STANDING OUT

Still on the theme of venturing back a few years and digging out your grandparents clothes is what is looking to be the THE THING
to do at the moment.

Why would you want to be the same as every other person you walk past in the street everyday. You need to create your own style and stand out from the crowd and be individual this summer! You will be surprised what you can find!

Be yourself

YEEZUS

Why is Yeezus going to be the stand out album of 2013 or possibly our generation?

For a start Kanye has a fan base massing way over Jesus' 12 disciples. Not to mention his record label 'G.O.O.D MUSIC' which features artists such as: Common, John Legend, 2 Chainz, Pusha T, Big Sean, etc.

Although non of the G.O.O.D family feature on Kanye's Yeezus Album, he has ex label friend Kid Cudi on one of his 10 tracks (guilt trip) in which Cudi, as per, gives perfect vocals changing the whole feel of the song.

Another artist to feature on the album is the forever cool Frank Ocean. He features in the track 'New Slaves' which is a rage against machine, government opposing, black powered, raw, original track from Kanye.

Kanye also has a track on the album titled 'I Am A God' Featuring 'GOD'. Now that's a statement, Kanye features GOD on his album. Making movements is an understatement. Obnoxious it may be from Kanye, but the truth is, ONLY Kanye could do that and get away with it.

If you're a 'College Dropout' Kanye fan. This album is NOT for you.

If you're a 'Late Registration' Kanye fan. This album is NOT for you.

If you're an '808's & Heartbreaks' Kanye fan.

This album is NOT for you.

If you're a 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' fan.

This album is NOT for you.

YEEZUS is a giant fuck you in the face of the industry and controversy as a whole. It's a black skinhead punk album with a very rare hip hop twist. Unreal beats and production push it that little bit further towards fulfilling all the hype the album has been given.

The whole 10 track spectacle is raw and real, proving Kanye is one of the best to ever step foot in the studio. Whether its producing or rapping, he is the man.

YEEZUS OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE: June 18th.

TRACK OF THE WEEK

THE WEEKND- TWENTY EIGHT

Why do we love this track so much? Well after the success of his 3 mix tape releases, Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) released 'Trilogy' his debut album. Which features all 3 mixtapes, with additional tracks. TWENTY EIGHT is one of those.

With perfect harmonies and collected chilled out vocals, this song reminisces a young Michael Jackson, mixed with the relevance of today's youth and a story of one mans desperate attempt of keeping his love life and bedroom antics quiet due to his recent found fame.

A true genius at work.

RICKI FUCKIN' HALL

Ricki.

Ricki Hall X Lacoste

Effortlessly Cool. Tweed combination with a plain white tee, skinny trousers & messy hair. Not too mention that beard.

Ricki Hall P&Co collaboration.

Has the past 50's fashion, mixed with an 80's skinhead and a touch of 30's gentleman been revamped and improved by Ricki? You best believe it. Past and present trends mixed with a tailored, yet effortless approach to the outfits makes Ricki Hall the fashion icon/ model he is... Not to mention that beard.
