Unregistered RawShooter essentials 2005 1.1.2 bld 14

After copping the Timberland Abington x Stussy trekkers a few weeks back I was still not totally feeling the look of the boots.

Don’t get it twisted… These trekkers are dope. They are supremely designed and made, but they were lacking something in the final wear presentation.

After copping the Timberland x Stussy Deluxe field boot I realized exactly what I wanted for the trekkers. A lacing hardware upgrade.

I brought the trekkers to an old school cobbler in the World Trade Center area and told him what I wanted. Dude banged ’em out in few days and now I’m str8r than 6 o’clock.

This jazzy joint was my Sunday morning soundtrack as I made my way thru the city with C.S.

We walked thru downtown Brooklyn (R.I.P. Jimmy Jazz) and then hopped the #4 train to the Staten Island Ferry.

Next was a bus trip uptown to get some Jordan Brand socks, and then back down to Chinatown for duck and shrimp dumplings.

Catch the vibe with me…

The button down was a little comeup

These Stussy Deluxe joints are so official. Leather lined and clean as hell.

For letting Timberland and Stussy come together to make this deluxe Field Boot. Premium leather, official metal hardware, a gum outsole and a leather interior lining make these field boots the best I ever had.

The Dopp Strikes Back…

The latest project from my favorite Trip-Trap Rap troop is titled HARK!. The Doppelgangaz are right back to doing what they do best which is creating dope ass beats and rhymes filled with psychoactive prescription pill invectives.

HARK! is a more polished presentation than their previous full length CD ‘Lone Sharks’ but they don’t lose their sense of grit with the advancing sense of marketing. The Dopp can’t jump the shark since they ARE the shark.

I’ve been letting this track fill my earholes for the better part of a week. I think it codifies what the Doppelgangaz represents sonically even tho’ its only an instrumental track. This song reaffirms my love for rap music. It reminds me of how playful the beats can be yet still remain hard and resolute.

If you aren’t already tuned in to the Doppelgangaz music open up their Soundcloud page and dive in. I pray they are the future for Hip-Hop, not just rap, but Hip-Hop, you know the culture and shit.
