LittleBull 4U Presents “Momentum” an experience combining art, fashion, and dance at The Factory St.Pete.
🏕💯🐃
Exploring the theme of creation in the Post-Industrial USA, LittleBull 4U uses the “momentum” to evolve in what was thought to be the end. To continue even when all the odds are against you, “Momentum” will carry you forward.
Nikes On My Feet
With many of the designs kept under wraps until the show, I have a feeling the looks will match the Post Industrial esthetic of The Factory. With dance being a major theme in the show, I feel the models will act as story tellers, guiding us with their looks as well as their movements.
Featuring fellow artists and creators such as @femmekeanu, @whatbutts, @ladydaisychains, @alandwolfe, @skilhaus, @hoodge.shoots, @em.koh, @alexisdeaneogg, @kylestrangelove, @thetampianvintagejungle, @thefactorystpete, @juanchamorro
Tickets for the event are still available on littlebull4u.com, with a few reserved seats still up for grabs. It’s really dope The Factory St.Pete continues to host events that are helping grow the Fashion and Art world in St.Pete.
Back in the early days of Jit Camp my goal was to be the first person to bring an official Exotic Pop machine to the St.Pete Area. Although I am not the first to do it the homies over at Rajax Meat Market are holding it down for the 727, providing official Exotic Pops, Cool Cups, and Exotic Snax to all the local sippers.
🏕💯🥤 🏕💯🚀
Out the gate Rajax has all the hottest flavors and are constantly restocking. You want “Firework Faygo”,they got it. You want Canada Dry Cream Soda in a 2 liter, they got it. From old time classics, all the way down to the latest imports, more than likely they got it in stock or can get it.
All types of flavors
The Exotic Pop “Cool Cups” are a big hit in the streets. With flavors like Soulja Boy’s “Pineapple Lemonade” to Pooh Shiesty’s “Slimeade”. My most wanted flavors have got to be Philthy Rich’s “Melonade” and Mama Moe’s “3rd Ward Sweet Tea”. Po it Up!
My go to
I remember when Tropical Sprite could be picked up at pretty much any store in the Burg. Now the only place in the city to come by the best Sprite flavor of all time is Rajax. Shit this stuff so rare I might have to pick up a pallet.
Hella SnaxMagical and Mystical
Gotta have some Exotic Snax to pair with your drank, Rajax has the latest snaxs ranging from sweet to savory. Why sign up for a mail in snack box when you can ride up the road to Rajax. The Exotic Skittles just hit different.
Rajax has been a staple of the community for years now, but with that official Exotic Pop location on their resume, they are the start at what could become the next big hub for Exotic Pop in the Tampa Bay Area. Shout out to the homies over at Exotic Pop Soflo and Exotic Pop Tally for always holding it down for Florida.
Taking inspiration from the discovery of real life Time Crystals, multidisciplinary artist DATASYNCED is bridging the gap between digital and physical art with his latest 1/1 NFT titled “Edge Light”.
🏕💯💾🏕💯⏰
This interactive NFT is a web installation, experimental exploration, and artistic depiction of dream like digital Time Crystals on an infinite loop in digital space. Time Crystals are a newly discovered type of matter that resembles properties that are a kin to that of a perpetual motion machine.
The web installation is an exploration on the idea of breaking codes that are adequate in our current reality of what is possible and impossible. Think of an infinite power source that keeps going and going. The first real Time Crystal was created using a Google quantum computer.
🏕💯💾Only a Matter Of Time
Not only can you see the piece digitally but once minted the holder will have the proper tools to bring the piece into the camera real world via projection. This allows the holder to project the piece at their own installation or events without the creator being present, an experience that will allow DATASYNCED’s work to live on forever.
With the piece already being sold, the future of Interactive NFTS is very bright, with the whole NFT game at its infancy, immersive artists like DATASYNCED are crucial to the evolution of the medium.
To hold supporters over until the next full project, Barely Legal drives into the winners circle with the 3 track EP “Daytona” which has been getting mad love in the streets as well as from one the internet’s busiest music nerd “The Needle Drop”.
🏕💯🏁
“Dnd” kicks off the project with a head knocker. I like the anthem style vibe and fast paced nature of the track, fitting with the racing theme of the project. Hella quotableson this one, Barely Legal is always able to be clever and witty with their lines. Dope way to start off the project.
“That Way” is really one of them ones. The triumphant production sets the tone. I really mess with Kid Dre’s verse on this track, especially towards the end showing a lot of emotion. Jay Browne has been killing it with the features lately, and “That Way” is just another feather in his cap. Great track, can’t wait to hear it at the next live show.
“Run It Up” has the collective back on their anthem shit. This one is short and sweet but that’s really all it need to be. A barrage of bars and a banging beat is all you need sometimes.
“Daytona” will definitely hit the spot amongst the Barely Legal Collective faithful. Pretty much all these tracks will go great during a live show, so I am for sure looking forward to that.
Taking a different approach than a majority of the NFT projects that make up the space, Not NASA has arrived bringing dope artwork that has potential to create an even doper community, with the goal of brining their fleet of UFO’s to colonize people’s imagination.
