The King Of Rock Darryl McDaniels raps harder than he ever did on this episode, spitting about coming up under the influence of the Cold Crush and the Furious Five, the rise of Run-DMC, the GOAT rap group, alcoholism, being an orphan, the death of Jam Master Jay and the eventual break up of the group.

DMC also talks about his lifelong love for comic books and how he’s about to publish his own under his Darryl Makes Comics company. This interview is guaranteed tougher than leather.

My homie DICE RAW of the Roots has been working on a new project called ‘Jimmie’s Back’ which connects the prison industrial complex with the legacy of Jim Crow laws here in AmeriKKKa.

DICE RAW is one of those voices who always puts undeniable truth within his soulful art. Check out this dope documentary he put together as a sort of trailer for his project.

Hanging Out With The Sneaker Galactus…

Chad from Obsessive Sneaker Disorder nicknamed himself Sneaker Galactus. It’s pretty apropos for someone who has his kicks collecting skills and the 2,000 pairs to prove it. Chad invited me to the archives after we left the SoleXchange event and got back to Brooklyn.

Chad is a classic sneaker collector. He doesn’t focus on simply one brand or one style. His collection runs the gamut of everything under the sun. While I saw a bunch of shoes I loved I fell in love with a few of his LeBron 4 signature shoes. Its an evolved spaceboot complete with Nike Air for when you run out of oxygen.

The LeBron 4 ‘Fruity Pebbles’ are cracktavius. I feel like the inspiration for these came from a shoe I designed using the same nickname while at the Nike Lab on Elizabeth Street back in 2005.

New York, New York, big city of dreams…

Bloodline Fresh invited me to host the Fresher Than Your Average sneaker battle this past weekend at Rutger’s University. The event was called SoleXchange and its basically your run of the mill Buy-Sell-Trade sneaker convention. The sneaker battle and side attractions are what made this even different and special.

Premium Pete was on the scene since we were in South Jersey near where he rests.

Nothing was fuxing with the hype of my Mutombos.

Hypebeasts were in full effect. Foamposites and Jordans as far as the eyes could see. Very, very, very near deadstock was the phrase of he day.

Versace, Versace, Versace, Versace, okay, and maybe Gucci.

Shouts to all the sneaker moms.

Without the sneaker moms we’d have to pay the mortgages, rents, maintenances, life insurance premiums, light bills, cable TV bills, buy the groceries an make our own peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

Vin Rock went from carrying weed for Naughty By Nature to carrying the Fresher Than Your Average sneaker battle winner’s trophy.

My dude Mo came thru to support with his daughter.

Respect The (Well Made) Fly Shit…

I always explain to anyone who will listen to me that I fux with Polo Ralph Lauren shit not just because it’s fly and flashy but mainly because the shit is well made and built to last.

This I.T. is called the Ritter Trekking jacket. I copped it off the PRL dot com site when they reduced it to $249 (from $495) and then gave me a code for another 40% off.

My Wild River cup runneth over. Anyhoo…

I turned the piece inside out and I saw why Polo was charging people $500 from the gate. When you can wear an item inside out and it looks almost as good as it does on the right side you have a well made item.

The linings and seams on this jacket show me it is waterproof and weatherproof. I love all the zippers, cinches, pulleys and pockets. God is in the details.

After I pulled out the ACG Mowabb Air Force 1s I knew immediately I would be catching a body when the outfit architecture had been fully completed.

Khaki cargos go on top of those Extra Butter socks.

Depending on which kicks I rock will determine which New Era cap I doff.
