Prison isn’t the final stop for people with a strong mind and a belief in themselves. Proof of that is DJ Benhameen, who featured his prison poetry on this episode of the Combat Jack Show, and special guest Maino, who endured ten years in prison only to return to reality and become a rap star.
These two examples are some of the only positive stories coming from the prison industrial complex. Oh yeah, and racist Pete.
Complex mag caught this one.

The Agenda tradeshow is a dope place to walk thru to see what will be trending in clothing designs for the upcoming year. Here’s a hint… All camo everything.
L.R.G. clothing is still doing some dope things. I was impressed with Fila and some of their designs. I met the man behind the Orisue brand. DC shoes has some flavor dropping also. But for my time and money I stay fuxing with Stussy. That for me is the alpha and omega of streetwear.
I got a little secret for y’all to use when you want to copp kicks for way less than MSRP. Cork Clothing Co. is my hookup. They plugged me into the outlet selling these KDIV (Kevin Durant) ‘Aways’ for only $50.
Cork Clothing posts deals even cheaper than this and their ‘Plug Of The Day’ is guaranteed fresh. Stop paying box prices for kicks when you don’t have to. Just fux with my people at Cork Clothing and you will be plugged in to the sneaker matrix. #SHOEMINATI
Phony PPL is a rap band coming out of Brooklyn. It’s too simplistic for me to call them the Roots 2.0 reboot, but that is the vibe I am catching from them. Rhythm, blues, rap, soul and just a tinge of funk. I’ve seen them perform twice already in the new year and I’m hype to see them develop their groove.
DL their debut album ‘Phonyland‘ and catch the PhonyPPL wave…
‘Break It Off’
‘4 The 1st Time’
‘If This Is How Love Feels’
‘Save My Generation’
