Air Max 24-7 - Chili and Neon
I was at True today and saw these on the shelves. Definitely a dope design with the 360 bottoms, Air Max 97 mid shoe and Air Max 95 upper shoe. I just copped the Air Max 95 Neon's a few weeks back so I think I was leaning more towards the Chili color. What do you think?
Nickelus F - Season Premiere (Mixtape)
Nemo - Memories (Video)
#shoutout to ThatDudeBaker for shooting the link over for this...I definitely always appreciate and respect people looking out for their friends and trying to get their work seen in as many places as possible.
Wiz Khalifa - Goodbye (Video)
Wiz throws together a video for the "Goodbye" track off of "Deal or No Deal"...better late then never? I guess this is still his most recent "album", but it seems like this dropped 3 years ago.

Louchiano - "Use Your Imagination" Contest
The homie Louchiano delivered this gem to my e-mail inbox yesterday for the third entry in the "Use Your Imagination" contest. Louchi has been on his grind after his successful mixtape "Loublood" and has a whole lot of other stuff up his sleeve for the future of his brand. I'm telling you Louchiano has a vision for himself, his music, his brand and the people surrounding him and he is just about the most creative person I've ever known (well through the internet...LOL) when thinking outside of the box to deliver that to the masses. Stay tuned because I can ensure you Louchiano is only getting better and better with everything that he does. If you aren't up on the man then check out previous posts on The Real Just. #VLAHHHH
If you haven't been keeping up to date with the contest then you can be caught up quickly here...
BTW...UserShare is acting like a biznatch so I upped this link on Mediafire. If the Russ Spittemz and A-Live entries keep going down (like they have been doing) then I'll re-up those also.
Air Jordan IX - White/Black-Varsity Red
Believe it or not I have actually never owned a pair of the high top IX's. My only IX's I've ever had were the low top White/Blue. Jordan Brand is releasing just about every color of IX's imaginable in the next few months, so I might have to crack that streak I have going...
The Real Just Sneaker Grade - Might Cop
Pill - Surroundings (Video)
My (internet) homies have been trying to get me on the Pill train (||) for months and his feature on Pac Div's "Don't Mention It" pushed me over the edge from lurker to listener. Pill's "1140 : The Overdose" drops on June 1st.
J-Diction - Mix-Up
J-Diction's "Cloudy Rooms" mixtape is next on deck, so keep your eyes peeled for that since it will definitely show up here as soon as I have it...

A-Live - "Use Your Imagination" Contest
Also, not sure if you saw the homie Amp's blog, but A-Live got a real dope shout out from Wiz Khalifa for Random Acts of Flyness. Secret Society has been getting some love from the Khalifa man between Half's Interview and this. Always a good look!
If you missed the first entry for the "Use Your Imagination Contest", then check out Russ Spittemz!
Koohl Cardi - I.D.K. Ya'll
If you saw the Koohl Cardi featuing Nickelus F track that was up on the blog for like an hour last week then you know Koohl Cardi has got some serious skills. Unfortunately Nickelus F's camp has asked us to not post the track until after his album releases, but regardless Koohl Cardi has more shit on deck for you. Stay tuned!
Wiz Khalifa - The Kid Frankie (Video)
Three and a half million views on World Star Hip Hop!? I doubt it...
Air Jordan IX - University Blue/White
These are only getting posted because they are part of the I-XXIII series. I'm not a big fan of "University Blue" and the "Powder Blue" IX's that drop on Saturday put these to SHAME. These will sit on the shelves...for a long time.
The Real Just Sneaker Grade - Easy Pass
Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid (Album)
I am posting this strictly off the amount of positive comments I have seen about this on Twitter. I don't know anything about her, the album, etc but I am downloading now to find out what's up.
Smoke DZA feat. Devin the Dude - White Papers
They must have REALLY wanted me to post this because they e-mailed it to me three times yesterday. LOL. A Devin the Dude feature? Consider it done dada...
Tyga & Chris Brown - Deuces (Video)
Tyga and Chris Breezy put together a dope little video for my favorite track off of the "Fan of A Fan" mixtape. I have to admit, I am surprised how much action I have given this tape. There is definitely a few tracks that I am really feeling, even with Chris Brown rapping on them. I thought this project would be weak at best, but I have been pleasantly surprised. Unlike some of the other projects that have dropped recently with mad hype and zero replay value...

