HUF Hupper (Detailed Pics)
Detailed pictures of one of the HUF models have released in the Hupper. The Hupper is going to be released in many different colorways and will be hitting the shelves in the Fall. If you haven't checked out HUF before make sure to stop by one of their two locations in San Francisco next time you are in the Bay. These are growing on me for sure...
Mos Def on Yo Gabba Gabba (Video)
If you would of mentioned "Yo Gabba Gabba!" to me a month ago I would of had no clue what you are taking about. I have a 10 month old daughter though and she is starting to get more interested in watching shows made for her age group on TV. I'm hot and cold with "Yo Gabba Gabba!" but definitely support Mos Def showing up on a show like this. Random tweet of the night that happens to coincide with this post...
Deeper Unplugged Ep. 6 - Jeremy Jones (Video)
In this episode the crew heads to the La Fourche Hut in the Mont Blac region. No ordinary hut, it requires being fully roped up and climbing a rocky, knife ridge to get there. The hut only being part 1 of the mission, the crew eyes a a face called Blanche de Putrey. Take a look at this gnarly face, it has Jeremy losing sleep...
Usher - Raymond vs. Raymond (Bonus Tracks Album)
So this isn't an official album, but someone put together a 46 album "Bonus Tracks" version to go along with the "Raymond vs. Raymond" release. I'm not a crazy R&B fan like that, but I know some of you will eat up the chance to get all these loose Ursher tracks.
Just Blaze vs. NT (Video)
Last night was an epic night for NT. So many quotables, but I'll let you watch the videos and judge for yourself. Check the tweets below to see how the USTREAM transpired...

Wize - Frienemies (Prod. by Plan) (Video)
If you didn't check out Wize's "Frienemies" track the first time around then you have another chance with this YouTube video. The song is fricking dope and if you didn't download it the first time around you are losing. Trust me. #SecretSociety is moving...
Wiz Khalifa - Incompatible
Spotted over at Crack of Dawn. Hell, I ripped the post off from my #SecretSociety homie.
Supposedly the "Kush x OJ" mixtape will be dropping this week too...
ALIFE - Courtyard Clearance Sale
I don't live in NYC, so really this doesn't mean shit to me (LOL) but if you are in the area I'm sure this would be a dope event to check out. NY gets all the good shit man. #fuggggg
The Real Just - Kauai Vacation Countdown
3 weeks from today I leave for my Kauai trip...man I hope to hit these beaches up. Good lawd!
Wiz Khalifa - NYC and SXSW Live Performances
Wiz Khalifa has been on his grind with the "Deal Or No Deal Tour" and his trip down to SXSW. I try not to miss anything Wiz related, so wanted to catch up on footage from the last few shows that I've seen posted. SOOOOO pumped that they just released the schedule for the West Coast half of Wiz's tour. I'm definitely hitting up the show in San Francisco on 5/11 or possibly the show in Santa Cruz on 5/9. Check the stops out below to see if he'll be in a city near you.
Crooks & Castles - How To Make It In LA (Video)
One of my favorite streetwear brands, Crooks & Castles, put together a dope little play on the "How To Make It In America" intro with footage all over Los Angeles and of their Spring collection which is in stores now. Starting to get some dope shit in the e-mail inbox!

The Real Just - Specialized CrossTrail
Your boy Just is the proud new owner of a Specialized CrossTrail bike! I haven't owned any type of bike since the GT Mach One back in the DAYYYY so I am super excited about this new purchase. I really think it's been 15 years since I've had a bike of my own to ride. The wife has been on me heavy about getting new bikes for a while and in the last two or three weeks with the weather changing up we started going to bicycle shops all over the East Bay. The Specialized CrossTrail is considered a "Hybrid" bike for those not really up on the whole bike game. I thought about getting either a "Road" or "Mountain" bike but this is the best of both worlds for someone who really doesn't need the benefits that a Road or Mountain bike provide. Will I be doing crazy Triathlon type bike rides or need to go that much faster then a hybrid bike? No. Will I be riding in some crazy ass woods type settings going off jumps and riding on ridiculous dirt trails and what not? No. Well, I kinda wish I would be doing the latter half of that, but I see getting this bike as more of a recreational type thing to do with the Wifey for exercise.
I'm souped. The bike was ordered yesterday and should be good to pick up by this upcoming Saturday. I can't wait. Any of my readers ride bikes for recreation? Let me know what you think!
Nike Air Max Lebron VII - NFW "Heroes" Pack
It's not secret that the Lebron VII's are one of the best, if not very best Lebron shoes yet to date. Take that sleek modern style and mash it up with the Bred Air Jordan XI design and you have a definite winner. I've been saying I was going to cop a pair of Lebron's for what seems like a year now, but this is my favorite colorway so far and these will be mine. The Real Just Sneaker Grade - Must Cop

