All I can say, on behalf of myself, Brek.One & Concepts, is thank you for the support. It was important to show people that Boston can come together for something real.

Thanks to Kinda Dusty for help with photos.

Concepts hosted a VIP listening party for Statik Selektah’s newest album “100 Proof, The Hangover”. The Show Off crew came through, Termanology & the ST fam, Kinda Dusty Crew, Reks, Joe Scudda (loving that Pabst), Karmaloop TV, 88.9 and his very first time in Boston- my big bro Bun B.

Big thanks Statik, Bun, Term (Free Easy Money- Mr. Dinero Facil) and for everyone that came through. Make sure to cop the album this Tuesday– its dope.

Any man that claims to fully understand women is full of shit. Women are like Apple products– ever evolving, better, faster, stronger, smarter with each generation. Right when you think you have it under control— a new upgrade kicks in and it’s time to relearn what you thought you knew.

I park in a garage near Concepts everyday and each day I walk by this Maserati on the way out. No matter what time I get there or leave– it’s there. I just assumed the driver had to put in some major hours at work to pay for this beautiful Italian.

By the look of the layers of dust on this bad boy, it seems it doesn’t move much.

That didn’t deter Luisa who left a little note under the wind shield wiper.

She has caught a case of “Maserati Lust”.

Luisa Facts:

-Doesn’t know who drives the car.
-Doesn’t know what he looks like (or if the owner is even a he).
-Doesn’t care how she comes off by leaving this sexual invite (what else the number for? To talk foreign luxury automobiles?)
-AND, the car looks damn near abandoned and she still felt the need to drop a note.

**Side bar: I’m no psychic but Luisa might not be hot at all. I’m just saying.

You might think it’s foul I posted the phone number— but come on, she left it in a busy garage.

Give her a call if your car game is up.

Your welcome very much.

Life is about meeting people, connecting and making things happen. Meet some friends.

“…DETROIT!”

My family from Detroit came through last week because they were (…this section is secret…) and its going to be amazing. Burn Rubber is fam and are quickly becoming one of the best shops in the Midwest.

For everyone that asked me who Ro Spit was when the joint I produced featuring him, Bun B, Big Sean and Curt@!n$ was circulating — they are one and the same.

Peep their site HERE and Ro’s site dedicated to his music HERE.

If you missed the joint we did, peep it here:

“Number One” featuring Ro Spit, Curt@!n$, Big Sean (Good Music) and Bun B (UGK)

The Motley Crew

Ro is so cultured….

Rick glasses game it ahead of mine….

SLAP!

This landed on my door step last week and as the resident “new model” wearer (it that a word?) at Concepts, I threw it on right away. Classic AJ colors, light, comfortable, and breathable— Its a go.

I’m not going to front, the window on the side bugs me out a little bit but you get used to it. I can’t help but wonder how dope this shoe would have been minus the window. It would have came off like a new age AJ3 with the clean leather section in the center of the shoe.

I’ve met quite a few Jordan execs and designers and this was not a random decision. There is a science behind everything ladies and gentlemen.

Yes. I had an Africa medallion when I was a kid. Early nineties they were the shit!

My man Chace Infinite got with NYCs Good Wood (and me on the help out) to chef up this piece for a few of his friends.

Talib Kweli already has his… and mine is in the mail.

Go to Good Wood’s site HERE for more information.

The big homie Set Free came through to the office today with the Philly phenom Gilbere Forte. Gilbere is a rapper / singer / producer that has been shaking up the net with his “Im so Appauled” freestyle over the instrumental for the Kanye joint that leaked last November. Well, the verdict is in - Mr. Forte (real name no gimmicks) absolutely bodied it.

Gilbere and Free have set the plan in motion and that involves scaring the shit out of the industry.

Keep your eye on GF and remember I told you first.

This is how the year ended at Concepts:

A well deserved self cradling of the nuts.

Concepts x Clarks Italian Patent Leather Wallabees (Olive, Maroon, Navy) - Sept 2009

We channeled our inner Ghostface on this project with the results being fly as fuck.

My G is too futuristic… I seen it like a Zenith.

Concepts x Timberland ‘Con-Ops’ 6″ Field boot / Mitchell & Ness ‘Con-Ops’ Tees and knit hats - Oct 2009

This boot was the equivalent to the new 50 Cent album “Before I Self Destruct”. Hard as hell and made for the block. Bodied. Enjoy this photo that didn’t make the campaign because of the obvious use of guns and ammo.

Concepts x New Balance ‘Freedom Trail Pack’ - 1500 and 875 Boot - Nov 2009

Coated in delicious chocolate, our New Balance project put smart dummies up on Boston history and put your feet in one of the illest NB’s collaborations ever created. Do the knowledge sucka.

Concepts x Sorel Caribou and Joan of Arctic - Dec 2009

Doesn’t get more serious than this. Made you not only cop your weapon for the winter war but also outfit your better half with an alternative to heels in snow. Oh, this was your first Sorel? Your welcome.

–

See you in the spring.
