Baby Mobsters

Hola visions readers. Today I just felt compelled to do a post on an artist who just does it all. He raps, produces, an established actor, comedian and all around overachiever. This guy's hustle just never ends. I'm talking about Donald Glover. You don't know who that is? You may know him by another name: Childish Gambino. He has made power moves to take his rap career to the next level and I have to say I've become a fan of his come up. A Drake-esque style and similar actor turned rapper path CG has a very in your face, raw, open, and utterly catchy style and delivery. More of a punchline guy he has some very clever lines in his verses. "Alright Gambino is a mastermind, fuck a bitch to past the time, mass appeal orange line, you smoke your green I'm spending mine, the beat is witches brew so beware this shit is potent, ee cumin in her face call it poetry in motion" although a bit vulgar this bar from 'Freaks and Geeks' hooked me from the Jump. He is also very real all too often we catch artist trying to talk about things they have no business talking about but CG isn't one of them. From Touching on his plight with girls to worrying about people not believing in him, Childish goes through and helps to make the soundtrack to every male early 20 something year olds life. Im looking forward to hearing more from him and what a full length mixtape has to offer but I'm down with the CG movement. He is also on tour and I'm totally looking for some tickets but I hear they are a hard find. If you guys got a hook up let me know!! That's all for now and I'm going to post his most recent EP for you guys to checkout because I have most definitely been bumping to it. ENJOI!

One More Time For The Ladies

My heart was all a'flutter as I got hit with all things wonderful upon the news of Elle Magazine's new issue launch. The "Women In Music" issue features 12 female artists that demonstrate insane talent, crazy style, and endless swag on the regular. I love that the dozen are a combination of both rookies and vets and that Elle really handpicked a variety of artists that cover all genres. Gwen Stefani is the star of the show, however, Miss Nicki Minaj also landed a well-deserved cover shot. Others include Willow Smith, Adele, and Jennifer Hudson as well as some true queens in the game like Aretha Franklin.

It's really refreshing to come across yet another movement of unity and women's empowerment through such a universal outlet as music and art. & of course this post wouldn't be true to form if I didn't also mention the sick styling within this spread!! I'm practically drooling over Nicki's mini dress by designer Mark Fast, and I adore that dope origami-inspired skirt wrapped around tiny little Willow. (More on my obsession after I actually cop the issue LoL).

MTV peeped the fact that neither Katy Perry nor Rihanna made the final 12, which I must agree was a little surprising. They also dropped some great quotes from Gwen Stefani on how she feels about some of the newcomers and the image that they're striving for, claiming that despite what many say, she sees very little influence of herself in them. (click here for MTV's article)

All in all, I'm really excited about the issue which hits stands April 12th. Elle really scored big with combining the style, beauty, talent, and charisma of a group of ladies that surely have a story to tell. I highly encourage anyone who is as passionate as I am about music, fashion, and girl power to support this dope editorial piece!!



With Love, xo

VIIs on VIIs on VIIs

SNEAKER POST!! I know I know we haven't had one in a while but this one without a doubt makes up for all the sneaker news we have missed out on. This year seems to be the year of the VIIs (Which just so happens to be my favorite pair of Jays). There are 2 major releases that drop this month and one that cam out in march that have the sneaker world buzzing. The Orion Blue VIIs dropped last month to some critical acclaim. They are definitely a clean shoe and a must cop in my book. The only downside would be that they are a General Release so don't expect to be the only one with them on. This month has 2 super special VII releases. Another new colorway and a very sought after quickstrike called the "year of the rabbit". This have a slight resemblance to the Hare VIIs yet clearly are their own shoe. These you will have to do some hunting for and trust you will want to grab yourself a pair if you can! No set release date nut they are slated to release around eater (whenever that is lol). And last but most definitely not least the amazing and magnificent re-release of the Jordan VII Bordeauxs. These will go quickly I am quite sure because some people have waited 2 decades just to get there hands on a pair. So plot and Plan now because on April 16th these lovely sneakers will grace stores nation wide. So sneakerheads lace up and get ready for these awesome releases. ENJOI! (Pics after the Jump!!)

I am Misha B.

Humble indeed.
Misha B. is beyond amazing, starting from the bottom as she reaches for the top of the modeling world. A sweats-wearing Rutgers' student by day, and a couture-wearing fashionista by night, she's transforming her dreams into reality. I'm one of many to witness her growth that will continue to prosper. Misha B. inspires all, "It's never too late". Anything is possible if you really want it. Phenomenal, as she introduces her talents to the fashion world, while also striving for that Rutgers' degree at the end of her college career. She hasn't lost sight of her priorities at all. It's still on her list of future accomplishments. Education comes first and everything else falls in place. With a mindset like this, I look forward to Misha's success. She deserves every bit of it.
Misha B, you are incredible.

With style,
NyjerahNicole

Journey of the #BasedGods

Journey of the #BasedGods. This is what we (Me aka Andre Patron Jr., The League's Manny aka Javier Haze and Nate aka Thaddeus Hennessy and Grizz Nation's Rob aka Slim the Ace [or as we are collectively known SDMG]) so fittingly named our trip to California. 6 days and 6 nights of purely random escapades, tomfoolery and all around utter debauchery. It was, to say the least, the best time I have ever had in my entire life! We quite literally turned Cali inside out. If I could explain it I would but I can't so I won't just know that tthe pictures I am sharing with you don't even begin to show you how awesome our trip really was and it really was a time to remember. Made some new friends, got some new contacts and we really got to see what Cali had to offer and show them what Jersey brings to the table. So just take a gander at a couple of our photos. and know this.. The is the 1st of many in the on going story that is #TheJourneyoftheBasedGods (I am totally going to copyright that!). ENJOI!

WE BACK!!. I know you guys get a little anxious when we have our short hiatuses but we always come back with special little gems for you guys. Today is a post on a pretty dope website/store  based out in Vancouver (Yes, Canada) that has one of the illest selections of DS snapbacks, sweatshirts, jackets and other vintage apparel that you are probably not going to find anywhere else. I'm talking about FasinFrankvintage.com. So any of you back packers, hiptsters or sports apparel junkies who are looking for a huge selection of vintage college, NBA, NFL, NHL and miscellaneous clothing this is definitely the site for you. I have been on the site a few times (thanks to my lovely lady friend Sabrina) and I have already picked out about 8 items I'm purchasing once I re-up. They have such a large selection and varying price ranges but I am quite sure everyone could find something that suits them well on the site. So go check it out and follow them on twitter (I'll post it below). Who knows I may even add the site to my blogs to watch because they are pretty dope. That's it for now folks. ENJOI!
