Swiss Alps Lifestyle…

Swiss Alps – Meyhem Lauren featuring Action Bronson

The JustBlaze guest appearance on the Combat Jack Show got me hype to get a second job for the holidays just so I could add some I.T.’s to my ski lodge lifestyle programme.

Knit sweaters been the business since before Drake started rocking his grandma handknits. The Polo Ralph Lauren Fair Isle patterns have all kinds of extra details like vibrant colors and metal button toggle closures.

Once you have your sweater swag in place you can consider what to rock to cover that joint up in the brickness of this wintry weather.

I used to find Polo skins at TJMaxx and SYMS before it all ended for the discount retailers. I caught a ‘Lo shearling at SYMS on Trinity Place for $150 after scoping that joint out for a minute.

The bomber pictured above is str8 up #Hardwear

But the officer’s peacoat is #SWAGU

This I.T. is the type of shit I would copp just to put in the archives for future reference. I see them chestwarmer pockets with leather trim on ’em. Hotjamnb!

I’ma stay in my lane aspirationally and copp this vest. I already got the knit too and I’m sure I can layer up with a rustic button down from the archive. Keep it simple ski swag.

MarQ Spekt Spits Bionic Jazz…

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

“Bionic Jazz is a freeform hiphop album with a concentration on unorthodox somewhat experimental but wholly organic feel. It’s reminiscent of when jazz musicians would just pick up their instruments and play freely without worrying about the confines of what was the expected norm.

This project features various musicians and producers coming together to break down the barriers of todays current musical atmosphere. The first track released features School of Sharks representative MarQ Spekt, last heard on “MacheteVision” project with producer KNO, and MetalFace Records own Mobonix, last heard on DOOM’s “BORN LIKE THIS” record.

The track is entitled “Heroin Jonezz” produced by DOOM.”

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Sunday, November 27th, 2011

When all the dust cleared from my Black Friday shopping insanity I was most pleased with the socks I bought to match up with my Air Jordan retro 6 ‘Detroit Pistons’. When I put these socks on you won’t be able to see the hits of red or grey. The only person who will know how well these socks match my shoes are me.

Rocking sneakers should be just like wearing your special socks. The only person you should be trying to please is YOURSELF. I understand the desire to be part of a tribe or a larger community. That’s the main reason why I love to visit the lineups and why I even started the website in the first place.

Belonging to a larger community is fun but only if you remain committed to your individual sense of swag. Once you look like everyone else you no longer have an identity. So remember to rock what YOU like and not what the hype machines tell you what is fresh, and that includes websites like DallasPenn.com
