What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. DefamNation Clothing
Oh yes! We got our fifth "What's in The Based Update's Mailbox?" feature! Who dosen't like getting mail, especially when its clothing? Today we got a legit ass package from DefamNation Clothing! Continue below to see what we got and our review!
In the recent release they dropped the Fall/Holiday gear, which they dubbed The Affiliated Collection they used the words, "Embarking alone on a journey to search for something greater. To find closure and to achieve colossal…" That is the uniqueness that attracted me to this line over the last year, with that I got the opportunity to get a hold of them and we put this together! Shout out to Gisel and Bryant!
Packaging:First off, the shipping was priority mail! That is a huge plus because nobody wants to wait for gear to come in! Second, all of the items in the package were all individually wrapped in poly bags! As you can see solid, secure, and quick.
Design: Their designs are excellent. They are crisp and they have that head turning trying to figure out what is going on feel. What I mean by that is... with STEALTH MADE across your chest, or the POLO logo remade as DOLO with a headless man holding a skull in his arm, people will want to know what it means and where they can buy it at.
Quality: DefamNation Clothing is premium quality clothing. All the materials are well fitting as well. Whatever your size, it will fit you correctly. One thing I liked in particular was the crew-neck, the sleeves were not too baggy and the bottom was tighter for a real fit! Some crews are just too baggy, but not these! Another cool part of this line is the branding on the sleeves for extra appeal.
Whats left: My favorite part of all of this are the extra goodies that come along with the gear. In this case we have stickers, a hand towel, pins, coupons, and a lighter... yes a lighter! Not only can you get a discount on you're next purchase, but you can deck out your gear with pins and add stickers to whatever! Defam also adds a branded lighter to this as well, so now you can be lighting up in style too!
Is it Approved?: All the way! DefamNation Clothing has got our thumbs up! As you can see this is a really unique line, make sure get some gear right now!
All of this gear and a lot more are available on their website. Their newest Holiday line did just release not too long ago so you can definitely keep warm in new gear for this time of the season in style!

