Riottt has been getting alot of worthy buzz in the last 24 hours with it’s out coming and the features it dropped, including the interview with legendary Haze. But I want to point you towards there Riottt TV section that has it’s first episode up with Flight Club NY hosted by Chris Vidal. Now I don’t know if it’s my slow ass laptop but the episode stops near the end, not finishing it up. The episode talks about the 1st Jordans, the limited 200 pair release of the Yo! MTV Raps Puma Clyde, also the Addidas Super Ape sta for all those super bape lovers out there. The show is great for anyone who likes kicks especially all those sneakerheads out there. Riotttvision has upcoming episodes with IRAK NY, MOB (Married to the Mob), Alife, and the Toy Group.

 

So ladies if you’re looking to do a crime but you want to still keep your flashy and sassy style instead of the normal  bland black outfit Antonio Reillo has got what you need. Reillo makes weapons desinged instyle for ladies, so you want that gun, but black and chrome aren’t really your colors, because they clash with your high lights you can always go with a more lively color like pink or gold. So for all my felony charged females out there and my gun totting purse wearing, high heel walking females out there, go out and get the right fit for you because nothing says style like a making gun.

Mike aka Duez, is now 22 and resides in Chicago. I did an interview with him about is line Pros and Cons last year when it first dropped and just started hitting the streets. Since then P & C has done a collabo with fellow Chicagoan Lupe Fiasco and has joined up with the Super Group the KDU. So P & C’s growth and future is looking really great and they got come great company to lend a hand. Being the first person to interview Mik and P & C last year, I figured I should be the one to catch up with him real quick to check in on the brand and it’s happenings. The original interview is under the me and mike’s recent chat up just in case you all were interested in what mike had to say last year about P & C.  So what’s next?

 

The great design site MocoLoco has done a wondeful interview with Stefan Boublil of TheApartment Creative Agency. The interview dwelled deeper into Stefan and TheApt’s designer side, than the interview conducted here at TTS. Enjoy the interview it’s a great read, and what else can you expect when 2 great like Moco and theApt hook up.

Interview with Stefan Boublil

The man is an artist, designer, architect, he’s just a very multi talented man, is pretty much the way you’d best decribe him. His works have graced so many magazines, it take me way too long to mention them all. Jantzen’s work is not even next level, he’s what the word creative was meant to be used for. His designs, are damn near undescribable, it’s more of a you have to see it for yourself type of effect. So enough of me talking, just look at some of Jantzen’s work and head over to his site for more.

 

Interview with M-A-K-R

I know last year there was this whole big buzz on the Pharrell can’t skate shirt that was out. I’m no skateboarder and don’t know pharrell to know if he can or can’t really skate, but him and chad have changed the face of hip hop, or aleast been able to mold it into various forms that weren’t able to be done in the past. I say pharrell is more at the for front because he’s more of the face you see, the one out there trying to get things off. Some how we got into a stage and mind set that rap was only considered real rap if you were talking about some gangsta shit, killing, selling drugs, making money, you know, keeping it to the streets. Which I love and can appreciate but not from everyone cause everyone aint gangasta, everyone can’t claim that title and just say they sold drugs cause it’ll sell. Now don’t get me wrong there have been other artist out there pushing the envelope without having to be gangsta 24/7 like Outkast, Little Brother, The Roots, etc. but pharrell was the first to bridge 2 worlds that are close but at the same time so far apart. The hip hop community with the skateboard community, when you think about it we are both one in the same a lot at times.

Is based out of Amsterdam and has been around since 1988 as an acrhitectural design company, who’s practice in varios infrasctructures has made them very prominant and sorta legendary in there works. UN which is headed by Ben van Berkel has done some amazing work over there years, working with private and public buildings bringing new life too each project. The studio has won numerous amounts of awards and have been in many publications, but you really just have to love some of the most recent projects they have now. UNStudio is definately a very unique group of architects.
