I Got Mints For Sale

With word of deletion on the horizon, I decided to take a look at the latest “I Got Mints For Sale” NFT collection from Jimmy Regular.

This series of lo fi GIF collages was created by Jimmy using IG story window. The collection of 69 pieces came together over a four year span.

This piece titled “Nightcap”, could be a take on social media consumption, or just a playful way to say that time is passing. I really dig the placement of the moon and stars.

This piece titled “That’s What They Tell Us” is a dope take on possibly the pharmaceutical industry as well as the drug market in general. They tell us not to do drugs, yet they rather prescribe someone xans instead of Medical Marijuana. Pretty crazy he made this on IG story.

This piece is just crazy to me, creating a collage vibe with the different lettering on “designer”. The dude with the tall Jean jacket has his own swag, setting him apart from the drip trend. Shout out to the middle school S used.

My favorite piece in the entire collection has got to be “Brick On My Brick”. From the abstract moon face to all the snow references, plus the raining bricks. Kermit The Frog shows up to the party as well. The Westside Gunn reference ties it all together. Hopefully I can get my hands on this one before they are all burned.

Jimmy has stated that he is going to burn the collection in the coming days so act fast. Not sure what collection, if any he will drop next, but fans and supporters alike will be behind him either way. The release of “99.2ooo” is one of my most anticipated drops, fingers crossed on a trailer for that soon.

Full Court St.Pete

Full Court Classics is opening its newest location in St.Pete, adding to the thriving vintage and fashion community growing in the Tampa Bay Area.

Over 500 vintage tees will be making its way onto the racks this Saturday for the grand opening. I really hope to see some vintage Tampa Bay sports gear for sale like some old schools Bucs gear or maybe even some rare Tampa Bay Bandits pieces. Interested in seeing the curation process Full Court will have with their selected pieces.

New location means new shop tees. In honor of St.Pete’s namesake, Full Court has unveiled a Saint Peter tee in the black color way. This shirt is definitely on some 727 shit, and the halo over the ball is really striking.

With the Pelican being synonymous with St.Pete it was only right to make the new mascot for Full Court St.Pete a Pelican. I definitely will be picking up one of these new black Pelican tees. I dig the pirate vibes on the hat and stogie of the bird.

A few St.Pete exclusive Florida Orange stain decks will be available in collaboration with Strangelove Skateboards. Being a shop exclusive, I am pretty sure these will be sold out quick. “It’s pimpin pimpin!“

Full Court St.Pete will be having its grand opening this Saturday 1/29. With tons of giveaways and opening day exclusives it’s a no brainer to pull up. I really love seeing the passion the city of St.Pete and the Tampa Bay community has for the culture, and I know the city will come out and support the new shop.

Toast To The Gods Freestyle Breakdown

Posse Cuts and Cypher tracks seem to be a thing of the past nowadays in Hip Hop. Every once in awhile a track like “1train” or “4,3,2,1” comes along and makes you go wow this a game changer. This brand new “Toast To The Gods Freestyle” featuring YZM, Richie Guapo, Fettisuo, Sage The Fox, and Dosja OffThaCorna with Key Kartel’s own Heavy Kev on production, is reminiscent of classic tracks like that, showcasing some of Tampa Bays hottest spitters. Here is my full breakdown.

The visuals provided by Dopuvisuals and the man himself Toast To The Gods brings the whole vibe together.

The track starts off with that signature we all know and love from Heavy Kev, instantly signifying a banger. Richie Guapo starts off the freestyle with that “PrettyboyGuap” style flow. His portion of the video was a favorite of mine showing him running from 12, and rocking PERM$ SB.

YZM always brings a gravitas whenever he is on a track. I love the aggression and double time flow he used towards the middle of his verse, starting out with that “Water Wip” intro. YZM is universally named “your favorite rappers favorite rapper”, and verses like this further that.

Representing Outside World ENT Fettisuo is the piece that sets the track apart from regular freestyles. His portion at the mid point in the end act as the hook of the track. I feel he sends a nod at each of his fellow MCs on the track mentioning “the corner” and a “fox”.

Representing Darkaire Sage The Fox brings a totally different approach to the track, bringing a whisper flow at first, and finishing off his verse with a double time flow. I love the way his part was shot between the handle bars, adding for a dope effect.

Also repping Outside World ENT, Dosja OffThaCorna brings that street aspect to the track. Dosja has the perfect menacing voice that fits his content. That “Turned Down” line at the end was cold. Can’t wait for “Sink Or Swim” to drop.

Big shout out to Toast To The Gods and Dopuvisuals for making this track and video possible. This absolutely will be on my end of the year list, and that’s saying a lot since it’s only January. Big shout out to all the artists involved, showing that working together really makes the scene flourish.

FUKK EM On My Shirt

Your favorite brands favorite brand FUKK EM World Wide is taking no time off, dropping the brand new “Inferno” tees for all the sinners out there.

