The Reset IIII


This long weekend will probably have been the most tiring of my life to date. It will have started in east at the Reset IIII 1948 on Friday, where I headed after work to see what crack the UK Streetwear brands had managed to cook up since the last one back in April, was it April? It might have been May, anyway forgive the confusion I am quite tired and confused.
I was at the Nike Reset IIII from Friday to saturday, obviously I went home but you get my drift, I was present on both days.Friday was the busier of the two plus it didn't rain and considering the past couple of days that's a massive bonus, however on Saturday it did chuck it down, nonetheless here's couple pics from Friday - Saturdays activities.












































































Now for the Black and White, I think these are better...
.














































































































Right thats enough pics for now, I might upload some later on but I think i'm going carnival now.
Peace...

Not an actual part of the Carnival but Yasmin's 'Bad Intentions' will be rather good during the day & into the night on Sunday @ The Chepstow, perfect if you need to jam it out a little bit but still want good music & vibes!

























Extra Stout looks well worth finding with Get Me's Lixo, Heartless Crew's Mighty Mo, The Heatwave's Dan Bean + many more providing heat during both days.


















ATG are throwing a big party down with Swamp 81 on the monday evening @ The Pelican Pub with a bag of big djs in the mix

Roll Deep in Grime Shocker!



Look im not a hater, Im very happy that Roll Deep have had two Number 1 singles & are making that mainstream money...but I honestly I cant stand the two singles...but theyre not for me so blah!

It brings me happiness that I can blog their new GRIME mix cd 'Say No More' HERE

Furthermore, expect the forthcoming album to have actual Grime on it too! Remember 'In at the deep end' had a 'Heat Up' for every 'Shake a Leg' hush that sellout chat!

COOL KIDS = GOLD LINKS



BACK ON THAT GOLD CHAIN SHIT SAME OLD RIFF RAFF..... Get the Gone Fishing Mixtape here

WTF are you even on about ya wasteman!?



The styling is on point for this video.

Early 90's london dhutty rock chic, with a small piece of JC/DC, and a smattering of Lil Kim Nylon wig-ness, just for good measure.

Fingers Crossed, cos this tears the clubs apart, and Ms Dynamite is easily better than 90% of Uk female artists!

its out on August 30th!

Jay-Z x Nike Air Force 1 "all black everything"



Bluku Bluku!



You should have already bought D Double E's 'Streetfighter Riddim' on itunes & watched the Tim & Barry directed video.

Here's Dee's own Bluku Bluku TV Streetfighter tournament featuring the likes of P Money, JME, Logan Sama, Footsie + others kicking the shit out of eachother on the ps3!

#FML moments....

You just know it's gonna be a shit day, when two overweight, half naked men in a homo-erotic embrace bumrush your set...

Nike Air Force 1: Anatomy of an Urban Legend (trailer)

Many Microphones - Actual Proof Ft. 9thMatic, Rhapsody

This beat is dope and 9th didn't even produce it, he's on the hook though as his alias 9thMatic.
The spitters on this track are all part of his latest venture "It's a Wonderful World Music Group." His label that he has put together to forward his love of the hip hop that isn't largely subscribed to and played on the radio.


I'm feeling the female spitter Rhapsody (not like that guys) she's got bars she doesn't go as hard as I've heard her on a few other 9thWonder productions. You should check out her group Kooley High if your into that Little Brother and Pac Div kind of rap.
