ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD, OUR MAN, WEEZY, DROPPED HIS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED “DEDICATION 4″ MIXTAPE. THE 15 FREE DOWNLOADABLE TRACKS FEATURE NAMES LIKE BIRDMAN, DETAIL, NICKI MINAJ, YOUNG JEEZY AND J COLE TO NAME A FEW. HE SERVES UP TRUKFIT LINES UP IN HIS TRACKS, TOO, SO YOU KNOW YOU GOT SOME OF THAT SAME WEEZY SWAG REPPIN’ WHILE YOU LISTEN!

THE ALBUM WAS PUSHED BACK AND TUNECHI FANS BEEN WAITIN’ FOR THE RELEASE FOR WEEKS, KNOWING IT’LL BE WORTH THE WAIT. WE CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON LIL WAYNE TO ALWAYS DELIVER THE HOTTEST SH*T AND SICKEST BEATS. WAYNE HAS A HUGE FAN BASE THAT LOVES MIXTAPES. HE SAID BEING THE “GENEROUS DUDE HE IS,” HE HAS TO “CATER TO THOSE PEOPLE” IN AN INTERVIEW WITH MTV.

TUNECHI SAID THE HARDEST PART ABOUT DROPPING THE MIXTAPE IS THAT IT “KILLED ALL THE HOT SONGS THAT’S OUT. I’M ON ALL THE HOT SONGS THAT’S OUT!” THIS DUDE IS (AS ALWAYS) ALL UP IN THE MUSIC SCENE. HE’S PUTTING OUT NEW BEATS IN COMPETITION WITH HIS OTHER NEWEST TRACKS OUT. GO ON ‘N GET YOURS, BOY!

THE NEW “GET LOOSE” TRACK BRINGS HEAT WITH DEM LATIN BEATS. SOHANNY LOOKS BANGIN’ WITH THAT BODY, THOSE MOVES AND BRIGHT THREADS WHILE VEIN IS REPPIN’ THAT SWAG WITH A TIE AND SCARF AND SOME SLICK KICKS. “GET LOOSE” NOT ONLY LOOKS TIGHT, IT’LL GET YOU MOVING. TRUST US, WITH THIS TRACK BEING PART OF “STEP UP 4,” IT’LL GIVE YOU THE MOTIVATION YOU NEED TO GET YOUR A** OFF THE COUCH AND SKATE!

UP AND COMING BAY AREA RAPPER ANTWON’S VIDEO FOR THE DOPE TRACK “HELICOPTER” WAS RELEASED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, BUT ITS FRESH COLORS, NOT TO MENTION FLOWING 40S AND CHICKS IN DEM DAISIES, MAKE US THINK OF SUMMERTIME…OR WHAT’S LEFT OF IT.  CHECK OUT THE SICK VIDEO, WITH CLIPS OF OG STEVE MCQUEEN IN “BULLITT” BOMBING THE HILLS OF SAN FRANCISCO (ON 4 WHEELS).

WAYNE HIMSELF VISITED THE CITY BY THE BAY, STOPPING IN AT THRASHER MAGAZINE TO GRIND THEIR HOMEMADE RAMPS AND SHRED WITH HOMIE AND PRO SKATER, OMAR SALAZAR, WHO WAS STOKED ON WAYNE’S SHREDDIN’ SKILLZ. TUNECHI NAILED THE ROCK-TO-FAKEY, BACKSIDE 50/50 STALL AND BACKSIDE GRIND, AND WORD IS HE’S STEPPING AWAY FROM THE MIC TO SPEND MORE TIME ON HIS DECK. EVEN WHEN HE IS ON THE MIC, HE’S GOT RAMPS BUILT INTO THE BOOTH WHERE HE RECORDS.  SKATING AIN’T EVER TOO FAR AWAY FROM WEEZY!

NEXT TIME YOU’RE IN THE YAY AREA AND LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO SKATE, POTRERO DEL SOL IS A TIGHT, CITY OPERATED PARK IN THE MISSION DISTRICT TO CHECK OUT.

