Dropped this week...

A NEW WEEKLY @ WHITE ROOM

So starting June 13 there will be a new weekly at The White Room in Downtown Miami. This is one of my favorite venues because you're not stuck in one area, there's 2 rooms and an outside patio thats maaaaaad chill. This is gonna be a dope night with all the people that are involved... and its HOSTED BY MAJOR LEAGUE!

Memorial Day Weekend

So its "Hip Hop Weekend" down in Florida starting today..
If you're going to South Beach BE CAREFUL! The cops DONT play!
There's a ton of events goin on this weekend.. Its so hard to keep up!
One place I go to see what's poppin is www.The305.com
Not only the website, but the forums always have all the flyers up for any upcoming hip hop shows... and also some really funny sh!t too..

A few shows that are lookin good for the weekend are Hip Hope @ Studio A and also The Independent Hip Hop Artist Showcase @ The White Room... both on Sunday, both walking distance from eachother.

I also wanted to let you know that me (cMs) and Lex will be out of the shop this weekend. Mike Beatz and friends will be here to help you with your shopping needs. If the shutters are open but no one answers when you knock, please call the number on the door (shop num. 954.703.6513) they'll probably be in the studio and its hard to hear without the dog barking.

On that note, have a great weekend and be safe!

What Is Cinco De Mayo Anyway?

My tribute to Cinco De Mayo Above..

I always thought it meant something else, no one ever really explains it to me. I found this excerpt and thought I'd share it with you guys...

Cinco de Mayo, which is NOT Mexican Independence Day (September 16) as many believe, marks a battle between the imperialist 6,000 man French army and 5,000 brave Mestizo and Zapotec natives, led by Ignacio Zaragoza in the Batalla de Puebla, just south of Mexico City. Mexico had recently called for a moratorium on payments due to Spain, England and France for loans that had been made to the country. Spain and England agreed to this, but not the midget Napolean-led France. They wanted Mexico for themselves, in part as a in-your-face message to the United States.

So the battle ensued on May 5, 1862, with the rag-tag locals defeating the mighty French. Unfortunately, it was a short-lived victory, as three days later the French prevailed and marched into the capital and took control with the help of the conservative Mexican party.

Nonetheless, its a fun day and if it makes people with Mexico roots proud of their ancestral country, that is a good thing. Just know what you’re celebrating. Salud!

May SB Release

Nike has line-up a pretty solid collection of SB releases including the Ferris Bueller Dunk High, 720 Degrees Dunk Low, gold and aqua Air Trainer 2 SB, white and green P-Rod II, and an assortment of other sneakers.

In addition to sneakers, Nike SB will also be accompanying the shoes with matching apparel.

MIA Skateshop is probably sold out of my 2 favorite already.. (Ferris Bueller's & the 720's). But check out BC Surf N Sport or IWS.. They just might have some left..
