Music: Streetwear companies like Mixtapes!!!

A couple months ago we saw NYC based brand 10 Deep sponsor Wale's "Mixtape about nothing". Well, now they are back with Kid Cudi to present you yet another mixtape. Similarly, Mishka also recently put out for download their first of a series of DJ Mixes. Featuring "Jokers of the Scene" from Canada, this first installment from "Keep Watch" is definitely one to download. Always at the forefront of streetwear, these two New York brands manage to catch the essence and culture of the scene by bringing an aesthetic from Hip Hop, an Attitude from Punk, and a sound that crossovers genres and expectations...and don't forget to check their clothes, they're Manifest Destitute guaranteed.

Music: Orgasmic's Cuizinier Pour les Filles Vol.3

There really isn't much that hasn't been said about Orgasmic (who looks like a French Ice T) and his role as the Beat maker in TTC and Mixtape maestro for the Institubes Label. Now on his third installment, Orgasmic's Cuizinier is hotter than ever with guest spots by Spank Rock, Pase Rock, Marina (formerly of Bonde Do Role), Teki Latex, TTC, Omnikrom, and the So Fresh Squad. If you like French Hip Hop, Baile Funk, French Electro and that Hipster Hip-House sound via Baltimore, then expect this to be "orgasmique" (hehe). Although all the tracks are pretty good, we liked C’est Pour Mieux Gagner the best...how can you go wrong with filtered disco and hood lyrics? Word of advice to young hipsters out there...If you wanted to buy Steve Aoki's Pillow face, don't bother. Save a couple of bucks and buy this here.
