” Kick Rocking “

Picture 3

SAY WORD….

Much respect and props to the people over at NEW BALANCE for taking kick rocking to new heights with the release of the “New Balance M1500 x Technics SL1200MkII Custom” joints….

Only three pair are in existence so I seriously doubt you will get your paws on these…Regardless, it’s a step in the right direction…

“The New Balance 1500 Made in UK is a model enjoyed by many. The success of the ‘Chosen Few‘ is solid proof, now what do you think about a Customized one ??

Let’s talk about this project “New Balance M1500 x Technics SL1200MkII Custom” directed by Revive Custom, Hip Hop activist, painter, turntablist, sneakerhead and footwear designer from Brooklyn NY whom for many years has worken on many Custom Projects, my dear colleague Psy did a review a few weeks ago of Evan’s ‘Nike Air Force 180 Robinson Custom‘ project.

It is his love for Hip Hop that the concept has emerged, Evan aka Revive Custom pays tribute to the legendary Technics Technics SL-1200′s whose manufacture was ceased in 2010. My man Blair who grew up in the HIP HOP movement, Selecta, Crate Digger and sneaker addict, suggested to Evan to use the New Balance M1500UC as a base shoe.

The realization of this “Custom” is very neat, the color code of the ‘SL1200MkII’ was ingeniously observed and the “Highlights” of the “make-up” are clever.

Here are pictures of this project, only 3 pairs have been produced”..

” Tuesday Sure Shot “

Out of all the songs Wu-affiliate TRUE MASTER has been involved with, “Persian Legacy” is my all time favorite…Instead of staying behind the boards – he grabs the mic for an explosive session of calling out the perpetrators, wack labels, and remedial MC’s….

If this cut sounds familiar to you, you probably heard it on the TONY TOUCH 50 MC’s mixtape….

Years before JADAKISS dropped his mediocre version of “Why”, the slept on crew NY Confidential beat him to the punch with the same motif (Is it a coincidence or straight up biting?)…

” Marley Marl Drops Jewelry “

Picture 7

You know what makes me burst out with wild fits of extreme delirious laughter ? When I see dudes spend HEAVY bread on all types of studio equipment, and for some strange reason they think they will be able to magically make fresh beats overnight….

HAHAHA….

You do NOT have to have DONALD TRUMP money in order to come up with some banging beats, but you will need patience, creativity, the right blueprints, imagination, a library of material to pull from (records), the proper mentor, and a few other secret ingredients that I will keep to myself….

The equipment that MARLEY MARL was using back in the day would be considered primitive by todays standards, but why does it sound better than 85 % of the shit I am hearing in 2014 ?

“Hailing from the galaxy of Queens, Marley Marl revolutionized hip hop when he pioneered the practice of sampling drum sounds and creating his own proto-boom-bap rhythms, yielding gems like MC Shan’s joyfully noisy (and unintentionally beef-inducing) QB anthem “The Bridge.” The sonic architect of Cold Chillin’ Records and the Juice Crew, Mr. Marl was one of rap’s first super-producers, crafting huge hits for Eric B. & Rakim, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, and LL Cool J, among others. Oh yeah, and his tenure on late, great broadcasting partner Mr. Magic’s Rap Attack radio show on WBLS was immortalized in the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy.” Let this legendary “engineer all-star” tell you how he keeps it all in control in this three hour-plus talk at RBMA Tokyo 2014”.

” Dropping Tomorrow : 530 Heaterz “

Picture 5

If you paid close attention to the kick battle between DAILY DIGGERS & I, you would have noticed that I only showcased NIKE & ADIDAS…

Please do not get it twisted though fam, since a kid I gravitated towards all types of different kicks such as ELLESSE, PUMA, LOTTO, FILA, SAUCONY, LA COQ SPORTIF, and I can’t forget the Boston based company NEW BALANCE…

COP HERE….

“The 530′s colour palette is meant to resemble Central Park during the late fall season, as the leaves begin to change and autumnal colours take hold. The burgundy upper is composed of a rich oily pigskin suede with quilted detailing on the vamp, as well as an off-white microperforated nubuck on the toe wrap. Goldenrod 3M was used under the burgundy netting, as well as the “N” logos on the side panels. Tonal leather is added on the heel, which features an enlarged debossed “530” branding in the same typography used for New York street signs. A rubberized label that represents the New York Parks & Recreation logo is emblazoned on the tongue, thus making the inspiration clear. The insoles are custom-printed, and feature a map of Central Park. The final details are a quilted poly-filled lining, and an olive gum outsole which adds to the overall aesthetic”.

” Hip Hop Treats “

God damn….

“2014 has been an incredible year for vinyl. Sales in the UK are at an 18-year high, vinyl-only boutique labels are popping up everywhere, and now we have the Desktop Record Cutter (DRC) poised to hit the market, allowing users to cut high quality vinyl at home for a relatively affordable price.

The DRC allows users to cut their music onto wax in a matter of minutes utilizing what they call a ‘turn-key’ stereo cutting technology. Created by Australian inventor Paul Butler Tayar and his Machina Pro team, they are trying to raise a mere $10,000 AUS in order to expand the infrastructure of the project, create more machines and drive the price down from it’s current sum of $6,500 AUS per unit.

“The goal amount reached will dictate pricing,” notes Tayar on their Kickstarter page. “This is the most exciting part to us, if we all get involved, we can make the DRC more attainable for everybody.”

While Vestax threw their hat into the ring years ago with the VRX-2000, a machine that was loved by some but came with a hostile price tag, the DRC could make the splash that its predecessor failed to. With vinyl being where it is today, the obvious market is up-and-coming, small distribution imprints looking to keep their production in-house, and wealthy DJs with an insatiable white label fetish”.
