Christian Rich: The Decadence + Pharrell Video Drop [Download]

This artwork has been seen here before, with the leak of Christian Rich's Malicious (feat. Shanell of Young Money), due to their late release of their mixtape The Decadence, which released yesterday on June 7th. They've hooked up with Clinton Sparks, Mick Boogie, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream to drop this tape. The two brothers, Kehinde and Taiwo Hassan, are bringing a sound that's almost unheard of. With recording in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Miami and the Neptunes' Hovercraft studio in Virgina, the project we've all been waiting for, is now complete. The mixtape has a hell of a featured artist list including: Pusha T (of the Clipse), Shanell (of Young Money), Y-O (of U-N-I), Ashlie Luckett, GLC - offering remixes from Bjorn (from Peter Bjorn and John), DJ Benzi and DJ Dstar, Clinton Sparks and more! The mixtape starts off with an intro from Pharrell and included in the zip file is a video drop from him.

Apple Introduces the iPhone 4

The iPhone 4 is set to release on June 24th (with pre-ordering that begins on June 15th), it is offered in Black and White with 16GB at $199 and 32GB at $299. It offers two cameras, one in the front for FaceTime (WiFi video calling). FaceTime has been set to be used only over WiFi at this time, but I almost absolutely sure that the iPhone will later allow video calling to take place without the use of WiFi (for a small fee of course). Imagine being able to see and talk to your wife and children's face when you're miles away? This is what we've all been waiting for. The backside of the iPhone has a 5 mega-pixel camera with video recording that offers HD recording and will be able to be editing in iMovie, all on the device. The iPhone has been a revolutionary phone since 2007, no questions about that. This will be the first phone to launch in the US that overs video calling.

I've been working on pieces with J. Evan over at FTM. The Ohio-based brand is coming with something new - it's not streetwear, it's urban-hippie attire. Be on the look out, it will be flooding local boutiques in both Toledo and Cleveland.
