The clown princes of hip-hop released their latest mixtape and from what we’ve heard of it so far, it’s ice cooooold. Download it for free at their MySpace and be sure to keep your windows rolled down this weekend. Here’s our favorite song:
Cool Kids - Full & Paid
Alright, this pic has been out for a few days now but what the hell, here you go if you haven’t caught it yet. Here’s what we know about the Air Yeezy: uber exclusive, may not ever get a release, aaaaand that’s about it. Come on people, what will it take to get a Wikipedia [...]
Kanye’s favorite Canadian DJ, A-Trak, has joined the ranks of LCD Soundsystem and Aesop Rock to create a mix for Nike’s Original Run campaign. The 45 minute mix, dubbed Running Man, will not only be the DJ’s first full-length production but will also provide his first official single with the release of “Say Whoa.” I guess you might [...]