🏕💯🛸
The project is made up of 1111 NFTs, 222 of which are rare, 777 Generics, and 1 mysterious. The more energy you put into the project the more you get out of it. Airdrops will include accessories and power ups for your UFO that advance rarity. Your token will be your ticket to all Not Nasa events and merch, as well as lifetime 50% off physical artwork. The minting network has yet to be finalized, but gas fees are assured to be low.
Metapunk
This Metapunk UFO is one I have my eye on for sure. I dig how there is almost another UFO coming up from under the OGs beam.
009
This DOOM inspired Not Nasa 009 has got to be one of the rares. Anything DOOM is a vibe for me, so if I happen to snag this piece I’ll be hype.
Hi
The scythe on this Not Nasa makes it stand out for me. I am not sure what will go into rares and generics, but the almost web like beam coming from the UFO is very unusual.
I Love To Ski
This piece has got to be a rare. From the Skis to the Chanel chain. I really mess with now each UFO makes a face, making each piece more relatable and distinct.
It’s all Luv, Luv
With the goal of merch and spreading love through space, this is literally only the beginning for Not Nasa. Join the discord to be apart of the white list, as we travel through space on the road to 100%, allowing us to reach Mars.
The homies over at “No Rats In The Trap” are finally dropping the long awaited hats, as well as a restock on the super limited “Kill-A-Rat- Hotline” long sleeve.
🏕💯🚫 🐀 🏡 KAR
After seeing the homies Sunny Fritz and DJ Skum rocking a couple of pieces from this collection it definitely peaked my interest. “No Rats In The Trap” is a movement I can definitely get behind.

The “Kill-A-Rat-Hotline” long sleeve is finally being restocked. Each drop is small and limited so since this is the second release I would definitely recommend picking up one of these, cause they probably never coming back. Are you real enough to call the hotline?
Still Blunted
I can definitely see myself rocking one of these brand new “No Rats In The Trap” hats. It’s only a matter of time before you see the hat being rocked on both sides of the bay.
I am really hype that “No Rats In The Trap” came out strong with the restock, as well as gave us something new with the hat. With a brand new Fritz project on the way, things are all lining up in the sunshine.
The homies at REACH kicked off Super Bowl Weekend with their first LA Pop Up on Melrose, setting up shop with 2001 Odysey and Hunts Fabrications, the pop up was definitely big moment in time for everyone involved, especially supporters of the brand from out west getting their hands on some exclusive REACH.
🏕💯🙌🏼🤞🏼
In honor of such a monumental event, the homie brought out all the big guns. The LA Angels Fitted made a comeback, as well as the “Cigar City Fitted” and “Florida Jit” fitteds respectively. Plenty of these pieces will receive their first drop in LA, following up with everything being available in store days later.
OGSlime
Keeping it simple with these four REACH logo tees, the color way choices on the font are crazy. My personal favorites are the white tee with that classic red REACH font and that black tee with the slime green color way. You can’t go wrong with any of these.
Shout out Papo
This “Snorlax” tee from the homies is iconic. It’s been Papo’s IG PFP for the longest, so it’s dope to see the design finally come to life. This is a must grab for me, imma wear the hell out of this joint.
REACH Sport🏕💯🙌🏼
These “REACH Deportes” pieces scream REACH Sport to me. I really mess with that “Brazil” color way on the tee. That long sleeve in the red and black is a vibe for sure, but with spring and summer on the way jit might be to hot. Def have my eyes on that “Brazil” joint though.
This “Stay Sane” long sleeve is one of them ones. From the hands signifying the brand on the arms, to the graffiti esque font on the front. I mess with how they only used red and black, rather than adding in hits of white.
ShutUpStopSnitching
By far my favorite piece in the whole collection is the Mickey inspired “Shut Up, Stop Snitching”. I feel this is a movement everyone can get behind, so if you don’t by it for the graphic, you gotta respect the message. The tee comes in white and black color ways. The black piece is a must.
All of these pieces will be available in the shop from whatever remains from the pop up. From Tampa to LA, the homies from REACH are definitely on top of their game, dropping some of my favorite pieces we have seen from REACH to date. Everything Is Made In REACH.
After a stay in LA, Vinny Virgø returns home on “Thank You For The Inconvenience”, sharing his experiences from the West Coast over the past few years.
🏕💯 ♍️
The project starts off with “Real World (intro)”. A very introspective track, I dig the somber melancholic beat provided by pigsonvinyl, which allows you to fully grasp what Vinny is putting down. Despite a couple road blocks, Vinny takes the good with every inconvenience that comes his way. This track works like a prologue for the project.
On “These Days” Vinny describes his struggle with trying to do good has him talking more with God on which path to take. The beat really kicks in around the mid way point with some really heavenly backing vocals. The interlude that follows the track gives Vinny some perspective on what good his music really brings to the world.
“Skin Tone” takes a look at race and how the color of your skin plays a role in your social climb. I really dig the bass that makes up most of the beat. Really solid track.
