The hardest I.T. in the Polo Ralph Lauren Lighthouse series was this jacket with the Scotchlite details.

The ‘Fit def inspired by my dream to get on a Coast Guard cutter and rescue some dumbfucks lost at sea.

I’m finding me a life preserver before I rock this shit in the streets

You gotta love the way the Scotchlite takes all the light from the flash.

The Coastal Rescue short sleeve knit was on clearance at Macy’s in Philadelphia. For $36 dollars I don’t mind at all thank you very much.

The graphic on the backs of these pieces allows you to work for the coast guard as a Lifestylist.

I brought the heritage Timbs out for this ‘Fit. Boat shoe swag on 1,000,000,000,000

These RLX all terrain pants are so damn fresh. The details on them are impeccable from the re-inforced knees to the tips of the drawstrings

Macy’s mailorder pickups from San Antonio and Towson, Maryland respectively. Half off the ticket ($62.50) with the clearance coupon – 25% Off

The tees were a stupid $10 comeup from Lord & Taylor so I did the one to rock, one to stock move. I’m an addict.

HIM-LO: HORSEPOWER

Tuesday, February 4th, 2014

HIMLOCDCOVERFRONT

Philadelphia has a long history within the Lo-Life mythology. Philly was a rack destination when NYC was drying up. Boostin’ Billy (R.I.P.) relocated to Philly from Brooklyn. The Lifestyle connection between NYC and Philadelphia was always about hard work and being a str8 up entrepreneur. HIM-LO is cut from this same age old cloth of brothers who do what must be done in order for their families to flourish.

You might have heard of HIM-LO along with his brother Clever-1 as the duo the Buze Brovas. Clever-1 is still in the picture but he takes a backseat on this project in order for HIM-LO to maximize his rhyme shine potential. HIM-LO doesn’t disappoint.

HIM-LO asked me to host the mixtape and give an intro to my audience. You got the link above my internets. Do yourself a favor and fux with this joint. Thank me later.

What a groovy track from the cloaked crusaders on this joint. I appreciate the wrinkle the Dopp added to their flows and their beats. This track is off their latest album dropping this month: ‘Peace Kehd’

Don’t sleep on these dudes in 2014

“Peace Kehd is available for pre-order and set to be released on CD and vinyl, as well as digitally, on February 18. It’s the follow-up to 2013′s HARK, which was named the #2 NY Hip-Hop Album by the Village Voice. The menacing and grimy feel of The Doppelgangaz’ music belies the whip-smart humor that they’re known for. As XXL says, “The Doppelgangaz are New York rap in its purest form.”
