Just in time for Saturday’s anticipated release of the Air Jordan Retro XI Silver Anniversary release is the Bobby Fresh “Invisible Woman” tee. Playing off the shoe’s clean white color and icy transparent sole, the tee is printed with a gel-like clear coat and features a retro homage to The Fantastic Four’s Invisible Girl/Woman, rocking an 11 on her chest.
The boys at REGNE are bringing some G.O.O.D. music to The Block tomorrow. Kanye West protege and today’s king of the internet (more on that later), Big Sean, will be at the REGNE Grand Opening celebration this Saturday on the rooftop of 425 S. Mill Ave. in Tempe. The party doubles as a celebration of DJ Fresh 85’s 25th birthday, as if having one of XXL’s Freshman 15 and the grand opening of AZ’s newest upscale boutique wasn’t enough reason to party.
As mentioned earlier, Sean is killing the Internet today with the leak of “Made”, his collab with Drake. We’ve included the tagged version of the track below- hurry up and learn Drake’s verse today and maybe Sean’ll let you duet with him tomorrow*.

*There’s no way that’s going to happen. I’ve been memorizing lyrics since 1992 when Greg Nice didn’t show up for a Nice & Smooth concert and I pictured myself filling in for him onstage. You might, however be invited onstage to yell “New Music Cartel” every 40 seconds like on this tagged track, though**.
Well THIS seemed a long time coming. The first time we heard the Joe/Jeezy collabo, with its Soul II Soul sampling Scoop DeVille track, we were reminded of the opening scene of “Belly”. This video gives a nod to Hype Willams’ hood classic before taking the music to the city streets. Just for fun, here’s a link to the original “Belly” intro in case you are a total lame who doesn’t have the who movie memorized. “I don’t like that shit…I don’t like that shit.” Fun Fact: When I drive my 2000 Dodge Intrepid, sometime I pretend I’m DMX and run red lights in front of cops.
We’re West Coastin’ it tonight all night at the Hidden House (607 W. Osborn Rd. in Phoenix. DJs LES735, Bigie, Blesd1 & Kris the Fist will be manning the decks for an excursion to the best side for the venerable Phoenix Hip-Hop spot, and a copy of the “Steady Mobbin” mixtape comes with your admission.
In addition to westside classics, Eighty Grand artists Dan Smack , Spit Suicide and Infinite P. will be performing.
These GS Spizikes area nice comlement to the Grapes that are already out for men. Whereas the Grapes have a wkward hits of Blue and Black elephant print, these white, violet and grey GS shoes are a lot more graceful and befitting the fairer sex.
Interesting fact: these were first spotted in a Nicki Minaj TwitPic. If you’re looking through Nicki’s pic stream for her shoes, god bless you- you really love sneakers more than I do. More shots over at TheShoeGame.com
Lots of good music floating around the last few days- Drake and Kanye may have made the biggest splash with the second single off Drake’s debut, but Jay Electronica and YelaWolf are closing the week out strong.
On “The Ghost of Christopher Wallace”, Jay E. brings back not only the spirit of the Notorious one, but Puffy’s Ad-libs, which haven’t really been seen since the 90s.

The “I Need a Dollar” YelaWolf freestyle from the upcoming “As the World Spins” mixtape flips the theme music from “How to Make it in America”, which raises two questions: 1) Why are you asking me for money if you just got signed to Interscope, and 2) How is it that with 5,000 “Beamer, Benz or Bentley” and “Ha Ha” remixes out there, this is the first time I’ve heard someone spit over this beat?

And yes, although I’m literally the last person to post this song, here’s Drake singing over a Kanye West beat for his second single – “Find Your Love”. I was hoping the song would grow on me, but the International Bloggers Union reached out to me to demand I post it before I could form an opinion on this one. via JustChilly