I always dig the approach Fukk EM takes with their designs, always staying on point with brand, while adding in new fascists to tell a complete story with the drop. I liked how instead of creating a devil character, they went all in with the word mark coming out of the fire, and the devil horns placed slightly above.

The black tee is my favorite of the drop, allowing the orange and red from the logo to show off more.

The blue color way is an unexpected color choice for the design but I feel blue is a big Florida color. It would be dope to see some matching trucker hats drop with the same logo, making a complete fit.

The orange tee is on some Halloween vibes. This would be a nice piece to stash until spooky season, bringing it out just in time. Big props to Fukk EM for having the fire not blend into the shirt, making the logo still look crispy on the orange tee.

FUKK EM continues to remain at top tier status within the Tampa Bay scene. With prominent features like OTL Beezy and Richie Guapo, I already know 2022 is gonna be big for the brand. You know the vibe, Fukk EM on my shirt, Ksubi on my jeans.

Language

Always going quality over quantity, the homies over at REACH elevate their game once again with the latest, “Language” tee in that “Soft Plum” color way.

Using a premium cut and sew garment, fabricated in Portugal, these 15oz 100% cotton is the most premium fabric REACH has used to date. The concept of the tee is really dope featuring the REACH word mark in various languages. That back circle hand logo is a game changer, becoming one of my new favorite signatures of REACH.

That “Soft Plum” color way is what really makes the piece for me. That cream color font fits nicely of the all plum tee. Purple is my favorite color so with this being a smoother shade of purple you already know I’m picking it up. This piece def pairs well with a previously released purple “Cigar City Champions” fitted.

With an LA pop up on the horizon for Super Bowl Sunday, REACH is always applying pressure in the game, establishing themselves as the premium fashion boutique and brand in Tampa Bay and beyond . Everything is Made In REACH.

Dog House Paradise

To celebrate the huge success of his 813 Essential Album “Dog World”, Storma is joining forces with Outside World ENT & the Style Room to bring you a can’t miss event with the “Dog House Paradise” event on 1/29/22.

Storma will be headlining the show, playing some older cuts but especially a slew of joints off “Dog World”. You already know the crowd is going to go crazy once they hear the menacing beat from “Misery” drops. “Dog World” is already essential to the area but this show will only add to its longevity.

King Dirty himself is grading the stage for the first time in a minute. As a huge fan of Suo I want him to perform all my favorite joints like “Reverse”, as well as new favorites like “Perfect Dark” and “Rolling Loud 19’” off the “Jackpot EP”. Big things coming from Suo this year.

Von $hine has been flooding the streets with that pressure as of late. With the Drill inspired “Aston” dropping on Friday, I hope to see that one make the set list as well as some of my other favorite Von records.

Three D Swayze has been killing the shows as of late, even opening for Maxo Kreem. You already know Swayze is gonna be performing fan favorites like “Starfox 64” and “Cash Coma”, but I hope to hear at least one track off his upcoming record.

Dro can pretty much perform anything and imma be hype. From the hits to the deep cuts bro has it all. His next solo project might be my most anticipated project of 2022, so hopefully we can get some unreleased joints.

Dosja OffThaCorna just unleashed his latest street smash “Sink Or Swim”, which has been heavy in the rotation as of late. Classic from Dosja like “Superman” will definitely get the crowd pumped so be on the look out for that one.

PERM$ SB head honcho Richie Guapo will be hitting the stage at the event as well. His latest project “Prettyboyguap” has been heavy in my rotation as of late. I am really interested to see how my favorite tracks off that project translate into a live set.

Outside World ENT are no strangers to the Style Room, so you already know DJ Skum will be on the ones and twos playing your favorite hits as well as local classics.

Tropixal will be brining those Tampa Jook vibes, especially on with his club anthem “Paradise Party”. Having special guest status who knows what other bangers Tropixal will bring to the stage.

Rumor has it YZM will be gracing the stage at the event. YZM always brings tons of energy to his performances, giving him the potential to have performance of the night.

Jigink will be laying down some tatts, so pull up to the booth and get that piece you’ve had your mind on since last year.

The line up is stacked and doors open at 9:30. Shots are 2 for 1 until 12:30 so lock in your tickets A$AP. Check out the “Dog House Paradise” playlist on Apple Music to get in tune with what’s going on.

813 Essential Reviews: Storma- Dog World

A project that would have been on my Top 15 Albums of 2021 list but I was sleep is Storma’s “Dog World”. Bringing a West Coast esthetic over Detroit Style production with a Sosa esque delivery. Damn it’s a “Dog World!”

The project starts off with a banger out the gate. The dark production fits the menacing imagery Storma is bringing to life with his bars. I picture a dark gritty video in the kitchen for this joint. That “Brodie in the kitchen mixing up dawg food” line is cold as fuck.

“You Know” is one of those joints you just play mad loud in your whip. Storma’s nonchalant delivery shows his confidence on the mic. You already know Storma is repping 813. From Bolts games to Bucs games, Storma really out here.

