BBC Metallic
Oh-O-O, if metallic anything isn't popular I don't know what is! BBC has metallic accessories now and they are pretty hot, although I can't say that about all things metallic...BBC is definitely on to something here, metallics in small doses like the belt and wallet or even shoes are pretty dope additions to most outfits. You can find the BBC belt and wallet at most BBC and Ice Cream retailers.

Before The Music Dies Trailer
"BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tells the story of American music at this precarious moment. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation. The answers they found on this journey-ultimately, the promise that the future holds-are what makes BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES both riveting and exhilarating."
The movie includes the input of Eric Clapton, Erykah Badu, Elvis Costello, Alan Light, Toure, ?uestlove, Dave Matthews, and more and is narrated by Forest Whitaker. For those of you in NYC, the movie is being screened on Friday the 29th @ Ashford and Simpsons, 254 W. 72nd. I'm not in NYC and won't be at the screening, so let me know how it goes.

RH TV: 9 Minutes and Classic Vinyl W/DJ Drama
Two DJ Drama videos for the price of one....That price being free...Now that's a great deal. Barack O'Drama hit up the Windy City last week on his promo tour for Gangsta Grillz The Album 2 and of course had to check in with the RH crew to talk about the GG re-up. Live from the lobby of the Alegro Hotel, Drama and RTC reminisce over some of Hip Hop music's most important pieces of wax, then continue to talk about Chicago's place in Hip Hop, why Drama takes on a presidential moniker, and how GG 2 compares to the first edition. Check out both videos below.
