Street Etiquette - The Black Ivy

Unfortunately I never got a chance to attend a HBC. Clark Atlanta University was my first choice but with out of state fees and no scholarship it just didn't work out. Maybe that's why this movement by the Street Etiquette gents resonates so deeply with me, that and the fact its dope as hell! Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs are Street Etiquette, a style blog and fashion guide that's making waves throughout the industry.

Their latest project "The Black Ivy" gives us an inside look at the style, culture, and tradition of the first black college students. Paying homage to such a special time in African American history with dignity and intelligence makes me proud. As the saying goes... Young, Gifted, & Black.

Good Ass Day

Unless you have been under a rock the past few days you have heard the exciting news about the Good Music Fam. Rumor has it that on September 14th, 2010, Kanye will drop his highly anticipated 5th studio album Good Ass Job, Kid Cudi will release his sophomore effort Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, and rookie Big Sean will release his debut record Finally Famous. The news hit the Good Music Blog right around the time Yezzy took the stage at the BET Awards to perform his alleged first single from Good Ass Job, "Power".

Now surely I am not the first to question this marketing strategy. Wont this hurt the sales of all three albums? Mainly newcomer Big Sean who has yet to prove himself in regards to moving units? It's an interesting move that will raise quite a few eyebrows. Either way its very exciting news! Most notably for the fact that this may prove that Yezzy will stick with the album title we all know and love (there were rumors that it would be changed). Furthermore, there is a release date for three sure to be dope albums! Good music has arrived!!!