The atmospheric production on “Mbg” was a favorite of mine. The beat is still hard hitting but the background adds a gravitas to the track. Storma’s flow was A1, especially when he dropped all the basketball references.

This shit a classic right here. From the eerie production, to the essential visuals from Quinton2times that accompany the track. Storma’s sped up flow on this one shows he’s got some versatility in his game. Legendary for sure.

“33” featuring 44oakBoy is on some more laid back vibes than the previous joints. Storma changes up his flow a bit on this track to match the spaced out nature of the track. 44oakBoy added a nice change of pace vocally, with his verse bringing a ton of energy. One of my favorite hooks on the project is from this track.

“1008” featuring Travae is on some dream like Detroit cloud rap shit. The track puts Storma on his pimp shit. That “It’s A Dog World” line is one of my favorites off the project. Travae did his thing on the track, especially brining that sing songy flow towards the end of his verse.

“Hoop Dreams” puts Storma back on that menacing shit. The eerie synths on the beat paint a grim picture of what Storma is spitting. I like the theme of how Storma used to have hoop dreams but now it’s all about street life. Almighty Storma!

The project ends out on the spaced out “Wyk”. This track is a little more playful than the rest. The “what you know” part of the hook will get stuck in your head, adding repeat listens. You already know Storma is about that life so be cautious.

“Dog World” is Storma’s best body of work to date, proving his staying power in the Tampa Hip Hop scene for many years to come.

Get With The Action

We ready for action! My favorite online consignment boutique from across the bridge eightonethree is starting the new year off with a neutral tones collection of socks, comprised of 3 neutral colored sport socks for a low key but fashionable look.

I love the classic look on these socks, allowing them to be rocked on low key levels, as well as on some high fashion shit. Since it’s grey gang all day you already know I am going to scoop up a pair or two of these.

The almost felt green color way is a vibe. These would pair well with a pair of Stan Smiths, or any all white sneaker. The eightonethree logo really hits on these.

The white socks featuring the eightonethree logo in the same green mentioned previously is a dope contrast from the other pair. These give off a tennis court vibe, furthering that luxury sport esthetic the brand is known for.

With each release eightonethree is craving out their own vibe, making them one of the premier shopping experiences in the Tampa Bay Area.

It’s Raining

Following up their teaser ad, Before The Storm unveils the upcoming “Brain(Storm)” collection available on 1/21/2022.

At first glance you already know I need that grey hat featuring the secondary BTS logo. Definitely will get heavy rotation in the streets and podcast. Not much of a bucket hat guy, but you might see around the burg, rocking a BTS bucket once the drop goes live.

The mug has been shown off in a few story posts, making it an essential accessory for any storm chaser.

It appears two new tees will be available in black and white color ways. The previous radar tee is one of my favorites, so I am really exited to pick up this black version. Really interested in this new hurricane character the team came up with, which is featured on the other tee in a black and white color way.

With chilly season still in full swing in Tampa Bay, the new long sleeve and hoodie offerings will come in clutch for sure. That white hoodie with the pink hits is a vibe for sure. The fonts on BTS shirts are some of my favorite details so that long sleeve will be in the rotation.

No strangers to the tote game, these brand new black totes feature a design reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo”. Still have my orange tote from the the “In The Desert” drop, but this one has my eye for sure.

Not sure if the rumored umbrellas will be apart of this collection, but I feel these will be the statement piece accessory for the brand once they are released.

Before The Storm Studios is starting off 2022 on a strong note. The accompanying commercial as well as the story being told with the pieces, shows the growth the brand has seen within the past year. Don’t miss out on this drop Storm Chasers!

Pushing Plum

Scott Andrew Fisher and the rest of the team over at SAFDS have been hard at work with new pillows, prints, and pieces.

These brand new handmade Plum Leather mono stripe pillows just hit different. Purple is my favorite color so I can dig the plum shade on the leather portion of the pillows. The 23 X 23 X 9 pillows aren’t incredibly huge, allowing versatility with placements. These are a limited run of 20 so definitely don’t sleep.

After starting his vintage paper target collection back in 2015, Scott began adding his own touches to the pieces incorporating floral patterns, which in Scott’s eyes “brings a contrast against the aggressive nature of the subject.” The illustrations of William Morris also inspired the pieces. Each piece is 28” x 43”, numbered and signed by Scott himself. Limited run of 50 per piece.

To mark their first collaboration, SAFDS has teamed up with Kari Kinder of KIND Studios to create a hand made box set. Sharing a love of coffee the duo fused their mediums into this set, featuring four wheel thrown ceramic cups that come neatly wrapped in a American black walnut box.

With all of these new pieces being featured in the studio as well as the, Backlot Breakfast Club hang outs that happen every second Sunday, SAFDS is brining to become a main fixture of the creative scene in Tampa Bay, not only for the studio itself but for the creatives that come through and chill as well.
