I’m forever inspired by Levi. He symbolises what we’re all about here at Y&Y – fashion. music. art.  I’m really grateful that I got to meet him in London last year, a real visionary and is someone who knows exactly what he’s doing in life. Anywho, this episode features his acclaimed producer Hit-Boy. Ya’ll will know him for Lil Wayne’s Drop The World, Kanye‘s Christmas in Harlem and more recently Pusha T’s My God. If you haven’t heard the latter, listen to it here. It’s my track of the moment, the beat is just perfect for Pusha. Peep the special edition of episode on the reverse.

This a special edition of Levi Maestro‘s hit internet show Maestro Knows, why? because it’s the first episode that hasn’t been shot and edited by himself. Footage from last summer in Tokyo & NYC features Daichi Ito, Nigel Sylvester and 13th Witness. Daichi has to be the funniest and most positive Asian dude I’ve ever seen, his laugh is hilarious. ‘Levi is weird…sometimes….I am weird too’. Gawd, the Nigel Sylvester segment made me feel like I’ve achieved nothing as he’s only 22 and already on his way to becoming a legend. As always, Maestro delivers another inspiring epsiode for ya’ll to feed on. Peep it on the flipside.

This is what I love about Maestro Knows. He has introduced me to various inspiring people over the past year that I would have never heard of if it wasn’t for the show. This episode features NBA‘s number one rookie, Tyreke Evans. They head out to EA Sports to test out the new NBA Jam game on the wii, then to a court where Tyreke tries to teach Levi how to slam dunk.  Tyreke also asks Maestro why he’s called Maestro, it’s the first time anyone has ever asked him that on the show. Even I forgot to ask him that when I met him, I just assumed it was his name!

If you’ve been reading the site from the start then you will know how much Levi Maestro has inspired me. Also if you peeped that dope documentary on Influencers the other day, then you’ll know he is exactly the type of the young influencers they described in the video. What this guy does is truly unique and his words in this words are the truth. Take note, especially if you’re a final year student. Go network your ass off. Video by Tone on the flipside.

Maestro released a teaser for this short film a couple months back if ya’ll remember. He’s been working with Team Need For Speed to document their journey for speed and drifting and likening to the unique process of film making. It’s fascinating to watch how crazy drift drivers are, mad men. You will be surprised by some of the similarities told by Levi. Maestro jumps in the passenger seat of Mad Mike Whiddett and Matt Powers. They kill it softly with speed and as always video on the flipside.

Been wondering where Levi Maestro has been for the past month or so? Well he came back this week with the final 2 episodes of this season’s Maestro Knows. The first features Tyrone Davis, I have no clue who this guy is or what he does. It’s a flashback episode back to NYE of 2010. The season finale features the dopest chick in the NY’s scene, Va$htie Kola. I’ve featured her on the site before, check out the episode after the cut. She talks about her new collaboration sneaker with the Air Jordan family, first female ever to do so.

After an extra-long hiatus, Levi delivers to us a brand new episode of his online show ‘Maestro Knows’ and it features legendary Hip-hop producer 9th Wonder. The last episode he was featured in, he talked about teaching Hip Hop classes at Duke and now months later, we get to see what a lesson in Hip Hop looks like. It’s amazing to see how far the genre has come. Watch the full episode after the cut.
