NYC’s underground leaders, Shaz IllYork and Maffew Ragazino, posted this clip last week and I hadn’t gotten around to viewing it until today. Shaz Illyork is interesting because he fully understands the visual medium which today’s music occupies as he attempts to create treatments for all the songs he releases.
Shaz is gonna pop off one of these days and I will just be happy to say that I’m from Queens too.

I’m showing adidas Rod Lavers, the Reebok Insta-Pump Fury x Mita collaboration, Nike volleyball Air Trainers and my OG grail Air Tech Challenge 3/4s. I’m all over the place, but at the end of the day its all about copping what you like and being true to your style.
I finally listened to a Kendrick Lamar song today. Yep, my first Kendrick Lamar listen and I found homeboy to be quite nice. I couldn’t tell the difference between he or Dr.Dre but to be honest they both sounded slick. This track is called ‘The Recipe’.

Salutes to the NCAA Champion Kentucky Wildcats.
Shouts to LM for winning the NCAA pool. This is the 3rd or 4th DP.com pool that LM has won. He stays winning so much it makes me wonder if he was the dude from Maryland with the winning Mega Millions ticket?
