Dyeing So Pretty

After dropping a few 1 of 1 pieces for the Marino Infantry family, Hunts Fabrications drops his first official 1 of 1 dye collection available in REACH.

It’s all in the details, each piece comes with a Hunts Fabrications size tag, and for those that don’t pick up in store they will receive their piece in a tagged up package by the man himself. I have felt the shirts in store and can honestly say these are some of the best quality Tye Dye pieces I’ve ever seen, no flimsy shit over here bruh.

My favorite piece in the entire collection and the one I plan on picking up for myself is the “Smoker” piece. Since the collection is separated by size I’m mostly looking for the XL pieces but still this gotta be my favorite. At the bottom left there is almost like a Diamond/Crystal vibe going on.

Despite being sold already I just had to show love to this piece. The hits of pink and yellow on the “Dahlia Flower” piece remind me of Japanese water color paintings. Not sure how Hunt does it with the patterns but some aspects of the piece look like pellets from a flower.

Despite not being in my size this piece goes so brazy. I dig the color scheme of this brining in that Darth Maul/ Sith inspiration. In the middle section it almost looks like a row of faces, adding to the spooky vibe.

Hunt snapped on this “Eroding Ice” piece. The ice shards at the top of the shirt set the tone for the entire piece. The hits of green around the color add in this earthy tone, almost combing with the ice color to form a dirt brown.

Although it’s sold out I just had to highlight the “Rotting Dragonfruit” piece. The entire pink shirt represents the dragon fruit, while the small touches of green and orange add this rotting esthetic to the piece, almost as if the shirt itself is rotting.

I am telling y’all some people might make just regular tye dye pieces but the Hunts Fabrications turned this shit into an art. I would highly recommend picking up one of these pieces before they are gone either online or in store at REACH. Hit the homie up for customs as well, cause we all know 1 of 1s are for the GOATs. Not sure what Hunt has cooked up for the next collection but you already know it’s gonna be nothing but statement pieces.

Support FLA Hip Hop Part 2

The High Tolerance Ent family did it again, putting on one of the dopest shows I’ve seen in a minute, bringing FLA Hip Hop legend Robb Bank$ to Tampa Bay!

Like I said on Episode 4 of the “Bonfire Podcast” with Raggy, I’ve been a fan of Robb since I was a Jit so I was gonna pull up to the show regardless. Robb’s set was brazy, he went all over the venue, jumping into the crowd and perching up on the stage. He didn’t play to many deep cuts but as long as he played “430 Kuban Doll” I was gonna be straight. It was really dope Robb showed love to everyone after the show on some set shit.

To honor the anniversary of X’s death the homies DJ Skum, Sunny Fritz, and baewxlff did a really dope tribute to Jah, playing only his songs as well has from the Members Only collective. Tampa definitely showed love and honored a FLA legend, the whole crowd threw an X up.

I wasn’t to familiar with Trapland Pat prior to the show but he was pretty dope. He is definitely on some Broward County/ South FlA Hip Hop shit, so you know we gonna support over here on the West Side of the state.

The homie 38bucci had a really solid set as well, playing one of my favorite songs by “Elastic”. Lil UK went brazy during his set as well, having probably the most energetic stage presence I have seen in awhile, homie definitely knows how to rock a crowd.

My bruthers from REACH also pulled up to do a small pop up selling their latest 3 Year Anniversary collection, as well as an exclusive 2nd capsule of the “Testament” collection in a red and black color way. The homies did a small pop up for Robb earlier in the day at the store, with Robb pulling up to show love to the Bay Area.

These High Tolerance shows are definitely worth the drive across the bridge no bap! Fingers cross for that 727 show one day, I’ll bring the whole city out for that bitch. Can’t wait for the next show in August, I know for sure some of the homies from the burg will be in the building.

727 Classics Review: Onlyonetwo- 222

With his upcoming performance at The Factory for their Juneteenth event, I had to finally give Onlyonetwo’s album “222”, the 727 classic treatment that it deserves.

Onlyonetwo has been grinding in the 727 scene for a minute now as well as having ties to Orlando and Atlanta. I love his ability to have melodic catchy songs without coming off as corny or tired. That’s not to say he’s a slouch when it comes to the bars cause he can definitely hold his own with the best.

The intro track “All On Me” is on some inspirational shit. At the end of the day it really is all on you to get what you need done. The hard hitting beat goes really well with the melodic hook.

One of my favorite tracks from Onlyonetwo is “Square One”, this track just makes you wanna stay hungry no matter how much success comes your way. Onlyonetwo always has an anthem or two on his projects and this is for sure one of those.

“Awful” is a little bit more slowed down and melodic but the atmospheric beat goes great with the spacey ad libs. Onlyonetwo also changes up his flow several times on the track which is always a dope touch.

“Luv Deez Heaux” is just on some dope southern hip hop shit. Once again Onlyonetwo doesn’t miss when it comes to hooks. It was really dope to see him use the more melodic flow on this track. This one is definitely for all the OGs.

“Chosen Few” featuring Kevin Cossom his another one of those bangers. The way Onlyonetwo goes from using autotune to just his original vocals was a nice touch, making his verse sound more melodic. Jit been on grind mode foreal.

