Surf Club producer Chase N. Cashe just released this wonderful mixtape of sweet instrumentals. The New Orleans native comes with an interesting approach on tracks like “Space Cowboy”, “Fresh Out”, and “Tetris”. This mixtape will have you nodding your head from the beginning to the end. Also, if you’re an emcee or aspiring artists there’s plenty of dope tracks available to practice your rhyming skills. Be sure to stay in tune for what The Surf Club has in store next. Karla “hustleGRL” Moy a good friend of ours did an outstanding job on the artwork for this project.

The North Coast Music Festival was a huge event in Chicago. On the third and last day of the festival, we got up close and personal with Flying Lotus.  Lotus had an intense (almost magical) connection with the crowd that came out to see his performance.  Hands down, Flying Lotus is a cool guy.

For Fall / Winter 2010, Louis Vuitton presents new versions of their Tower sneaker in both low top and high top versions.  This time they decided to go with a woven premium leather upper, which actually looks pretty nice.  The high top also comes with a low lace strap and both feature accents on the side-panels in dark blue.

It seems like more and more now days Twitter is the place to be to get all the information on brands, athletes, and your favourite celebrities.  Yesterday on Twitter Nick Tershay, the owner of Diamond Supply Co. released a preview to his followers showing them an upcoming collaboration with rapper Curren$y with the message “Diamond Supply Co. x Curren$y Collection Lifers!”.  Also while talking to the rapper, after he posted the picture, he informed him that the collaboration will come in more colours.  So be on the lookout for this collaboration and let’s see what else Nicky Diamonds and Curren$y have planned for this release.

The more we listen to J. Cole, the more we enjoy him.  Fresh joint, fresh lyrics.  This comes straight from the MC’s blog too.  Cole spits over Kanye’s Devil In A New Dress.  He also mentions a new mixtape on the way.  Definitely worth the download.

Lupe Fiasco was the last act on the Groupon Stage at the North Coast Music Festival.  Before we go on, there’s nothing like experiencing  a Lupe Fiasco concert set live.  Fiasco is great at putting on a show so good you could slap your mother.  The highlight of his set was  his performance of  “Go To Sleep” live for the first time.

Further on in the set, he performed “Dumb It Down” and several other smashing hits from his last release The Cool.  Overall, we were feeling his dashiki infused t-shirt with the face of Malcolm X printed on the front.  The shirt reminds of his Rick Ross B.M.F. (Freestyle) where he says, ” I think I’m Malcolm X, Martin Luther, add a King, add a Jr.”  Chicago loves you Lupe.  No matter what anybody says keep doing you!
