The World is Yours





When I was born I came out following my cousin, he was older had the girls and I thought he was the coolest dude ever to live. He used to Boss me around treat me bad,, make me cry, he was literally like my older brother. One day On the way to the beach we stopped at Popeyes Chicken right there on Lake across from the Thrift Store. It was around 12 in the afternoon and he was makin me mad and I finally got fed up and hit him in the nose and made his nose bleed. I felt so good lol, even tho he told me he was gonna beat me up like never before I had no fear I had the feeling of opposing the OPPOSITION. Ever since then I never ever followed the crowd or anyone for that matter. I learned to be a Leader after that. I used to want to be apart of the world, then I wanted to be controller of the world. Now I just want to change it. I dont know if it was listening to Nas Its your world, or Fashawns Hey Young World, or Commons Be or Its yours world, or Kanye West College Dropout or Graduation, or Jay-Z Blueprint 3,or J. Cole The Warm Up, or Lecrae Rebel Album. Maybe it was the people who forever teased me and called me weird or doubted me in anyway, maybe it was my Mom always telling me to prove people wrong, or my Dad not ever caring about my fight in life. Whenever I got this vision followed by a little ambition, and friends who are on the same page I am on, I have this Dream that is so farfetched I dont even know when God gave me this Idea but I know one day it will happen. Im trying to be apart of the 144,000 and still be great. If it never happens no one can say that I never tried, but I have so much faith I know one day it will come true. Through Christ all things are possible, and You can do anything you set your mind to. Go out and achive your dreams people.

Bouncing Cats Film Trailer

BOUNCING CATS film trailer from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.



“Bouncing Cats”, a film by Nabil Elderkin is an inspiring story of one man’s attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop with a focus on b-boy culture and breakdancing. Abraham “Abramz” Tekya’s Breakdance Project Uganda (B.P.U.) is a project that could empower, rehabilitate and heal the community by teaching youth about b-boy culture. The film features narration by Common and interviews with Mos Def, Will-I-Am, and K’Naan.


I love this video it shows what positives Hip-Hop brings to people, many people are quick to judge Hip-Hop like its a bad thing and we cant listen to it, this proves those opinions false. Chrisitian or Secular Hip-Hop always has a positive no matter what it is which is why I listen to it, perhaps my favorite genre of music.

Levi Maestro Speaks at Schools from Scott Regan on Vimeo.




Man I really want to speak at schools when I start being successful...thats actually one of my main things to accomplish is pushing these younger students to do more and create more in life I can not wait until I get the chance to do that. I like highschool and junior high students you reach them in that age.

Assembly Is Key

So I was riding in the car on my way to Target. I was thinking about what HollyValens is trying to do...and Ivee League and at The same time make my friend Esco a brand...and My two boys Josiah and Jairus...are just trying to stay on the grind. Then there is my HollyValens team members The Beat Boyz. We all have our own thing going on but at the same time we are all in alliance with each other...so I have come up with the idea of creating something that has everyone ina crew that we can all represent yet we are still our own brand. Something more Revolutionary and Epic. In due time you all will see a whole coporate brand emerge from this thought. But for now...League...Im outti.

Marrie to the M.O.B.









Married to the Mob, one of our most beloved, just released images of its summer 2010 collection, as modeled by adult movie star Faye Reagen (And by the way, am I the only one who thinks Faye looks more like Leah’s sister than Sweet Sixteen?? I mean, we’re talking doppleganger territory, people!) Love the top featured on this page, plus the trapeze tops and striped tank dress featured on the next page.

Dana Lee








New York based menswear label Dana Lee have just launched their lookbook which details the brand’s Autumn/Winter collection for the close of this year. Photographed by Jody Rogac, the models are shot and the results have been manipulated to emulate classic portrait paintings. The collection itself comprises a decent amount of variations of knitted and tailored pieces, coloring timeless forms with a muted palette.
“Our objective for this collection was to provide value and longevity for the conscientious shopper, and also offer some designer soul and fashion appeal: clothing that feels poignant for the moment, but can also be worn for seasons. I’m not hung up on imposing head-to-toe looks. Most discerning men end up wearing what works for them- this is a great skill. The AW10 collection offers different scenarios for different types: there are some black ensembles, some earthy/olive/ecru ensembles, and also some statement-making pop colors: Pumpkin and Peacock.” – Dana Lee

The Black Keys-Tighten Up
