Why were there no posts from me over the weekend? Simple answer – lack of focus. I took on too much work and priorities wise, Y&Y fell down the shipping order. Sad but true – client work took priority :( blessed for the opportunity that I was given so had to dedicate time to that task to ensure the end result was on point. So expect a burst of posts in the next few days from me, hopefully. Tyler Perry‘s latest vlog inspired me to write this post; in the video he urges us to narrow our focus down to ONE AREA, work hard to make it work and everything else will fall into place. Bit of an extended Dope Quote here, hop on after the cut.

So on Saturday was a day of two half for me. Having woke up after a deep and meaningful sleep that lasted all of 1 hour I headed down to the studio (photography studio), still intoxicated, to meet Yin. After the shoot was done I took my ass home and slept for a lil bit. Having returned to being a fully functioning human being I then took my self down to the second studio shoot of the day where I again met up with Yin. We had no business being on set really other than just to be there but it was good just to be in the presence of such talented people. Olan was busy doing his thing behind the camera creating his next Cardy Films masterpiece while Joel Baker and Monique Sian were busy looking pretty and showing off their acting skills. If you guys aren’t familiar with Joel and Monique then take a peak at our previous Eargasms post but before you do that just watch the visuals that Olan has crafted. May I just add that this was shot on Saturday, his turnaround is crazy I don’t know how he does it.

These days it is quite rare to hear a song that instantly makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. So when you do, you need to sit up and pay attention. This is exactly how I felt when I heard ‘I want you‘, the debut single of New Orleans newcomer Luke James. The falsetto of the chorus is just wow. As for the video-well I can’t find words! Just hot. Peep the video after the jump.

This particular post has me feeling quite proud. Do you remember a little while ago when I showcased an unsigned artist by the name of Ethan Breakaway? Well today I am pleased to present you with his debut mixtape entitled Sans Voix. The set sees Ethan singing eight original tracks and two covers, including a cover of Beyonce‘s ‘I Miss You‘, with all the tracks being produced by this talented young man. I urge all of you to head over to the flipside and give the mixtape a listen, a download link has been provided.

Spring/Summer this year looks to be a good one for Nixon as they release images from their ‘Oxyde‘ collection. The collection comprises of wallets, belts, watches, iPad cases, you name it! Boasting high quality leather and an earthy colour pallet, the Oxyde collection is a step up form anything I’ve seen from Nixon in the past. With this new vintage look, you can expect brushed steel bezels and dark leather straps along with premium Horween leather. See the collection after the break.

Video Jukebox episode 3! This is going well, I’ve received some positive feedback on this weekly post and I’m starting to even receive requests (even though it was from Yin haha) so that makes it all worth the 3 hours it takes me to write this (alongside some pondering) This week I’ve picked quite a random bunch from pop-trash Ke$ha (I promise you it’s good), nu-rave 14th, some corny R&B from Carl Thomas, Hip Hop from ItsNate, Overdoz, Mikill Pane and the Bakery Boys, soul from the lovely Iman Omari and last but no ways least, some thought provoking poetry from Dean Atta! Hit the jump to check the visuals, and enjoy :-)!
