MyPod.

There's nothing like a good iPod update. This little device rarely leaves my car but when it does I know it's just as happy as me that it's getting filled with some juicy goodness.

Tonight.

SHHO is preparing for a global takeover. If you're interested in becoming a part of the team at VCU, check out the interest meeting tonight. We're coming back strong. Watch out!

Sick Society.

We've had a few questions about our last post on what kind of shirts some of the folks were wearing. Although they haven't officially launched as a clothing company, The Sick Society provided the apparel for that evening. They're in the process of renovating their website but you should see more of them soon. The graphics are were designed by our friends over at A College Project.

A few more shirts after the break.

Da Man Vs The Man.

The Worst Kids in collaboration with A College Project finished up the music video for good friend Jayo P. other day. Jayo is a rapper from the ATL who now resides in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Now tell me you can't see this on the radio.

The video was shot at the a skateshop in Petersburg called the Pizza Shop.

The Corey Smith.

Met up with my buddy Corey Smith the other night. Not to be confused with the white musician, Corey Smith or the football player born in Richmond, VA under the same name, Corey Smith the Black Rapper, which I will now continue to refer as, took me out to a nice, Southern dinner at Croaker's Spot. This is where I'm tempted to change the title of this post to Croaker's Spot and forget all about CSTBR but I digress.

Corey's mixtape, The Definition, is dropping in a minute and is receiving its final touches. Check it out when it does.

More after the break.

Need Supply Co.

I ended up at Need Supply yesterday to finish up some video work for their website. They recently moved to the end of the block in Carytown and opened up their new doors this past weekend. Now Richmond is no LA, SF or NY. There aren't any flagship stores of any of my favorite brands. There isn't really a place you can walk in, hangout and be apart of their identity. That's why it always amazes me when I walk in to Need. For over the past decade, Need Supply has slowly been rising to the top. It's like the reverse of a boiled frog.

They carry some of the best brands and definitely the best denim around. Their new space is, well more spacious and gives you a lot more room to breathe after coming to the realization, "I wish I was more rich so I can buy more clothes." So if you're ever in these neck of the woods, you should definitely stop by and give them money, you'll get something nice in return.

More pics after the jump.

Waken Baken.

I recently got a chance to photograph Wiz Khalifa before he got busted for a bus full of weed. Even though catching the show at a theatre, ballet venue wasn't the best, the performances made up for it. Big K.R.I.T. also Touched Down and I'm proud to say he's one of the nicest dudes I've met. 

Shout out to Creative Nation for throwing the show as well as the homie Nickelus F for opening up.

Some more pictures after the jump.

Chasing Forever.

Found this on my desk today. This is one of the first drafts of the SHHO Brand Book. Most photography was done by theworstkids. You might be able to find it in specific retail stores in New York City sometime in the near future. Wink wink. For now peep out some pages after the jump.

SO: Creative Nation

Shout Out to Creative Nation.

Now everyone knows we're not one for self-promotion, but Creative Nation is one of the premiere promoters in the Richmond area. There's at least four couples having sex on the dance floor each night. If you ain't one of them, you can at least be one of the twenty sweaty dudes hovered around them.

Damn Krit and his photo bombs! Big K.R.I.T. is not directly involved with Creative Nation. Although we will have pictures from the Wiz and Krit show up shortly. In the meantime. Bottoms up!

R&R.

We stopped by the office and warehouse of the RP55 Group recently in Virginia Beach, VA. This place is the home of T.I.'s Akoo Clothing, Clipse's Play Cloths as well as many other clothing brands. We can't say what we were doing here but we can give you a little tour.

This is Ralph Reynolds, one of the co-founders of RP55. He wanted to get away from NYC and came down to the beach with 47 cents in his pocket. He ended up being one of the biggest hip hop moguls in the urban street wear game. Don't get them confused with Supreme or some vague Japanese brand that overcharges for a button-up. RP55 is straight business.

A few more pics after the jump.

Jeff Staple x New York Fried Chicken.

Sat down with Jeff Staple and the cats over at SHHO to talk about the dogs in New York and the rest of the world. Jeff's going to be one of the first folks featured in an upcoming, local publication in Richmond, VA. More to come. Stay tuned. And also welcome back.