“Coming For Me” is one of my favorite joints off the album. The wonky futuristic beat from pigsonvinyl sets up a really dope soundscape for Vinny to play in. The demons are coming for Vinny but he is strong enough to over come it.
“Peak” featuring Rukhsana Merrise has my heart. Big west coast vibes on this one. I dig the feel good vibes of the track, as well as the vocals from Merrise are a highlight. Definitely need to check out more of her work.
“Bayside/30 Seconds To Mars” his a very dope track. The way the beat starts off on the “Bayside” portion with the mesh of fast and chopped and screwed elements creates a dope juxtaposition. Things slow down on the later half of the track, with a really chilled out beat.
“Juxtaposition” featuring Mick Jenkins is jazzy as hell. All the Bucs references from Vinny show that even in his West Coast state of mind it’s still Tampa Bay all day. Mick Jenkins was a solid feature, nice to see him on the album. Brady on the boat vibes.
“Dame Dash” is on some DOOM shit. Hands down my favorite beat on the project, and possibly my favorite hook. We need a video for this joint, I see a lot of potential.
“Feel a Way” is a nice change up stylistically on the project. Vinny’s vocals are really strong, you can really feel the emotion. The psychedic guitar on the beat bring it all together.
“When I’m Awake” has some really dope airy production. I could see this track being featured in a Netflix show or in a film. Vinny’s approached to the vocals was very unexpected, but it fit the track well.
“That’s Life (interlude)” is a vibe for sure. Vinny transports the listener to the “Coco Bongo”.
Vinny is no slouch when it comes to the bars and “Dreams” is proof. The melancholic beat is more uplifting than somber, it’s actually quite epic. One of my favorite tracks on the album. Don’t let people kill your dreams.
“Bones” slows things back down with some hard hitting drums. The backing vocals on the beat are really solid. The haunting elements behind the production create a surreal soundscape. Vinny’s passion for music is so strong he can feel it in his bones.
“Sideways” refers back to the intro track, with Vinny reflecting on self love. I really dig the message of this record. I like how every song has a purpose on this album, with it all connecting from the beginning to the end.
Coming back to the “Coco Bongo”, the track feels like a bonus joint, with Vinny even stating, “This the bonus scene after the credits”. Crazy bar fest on this one, I really dig all the film references. We need the next album to be a concept about the “Coco Bongo” and the people that work there. Great way to end out the project.
Vinny Virgø came back to Tampa Bay strong with this “Thank You For The Inconvenience”. The concept and themes touched on are not really being highlighted nowadays, especially the self love aspect. I hope to see some visuals for the project drop soon to tie it all together. Vinny is one of the first Tampa artists I started covering on the site, so really dope to see his growth.
With the highly anticipated “Black Alchemist” album dropping on 2/22/22, Onlyonetwo continues to dabble with the elements on “Air EP”.
🏕💯🌊🌪
Out of all the element projects so far I feel “Air” is the most hit friendly installment of the series. That’s not to say the other ones don’t have hits on em, it’s just every track on this project I could hear on the radio or in some sort of mainstream context. But since Two is such a versatile artist they don’t come off as forced or gimmicky, it’s all fire.
The project starts off with “Blinded Soul”. The guitar rift on the beat has sort of an Australian instrumentation vibe to it. In the track Two describes his blinded love for a woman that doesn’t really share the same love. Two’s track dealing with love and troubled relationships always come off as very relatable, Two’s loved it so he’s just sharing his own experiences.
“South Side Baby” is destined to become a 727 Classic. I could easily see this being played around the city on repeat. Brett Phillips needs this to be his walk out music at some Rays games this year, on some big 727 shit. The accompanying visuals for this track really put it over the top.
“Eazy” snuck up on me. That opening line and hook will get stuck in your head for days, randomly having you like “Give the bitch payback”. I could definitely see this in “Madden” or some sports commercial, bro got something special on his hands with this joint. Again bro understand stands the importance of having visuals for your songs, with the “Eazy” video taking the song to another realm.
If “Fire” and “Earth” didn’t have you hype for “Black Alchemist” than “Air” will seal the deal. Not sure what sound Onlyonetwo is going for on the next project, but I can assure you it will change the game.
The enigmatic Goth Sport Online, unleashes it’s first drop onto the world with this brand new “Team 666” warm up tee and the super limited “Oversized Uniform” hoodie.
🏕💯⚰️Power of the pentagram
The purple and red color way on the front of the tee has a “Black Sabbith” vibe to it that is very on brand, not necessarily in the font choice but color choice. That Goth Sport logo featured on the back to the tee let’s everyone know your reppin “GSI”. An ad campaign or commercial would be really dope for this drop.
🏕💯😈
This one is a statement piece right here. Not something that personally fits in my wardrobe but I love the look and vibe of this piece. I could definitely see a couple of my favorite artists rocking this on stage or for a photo shoot. The first piece to unveil the “Hell On Earth” collection, I am sure these will go quick once the full drop is released.
I am not to familiar with Goth Sport Online, but I really dig the vibe they are putting down. There is definitely a place for them in the Florida/ Tampa Bay Scene, so I am for sure looking for big things out of the brand in 2022.
