Southside Queens New York artist Noah Caine delivers a sneak peek of his upcoming project Noah Caine: The Pre-Season. With new alias, Noah plans on dropping The Pre-Season at the top of the new year. It's only right that the first song he offers is referred to simply as "The Genesis".

THIS. TRACK. IS. CRAZY!!!!!!

Charli Brown is a really profound producer when it comes to laying down the canvas for someone like Noah to paint on. These two make an amazing team if this is what we have to expect from them in the future.

This reminds us that there's still hope in Hip-Hop. Definitely keeping an eye out for Noah's next project "The Pre-Season" when it drops.

Gear: COMME des GARCONS Pocket @ The One Hong Kong...

" COMME des GARCONS Pocket @ The One Hong Kong
11 hours ago ⋅ Style ⋅ by Staff
It was COMME des GARCONS who were among the first few to really push forward with the pop-up shop concept via their Guerrilla Stores dotted across the world. However given the ubiquity of the idea now, it has arguably lost a bit of its luster and excitement whenever you hear the word “pop-up.” Nevertheless, COMME des GARCONS launch a new concept titled Pocket that takes on many of the characteristics of the aforementioned pop-up Guerrila Stores. However, gone are the low-brow, hole in the wall venues in exchange for one of Hong Kong’s newer shopping establishments, The One. The month-long project will house a comprehensive line-up of PLAY COMME des GARCONS items including perfume, apparel and sneakers.

All We Want: Ronnie Fieg for Sebago 2011 Fall/Winter Iroquois Boots...

Via Hypebeast:

" Footwear designer, and now shop owner, Ronnie Fieg is gearing up for yet another quality release, this time for the much-heralded Black Friday. The offering is a pair of Sebago Iroquois Boots, one optioned in premium black leather and the other in oily chestnut suede. Much like his previous drop of the Odanak boots, these variations also welcome the detachable fringe that clearly entices with these makeups as well. Also lined in leather, each edition will see 96 pairs available, retailing at $160 USD, with availability on Friday, November 25 at 11 a.m. EST through Fieg’s Kith Brooklyn and New York locations, as well as online. "

With a very clean aesthetic, removable shroud, and a look that harkens back to the offerings of Visvim from Fall's of the past; we must say that Ronnie Fieg's latest brand re-interpretation, as we like to cleverly call it, has offered us yet again a spectacular Fall shoe for 2011.

We were able to snag a pair of the limited Ronnie Fieg x Polo Ralph Lauren Burnt Red Ranger boots, pictured below, in 2010 and we were more than delightful with the quality and design.



Needless to say we'll do our best to snag a pair to make our Winter that much more stylish and well kept.

Listen/ Download Here. LA VanGogh- Shayna Drew Me

Ok, here's something totally new...

L.A. VanGogh is an artist from the south suburbs of Chicago, signed to an independent label named JDR Sounds. He recently released his first music video for a newly released song called "Shayna Drew Me."

We enjoyed the clean aesthetic of the video, as is the case with most videos in this day and age being shot with digital SLR's, in addition to the chilled out vibe we got while going on a musical journey hearing thoughts from a man who recollects formulating them on the day when a young woman decided to capture his visage.

All in all the song is pretty good, it reminds us of a time in hip-hop when there were still long album cuts and B-Sides. We see bright things for this young upstart if he delivers consistently in his lane.

What are your thoughts?

Reach out to L.A. VanGogh and let him know what you think. Or simply follow his Twitter page and stay in the loop as he gets drawn some more.

You have a brand with a cult following in the boardroom as well as the streets. You get the brand officially situated on two coasts as well in Japan. You bring the brand to a demographic that has been wanting to see it manifest in the brick and mortar flesh for years. Then you win and then you win some more.

This has been the overall method to the madness for one of our beloved, as well as overly hyped, brands Supreme. They kicked off the grand opening of their LDN store with performances from Ghostface Killah and a bevy of celebs and socialites in the building.

Every NaS Fan's Wet Dream...Wow

*The good folks over at The Real Hip-Hop Head take a moment to give you a brief synopsis behind the Nasir fronted treasure.

The Lost Albums: Complete Series
10 Discs - 170 Tracks

Intro: This collection is a Nas' fans DREAM COME TRUE. If you ask Hip-Hop heads, "Who is the greatest rapper of all-time?", Nas is the most common answer you'll get. He dropped Illmatic in 1994, arguably the greatest Hip-Hop album, and has released 9 studio LP's since (if you include the wonderful The Lost Tapes) and 3 more collaboration albums (The Firm, Distant Relatives, QB's Finest).

After nearly 20 years in the game, Nas has also amassed quite a collection of underground material, unreleased tracks, and rare songs from soundtracks and compilations. Most of these songs are the quality we have come to expect from Nas. However, unless they've scoured the internet for rare tracks, many big fans of Mr. Jones have been missing out on a lot of true gems from their favorite rapper. And some of these tracks are nothing short of outstanding.

Creating The Lost Albums

With all that in mind, I created The Lost Albums; theoretical albums, which answer the question -- "What if Nas had made albums with all of these 'lost' tracks?" And at the same time, these dope tracks will be available for the first time all in one place. Since "theoretical albums" is the theme, I've also given a title and proper artwork to each album. Nas has such a tremendous catalog outside of his discography, I was able to compile five volumes (6 discs) and 99 total tracks. You will find all of Nas most rare tracks. And these are DOPE albums, not collections of throwaway tracks.

In the creation process, I tried to make for the best listening experience, and cohesion from track to track; giving the feel of a real album as much as possible. I chose to do this, rather than make an effort to keep tracks from around the same time together; songs from 2008 are mixed in with songs from 1994.

While compiling all of Nas' non-album tracks, I was also inspired to highlight Nas' extensive guest feature work. This turned into a four-disc collection, The Greatest Guest Features, and together with the five volumes of The Lost Albums, this is a very near-complete collection of Nas' non-album discography.

What tracks qualify for The Lost Albums?

Basically, any Nas track that isn't on one of his 13 Studio albums (including collaborations) -- Unreleased tracks meant for earlier albums; bootleg releases; internet leaks; bonus tracks not featured on the original album; songs from soundtracks or compilation projects.

Many hours were spent making sure The Lost Albums contains the highest quality version that exists on the net. Some of the tracks contain tags (DJ drops) or they are not CDQ (CD Quality) rips, but these are the best quality available for those songs. Also, a friend and producer, Ryan Gregory, has leveled out the sound (raising the volume on quieter tracks) and gotten rid of some of the tags and DJ shouts on others. Some of these songs are in better quality than could have been previously found before the release of The Lost Albums.

Enjoy.
