Even though I was rousted out of bed at an ungodly hour this Saturday by FedEx for an ultra rare weekend delivery I can’t front like I wasn’t stoked to receive a sick metal mystery case from Nigel Sylvester. My apologies to FedEx if “stoked” came across more like “what the fuck are you doing here at 9am, if you ever do that again I’m gonna fuck you up,” but either way the Nigel Sylvester “Making Moves Since ‘87″ case is fresh to death. See the full looks on Radcollector.

The Frends x 77Klash x New Era 59Fifty designed by Marcus Burrowes marks the beginning of a takeover. There is no I in Frends but there is definitely an I&I! Big up to all involved. These drop this summer. Bong Bong. Swag.

My main man Brad Clarke aka Kid Bradical just dropped the ill apparel pack with CCS! Word to the Clarke Collection – shit is getting mad love – peep Radcollector, Frank151, even trend forcasting giant StyleSite getting in on the action. Oh and those brilliant photos from the hood? Yep, shot by yours truly. Get your Clarke on right here!

Super sneak peek at the Timbo Plaid coming from CCS in 2011. Yeah Kristina! More on this collabo to come!

Hands down these eS x Mad Decent joints are my favorite kicks out right now. It is impossible for me to go anywhere in the city without at least one person saying something, that’s when you know its a collabo done right. Good looks to Brian Jones for sending them my way! (and thanks to Mel for not completely ruining them on his birthday, damn dude!)

Curtis keeps on killing it: Love Me x Ace Hotel up in V Man son!

Speaking of Nike 6.0, their whole program is pretty rad right now from their team to their programming and now down to their new product. This has all to do with the people behind the brand. Tim, Sierra, Driscoll, Zach and crew are dedicated heads who know exactly what they are doing which made it surprising that they allowed me to jump onto the the Nike iD program for their new silhouette, the Mavrk Mid 2. Psych – I killed it! Check out this flip I did in correlation with Rad Collector and my personal label Caranguejo do Norte – the Nike 6.0 Mavrk 2 “Beleza.” Todos meus Brasileiros sabem o que eu significo! 360 looks after the jump. I can’t wait to rock them!

When is the last time you heard of anyone giving a fluck about a Broadway play? For me I think it was when I was ten and peeped Phantom of the Opera, although I can’t front on the one man version of A Christmas Carol by Captian Jean Luc Picard aka Patrick Stewart that my moms brought me to one year. That was pretty dope. But the truth is, Broadway is a played out genre and when times is tough, dropping 80 bones for some singing and dancing ain’t really in people’s budgets outside of Chelsea, nah mean? That is until the Roc gets in the building. In a move that makes it impossible to deny that he is the Bo$$, Jay-Z swooped in as executive producer for the new musical Fela! and now it’s the hottest shit in the streets. Not that the heat is undeserved, the story of Fela is one of the best in modern times, and his music is time eternal, but throwing a 3 plus hour Afro-beat freakoff every day is not how the Eugene O’Neill theatre usually gets down. I haven’t seen it yet but everything I’ve heard is that it’s one of the dopest shows put together in any medium in a while. On top of that, my big homie and BLK OPS general Brian Deka PauPaw was commissioned to do handmade one-of-a-kind blazers for the show and was interviewed for a webisode about the experience. Big up my dude! To read his account of it, check Deka’s column on Rad Collector.

Together with my grande parceiro, Lucas Penido from TheHypeBR, I took part in an interview with Converse Brasil about the legendary John Varvatos. The clip, or episodio as it’s called, is currently running front and center on the Converse Brasil site. The funny shit is, I did the interview via Skype and I guess the video got fucked up so they just took a bunch of stills from the column, good thing I didn’t have anything too buck wild up there, damn. I gotta shout out the dude who put it together, Daniel Bacchieri, as well as re-insert my plea to Varvatos himself that got edited out of the final version: John, bring CBGB’s back. New York needs it. Your store will be cool no matter where you put it. Valeu! Peep the vid on the Converse site right here.

You’ve peeped some of the flicks and a lot of you have run into me on the streets this month, but it’s not until tomorrow night that we formally unveil the Antenna X Kia Soul Expression. We’ll have the vehicle stuntin at our secret lair (yes inside the party) while Kid Cudi handles host duties. We aimed to give you just enough time to recover from fashion week for this one. It’s going to be major. Some nice studio shots of the whip after the jump.

Quick Update – if you didn’t rsvp last week, you aren’t getting in. Don’t worry I’ll have photos here for you to dream on…
