ESSO - "NEW YORK, NEW YORK"

I think I'm a few days late with this but fu*k it, better later than never! Esso gets it in over this NY anthem. Now, unlike a true NY native, I'm off to bed. Another long day of mindless work ahead of me. See you in the PM.

Even though I think this sh*t is mad cool, I can't help but wonder....this guy needs a girlfriend. I mean seriously, who has THAT much time to master this stuff? See for yourself...

Talk about a feel good summer time track. "Don’t Mention It" coming soon!

FABOLOUS - "I'M RAW" (VIDEO)

You know what, Fabolous is that dude! I swear, every track I hear from this dude is hot. Here's the latest visuals for the track "I'm Raw" off his "There Is No Competition 2: The Funeral Service" mixtape. Watch the vid, you know whats up.

I Ain't Whats Poppin' Bit*h/ I'm Whats Popular

Im leaving it off here tonight folks. I have another long work day ahead of me and I need to get some sleep. (**DISCLAIMER** If you have an amazing idea but are still a little unsure about it, just give it a chance and see how the public reacts. You might have a winner on your hands and become so filthy stinking rich that you never have to complain about the "work" sh*t I complain about. **END DISCLAIMER**) Chucky gets sucker punched, drops out the game and comes back better than ever. Kudos.

If you're anything like me and you surf the web while you're at work (shhh, I'm really not supposed to be doing that sh*t) you've probably seen this track posted on a trillion other blog sites. If I were a good Samaritan I would point you to those other sites to download this joint, but being a good Samaritan isn't what keeps me in business ya dig. That's why I'm posting the track myself. Plus this track is really REALLY good! B.o.B. always continues to impress me. Thank you B.o.B. His album The Adventures of Bobby Ray hits stores April 27th.

Yo, these frames are whats up! My eyeballs are a little faulty so I wear glasses by prescription. For $189 (that's 17,850 yen) I might have to jump on these. Yes they are limited and availability for the frames goes live on 4/10/2010. BTW, if the posts seem to be coming in a little slower than usual that's because they are. haha. Ive been putting in over 10hrs/ day at work and the sh*t is killing me. Don't worry, it wont be for long and until then I still plan to keep you in the loop on that new 'ish. Word to your mother.

Following up on the recent glow-in-the-dark series, RSVP Gallery and AMBUSH bring you the black on black "POW!" chain and pendant. Sh*t is limited boys and girls and this piece will complete your swag when your going for that "all black everything" look. Available now via the RSVP Gallery online store.

(Spotted @ Hypebeast)

Here's a sneak peek at the design for the upcoming album from 1/4 of the Gym Class Heroes. "Lazarus" drops June 8th. Props to Meka.

How about this for the first post of the day! This joint is crazy! I'm a new to the dude Miguel but if he keeps coming with tracks like this, with or without a feature, I see big things in his future! Doesn't hurt that J. Cole lays 2 hot ass verses on the track and, thanks to Salaam Remi, the beat is off the hook. An all around a great song.

It's late as fu*k, so what better way to end the night with some Trigga over a Drake track I've never heard before (I'm being facetious boys and girls). This is the last "Over" remix I'm going to post unless Eminem does his own version of the track! Trey is my dude and his remakes usually turn out better than the original. I think I hear a Marc Mix coming soon! Stay tuned.

Update: Tagless version added.

Update 2: Added the Drake x Trey Songz "Over" Marc Mix. Yuuup!

BEEDIE - "EVERYDAY" (VIDEO)

Here is a brand new video from Beedie off the new mixtape "Sleeping In", produced by KidEight and directed by Rex Arrow Films.

After a day of sitting at a baby shower for 4 hrs a dose of some good hip hop feels good. If you haven't downloaded Beedie's "Sleeping In" mixtape, do yourself a favor and check it out now!

I would soooo rather be in NY today. No, not because my wife is forcing me to go to a baby shower with her (I mean, that's one reason) but because the new Nike x Futura x New York Yankees Air Force 1 pack dropped today, 4/3/2010, at 21 Mercer. The pack features the an Air Force 1 Low Premium, Air Force 1 High Premium LE and Air Force 1 HI Supreme. The kicks were designed by Futura and feature the New York Yankees color scheme and other Baseball details. 21 Mercer is located in SoHo NY between Grand and Howard.

Phresy takes a stab at the "Over Done" remake of the Drake single. I like Phresy so he gets a pass for this remix. Check it out.

If "art" is my middle name, than that sh*t is surely Mykola Dosenko's first! You know we only feature the best of the best here on SUPERXOFFICIAL...right? Well this interview is featuring nothing less than the best! Myk Dawg is slaying the design game right now. From Mick Boogie to Kayne West, my dude is doing the damn thing! We recently had the pleasure to sit down with Myk Dawg and talk everything from Design to Beyonce. Please by my guest to partake in the goodness and grab a notepad kiddies, you might learn something:

SUPERXOFFICIAL: First and foremost, I want to extend a big thanks for setting aside the time to chat with ya boy.

Myk Dawg: No problem sir!

SUPERXOFFICIAL: Ok, I’m a huge fan of art and design, and for those that have seen your work I’m sure are a fan of yours like I am. Describe the feeling and moment when you first sat down in front of a computer and realized you wanted to make this your profession.

Myk Dawg: Well...I know for sure Kanye's “College Dropout” inspired me to try this career path in 2005. I first sat down in front of a computer way earlier, in 1993 or so, and I’ve messed around with Photoshop since 1999.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: Your designs are extremely original and it’s obvious you don’t follow “trends” or do what’s “hot.” Tell me a little about who/ what inspires you and your design style.