Nesby Phips - The Phipstape (Mixtape)
How did I completely miss this tape releasing? It looks like it's been out for a little while now, but somehow it slid under the radar for me. I even follow this fool on Twitter...he must not have been pushing it too hard or something. If you aren't familiar with Nesby Phips he has been featured on quite a few tracks with Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa lately and IMO has killed them all. Let's see what this tape is all about and if he can still shine on his own.
Nike - Write The Future (Video)
This got me HELLA excited about the World Cup. The countdown begins...

Russ Spittemz - "Use Your Imagination" Contest
#shoutout to the homie Russ Spittemz for the first entry in the Secret Society "Use Your Imagination" contest. The homie got his work ethic on POINT and had his entry over to us within 3 hours of announcing the contest. Russ had to make a few changes with the placement of his verse, so that delayed it a day...but still he beat everyone else out the gate. If you aren't up on Russ Spittemz then you can check out some of his previous work here.
Who's got next?
Air Jordan Infared VI Pack - Drops 6/19
The big rumor was that these were going to be an international release, but it looks like that wasn't true. The Air Jordan Infared VI Pack drops on 6/19. I already broke down my feelings on these before with a post on my blog, so I won't repeat it. I think I'm copping...might have to un-DS the Varsity Red's this weekend.
Drake - 9 AM In Dallas (Freestyle)
If you've been thinking lately..."Damn, Just use to post EVERYTHING Drake put out and now he puts up none of it. Shit, he even made a Drake mixtape for his blog before Drake was super famous. He must not like him anymore because he's so popular." WRONG.
You ever download every track that leaks off an album and then when you listen to the actual album when it drops it's just not what you hoped or expected? I'm trying to not have "Thank Me Later" give me that let down feeling from playing out all the tracks before they actually release. I've listened to "Over" a bunch of times, but haven't even downloaded the other leaked tracks for myself much less posted them on the blog. I figured I'd give this a spin though since this obviously isn't going to be on the album.
"Thank Me Later" is in stores on June 15th. I will be making my first CD purchase since "Tha Carter III" that day...go out and support!
Call Of Duty - Black Ops (Trailer)
I definitely got on the "Call of Duty" hype WAY late with "Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2" being the first game I actually owned....BUT the game got me addicted and this will definitely be copped. The sad part is as soon as I beat the story line in MW2 I stopped playing the game completely since I don't have X Box Live. SMFH.
Vado - Large On The Streets (Video)
"Slime Flu" is on deck...definitely looking forward to hearing what he can do on his own tape.

Wiz Khalifa - The Statement (Video)
If you follow Wiz on Twitter you probably saw him mention that now he is off the "Deal Or No Deal Tour" that it's time to start getting some "visuals" together for Kush x Orange Juice. Personally, I like at least 5 songs better then "The Statement" on the tape, so I am hoping Wiz will stay true to his word and put together a few more videos also. I'm hoping for "In The Cut" and "Never Been"...
Young Chris - The Network 2 (Mixtape)
I feel like it has been FOREVER since any Young Chris has dropped so this is DEFINITELY appreciated. Dude has a ton of talent, so I hope he gets back on his grind...

Secret Society - Use Your Imagination Contest
Well, first and foremost...THANK YOU for checking back to view my 2000th post. If you remember back to my 1000th post, I tried to do something a little out of box and not just the standard post for the big milestones in my blogging career. LOL. Sorry for not delivering through with this announcement yesterday, but we had some technical difficulties and wanted to make sure we had everything dialed in before coming out and announcing this contest.
I'm sure you all remember the epic "Imagination" track off of the first Secret Society tape courtesy of Hi-Jynx, Mr. Jefferson and Keen-¥ . Well, it was pretty obvious that there was an open verse needed at the end of that track. Want to be on the next Secret Society tape? Well, go in on that open spot on the end of the track and send it through to our Secret Society e-mail! I figured I'd up the individual "Imagination" track for download also, but if you don't already have this chilling in your iTunes from downloading the Secret Society tape then OFF yourself.

The rules are spelled out clearly on the artwork, but just wanted to add a few more important things. ALL entries will be posted on all of the Secret Society's blogs (The Real Just, Random Acts of Flyness, Crack of Dawn, Give The Drumma Some and Joe Galvan) so use this as a chance to get your work out to the masses. Also, Joe Galvan will be setting up a site like we did for the Secret Society tape that will allow listeners to stream the entries that have been submitted and vote on their favorite. Voting will start after the June 15th deadline so that everyone has a fair chance of having their entry make the second tape.
This will all be promotion towards the Secret Society : Vol. 2 which we are targeting for Labor Day.

Maestro Knows - Episode 7 (Estevan Oriol)
This is post 1999 for me here on the blog! I will be making a Secret Society announcement here tomorrow for my 2000th post. Check back to see what's up!