My favorite Onlyonetwo track of all time is “Been Fair”, I love the hook and the Ric Flair reference. The beat is very futuristic trap sounding, which fits Onlyonetwo’s style to a tee. I love how aggressive he starts off the second verse. This is a must for him to perform at any show.

“Sam Kassel (Fluuu)” is a classic at this point. If he starts the show with this joint the whole city is going to go nuts. Not many people can make a dope basketball themed song and not come off corny but if someone is gonna do it it’s Onlyonetwo. Check out the video as well.

I would highly recommend checking out this album, as well has his “Fire EP”. I know the other 2 EPs in the trilogy are on the way, as well as a new album. Big shout out to Wrecka and the rest of the $€VAW WAV€$ family.

FLA Underground Hip Hop Classics: Robb Bank$- C2 Death Of My Teenage

After releasing his debut classic mixtape “Calendars” a heavily “Cloud Rap” inspired project, Robb Bank$ faced backlash from certain fans on his next two projects “Tha City” and “Year Of The Savage” for straying away from the “Cloud Rap” style. On “C2: Death Of My Teenage” makes it clear to his haters that “Calendars” is in fact dead and we on some FLA shit now.

I’ve been rocking with Robb since I was a Jit. I stumbled on him because the track “Counting” off “Calendars” features the “Gorilla” beat from the immortal Clams Casino project “Rainforest EP”. Clams is my favorite producer so I would just scour the internet looking for people using his beats. At the time I was disappointed that Robb never went back to that sound but pretty much since he’s been linked up with Nuri his shit has been the blueprint for the FLA Underground.

“C2” starts off with “Bett” which at the time was released as a single. This track is so ahead of its time with everyone saying Bet or Bett nowadays. Off rips Robb is like we ain’t doing none of the “Cloud Rap” shit.

“Byrds Flying” featuring Los Hosale is one of my fav tracks on the project. The hook with Robb and Hosale going back and forth is what really makes it. Hosale kind of sounds like Sir Michael Rocks who is also a frequent collaborator with Robb.

“Come Down Pt 3 (interlude)” sounds like it was about to be a banger but Robb chimes in just to let everyone know once and for all that “Calendars” is dead.

Nuri really went brazy on the production and just style of this project. A sample from Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Closer” pops up on a couple tracks on the project, creating a dope through line for the project. “Defined” is a play on Robb’s previous tracks “Finer” and “Fine$t”. The shout out from XXXTENTACION at the end of the track adds so much to the project, brining together the big Broward County/ South FLA vibe of the project.

“Get it B4 I Die (Guess Who)” is on a little bit more of a lighter vibe than the previous tracks. Robb’s choppy flow is really solid on this track and shows his versatility.

My favorite track on the project is “Holiday” featuring the reoccurring sample I mentioned before. Robb just sounds so confident on this track. FLA Underground Hip Hop sometimes feels like your chilling in the underworld but on an island and this track totally captures that vibe.

“Innadat” featuring X is a FLA/ Broward County classic. For many this was their first time hearing X on a track, setting the landscape of South Florida Hip Hop.

Another favorite of mine is “It Wasn’t Me” a play on his father Shaggy’s hit song of the same title. The hook will get stuck in your head off rips, having a Jit jumping around singing “It Wasn’t Me”.

Back on some lighter vibes Robb hits us with “Nikki” a track for the ladies. Robb is always able to make some tracks for the ladies without coming off corny.

“Stunt-Man” has Robb back on that hype shit. I really mess with his energy and flow on this track especially after the slowness of the previous track. This one will have you stuntin on everyone.

“Transporter” featuring Scooby Santana will have you feeling like Jason Statham. It’s brazy how Robb and Scooby are able to match up with the beat as far as their flow speed goes.

The album closes out with another track for the ladies on “Watuwant”. After back to back hard hitting tracks this was a great way to close out the project.

As of now “C2” is my favorite Robb Bank$ project. The Godfather of Underground FLA Hip Hop has continued his dominance on the scene for years after the release of this project and will continue to do so for many years to come. “Falconia” coming soon.

The Ultimate FLA Statement Piece: The Restock

With the “Cigar City Champions” fitted popping up in Orlando and other parts of FLA, it was only right for the homies at REACH to do a restock just in time for the 3 Year Anniversary of the brand.

This brand new “Barney Purple” color way might be my favorite drop of the “Cigar City Champions” series so far, it’s neck and neck with the “Icy Blue” color way. The 10th Anniversary Devil Rays patch instead of the usual Florida Lotto patch, was a nice change up.

The green and purple brim editions of the “Cigar City Champions” fitted are also restocking so grab those up now, you never know when they will go out of print! Jit put his money where his mouth is and picked up the entire collection, so the fitted is gonna her plenty of shine in the 727, who knows the purple one might even pop up on a special episode of the “Bonfire Podcast”. Everything is Made In REACH.

REACH Denim

After dabbling with some custom 1 of 1 jeans in the past as seen on Smokepurrp, the homies at REACH unveiled their newest take on the Levi.

