Black Scale: Black Box Project


Shrouded in mystery, Black Scale’s “Black Box Project” teaser video seems to play on the voyeuristic nature that is inside all of us. While the teaser does little to place some clarity to the campaign, it does create a sense of intrigue as to what’s to come next. Further research reveals a promotion from Black Scale that is all about rewarding their valued consumers, whereas the “black boxes” will actually be a giveaway ranging from $50-500 USD worth of material. Stay tuned for more details.

Behind the Lens with Jason Goldwatch


The landscape of the music game has taken on a new breed of creatives over the years – musicians, producers, video directors. You listen to your go-to artists of choice and realize the sounds have taken a route somewhat off course from its respective music styles, yet approaches a hybrid crossroad of sounds that inspire from different musical genres and elements beyond the musical world. This is the new generation of ideas and visions, when artists take on no formality or predetermined labels – it’s nonconforming and quintessential of the saying “thinking outside the box.” This is this “new school” of director Jason Goldwatch as he gives us some background on some of his latest works.

Throwback Thursday #9

Throwback Thursday #9
We got another weekly throwback video. This video "The Statement" by Wiz Khalifa came out about a year ago along with his mixtape Kush & OJ.


As stated on Datpiff: On April 14, Wiz Khalifa took over the Internet. Unfamiliar Twitter users scratched their noggins upon seeing the seemingly esoteric phrase "Kush & OJ" listed in their trending topic sidebar. Even Google fell victim to the Pittsburgh rapper's rabid demand—all for a mixtape. The project was more than unwarranted hype, though. Dipping into unconventional wells of inspiration, the Taylor gang leader swiped Demi Lovato's "Our Time Is Here" from Disney's Camp Rock soundtrack for the psychedelic anthem "We're Done"; elsewhere Frou Frou’s “Let Go” is, uh, lifted, for "In The Cut." He flexes his vocals here and there ("Up") and even tries his hand at reggae ("Still Blazin"). Can we get much higher?

Investigating Swag Syndrome

Investigating Swag Syndrome

I am not sure if you have seen this video or not, but it's hilarious. Its about Swag Syndrome; I am sure you have seen all the symptoms mentioned in this video as well on some level or another. Also, in the video they claim they do not know where the 'cookin' dance came from, the answer as we knew is Lil B.

Bruno Mars New Video "It Will Rain"

Bruno Mars New Video "It Will Rain"

Check out Bruno Mars new video "It Will Rain" which will be featured in the new Twilight movie coming out next week. This song has been one of my favorites since I first heard it. Bruno Mars is not the original writer nor is it originally his song, but the way he did it was better than the first in my opinion! This is available on iTunes so get it if you don't have it! Enjoy!

Drake's "Take Care" Album

I am sure as most of you know this album was leaked before it actually dropped like it seems every album does. If you didn't get your hand on it you need to!


After listening to the entire album, it definitely is some real good work from Drake. Everything that he represents is on this album is what he is as an artist so its a real good blend. I have heard people talking about how this album isn't good and I don't see what they are talking about.

Toykio x Nike Sportswear Destroyer Jacket


One of the most coveted outerwear pieces over the past couple of years has been Nike’s Destroyer Jacket. Many influential individuals have had the privilege of NSW providing them with their own, unique rendition, but here we highlight the Toykio Destroyer, which will be awarded to a select number of friends and personal heroes of the toy/creative collective. However, on November 15, blank versions of the jacket will be available in differing styles and colors, via numerous stores throughout Germany and Austria including HHV, N/GH, asphaltgold, theflashgib, cream (by coarse) and STIL-LADEN.