GUESS WHO JUST GOT SPOTTED ROCKIN TRUKFIT IN BEVERLY HILLS. HE’S 6’11″, 265 LBS, AND EARNED 20.6 POINTS PER GAME LAST SEASON. STRAIGHT UP. TMZ CAUGHT NEWEST LAKER, DWIGHT HOWARD, REPPIN THE TRUKFIT SWAG IN CALI YESTERDAY. LOOKS LIKE HOWARD IS JUST AS FRESH OFF THE COURT AS HE IS ON IT.

IN 2004, HE WAS A FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK BY ORLANDO, AND HE STARTED DESTROYING FROM DAY ONE.  IN HIS FIRST SEASON WITH ORLANDO, HE STARTED 82 GAMES AND AVERAGED 67% FROM THE LINE. THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING, THOUGH. AT THE END OF LAST SEASON, HIS STATS STOOD AT 620 GAMES STARTED AND A CAREER AVERAGE OF 12.9 REBOUNDS PER GAME. NOW OUR BOY IS FLYIN THE L.A. LAKERS FLAG AND ONE OF WEEZY’S TRUKFIT LIDS. LOOKS LIKE DWIGHT HOWARD IS MOVING UP IN THE WORLD.

WE KNOW THERE’S A LOT MORE TO SEE FROM HOWARD, SO MAKE SURE TO CHECK HIM AS HE WRECKS IT THROUGHOUT THE 2012-2013 NBA SEASON. WE KNOW WE WILL BE. CHECK OUR LIDS! GET’CHU ONE.http://bit.ly/DwightHowardWearsTRUKFIT

IT SEEMS EVERYONE WANTS TO COP SOME OF LIL’ WAYNE’S STYLE. WHETHER YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT SHIRT HE WORE OR WHERE HE GOT HIS SHOES, WHOLE WEBSITES EXIST JUST TO TELL US WHERE TO GET THE OUTFITS HE WEARS. BUT WHO INSPIRES WEEZY’S STYLE? IN A RECENT INTERVIEW THE MAN BEHIND THE TRUKFIT CLOTHING LINE SAID “I’D SAY IF I HAD TO CONSIDER SOMEONE THE MOST STYLISH RAPPER OUT THERE, I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY THAT WOULD BE A KANYE WEST OR AN ANDRE 3000.”

IT’S EASY TO SEE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WORD “STYLE” AND KANYE WEST. ALL THE CONTROVERSY AND MUSIC ASIDE, FEW PEOPLE CAN’T DENY THAT HE HAS MAD SWAGGER. HE’S A RISK TAKER, AND THE WHOLE REASON GUYS STARTED WALKING AROUND WEARING PINK SHIRTS AND SUNGLASSES A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

‘YE EVEN LAUNCHED A CLOTHING LINE THIS YEAR AND IF YOU’VE SEEN IT YOU CAN TELL IT’S MORE HIGH FASHION THAN URBAN. LIKE LIL’ WAYNE HE HAS NEVER SHIED AWAY FROM CLOSE FITTING CLOTHING AND COLOR. HE OWNS IT ALL AND MAKES IT HIS OWN.

ANDRE 3000 IS AN ICON IN THE WORLD OF HIP HOP STYLE. HE TAKES VINTAGE PREP AND MAKES IT LOOK GOOD IN WAYS THAT NOBODY ELSE CAN. SOME OF HIS ON STAGE OUTFITS COULD EASILY BE CALLED “COSTUMES” AND OUTKAST MUSIC VIDEOS ARE KNOWN FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS CLOTHES.

LIKE ‘YE BROUGHT BACK PINK, ANDRE REPS SOME LOUD COLORS AND ISN’T AFRAID OF MATCHING WELL. AFTER ALL, COLOR AND PATTERN ARE TWO THINGS THAT ANDRE DOESN’T SHY AWAY FROM. ANDRE 3000 IS AN INSPIRATION TO ALL STYLE, AND IT’S THIS ORIGINALITY THAT IS INSPIRATIONAL IN THE BRIGHT SHADES ON TRUKFIT CLOTHES.

LIL’ WAYNE MAY BE OUR STYLE ICON, BUT HIS INSPIRATIONS ARE ICONS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. WEEZY, ANDRE, AND ‘YE ALL TAKE RISKS AND CHOOSE CLOTHES THAT REFLECT THEIR UNIQUE STYLE, EVEN IF THEY’RE THE ONLY ONES WEARING THEM.

