The Ohio rapper has been creating quite a buzz around himself for the past year. After appearing on a couple of Campaigns in streetwear (10 Deep and Lemar and Dauley) and signing to Fool's Gold, Kid Cudi has been getting a lot of radio play in Europe with his song "Day 'N' Night". For now in America, it hasn't been the same, but chances are we'll be hearing more of this kid soon. For now get the 12" single here!
It's Sunday and this time it's yet another classic. Although Italy is famous for bringing us Italo Disco in the late 70's and early 80's, it really was the 90's that propelled Italian Dance music to the mainstream. "Spaghetti House" was actually my introduction to house music as a whole and BlackBox's "Ride on Time" was always "the track" at my school parties. Yup...that and Culture Beat's "Mr. Vain".
"Ride On Time" however was a hell of a track and part of it was because it sampled Loleatta Hollaway's "Love Sensation". Although the Italians cleared the sample with Salsoul Records, Girlfriend didn't get a dime so she took the matter to her own hands and won a pretty sweet settlement. The track went on to spend 6 weeks at number one in the UK Dance charts and became Blackbox's most successful single....probably because they couldn't pronounce their T's!!! LOL.
Ah....these past couple days I've been reminiscing a lot of my childhood in Italy in part because my friend Vale was visiting Boston, but also because the best Dance radio show in Italy is back in the air after some years of hiatus. Go check the "Deejay Time" show here to see what I mean! (it's quite cheesy but then again it is Italy...)
Ps: Vale....if you're reading this, grazie per il vino che ti sei dimenticata sul frigo! Domani me lo bevo a cena... o_O"
Busy P, the Influential head honcho of Ed Banger Records and (ex manager for Daft Punk) was recently rewarded by Nike with a limited edition Air Force One. The Sneakers are to be available only at Colette and they'll retail for about €200 euro. Designed in collaboration with the Ed Banger's art director soME, the shoe is a playful battle of words between Busy P and SoMe about the design of the shoe. Part of the "influencer pack" it is unlikely we'll see the shoe in America although who knows, it might just come out on selected tier zero accounts.
As a way to promote the shoe release, french blog La MJC did a photo shoot reminiscent of the famous Andy Warhol vs. Jean-Michel Basquiat photos by Michael Halsband. Pairing Busy P to Senegalese-French Rapper Elie “Booba” Yaffa the campaign focuses on the influences the two have brought have had in their city of Paris. In any case....Nike blah blah blah. The real reason for this post was to give you guys this ridiculous remix by Crookers of Busy P's "to protect and entertain".
