Are y’all heads getting ready for the REAL spring season to drop? Hells chea you are and I know some of you are busy building outfits to stunt in the streets. Ralph Lauren made it easy for us with this Wild River Canoe Class series of I.T.’s. Similar to some of the recent graphic print series like Ocean Challenge, Wild River is colorblocked cleanly and brightly with all kinds of official text and tags on the pieces.

Let’s start with the Challenge jacket…

Bells, whistles, pulls, zippers and an above the waist swag that is clean and neat. Jackets are great I.T.’s because they rock in several seasons.

I fux with the full zip fleeces and the pullys.

I’ve seen a version of the pully with an integrated hood and an ID plate on the chest. That shit will be one of the superstar pieces of this series

I’m looking to top off these pieces with a chapeau from the series. I like the fit of these caps more than Ocean Challenge ballcaps which sat on my scalp like a yarmulke. I am Hebrew after all, but my style is so gentile.

I hope that patch pulls off.

Since I have been squeezing my fat ass into RLX pieces why wouldn’t I also try to get into this knit or tee?

Polo Ralph Lauren makes it easy for me to look like I give a fux about white water wild river rafting and canoeing. It’s called Lifestyling Internets. It’s what we do.

Chinua Achebe THINGS FALL APART

Rest In Prophetic Prose to Chinua Achebe.

I read this book in the 6th grade and my teacher went back to my parents and told them I might be turning into a revolutionary. Ha, never that.

Revolution is the act of revolving in a circle. Time lapses and you return to the position you were previously in. I am the high evolutionary. Forever moving upward. Onward.

Chinua Achebe was an author who understood the difficult compromises Africans must make living thru Western culture while trying to maintain their traditions and values. Unfortunately, things fall apart.

Peace to Okonkwo.

Torae: Admission Of Guilt…

My big homey Torae gave me the the link to his latest project titled ‘Admission Of Guilt‘ which he released for FREE thru his own label. I have to credit Torae for being a student of music and the business of making music.

It is a courageous endeavor to spend your life working on art then to make your project available for consumption and criticism with little investment from the listener other than time. Hopefully the laws of physics apply to Torae’s project like they do to the rest of the universe.

Time = Work
Work = Power
Power = +Movement