Amerikas Addiction Interview
Based in Milwaukee, WI, Amerikas Addiction is a two-member group made up of vocalist/emotionalist, Ebonix, and sound/ambiance producer, J The Truth. Amerikas Addiction operates under Black House Productions and draws influces from the hiphop, alternative, punk, reggae, dance, and techno music cultures. The group began as the notorious, “Black House Gang,” which earned them nominations for, “Best Rap/Hi pHop Act,” in 2007 and 2010 by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry. As a solo artist, Ebonix was featured in VIBE Magazine as best Wisconsin rapper for the magazine’s publication of “51 Best Myspace Rappers.”
Tell us about yourself. What’s your name? Where are you from?
J-THE TRUTH - My name is just a combination of my first name Joshua and the fact that I am a Truth seeker. Meaning that I have to know all alternatives and sides to a story, i accept nothing at face value. I need the truth, no matter how painful it may be to know. I am from Milwaukee, though sometimes I feel like a space cadet in the world.
ADDICTION AKA EBONIX - Ebonix was giving as a nick name in high school when I used to rap for people i bent words and used alot of slang lol.
Addiction is because I'm an addictive person, people just get hooked one me, they become intrigued with me as a person therefore addiction lol.
How did you get your start in the music industry? Who or what inspired you?
J-THE TRUTH - I got my start with my brother Tim aka Heru (R.I.P) and his best friend Lee aka Babaloa. They called themselves the Alkhemysts. I was always a beating on the pots and pans and playing records type of kids, but once I got old enough to read The Source and about musicians/record labels, it was over. I became totally immersed in music culture. I have an appreciation for all artists and all careers/functions in it.
ADDICTION - Just recording you know and promoting hard on myspace, I always loved to write and act and express myself artistically no matter if it was drawing or painting or dancing, the older i got the more my vocabulary expanded and i began to write poems to express myself and then all of a sudden i got into writing songs when i was introduced to "J The Truth" my producer at the age of 16 by my dad.
What upcoming projects are you working on?
J-THE TRUTH - Our upcoming video for "Blame It On the Drugs". We plan on it being epic and ground breaking and shocking. We want to the world to see it…and be either addicted or completely pissed off!
ADDICTION - "Black Magick" 12-31-11 one of our biggest projects and most important in my eyes lol. More addicts are listening this time around!
Since the start of your music career what is, in your opinion, the best track you have ever made?
J-THE TRUTH - Addiction or Ebonix would disagree… but I love the track "College Girl" Its a raw, uncut party song. Maybe its because I truly don't party unless we are on stage or are throwing a party that I truly throw all my thoughts to the side. It is during this song that I lose control and let the other side take over my body. The song itself is not deep in a sense, but it speaks upon our primal instincts as men and what we sometimes think when being with a woman…judge me lol. Do What You Desire...
ADDICTION - Best track would have to be a song called "Sandman" Off the Blame it on the Drugs ep avaliable at itunes and our official website www.amerikasaddiction.com and all the other fine digital retails online. That songs is about how i have bad dreams that are constantly keeping me awake but sleep at the same time lol Its tricky because i have this sleeping disorder that haunts me "Sleep Paralysis" It sucks so that song is the anthem for people who have sleeping disorders lol
If you could choose one artist to collaborate with on a track who would it be? Why?
J-THE TRUTH - For me, it would be to have met an artist like Jimi Hendrix when he was around. He was beyond creative and innovative. He inspired generations of musicians. His style of playing the guitar, his way of singing and song writing and his fashion, actually his whole style is inspiring. I would have loved to collaborate on a track with him and just be privileged to have been in the same room.
ADDICTION - Tech N9ne.. He is just beyond creative and always ahead of the curve, not only as a rapper just as an artist period. He is my idol and I've met him before but I've never got a chance to tell him, didnt wanna seem like a dick riding fan. I'd rather meet him on an artist to artist basis.
This site’s purpose is living and representing the Based lifestyle. What does the word "based" mean to you?
J-THE TRUTH - It is the same is ours - "Do What You Desire…" - Doing what you want to do in life. Hopefully what you desire to do is positive, because in its sense, it is a double edged sword or a feather…what you choose to do with it, is in your soul/heart. We choose positivity. Based is about doing what you desire and expressing yourself creatively whether in music, fashion, life and how you touch others that you meet. If the whole world were based, it would be a much more beautiful world.
ADDICTION - Based To me is similar to our motto which is "Do what you desire.. Basically doing what you love and spreading love ignoring the negative and evils in the world. So yeah thats what based means to me.
Who are your favorite artists right now? Who’s playing through your speakers?
J-THE TRUTH - Tech N9ne, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, LEP Bogus Boys, The Weeknd, 2-Pac, Kanye West and Sade.
ADDICTION - Tech n9ne, Cudi, Wiz Khalifa, Prince, Ozzy Osbourne, Soulja Boy and Lady Gaga.
What’s something that people might not know about you?
J-THE TRUTH - That I really enjoy to read. Magazines, books on esoteric subjects, books on visionaries, leaders, inspirational books. Yeah, I like to listen and read Tony Robbins lol.
ADDICTION - Im obsessed with Lady Gaga
What’s some advice you can give to upcoming/aspiring artists that you have learned so far that may come in handy to someone else?
J-THE TRUTH - Do What You Desire…and all will work out. Dare to be different as well. Pay it forward and don't look for handouts.
ADDICTION - Stay true to yourself and find your own lane. develop a grass roots fan base so you can be a dictator and not a dick taker and labels will approach you.

Fuggin' Friday #10
Here is the tenth Fuggin' Friday feature. Enjoy! If you don't know what a Fuggin' Friday post is, check out all the info here.
Hall of Fame 2011 Holiday “Upside Downs” Collection
With the pending 2011-2012 NBA season teetering on destruction, many of us are looking for other sources of basketball exposure just to keep us from going completely cold turkey. Some have turned to video games and others college basketball, but what is still very much alive is the apparel industry. Many are still wearing their favorite team or player logo, which in a way showcases their support during the looming legal battle. Today, Mitchell & Ness, in conjunction with retail boutique Hall of Fame, announced the release of delivery 1 of 2 for their Holiday 2011 seasonal collection, consisting of five retro-styled fitteds. Sporting an upside-down logo from the ’90s, the above caps, representing the Heat, Hornets, Spurs, Lakers and Mavericks, will retail this Friday, the 25th, at Hall of Fame’s flagship store in Los Angeles.

Nike Zoom KD IV “Nerf” Further Look
Many of our readers can remember a time counting down, 3, 2, 1, then heaving up a prayer hook shot from the top bunk with a foam, fist size basketball at a door mounted cardboard hoop. With that said, when we featured the KD IV Nerf edition last month we can bet many readers felt a heavy bit of nostalgia for the kicks. Today we offer a more detailed look at one of the more hyped releases of the “lets not talk about it” 2011-2012 NBA season, featuring a one-of-a-kind packaging housing a Nerf basketball, hoop and sneaker set. Unfortunately little information accompanied the pack, but be on the lookout, as rumor has it you can expect this release to hit select retailers in limited numbers sometime before Christmas.

Hope you enjoyed the tenth post for the Fuggin' Friday feature. Tune in next week for another Fuggin' Friday weekly post!
