Technically don’t have to be awake this early for once but my body just naturally gets up around 6:45-7. Sigh. I have a blood test to go to around 10, haven’t had one in years but they need to check if everything is fine, minor check-up. Last week saw the return of HBO‘s award winning series ‘How To Make It In America‘ and what a bloody start it was to season 2. The momentum picked up where it left off in Season 2 with the boys returning from Japan with a fully manufactured collection of clothing. Only to get stuck on the Metro and miss their brand Crisp’s launch night. I’m about to watch episode 2, join me after the cut.

I would love to give you guys a breakdown of the episode but I haven’t actually had time to watch it myself. Rushing to get ready for work and not looking forward to the sauna-esque commute on the Central Line. In fact, I’ve started going in a little later than I used to but can’t do that today with the Monday morning meeting. Right I’m off to try and make it in London, hop on after the cut to see a few statesiders do the same in New York.

It’s not where you’ve been but where you’re going. Real talk right there. One of the many things that made me fall in love with this show – it’s real and relatable. You get to see the character’s struggle to success, this is the story of them making it. If you want to see a TV show of folks showing off what they’ve made and living the ‘life’ then go watch Entourage. It’s made by the same people! go watch Season 1 online or on Sky before Season 2 of How To Make It In America kicks off in September. Peep the trailer on the reverse.

I’ve been a fan of The Streets since I hit my teen years and first recognized good music, back in early years of high school watching “Weak Become Heroes” on MTV2 before school. For those that don’t know, The Streets is a moniker for Mike Skinner; a creative rapper/producer if I had to choose who his more famous counterpart who you all would have heard of, I would liken him to Kid Cudi in the sense that his lyrics are a lot more personal and have meaning (most of the time) and he does this with eclectic sounds. After the cut catch his last album – Computers and Blues and his other creative offerings.

Homie Murry over at Pure Primary never ceases to amaze me with his visual artistry. This time he takes us on a blurry journey through East London’s Dalston, Shoreditch and Brick Lane areas. The editing is on point with the beat of the song, I don’t know how he does it…a lot of patience and skill? The Kid Cudi track is PERFECT, it adds to the overall eerie vibe of the video. The video is the first in a series of ‘Pure Primary Presents’ which will feature interviews, performances and dope visuals. Shot on a Canon 5D Mark II on a 50mm 1.4 lens – one of the lenses on my January student loan shopping list. Peep the clip on the flipside.

Nov. 9th marked the release of Kid Cudi‘s highly anticipated sophomore album Man on the Moon II: Legend of Mr. Rager. To celebrate the album’s release Cudi teamed up with BAPE for a limited edition Legend of Mr. Rager t-shirt. The streets of SoHo,New York were packed as tons of die hard Cudi fans waited in line all to see Kid Cudi. The queue was very long with lines wrapping around the block and several lines on across the street. As fans waited, people were able to make purchases in return for a raffle ticket with chances of winning a Skate deck, Posters and Vinyl. More after cut.
