Interesting read indeed…..

TUNE IN…

Mr. Keith Murray is back with some more drama talk on this new joint “Venting”, produced by up and comer Ayden….It has been awhile since I have heard anything from this former L.O.D. & Def Squad repper….

Sounds like he is on fire again…..

Berlin based D.J. Mr Phipson takes us on a voyage to the land of Brazil for this explosive podcast….If this doesn’t help jump start your afternoon, I don’t know what will…HAHA…

” Episode 5 presents you music containing elements of Capoeira and the afro-brazilian instrument Berimbau. A deep journey featuring tracks from Bossa and Samba Classics to Baile Funk and electronic breaks. Enter the Roda! This is a voyage into the cultural heritage of Brazil.”

TUNE IN….

There is no rush that matches the feeling that I get when I find a crazy drum break that hasn’t been rocked before….It could take weeks, or even months, but when I eventually find one- I instantly flashback to my childhood……Back then I was using the pause-tape method (More on that one day perhaps)….

Anyway, if your into crazy crate digging stories like Mr. HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD, than you will enjoy this BBC special by The Vinyl Hoover called “Beat Mining”…….He interviews 45 King, Steinski, Malcolm Mclaren ( January 22, 1946-April 8, 2010…RIP), Aaron Fuchs of Tuff City records, etc…..

Enough of the wordplay, you know the drill…..
