Double Kickflips with B.L.A
I decided to film myself popping this double kickflip skateboard trick I taught myself.

(A tip is to flick it hard through the bolts diagonally.)

Enjoy earthlings.

"THE P.O.P VOLUME 2" HAS ARRIVED

     Hello Floaters, I'm happy to say, the wait is over. We've tweaked our latest project to perfection for your listening pleasures. Our sound is evolving, with even heavier electronica and hip-hop influences and a generally more well produced sound.

     The mixtape was primarily produced by Kyle "Keilay", with secondary production by Dj Depthone on the song "Pop Off." Vocals are by the P.O.P tribe.

     So listen in, show your support with comments and views, tell your friends to tell a friend, go like us on Facebook, & most importantly, KEEP FLOATIN'! 



Peace out.

HYPE! February 24th 2012

DJ Depthone
Mayhem
P.O.P

On Friday we (B.L.A, DJ Depthone, Kyle "Keilay" and Mely-Ru) did our first HYPE! party in Pittsburgh, PA at the Shadow Lounge. We had headlining DJ's Mayhem and Noah D come through and make Pittsburgh massive for the night. Depthone killed it, P.O.P killed it, everybody got wasted. Keep watch for HYPE! postings in the future!...

Inked.

I got inked about a week ago. I got the crown straight from this Maya Angelou x Jean-Michel Baquiat children's book circa 1993 which I re-discovered in my father's crib.

Burberry Prorsum  Fall 2012 

 Christopher Bailey has done Burberry Menswear a solid, once again.  Greatly tailored suiting for the slimly shaped guy. The quilted jackets  have evolved and have a cooler, updated shape and design this season.  The velvet suits are exciting and the athletic touches like the solid striped puffy jackets gives menswear a youthful feel. It's satisfying.

 Alexander McQueen Fall 2012

 This season Sarah Burton gives the Alexander McQueen man sleek looks that play with texture.  From the satin sleeve on the wool baseball jacket to the shearling jacket paired with satin pants, each look combines cozy fall fabrics with modern metallic elements. Staying true to the Alexander McQueen look of royalty, this season offers a more athletic approach with baseball jackets and pegged pants. A favorite of mine is the velvet plaid suit, it has a perfect fit and is reminiscent of 1970's suiting.

I-D Magazine Chinese New Year's Issue.

Or should i say issue's.  I-D magazine puts out their Pre-Spring issue “Whatever The Weather” with 12 different covers each featuring a different portrait. Only four will be in print, the others can be seen via i-donline.com or various online outlets like floatertainment. I really like that the magazine has shown the diversity of Asian  women and they've seem to have one china's top fashion photographer Chen Man for the job. The color pallets are energetic and the title what ever the weather rise and shine is quite poetic . that's my last note .

WEAR YOUR SOCKS !

They cover your feet , keep you warm in the cold weather, and accent your shoe game.Wear your socks! This gives you a chance to accessorize as well as personalize each outfit. This  fall and winter it's definitely a popular look, but as usual the concept is nothing new and perfectly classic.
