Mike Malbon has been pushing the creative envelope of the Chop Shop since it’s inception. Continuing with his documentary shorts surrounding the life and times of the LES barber shop he drops a new series this week with “Short Story.” Look for cameos from many of Essex Street’s familiar faces and stay tuned for new episodes dropping regularly. Read more about it here.

Check out Sheikh Malbon. The homie Mike just got off the Gumball3000 race and has apparently become Saudi royalty. Between nearly 6000 miles of highway, maybe a party or two, and a night in the bing in New Orleans with Duane Peters and Trigger Gumm for shooting off fire works out of a moving vehicle (at least that’s what the cops called it), Mike was given the honorary head garb from Sheikh Amro Kalawi of Saudi Arabia. Not a bad look kid! You can check out more of Mike’s Gumball madness at Frank151.com.
