Get Ready For Combat…
Friday, May 20th, 2011
This might be the final Combat Jack Show if some fanatical Christians get their wish for the worldwide rapture this weekend. For the last show we brought in the legendary Stretch Armstrong to talk about his pioneering Hip-Hop radio program along with his time within the music industry.
Stream the podcast for your listening pleasure and if the world doesn’t end on Saturday make sure you subscribe to this show on iTunes for future podcasts.

Chapeau Game Proper…
Thursday, May 19th, 2011
I come from that era where real men wore hats.
Back in the days we didn’t refer to New Era caps as ‘fitteds’ because we called them ‘pro hats’. Regular cats had snapbacks at that time but if you had a ‘pro hat’ you were balling. You had to get a ‘pro hat’ from a professional sporting goods shop. Not a Modell’s or some African dude on the sidewalk.
You had to go to Cosby’s in MSG back then for that OFFICIAL.
I still fux with the ‘pro hat’ hardbody. Here are my prospective pickups for this summer…
Minnesota’s classic Twin City interlock logo on a navy base with a red bill might be the most slept on joint of all time. Most heads that fux with navy/red combos hit the Braves or Indians cap and miss this everlasting classic.
Peace to Harmon Killebrew, which might be the illest name to have if you like to drink beer
Another one of my all-time favorites is the classic Milwaukee joint that the Hammer wore before he hung his cleats. The blue and gold also matches up with my Polo lifestyle program to a tee.
Sean Price and I might be the only dudes outside of Pennsylvania with more ‘P’ hats than a little bit. This is another cap I choose to connect to my lifestyle apparel. The American red and royal blue colorways are built for the days in between the Memorial and Labor holidays.
Summer In The City…
Thursday, May 19th, 2011
The two best things about the 2011 summer will be the Internets Celebrities video series – ‘I.C. NYC’ and CityParks Foundation’s SummerStage lineups throughout the city. For over twenty years CityParks Foundation has produced outdoor free concerts in NYC. They are responsible for some of the best concerts I have ever been to.
This summer will be no different and I’ve highlighted some of the performances where I will definitely be in effect with a picnic basket and a bottle or two of that rozay [ll].

Nairobi Lifestyle…
Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
Ralph Lauren is the ultimate aspirational clothing designer. Now that he has conquered America he is setting his sights on the Aberdare wildlife preserve in Nairobi, Kenya.
This rugby goes ridiculously hard. Game over with those sueded elbow patches. This is definitely the shit you would want to rock if you were hiking in this equatorial mountain range.
I’m gonna set this rugby off right with these purple foamposites aka Royal Dutch African Foams.
Remember when you would meet someone who was so darkskint you would say they was purple?
Africa ain’t never looked as good as how I rock this lifestyle swag here in America. LOL
