Wu_Tang_Clan_And_D-Block-Wu-Block-2012-TOXi


Here's an early promo of the Wu-Block album that has been floating around. The cover will probably change, and also the tracklisting. Word on the streets is that this is a rough version. Sheek Louch and Ghostface make up this pugnacious duo that seems to be the "new " odd couple. They have an upcoming show at Upstate Concert Hall in Clifton Park. Grab tix here. See for yourself how these two veterans make a most excellent combo. Man these fooos even bringin' Lil Cease out the woodwork.

Domo_Genesis_X_Alchemist-No_Idols-2012-UC




Domo Genesis and The ALC bring you this LP on the fly that features the other members of OFWGKTA, Action Bronson, and Prodigy to name a few. There was practically no promotion other than one song leak for this record. Alchemist stated on his twitter page the day before it was to drop, that this is the was it's suppose to be done. Industry giants cant leak what they dont have access to. I'll be the first to tell you I could give 2 shits about Odd Future, I think they are over hyped and undereducated in the hip hop game. I do love the Alchemist and the people he fucks with tho, Hence this post.

A message from Raz...

"BE EXCLUSIVE"

It began as a regular night in Upstate NY with a few good friends. After much stimulation of the mind the ideas started to flow. We went back and forth on ways to bring this exclusive culture we enjoyed so much to the common marketplace.

We initially started with a huge blown up picture of one of our exclusive nuggets on a Shurt. When it was worn around NYC it got so much attention and inquiry we had to develop this idea fully. After many more sessions of mind stimulation among friends and chronisseurs we came up with a way to brand our strains of exclusive marijuana on a t-shirt.

"Be Exclusive” started by only burning the finest on the planet. Bringing that culture into the fashion industry is where we stand now. This is a truly exclusive piece of clothing with a limited production of 420 and a custom number assigned to each Shurt. So support the cause, rep your culture and get your own exclusive Tree Shurt today.

Stay Up,
Tree Shurts

They recently released a limited edition MIRK Grind Tree Shurt with album presale purchase. Inquire via the site for those. They are superlimited and Mirk's album doesn't drop till Feb.
Check out previously released designs on Clone shirts as different colorways.
Originals are much different than the clones. They are less in price and of the same great quality as well. Check the tree hats as well which fit better than any other fitted. Shouts out to Grassroots, Raz, Mike B., the tree bunnys, and the rest of the heads I met down at the HQ.
I will be grabbing another fitted for sure.
They linked up with Method Man at the Wu Tang show and check out Mr. Meth setting off the tour with the Upstate Trees hat. I want to personally thank you Meth... for always taking good care of your fans and followers.

Frank_The_Butcher_and_DJ_7L-The_Essential_Dipset_Collection-2011-UC

The reign of the Harlem Diplomats is without a doubt one of the most influential periods in modern hip-hop. The movement that officially started with family features on Camron’s ‘S.D.E.’ album turned into one of New York City’s most powerful crews. Dipset created a sound that transcended the borders of east coast rap with a style that fueled urban culture for the better half of the 2000s. Killa Cam’s unapologetic uptown crew, Jim Jones, Freaky Zeeky and Juelz Santana, evolved to be leaders in their own rights commanding offshoot rap groups while still reppin’ the eagle and still screaming Harlem.

To celebrate the legacy of the Diplomats, we put together a comprehensive mix spanning years of bandana wearing and flag waving. While there is no possible way to include every significant offering of their vast catalogue, we believe we compiled some of Dipset’s best music in this 100+ minute homage.

Enjoy
