GZA.

GZA at Metro Theatre. I was excited all week. Finally some real hip hop in Australia. i missed the feeling of being at a concert/gig and seeing someone perform live. Its so worth it, nothing compares. Apart from me and Nora being pretty much the only girls there it was incredible. The atmosphere was just so alive. He came out and ripped the stage, i was pretty much standing, just staring in awe. The way he is with words amazes me. You have got to listen to some of his tracks. He's been around for a long time (WuTang) so he knows what he's doing. Great night.

Get a hold.

Just a bunch of stuff i kind of want but don't need now. I've been working so much lately and I'm quite over it, may as well spoil myself. Money is just money after all.

1. Kid Cudi: I love you.

2. Cupcakes: nom nom nom..


3. Ipod nano: The new one can record videos! Damn you apple for always getting bigger and better.

4. Gucci Bicycle: This costs like so much but i love the shape of it. Any bike would do, really.

5. Siren shoes 'Cubic': These are insane and i would like them on my feet.


6. Denim shirt: Preferably by Levis because they know their denim.

7. Billion Boys Club Jumper: I know, winter is over but this just looks too good.

SWAGG.

Nora and i had the amazing opportunity to shoot two of our good friends from SWAGG a couple of weeks ago. Anr Drekz the International Editor and his lovely girl Caramelized Kimchi aka Julia Lee. Despite the bad weather that day we found an awesome little place near by and we managed to get some 'money shots' aha. It was such a great experience. To Julia and Demian thank you for allowing us to do it. You guys look dope!

Nothing but your tee shirt on.

A night filled with wackness, strawberries, mexicana doritos and what have you not. It took us a precise four hours of dedication to make our official and first HI-DEFINITION tee of a shirt. It's our first and there will definitely be more to come for hi-def (brand wise). Hope you enjoy the appearance of the shirt as much as we did making it. Hidef apparel is well on it's way to becoming a brand. Drop a comment and let us know what you think.
Enjoy it Ladies and Fellas. a

Poetic justice.

Our dear bro/bruv/brethren decided to share his poetic side with us just recently and dayum its killing me. I told him he should rap but he replied ‘i dunno if i do the rapping scene’. I am so happy to know a brother who can create goodness with his literature. I present to y’all, the viewing public a poem which left me in utter admiration. More to come from the sir that i shall share with you all.

Peace by piece
What’s wrong with the world baba gee,
Every corner I turn, I see
Souls drowned in animosity.
Family break downs and disunity
Have become the pillars of modern society
Why can’t people see with a sense of clarity, what should and shouldn’t be
We are all Gods’ children, how could we let this be
Oh baba, baba gee
Guide me.

Busk it baby.

I am one who appreciates buskers of all junctures. The way they can stay out and just perform for inhabitants Is astonishing. There are many buskers but there are only one group which impress me. If you have strolled in the city during the night you will know who I am speaking about. These buskers are only the most superb buskers your ears will take pleasure in hearing.

I discovered them a while back and was amazed by the musical goodness they delivered to the passing brothers and sisters. It was the ‘Viva La Vida’ performance which alarmed thy self. The way they could sing the chorus then pick up the violins Just in time for the bridging part was seriously an epic scene. These guys are stadium status I think. The mix of alternative tracks they perform every night near the ‘Hype DC’ store makes me feel blissful and G double O D good.

We were lucky enough to be venturing in the city streets last night as we had great pleasure in shooting some snaps of them for your viewing pleasures. I do believe however that an image for your eyes won’t deliver what they do each night they play. If your out in town you should seriously check them out. You will be left wordless like when you go to a live concert. Oh and we were so high off the pleasant sounding music that we forgot to get their names. For now they are the legendary buskers outside 'Hype DC' sneaker store.

The Cave Of The Yellow Dog

I was up and awake last night for absolutely no reason, but I am glad I was roaming through the channels as I came into contact with a film that was so calming and pleasant to my eyes. Foreign films with no plot and with commentary are golden. This film was set in Mongolia and composed by director Byambasuren Davaa . It strictly delineates simplicity and that’s why I could'nt blink as I did not want to miss a second of the blissful scenery. My state of mind and emotion was all very calm whilst watching the film. The graceful nature of the film and of course the very real people just made you want to suck the marrow out of life. They lived in essence of their atmosphere and they were very humble, a trait many inhabitants of the Earth seem to dismiss. Y’all should check it, It is so worth the viewing.

Simmer down, D.
