Dan Black: "Symphonies Remixed" EP
I had the opportunity to speak with Dan Black last week. The UK singer/songwriter touched on many topics, including the horror that was "Symphonies", a song that sounds a lot like "Umbrella" and was originally released as a cover of B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize". A few days before turning in the final album and pushing that release campaign button, Black and co. got a call from the Wallace estate vetoing any use of "Hypnotize" and Black was forced to switch up the track that broke him to U.S. audiences and was a youtube cult classic. Well, the light is at the end of the tunnel, as "Symphonies" has a life of it's own and many many remixes, including one featuring Kid Cuid. The remixes will all be released on May 25th via an EP, which you can listen to now free of charge after the jump. Check for our interview with Dan Black coming soon.

Jay West: Drugs + Candy (Mixtape)
We've seen a lot of real talent come out of Southern California over the past couple years showing the artistic integrity that the west coast can hold true to. Next up in line is a dude named Jay West who is not only handing out something you'd never take from a stranger but something that you should refuse from a friend as well. If your mind didn't put the two together, Drugs + Candy is the title of this rookie emcee's project which has been making heat waves much farther than the warmth of the west. The project will highlight production from Sweatbox Music, A.D.D. (Hollyweerd), SMKA (Pill, Yelawolf, Outasight), and Drop Braxton (Lupe Fiasco, Amerie), as well as guest features from the likes of London, Dreamer of Hollyweerd and breakthrough newcomer, Marian Mereba. Check out Drugs + Candy below the cut, and expect to hear more about Jay West around these parts we like to call Ruby Hornet.

George Condo is an American artist who has teamed up with Supreme on a run of skateboard decks. On Thursday May 6, the collaboration will be available both in store and online. Condo designed three decks for the project, each with a different feel from the next. The standout would be the Superman-inspired deck, but all three deserve a look.

Prada Does Print
Prada's new "Print Collection" has got a lot of heads turning. The collection is made up of 1950's inspired dresses, ballet flats, and chain strapped quilted handbags all centered around archive Prada prints. I'm really diggin' the retro vibe of the line. The dresses are so lady-like, I love them! My favorite pieces are definitely the handbags. I love anything with a chain strap, with so many prints to choose from it's hard to pick a favorite!
Look out the the "Print Collection," slated to hit Prada stores mid-May.
