Weekend Jam: Sleepy Brown FT. Pharrell & Big Boi - Margarita

If this song doesn't put you in a good mood there just might be something wrong with you. The first single from Sleepy Brown's 2006 debut album" Mr. Brown" never broke the top 100 on the Billboard charts but its always been one of my favorite joints. Check out "Margarita" and I guarantee it will put you in good mood. Enjoy!

Nike Sportwear x Harris Tweed Air Royal

A cool shoe is a cool shoe no matter how its constructed. That being said, I never thought I would see a cool shoe made partly with tweed. Nike has proven me wrong by collaborating with Scottish fabric manufacturer Harris Tweed to do just that. The Air Royal is extremely hot in my opinion. Classic, yet innovative and possibly groundbreaking. I wouldn't be surprised to see numerous shoes mimic this model in the months to come. Dope shoe! Do you agree?

Kanye West on SNL

If you didn't catch Kanye West on SNL last night you missed a real treat. Yezzy did his thing as usually in epic fashion. Pusha T made a cameo while the duo performed "Runaway". Kanye also performed "Power" but the infamous SNL diss was absent as a new verse emerged. Check it out.

N.E.R.D. Interview

N.E.R.D. is one of our favorites bands here at Kirin. The trio recently sat down with Mark Hoppus (of Blink 182) to discuss their new album, the creative process behind the record, and working with Daft Punk on the latest single "Hypnotize U". Pretty cool interview. N.E.R.D. is currently on tour with The Gorillaz. Their new album "Nothing" hits stores November 2nd.

Weekend Jam 2: Kanye West FT. Kid Cudi, John Legend, Pusha T, Ryan Leslie, Lloyd Banks - Christian Dior Denim Flow

I have to show Ye some love this week because even after a song from his actual album was leaked, and he vowed to dead Good Friday's, he still hit us with a banger this week! "Christian Dior Denim Flow" features Kid Cudi, John Legend, Pusha T, Ryan Leslie, and Lloyd Banks? Really? Did Curtis approve this? Either way, the record is hot and Banks was a good fit.

Supreme Nike SB 94

There has been a lot of talk about the collabo shoe between Supreme and Nike. Sneakerheads have been waiting for this shoe for a while and the opinions range from dope to terrible. The Supreme Nike SB 94 is named after the brands founding year. If your wondering, the shoe will be released in early November in 4 colorways.

At first glance, I'm not crazy about this shoe. Its classic but at the same time a bit dull. That opinion may change when I see them in person. What do you guys think?

Nike x Rick Ross Boom Commercial

Its pretty obvious Rick Ross is at the height of his popularity. That fact was made resoundingly clear when Nike came knocking for the Teflon Don to be a part of their new "Boom" commercial campaign. Pretty dope commercial. Do you think he did a good job? Check it out after the jump.