Erykah Badu - New America Part Two (Album)
With new Wu, E-40 and Dom Kennedy albums still not listened to, I personally won't be checking this out...but I know some of ya'll dig her so thought I would throw this up here.
BTW I hate when artists have like 7 names for the damn album. Just pick something and stick to it. Album titles should not ever need to have parenthesis.

HUF Footwear Star Collection
HUF has been a staple in San Francisco skateboard culture for years. They are branching out from what that they have done best and starting a new shoe line. These three designs will be releasing in the next few months. I'm not a fan of any of the designs, but be prepared for the HUFbeasts to swoop these up quickly.
Play Cloths x SXSW 2010 (Video)
Play Cloths catches up with Curren$y, Mickey Factz, Wiz Khalifa, Stalley and Dom Kennedy out in Austin, TX for SXSW.

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar
"How To Make It In America" is definitely my favorite show on TV right now and the intro theme song gets stuck in my head for days after I watch the new episodes every Sunday. I thought I'd throw this track up here just so everyone could check out the full version of the song. If you haven't seen the show yet then tune in to HBO for new episodes every Sunday night. If you have Comcast, On Demand has all the episodes up for viewing...CATCH UP!
Updated 3/23 with download link for the track!
Asher Roth - Seared Foie Gras w/ Quince & Cranberry
I hope the mixtape is a lot better then the mixtape title...

The Real Just Classics - Devin the Dude (Album)
.jpg)
Shoutout to the homie Mr. Jefferson for getting me thinking about some of MY classic albums from the past. Of course anyone could include Reasonable Doubt, The Chronic, Illmatic, Ready 2 Die, Doggstyle, All Eyez on Me and all the the other predictable joints in their list of classic albums, but I started thinking outside the box. Stay tuned for more of "The Real Just Classics".
A little background : I was put on to this album in June of 2000 when I was graduating from High School (save the old man jokes) by a good friend of mine. This album literally stayed in my CD changer for that entire summer. I would eject it from time to time, another CD would get one spin and this would get some more work. This album is filled with many memories for me of one of the best summers of my life. I'll just leave it at this...how I made it out of that summer alive, not in jail, DUI/DWI less and with no serious injuries is beyond me...but I can thank God for that every day. Real talk that was the craziest summer I have ever had in my life.
Deeper Unplugged Ep. 5 - Jeremy Jones (Video)
Jeremy Jones, Travis Rice, Johan Olofsson, Jonaven Moore and Tom Burt and head into the wilds of Alaska. They wanted to go past heli boundaries, find new terrain and call the backcountry of Alaska home for a few weeks. See where they end up.
E-40 feat. Stresmatic - Weed Man (Video)
E-40's "Revenue Retrievin" double album drops on March 30th...but I should have it hear soon.
Marky - Rasta Monsta
Sure enough after I post the "I Need a Dollar" theme song from "How To Make It In America" I check this out the next day posted on all of the NMC blogs. I love this theme song and definitely hope that more people spit their flows over this. Check the show out if you haven't yet.
Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y - Car Service and This Plane
I logged on #NT for the first time in a while today and was browsing around the Music forum when I stumbled upon this. I was actually starting to wonder why I hadn't seen any Wiz or Curren$y videos pop up from SXSW yet. It looks like the #NT fam from The Smoking Section had a pretty damn good seat for this show. Yes, I'm definitely hating.
