Shoes are where the heart is....

Seeing shoes from back in the day for me is like smelling a scent that takes you back to a special place...(i.e smelling your girls perfume when she's nowhere in sight or going to moms house & she's throwin down makin that bombass meal she used to make for you when you lived @ home)

Anyway, these joints right here remind me of strolling down The Alley at Crossroads in 97', all of the homies had these in various colorways... 


S/O out to the XRoads fam... Much Love Always!

El Lay Journey...

So I've been on my daily journey and haven't posted in awhile, but I would like to show you my heart & mind have been in the right place....


Always Much Love...

Cherish Each Other.....

I feel that as a global society we have been surrounded by chaos for what seems like forever; war, rioting, bombings all which result in senseless killings. It seems as if all parties involved have something to say- but those they want to listen aren't. I think a lot of times we fail to acknowledge the overall mood(vibe) of society. It's no secret people as a whole are stressed out, and truthfully they have every right to be. Too many parents burying their children, homeless families, famine, the list goes on & on. I hold all of this dear to my heart, it is my belief that if we come together through love and positive unity we can make our time here more pleasant. Embrace all of those around you and encourage your loved ones to do the same. The anger is senseless and it's flat out tiring- to love is to cherish, cherish every moment in a positive light. 


I wanted to include some inspiring words sung by the beautiful Marvin Gaye: "What's Going On..."


Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby           


Peace & Love Banksy style....
 Much Love

Intrigue that surrounds The Weeknd....

With the amount of talent one must exceed & the rigorous regimen it takes to develop a die hard fan base, it seems like a pretty discouraging battle for a musician to get their work to be heard & LOVED by your city, let alone the masses. The Weeknd seems to have mastered all of which that entails. The Weeknd, a Canadian R&B artist and his crew XO run the streets of Toronto with constant mystery surrounding them- doting camouflage on the regular- subtly letting everyone know they are an army of their own... The intrigue that surrounds them is superhero-esque most definitely...


Releasing all of his music independently, no support from a major label, The Weeknd & XO as a whole seemed to roll through the city with that drive- the drive to be the BEST record deal or not. It has become abundantly clear the music they make is mind blowing, mixing slow R&B ballads over slight Dubstep tempos. The vibe is unlike anything I've ever felt from an album. 


Although their album was released over a month ago, I HAVE to share this classic with you guys. I hope you enjoy!!
