monday 1.16.17 ••• MLK Day finally that i have a day off to write this, here's my piece. to be able to witness such talent is amazing, but to be able to call/consider some of these individuals homie's, a-alikes, or even brothers is another. but before thanking the one person for opening these avenues and allowing me into his private sector, i have to thank two people that i consider my brothers, SMTF general @rpreme & BMTF general @pauly_popo . honestly, w/o these two individuals, i'd probably not be writing this column of appreciation and not meeting the man that's continuing to open doors for myself, along for/with many others, @lowski_noc . from meeting some of his crew memebers of the legendary 2X back to back ITF Champs, #NocturnalSoundKrew @oxblood & @compose_nocboy to recent members @eskae & @djdeception , it's a real humbling experience to be quite honest. just to be able to "what's up" and a handshake is cool, but to be able to have conversations is iller. i give these guys a lot of respect (bc knowing what they accomplished), but to receive it from them is another. some individuals have acquired hot air balloon sized egos because they are better than the muggles like i, but with these guys, they make you feel comfortable around them. i appreciate that. it sort of feels like when i would go to the skatepark, i would sit on the side and jus watch my friends skate. i was more of the observer and also being blown away by the skills some of my friends/individuals possessed. i'd hope to one day be dope as my contemporaries in all fields of creativity. plus, i hope there will be more events like this to the show the youth the truth. #nmlshi #nevermeetinglowerstandards #nocturnalmindedlifestyle #djing #skratching #tableist #hiphop #hiphopculture

so this happened last night... j dilla's younger brother, john aka illa j, performed some of his and his brother's classic joints along with @rhettmatic on the one's and two's, and who also, was very close with dilla. glad that some of my friend's came out, but i couldn't skip out on this possibly once in a lifetime performance, especially in hawaii. been listening to dilla a little over 10 years now and some of his brother's work, but this was worth it. wish dilla were still alive so i could've seen the yancey boy's together. rest in beats dilla. #illaj #jdilla #rhettmatic #yanceyboys #worldfamousbeatjunkies #beatjunkies #beatjunkiesounds #soul #hawaii #hawaiianbrians

feature x saucony g9 shadow 6 "high roller" never thought i'd own a pair, let alone see in the flesh, but thanks to my a-alike @mfxtykil i was able to get these second hand. compared to what they were going for on the bay, it was an automatic cop. inspired by the $100 chip, they used the shadow 6000 upper, color blocked by perforated white leather on the toe/mudguard and heel tab, with the rest of the shoe covered with buttery black suede with hits of salmon pink scattered about. scotch-lite, aka 3m, hits on the 3dots, heel, and lining on the tounge. the midsole, grid 9000, is also color blocked as well as speckled with white and salmon. definitely a tough shoe, plus it is 1/3 of the high roller pack, which i'm trying to complete, steadily. if i may add, cards my not be my strong suit (no pun intended), but i do love to gamble with dice, once a go to during high school. so, these have a special place in my heart. 🎲🎲 ••• #saucony #feature #sauconyxfeature #sauconyoriginals #sauconyog #sauconycollabs #sauconycollaborations #sauconysneaks #sauconyhybrids #sauconyhawaii #shadowmob #3dotgang #rockyoursaucs

it's been much harder these past couple of months to properly go out, let alone dig in the crates, but when an opportunity strikes, especially with something like this sporadic event, i seize the moment. it has been a hot minute since i've dug through records and gotten my fingers dirty in the long process, but, personally, this is why i love digging: to discover things that have been forgotten in the accumulation process. so, i got the call from lowel about his crew member/homie @eskae selling his records/work paraphernalia. cool thing about this is that i had just met eskae christmas day evening while he spinning at lobby bar and then days later to be invited to his abode to pilfer through his grand collection. what you see on the ground, was not even half of his collection, plus those were his giveaway selection. one's contained in boxes and in his house were for sale, and not bad prices either. albeit there were some records he couldn't depart, while we were sifting through, which made sense because 1. with a big collection, you may have forgotten that copy had even existed in your collection, and 2. a sense of nostalgia/attachment you have towards that record. to sum it up, we were doing the hard work for him (haha), but that's the fun of it because of finding gems you've been seeking for sometime. so, for my dig, i got a good grip for myself and it will eventually be posted up, tagged #eskaecollection. as the night slowly came to a close, i was able to have brief convo with the man, asking him when he started collecting (around 95ish) and jus personal questions about the state of hip hop and dj'ing culture. i will say, on my behalf, that i enjoyed this once in a lifetime experience because he gave away what we didn't take on the floor to jelly's. big s/o to @lowski_noc for informing me & also big s/o again towards @eskae for letting me & friends dig through his collection and having us at his home. 📹: @lowski_noc 🏠: @eskae #nocturnalsoundkrew #nsk #dj #tableist #records #vinyl

clarks wallabee boot // chalk combi to the homies that know me personally, they know how much i love wallabees. such a timeless shoe that personally it beats whatever new shoes/sneakers that are hype nowadays, and yes i'm taking personal stabs. it has more of story to me than these new silhouettes releasing now. albeit i hardly wear these due to lack of comfort, there will always be a huge of this shoe placed in my heart & sole, and i do break these out every so often. plus, i'm happy that wallabee a aren't overpopularized. head's know. #clarks #clarksoriginals #wallabee #wallabeeboot

saucony grid 9000 (samples) • mints Definitely one of my favorite GR color way from saucony, these minty joints do hold up pretty well by themselves. One day, i'd like to see a hybrid of grid 9000 upper sitting on a shadow 6000 midsole. that'll be nice. @sauconyoriginals @saucony_shadowlurking @sauconysneaks #shadowlurking #shadowmob #sauconysneaks #sauconyoriginals #grid9000 #3dotgang #sauconyhawaii
