Miguel - Sure Thing

Slakah the Beatchild ::: B-Boy Beef (Official Video)

Lil Wayne likes Teddy Bears :0)

Rapper Lil’ Wayne’s schedule been on a tear since his 8-month stint in jail, especially during New Year’s Eve when his made appearances with Drake on BET’s 106 & Park New Year’s Eve Party in New York City, only to surfaced in Chicago for a concert. But what made most people do a double-take was his outfit on stage as the countdown started – the EVA Leather Varsity Jacket from Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) and a pair of adidas Originals by Originals Jeremy Scott – JS Teddy Bears.

Drake and Maxwell kick it @ a Knicks Game

There was plenty of star power in the Garden when the Miami Heat visited the New York Knicks on Friday night, including Drake, Fabolous, DJ Clue, Spike Lee, Birdman, DJ Khaled, Craig Robinson, Maxwell, Tracy Morgan, and more. Drake, a close friend of LeBron James’ had a court side seat next to R&B singer, Maxwell, and Joshua “Hip Hop” Kyambo from his management team, Hip Hop Since 1978. The Young Money/Cash Money rapper who made a huge splash this past year was seen wearing a smooth leather jacket, khaki pants, and a pair of the recently re-released visvim FBT Classic shoes. Take a look at what some of the other celebrities were wearing at the game including Fabolous and Spike Lee.

Check out LRG's Spring 2011 Collection!

LRG is taking an ambitious approach to the new year, with a 10-part series of releases planned from the 12-year old clothing company. For delivery one, the brand left it’s California base and traveled North to the beautiful San Juan Islands off the Washington coast, to shoot photo and video lookbooks for the collection. The collection is one of the more mature we’ve seen from LRG, including cardigans and refined flannels, jeans and pants with a grown up cut, and several accessory pieces in canvas and leather. The collection is well suited to the island hopping in the Pacific Northwest that the accompanying video shoot shows. LRG did a great job stepping outside of their typical style a bit for this collection, and the video shoot is very well done too – a nice look at a beautifully rugged part of the country that is often overlooked. Check out the collection and the video after the jump. The Spring Collection delivery one is available from LRG stockists now.
