The Timberland Iditarod Superboot also known as the ’40 Below’ will be the zenith of their 40th anniversary releases, but don’t sleep on ANY of the boots dropping in this pack. Especially the World Hikers.
I certainly understand how mythical the 40 Below boot is. They were worn by Tupac in ‘Juice’ and Das EFX before that. Classic NYC street style is always in fashion.

This track is just what I needed to erase the Drake album from my rap palate. No secret valentine rap whispers or butterfly bars on this song. Just punch you in the face rhymes over the marching drum beat.
You already know how I do when the fanboy music video director in me gets ignited [ll]? The video game 300: March To Glory provides the imagery. I’m just the conduit so you can do it.
Tupac might be the biggest mainstream reference people have today when considering the iconic and legendary Timberland Iditarod class Superboot. His role in the seminal Hip-Hop movie ‘Juice’ cemented in people’s minds what an NYC street thug wore as he went about his business.
I didn’t buy my first pair, or any pair for that matter, of Iditarod Superboots to do my thugging. These boots were purchased because Timberland represented invincibility for your feet. That was always the ‘hood appeal to Timberland products. The idea that a boot could withstand temperatures as deep as 40 degrees below made you feel like Superman.
The 40 Below is dropping again this November. Here is your chance to cop a piece of Hip-Hop history. Here is where yon get yours.
The homey MarQ Spekt is dropping this collaborative album with underground wunderkind producer Blockhead and when I heard this joint called ‘Hangliding Thru The City’ I begged ‘Spekt to let me shoot a video for the song.
MarQ Spekt keeps challenging himself to find new avenues to express his rhymes. His MacheteVision project alonside production from Kno was well received but the internets slept hardbody on the Mazes EP he dropped with funk jazz legend Gary Wilson.
I hope y’all lend him your ear for this Blockhead collabo which finds ‘Spekt at his quirkiest and verbose. Philly rappers might be the hardest working breed in Hip-Hop. MarQ Spekt certainly doesn’t let any dust settle under his feet. Enjoy the song and let me know what y’all feel about the video.
