Suede Jones: Smooth Material (EP)

And there we have it folks, ItsNate dropped his new tape for lunchtime as promised. Suede Jones: Smooth Material has the North Londoner on his velvet ish providing those bedroom bars on spacey and galaxy zoning beats. Production duties handled by talents such as Budgie Fire Beats & Crank La-Dank. The EP features Super Dertie & Young Skout from Piff Gang as well as Chockz The Rapper.

Had the pleasure of hearing an advanced rough copy over the weekend. Do Yourself a favour and download this quality 6 track offering here

Check the first single below, if you haven't already.

Real Estate

This song dropped yesterday, didn't play it until this morning and now I cannot stop playing it. No idea about the placement of this song but it (to me anyway) is something special. Wiz Khalifa is really doing a lot on hooks these days, not to say I wasn't listening a while ago. The beat is retarded as well. And yes, another Taylor Gang/JETS related post. Sue me. Listen below.

Fast Lane

The newest G.O.O.D. Music signee, Cyhi Da Prynce recently dropped a mixtape, Royal Flush, to announce his arrival to the mainstream. He has been popping up on a few of Kanye's G.O.O.D. Friday tracks, and also on the now famous BET cypher with all his labelmates. Before linking up with the house that 'Ye built, he has been signed to Def Jam since February. A raspy voice, nice flow and clever lyrics can describe this song 'Fast Lane'. The song has a laid back feel, and the hook is also nice. 

Should be seeing more of Cyhi in the new year.

Drake's second single off 'Thank Me Later', shot in Jamaica, visuals by Anthony Mandler, beat produced by Kanye West. Enjoy.

Stalley @ Mishka.

A video of Ohio rapper, Stalley looking for some threads. I really like the personal, behind the scenes view, Creative Control offers. More on Creative Control (some real dope directors) and Stalley to come soon.

Manbags For Your Gladrags

Dont' know about you lot, but I feel like I have reached the point where I feel need to take a holdall for anything of significance, such as weekend trip back to London or a two hour lecture on campus. I have one at the mo, but I am on the prowl for many more, so take a butcher's at some of them.

I personally think this bag is a lot, a nice canvas holdall from ASOS. I wouldn't break it off with those brown shoes though, not yet anyway.

Last year I was this close to buying something similar, this rucksack from Mango is smart, but maybe a tad too big.

An all black everything stitched offering from Ted Baker. Sub-par for me.

A leather look holdall from ASOS. Kind of decent in my opinion.

All of these bags and more can be found in the ASOS Bags section .
