Honesty has left me too exposed.

The Hundreds are making moves with bay area rap legend, the slang spitter himself E40. TH x E40.. The limited edition tee features a selection of E-40’s iconic slang, in the style of liquor store signage, along with the Bomb logo and an E-40 logo at the top back. Great addition to your growing t-shirt collection.


End of month special.

Picture of the day! One man's trash is another man's treasure..

Hello sunshine.



Mighty Healthy presents this new video for the King of Spring 2010, held in Harlem, New York over the weekend. The piece was directed by Kellen Dengler. Enjoy!

Well Executed.

Watch of the day! The In4mation crew has taken it to a whole new level with the fourth installment of the collaborative watch series.

After three highly sought after collectibles, G-SHOCK and the Hawaiian-based brand fuse the latest G-SHOCK technology with the In4mation alternative design concept in the GLX6900X-2. Irreverently clad in sleek gray with yellow and red accents, the GLX6900X-2 remains rooted in In4mation’s surf heritage.

Harmonizing with the surfer lifestyle, the G-SHOCK In4mation chronograph features 200M water resistance, low temperature resistance, tide graph and moon data graph for the ultimate in tracking high and low tides. Even the EL Backlight reflects In4mation’s legacy with a red shaka sign, the definitive symbol of aloha and Hawaiian culture.

Infinite rhymes, raw beats and lyrics that breaks boundaries, your legacy will not be forgotten.

So I leave you with this..RIP GURU.
