I was actually reading some article a few weeks ago about this possible collaboration. I personally think it is pretty stupid, but surprisingly enough these two companies decided to go forth on the collab even with my expressed disinterest.* Read more about this collaboration bellow.

The Hundreds teamed up with the DeLorean Motor Company to pay homage the iconic DMC-12. “Each T-shirt is a different take on DeLorean and DMC-12 from a The Hundreds perspective, mirroring various Southern California car culture tees, while still maintaining an appealing design for our customer and DMC enthusiast alike. The New Era baseball cap is also a salute to DMC’s aesthetic. The 3 Adam Bomb emblems are indicative of the 3 letters on the car’s grill, and the undervisor pattern is derived from the DMC-12’s familiar back taillights.” A DMC-12 will be on display outside The Hundreds’ LA store this Thursday, and at the SF location this Friday and Saturday. The gear drops this Thursday at both locations.
Have a look at the full The Hundreds x DeLorean Motor Company collection bellow.
Supra Skytop II Black Friday Edition | 413 Exclusive
Supra just released a special Black Friday exclusive colorway of the sneaker at their Factory413 shop over the weekend. The sneaker comes in a metallic gold/black colorway and is limited to 413 individually numbered pairs. It sorta looks like they used leftover material from the black/gold color ways they recently did with various styles.
There is a constant debate going on in my head on whether I should solely post "new school hip-hop" on this site. That is the general direction this site was founded on but should I still sprinkle in the "hits" from the rest of the older hip-hop scene? I'm not sure, but this one gets the pass since Lil Wayne is featured in it and he is the most relevant rapper in the game for the last few years. What do you think?
Chip Tha Ripper feat. Curren$y & Big Sean - Fat Raps
Here is a brand new track from Chip Tha Ripper's upcoming mixtape, The Cleveland Show, which will be released December 1st. Oh yeah, Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids produced it and it sounds like it... which is a good thing!

It seems as if the whole industry has been in one large turkey comatose the past few days. While the industry is trying to get the tryptophan out of their system, 'Those Guys' have been hard at work on their next album. They just sent me over a rough, unfinished cut of "Rocker Roller," in which the finished version will be featured on their currently untitled upcoming mixtape. Oh yeah, they made this beat themselves... GET IT!
I love caps with artwork on the underside of the brim, you know I stay flipping that brim up!
Mishka recently worked with Japanese brand Phenomenon on a wool New Era Cap. The cap comes in black wool, features the signature Mishka 'evil eye' graphic on the front in the form of a patch and also has both brand logo embroidered on the back in tonal black. The cap is now available from Re.Ark.

Lupe Fiasco - Enemy Of The State: A Love Story (Mixtape)
This mixtape was originally put out in one MP3 because Lupe wanted it "cassette style." Lupe's camp eventually released it in separate MP3 form after I guess there was some internet backlash. With this mixtape Lupe takes us through the usual beats used to spit over on mixtapes but i gotta give him props on the Radiohead track. That is why Lupe is one of the unique characters in the game and subsequently dope. If you are a Lupe fan than this is obviously a must download, if you are not that much of a fan than I advise you download this anyway. Word is Lupe will be putting out another mixtape entitled Friend Of The People on Christmas, so stay on the lookout for that.
Track list and download link bellow.
01 Intro 02 The National Anthem (Radiohead) 03 All The Way Turnt Up (Travis Porter) 04 Fireman (Lil Wayne) 05 L.A.S.E.R.S. Manifesto Interlude 06 Angels (Remix) (Dirty Money) 07 So Ghetto (Jay-Z) 08 Say Something (Timbaland) 09 Thank You (Jay-Z) 10 The One (Slaughterhouse) 11 Popular Demand (Clipse) 12 HP Skit
UNRELATED UPDATE: I removed the "Wiz Khalifa Show Recap" from the site. Similar to the actual situation, the post and subsequently the comment section got way to out of hand. I don't want any of that negative energy around this blog. Myself and his management have resolved this situation very courteously. It's over... go eat a turkey.

My boy Adam from The Leaders Group just sent this video over of TMG.com favorite; ADaD... check it out.
"ADaD is just racking them up. The Chicago emcee was named to URB's 25 Now, had an interesting Taco lunch and is currently working on a full length album with L.A.'s Exile. ADaD made a trip out to the Sunshine state early last month to start the project, and he took the RH cam with him (shouts to Adam Leaders). Hit the jump to see ADaD's trip to L.A. in its fully glory in a piece we call "ADaD Invades L.A.", with guest appearances from Exile, and our good friends in U-N-I as well."
The Hundreds drop a limited capsule based on their mascot Adam’s rival Badam. “Who’s Badam? If our buddy Adam is a relatively easy-going, nice, happy incendiary device, Badam resides all the way at the opposite end of the spectrum. Badam always looks like he’s seen better days, thanks to his bloodshot eyes and his sour expression.” The Badam tee and Badam New Era fitted hat will be available this Friday at the THLA and THSF stores.
More looks at the Badam items from The Hundreds bellow.
"I'm finnin' to house every single mode and arena I can get into," Fiasco promised. "If y'all had somewhere where it's live performances, I'm finnin to have the best live performances. If it's mixtapes, I'm finnin' to have the best mixtapes. If it's albums again, it's gonna be the best verse. If it's the best dressed, I'm going hard as well."
Lupe said the yet-untitled mixtape will be him going in over other MCs' beats. "I got four days to figure it out," he said about the title. "I've been dabbling with some names. I don't know yet."
Concerning the production, Lupe said he's not going to let any original production go.
"Why waste it?" he said. "I still got my plan. I'm not finnin' to diverge off my plan and my career and how I wanna roll my music out."

When the New Boyz — two teenagers who had been playing high school auditoriums — released “You’re a Jerk,” the song raced up the Billboard ladder, sold 750,000 copies on iTunes and another 400,000 ring tones, provided the duo with a base for a national tour and, of course, gave rise to untold copycats.
“Jerking started off in L.A. as just a little inner-city dance,” said one of the New Boyz, Earl Benjamin, 18, known as Ben J. “We used to search for it on YouTube and we noticed it had potential to be bigger than it was. It was like when you first saw break dancing: it has so many different parts, and when you get the dance down pat, you wanted to do it all the time. It reminded you of how fun hip-hop used to be.”

Can anyone follow what the hell is going on in this video, because I sure as hell cant. Isn't wearing your own shirt kinda corny though... seems like these guys whole wardrobe is made up of their own merch.
The much anticipated Supra Skytop II has been officially released today and I gotta say upon closer inspection they are not as dope as previously thought. They deffinitally went with a more fashionable chique look. They are limited to only 600 pairs worldwide... I guess that goes along with the chique look they are going for. What do you think?
You head it here first; "Bland Is The New Bright." The Auto Force 180 is a simplified version of the classic Air Force 180. The most to the point release thus far; all black. You can get these from Proper and other all other Nike retailers.
Here's a track that didn't make the cut for Attention: Deficit. It's produced by 9th Wonder and he said there's two more where this came from, so be on the lookout for those.