IF YOU LIKE THE SHIRT; COP IT. http://trukfit.shop.bravadousa.com/Product.aspx?pc=BGCTKT24&cp=57346_57689 

SKATE LIFE AND GRAFFITI ART FLOW LIKE HIP HOP AND RHYME…REGGAE AND JAH,
VISION AND DREAMS.

SKATING HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT POWER STRUGGLES. IT’S ALWAYS HAD AN US
AGAINST THEM MENTALITY. NO SKATING ALLOWED! SKATERS ARE STILL GETTING
KICKED OUT OF EVERY PARKING GARAGE AND CITY PARK FROM COAST TO COAST.
EVER WONDER WHY ALL THOSE PARKING GARAGES ARE STENCILED WITH SO MUCH
COLORFUL AEROSOL?

THE ARTISTS (SECOND WAVE)

STREET ARTISTS LIKE BANKSY AND SHEPARD FAIREY ARE HOUSEHOLD NAMES IN
THE ART WORLD AND SKATE COMMUNITY. BANKSY HIT THE SCENE WITH A STENCIL
TECHNIQUE; LOOKING HARD AND PUTTING THE TRUTH IN COLOR. IT’S THE KINDA’
SWAG THAT HITS HOME, HARDCORE. SHEPARD FAIREY, ON THE OTHER HAND, CUT
HIS TEETH AS AN ILLUSTRATOR AND DESIGNER IN THE SKATING SCENE. FAIREY WAS
FAMOUS FOR HIS “ANDRE THE GIANT HAS A POSSE” STICKER CAMPAIGN, UNTIL HIS
BARACK OBAMA “HOPE POSTER” SKYROCKETED HIM TO INTERNATIONAL STARDOM.
HOWEVER, BOTH OF THESE GUYS COME FROM A LONG LINEAGE OF ARTISTS AS
POLITICAL AND SOCIAL WARRIORS.

THE ARTISTS (FIRST WAVE)

GET BACK TO YOUR ROOTS! WE HAVE NO FUTURE WITHOUT OUR PAST, AND ART IS
NO DIFFERENT.

JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT AND KEITH HERRING WERE THE FIRST WAVE OF GRAFFITI
ARTISTS TO HIT NYC. THEIR BRAND OF ART WAS PURE EXPRESSIONISM. PART BREAK
DANCE, PART PUNK ROCK, THEIR WORK FUSED THE ORIGINS OF HIP-HOP CULTURE
WITH THE CREATIVITY OF ABSTRACT PAINTERS. IN OTHER WORDS: ANYBODY CAN BE
AN ARTIST. THESE GUYS WERE THE EQUIVALENT OF THE ICONIC TONY HAWK. THEY
WERE THE FIRST GUYS TO JAM THE STREETS OF NEW YORK, THE EAST COAST Z-
BOYS.
THERE’S JUST ONE LITTLE PROBLEM…

IT’S WAS THE EARLY 80S AND FASHION AT THAT TIME WAS LACKING. AN AEROSOL
SMEARED PAIR OF JEANS AND A T-SHIRT WILL WORK FOR A STREET PAINTER, BUT IF
BASQUIAT HAD BEEN A THRASHER, WHAT WOULD HE HAVE WORN? STREET ARTISTS
AND SKATERS MIGHT SHARE THE SAME BELIEFS, SLOGANS, AND A LOVE FOR BEIN
REAL, BUT YOU STILL GOTTA’ DRESS LIKE YOU MEAN BUSINESS. URBAN YOUTH NEED
TO REPRESENT, AND SKATE APPAREL HAS COME A LONG WAY.

THE SKATERS OF TODAY GOT STYLE CUZ ART AND SKATE CULTURE HAVE FUSED TO
BECOME ONE WORLD, ONE LOVE. THE STREETS ARE COVERED WITH GRAFFITTI ART
CUZ THE STREETS ARE ART. THAT BUTTERY STEEZ YOU RECOGNIZE IN A BLOTS TRE
FLIP, THAT’S ART. THAT’S THE SPIRIT OF OUR PASTS COME TO LIFE