Myk Dawg: As a matter of fact I do follow what's “hot.” Haha. I just observe the latest, and pick out the stuff that I truly like. I just try to keep the inspiration less obvious and combine stuff in a way not likely to be used by the competition. Plus I keep my inspiration outside of what I do. I'm not very likely to get inspired by a music video or an illustration. But I get LOTS of inspirations out of sneakers, cartoons, music, industrial design, packaging, etc.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: Your work has been featured by some pretty big names, i.e. Mick Boogie, DJ Shadow and your visual version of Kanye’s “Robocop”, just to name a few. How does it feel to have these major artists under your belt and are there any plans on working with other big named talent in the future?

Myk Dawg: It feels pretty dope for sure! I think it's important to keep a perspective or it's easy to get big-headed. The best way to do that is compare yourself to other professionals and realize how much more work needs to be done. As for the future, I can't say I have feasible plans to work with any big name artists but of course I'd love to work with A LOT of them. The list is way too long! haha

SUPERXOFFICIAL: If there was one design project you could remix, like a producer remixes an original track, what would that project be?

Myk Dawg: I'd like to remix some classic Air Jordan commercials. That'd be interesting.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: With a lot of attention focusing on “mainstream” artists/ designers like Kaws and Takashi Murakami, where do you feel that leaves room for up and coming designers like yourself?

Myk Dawg: I feel that there's a lot of room for up and coming designers these days. It's easy to carve out a niche for yourself and promoting yourself has never been this easy.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: What are your overall thoughts on the art/ design world?

Myk Dawg: It's very crowded and more diverse than ever. More competitive than a Sampras-Agassi match point! Definitely fun, every day.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: You have become very successful in such a short period of time. Describe your come up until now. What was the process and experience like becoming who you are recognized as today from first starting out as a designer?

Myk Dawg: I definitely wouldn't call myself “successful”. My name is only starting to circulate around the internet, and I hardly make any profit at all. haha Therefore I can't give out much advice as an “established artist”. All I can say is have patience and only do projects you believe in. That will be crucial in the long run.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: What’s the best advice you can give to emerging designers and aspiring artists looking to follow in similar footsteps as yourself?

Myk Dawg: Practice daily, kids. That's the only thing that might give you an edge
over the competition.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: What are some upcoming projects you have in the works?

Myk Dawg: Lots of stuff (some music videos coming up), but most importantly, launching my new brand Fartookind! (www.fartookind.com). It's going to be badass!
(Prior to releasing this interview Myk Dawg also was working on the design for the new Mick Boogie “The Changemakers” mixtape)

SUPERXOFFICIAL: OK, with the serious Q&A out of the way, its time to have some fun! If Myk Dawg somehow didn’t pursue design, what would he be doing?

Myk Dawg: I don't have an answer for this and hopefully won't find it out anytime soon. Haha!

SUPERXOFFICIAL: You wake up tomorrow and get a phone call to work on the project of your dreams. What would it be and why?

Myk Dawg: Working with Nike! I'd poop my pants for sure.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: Beyonce or Rihanna?

Myk Dawg: Wow. This is a tough one! Well... Beyonce is probably more talented musically... But when I was single I used to daydream about Rihanna way more, haha.

SUPERXOFFICIAL: You’ve been hired to create your own reality TV series. What would be the concept and title of the show?

Myk Dawg: Snow Joke™: A polar bear living in a Manhattan studio apartment tries to fit in with the harsh surroundings and fast-paced lifestyle of this "dog-eat-dog" city!

SUPERXOFFICIAL: Aight Myk, it was a pleasure talking to you. Any last words?

Myk Dawg: I'd like everybody who reads this to kick some asses and take some names!

And there you have it boys and girls! From music to design we feature the best of the best. Keep Myk on your radar and remember where you heard of him first!!

Washington D.C.'s DURKL introduces first piece of the Capital Collection series.

The Capital Collection is a series of collaborations between DURKL and brands from other capital cities around the globe. The collection seeks to incorporate the individuality of each city while staying true to the street culture we all love. Joining forces with London's Second Son, together they produced the Capital Collection sherlock cap; a 5-panel hunting cap featuring traditional tan houndstooth fabric and interior diamond quilting. Designed in London and produced in America, the package comes complete with a traditional English tobacco pipe. The limited edition Sherlock package is available Friday 4/2/2010 on durkl.com and second-son.com.

When you cant find your keys or where you left the remote, grab your pipes and this cap to solve the mystery. A little dramatic? Yeah whateva. haha. Im digging the color scheme of this cap. Could have done without the Elmer Fudd ear flaps but the cap is still a win.

THE KICKDRUMS - "OUT TO GET ME" (VIDEO)

The Kickdrums plan to announce their new album Meet Your Ghost and lead 7″ single "Animal" in the up-coming weeks. Also, make sure to check out their website www.TheKickdrums.com to download their Coachella mixtape series where the duo present a mix of music from bands that will be performing at each respective day of the festival.

Lets start this early Friday morning off with some new Kickdrums. Its a 3 day weekend everyone, so get ready for a laundry list of new sh*t coming your way!! C'mon, you know how I do.

NICKI MINAJ FEAT. SEAN GARRET - "MASSIVE ATTACK" (VIDEO)

Aight, so Nicki isn't the best female rapper to ever grace the mic but I'm feeling the beat on this track. Plus homegirl is hot as fu*k. Hey, cant blame a dude for noticing...

Something new from Wiz Khalifa. I assume this is off his upcoming "Kush x Orange Juice" mixtape. If not, who cares, the sh*t is pretty dope. I could do without the autotune but eehh, whateva!
