ME LOVES!!!!!

























I don’t know of any rap fan that isn’t a fan of Big L. Big L was one of the best artists of his time and his future potential was infinite. 10 years ago he was murdered and there has been an unfilled part of the rap game ever since. In honor of his birthday on 5/30, Dj Soul put together a tribute mix of some of his best works. The mix is one long MP3, but that doesn’t matter, because Soul does an excellent job with the mix.

Last month in our Hypebeast Feature involving talented New York designer Eric Elms, he gave us a little preview into an upcoming project that involved Vans. The brand new shoe model which will drop in the next few months represents another medium tackled by Elms. A bit of his own personal commentary involving the shoe can be seen below as well.
Chris Blackwell founded the Island label in Kingston, Jamaica in 1959 with capital of just £1000. Relocating to London in the early 60s Blackwell built the most diverse and enviable back catalogue of any independent record label in history. From Island’s early Jamaican roots in ska and rock-steady, through the label’s expansion to become the cutting edge of progressive rock in the late 60s, and then on to the signing of such international superstars as Bob Marley and U2, Blackwell brought to Island a unique vision and passion which still informs the label’s approach to this day.
