MEYHEM LAUREN: #DEFENDQUEENS

If you still don’t have the Meyhem Lauren double album ‘Self-Induced Illness‘ then I don’t really want to know you. Meyhem Lauren is singularly the reason I fux with Timeless Truth, Action Bronson, Thirstin’ Howl 3rd and Roc Marciano. I have a tremendous amount of respect for this young dude. He is an interconnected network in the OG sense.

Meyhem is the type cat to step to you on the street and salute you if you rocking some live shit properly. I met dude on Jamaica Avenue one day when I was taping a Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC Tour. Dude gave me his math so we could do some Polo deals. He ain’t know I blog and I ain’t know he rapped. As fate would have it when I got back to the lab that night and opened up Unkut.com he was on the top of the page.

Crazy how people will connect on some shit only to learn they been connected for several years already without even knowing it. That’s the lesson that the internets constantly teaches me. The world is filled with billions of people, but those that connect and vibe on the same sine-cosine wavelength frequency is the smaller group, and they will find each other regardless.

If you fux with this page like you say you do then show some love and support to this dude doing shit like how it should be done. #REAL.

And this last track is the shit that represents Hip-Hop to me on every level possible. Meyhem Lauren has even asked me to submit a storyboard to him to shoot a video from. I will do that ASAP, but for now enjoy this man’s music and support his movement. #OUTDOORSMEN

DP.com kicks off ‘Shark Week‘ with this ferocious track off the Roc Marciano x Alchemist x Oh No project called ‘Greneberg’.

Roc Marciano’s ‘Marcberg’ was definitely the best rap album of 2010. Don’t get caught sleeping internets because this tiger shark will take off your arm. Early.

Props to UnKut for liberating this bonus heatrock.

“Lemonade was a popular drink, and it still is…”

My flight to ATL should be en route as you read this drop. I’m bringing my nephew to Atlanta to hang out with his grandmother for a few weeks. Don’t feel a kind of way if the updates come slower than you are used to [ll].

While I’m off the internets and on my real life shit you should be fuxing with these pages on the regulack…

New Hampshire Bootmaker Timberland to be Sold for $2B

I’ve obviously been making the wrong decision for the past twenty five years by buying Timberland boots and socks instead of investing in Timberland bonds and stocks.

VF Corporation owns Nautica, The North Face, Jansport, Eastpak, Wrangler, 7 For All Mankind and a shitload of other second-tier brands. I hope that Timberland doesn’t lose the innovative spark with this acquisition. Their legacy line of footwear will forever be synonymous with cutting edge quality, but I worry about their newer hybrid lines.

The Mountain Athletics division from Timberland is totally slept on. This is where they develop all those lightweight quick response day hikers like the Cadion boots. I pulled a pair out of my archives and not a minute too soon. The rubber was starting to turn yellow from the improper storage. These are the 30152 deck shoes. They are like a hybrid aqua sock meets boat shoe.

You will rarely find me suggesting that you wear a shoe without socks, even a deck shoe, but these Mountain Athletics division Timberlands are so comfortable on the insole it would be a crime to not go barefoot in these. The outsole has flex grooves so that the shoe bends with your foot naturally and a non-skid outsole to help you keep your grip even on a wet surface.

Timberland isn’t just for the wintertime anymore.

Timberland is for every season and every reason.