Recently I’ve been trying to get my denim and pant game up so when they dropped these I had to show them love. Usually known for the brand signature red coloring, I love when they dabble with other colors, the slime green gives the R a whole new life. Whenever they make the distressing look like demon claws scratched them up, it adds the signature REACH flavor to what otherwise would be just some generic Levi’s.

They have dabbled with the green on denim in the past but I feel this is their best outing and a definite statement piece for sure. Everything is Made In REACH!

Sandstorm Chasers

After a successful first collection with the “Storm Chase” capsule, the Before The Storm crew is taking things out west with the “Life In The Desert” collection.

Described as a collection documented By Laurent Waldron, Chad Pearson, and Raheem Fitzgerald, when all three members of BTS come together they are on some “Voltron” type shit. The out west vibe I feel relates to Laurent’s time living in New Mexico, where he is originally from. To me the scorpion is almost synonymous with Abstract Poet’s brand “ Narcotics Half Off” aka “NHO”, making appearances in many of his pieces. Chad dropped some of the dopest jeans I have ever seen with his “patch work Levi” collection as apart of Concealed United, so the Cargo pants tie into that theme.

A trucker hat of that BTS logo would slide

The capsule is made up of the “Life In The Desert” t shirts accompanied by a desert sand colored Cargo pant. Off rips you know any BTS t shirt is a must, from the quality of the fabrics, to the originality of the print a BTS shirt allows anyone to become a “Storm Chaser”. I am trying to enhance my pant game so I definitely have my eye on those Cargos.

This is a great follow up capsule to Before The Storms inaugural drop, and I personally will be picking up each piece in the collection. So pull up to the BTS Studio at The Factory St.Pete to pick up some dope product as well as have some amazing conversations.

Hail Hyrda

In honor of their 3 Year Anniversary, the homies at REACH are hitting us with the nostalgic vibes for the “Hyrda” t shirt drop.

The capsule includes a 3 headed “Maleficent Dragon” inspired design on three different color ways white, black, and my personal favorite Rich Teal. When the homies first hinted at doing a 3 headed dragon design for the 3 years I had no clue they where gonna flip a Disney classic on its head.

For me this capsule perfectly captures that vintage Disney shirt vibe while still staying true to the REACH brand. That Rich Teal color way is straight out of the nineties boy!!! I remember having this big stuffed version of the dragon on the shirt so you know Jit picking up all three color ways.

It’s really amazing everything the homies at REACH have accomplished in such a short time. It’s only up from here, I am really hype to see what else they have in the works for the entire 3 Year collection, you know Jit always gonna support everything made in REACH.

Journey Through The Stargate.

The Cybermonk Robert Gallardo takes us on a musical odyssey through the Stargate on “before the algorithm ep”.

Music is art and being creatives why limit ourselves to only one medium. It was always a treat when Rob G would pull up on a Local Muzik track or whenever I discover one of his rvre artifacts on YouTube, most notably the classic “Honcho”. I love how versatile Rob can be on a track, he can go from some flexing shit like “DONDADA” to a more experimental vibe on “computer games (no scrubs)”.

The collection of songs on “before the algorithm ep” are ones Rob made while crafting his debut album “Algorithm And Blues”. The vocal style Rob used on the first track “Needed You” (Prod. by Tape$) vibe well with the intergalactic beat, not coming off corny at all. The $lugged out ending of the track was a really dope touch.

“Where We Goin’?” (Prod. by Yung Aug), is a straight vibe. This that shit you can just ride out to, full blast in the Grey Civic. The storytelling on this track is so vivid, I would love to see what Rob would bring to a concept album.

My favorite song on the EP is “TYPE” (Prod. by jxpvtty). Big funky vibes on this one mane. It was really dope how he sprinkled in some West Coast shit on the project. This track is just really fun.

“Questions” (Prod. by Osaka) starts off with some really dope melodic vocals before going into one of my favorite flows Rob G has ever came through with. The slow pace allows the listener to take in everything Rob is saying, and when the Cybermonk talks the Grey Children listen.

Overall this is a really dope collection of tracks, all with very different styles, but still feeling very cohesive. I am not sure when “Algorithm And Blues” is dropping but you can bet the Grey Children and everyone else in the 727 are gonna run it up heavy. Rob’s music is just another example of how Rob G inspires me and my fellow creatives that we don’t have to be boxed into one medium or lane. We are the Grey Children!

Foam Firepower

The team over at Balaclava Boys as been hard at work producing an arsenal of fire arm plushies made for any Jit to carry.

With prices and sizes ranging from $15 to $150 there is a piece for everyone. The plushies are multipurpose being able to be used in the field as well as for style. The homie Niiks already rocked a few of these exclusive pieces in his video for “Color Blind”.

Also now available on the site are some exclusive 1 of 1 bags. My favorite has got to be the Arch bag, on some high art shit. The studio exclusive “Bandito Packs” might be my favorite bag in the entire line. Y’all any ready for that Prx Jit collab on that $Grey bandito, cause you know 1 of 1s are for the GOATS!

With the “Cowboy Party” happening this weekend I couldn’t think of a better time to pick up some gear on the site to rock at the function.
