Wiz Khalifa x Curren$y

Higher Learning

Arnold Yun and the Students of Hip-Hop organization here @ VCU put on a phenomenal show last weekend headlined by Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y. Richmond's own Millz, Nickleus F and my boys from Earthtone threw it down as opening acts. This past week I did a Wiz Khalifa x Curren$y painting so I could get some pictures with them and a couple of autographs... Some pics below...

The XX

The only reason why I know about this band is because I clicked on their album artwork. Little did I know I was going to fall in-love with their debut album 'XX'. The XX is a band formed of 3 20 year-olds from South London, England.

They have a fantastic R&B style with an Indie Rock sound and to me they are the new-aged Everything But The Girl... Check them out, you will not be disappointed....

One of my favorite albums from 2009...

Clipse x KAWS x Complex

The greatest rap duo ever... okay, okay, well at least my favorite, cool?Pusha T & Malice, better known as the Clipse, are featured on the cover of next months Complex Magazine, set to hit stands October 6th. The reason this issue is so DOPE is because KAWS (OriginalFake) is in control of the cover art... again! Last September he created fantastic artwork for the cover, which featured N.E.R.D. The cover you see above is a collector's edition 1 of 3 covers, exciting. The KAWS x Clipse collaboration doesn't stop there, he is also taking care of all the artwork for their upcoming album, 'Til The Casket Drops.

November 9th is the set release date for the duo's highly anticipated "third-time's-a-charm" album. The album seems incredibly promising so far thanks to the singles 'Kinda Like A Big Deal (f. KanYe West)', 'I'm Good (f. Pharrell)' and 'Eyes On Me (f. Keri Hilson)'. I know the Clipse will deliver, they never disappoint. If you want to see more check out Complex.com!

A Star Is Born...

What more can I say about this guy? Mr. Corey Smith might be the most talented individual I personally know. I have known him for about 3 years now, and luckily have built a fantastic friendship with him. Corey has been working on his upcoming solo project over the past few months. The project is a Mixtape featuring his own tracks along with a few guests along the way (Shouts to the Earthtone Crew & Score 1). I am ecstatic about this project, and thankfully I get to help out with it! I have been blessed with the opportunity to create some fantastic artwork for the cover. Keep a look out for this entire project, it's going to be exceptionally DOPE!!

If you haven't seen or heard Corey, get on it. Be sure to check his blog (link posted below), first and foremost. Also, check out his YouTube videos with another extraordinarily talented friend of mine Brad Doggett and the rest of the ETC. I wish this man the best of luck and much love.
