Video: Ryan Richards Shows Off His Sneaker Collection

June 28, 2011

I know there’s a lotta sneakerheads out there that check out Hoopsfix and I apologise for our lack of content on that front-but on that note, thought this may be of interest… A few weeks ago, as many of you know, I headed down to Kent to begin filming for a feature on Ryan Richards. [...]

Beatsfix: RéY, Josh Osho, Ms Dynamite & Maverick Sabre

May 31, 2011

By Jos Smart | @JosSmart Yes yes. So it’s been a quick couple of months since the last Beatsfix and I finally felt it time to break out another update. The pace things move on the internet these days, taking two months out of the ‘blogging’ game is as good as retiring at your peak, [...]

NBA A-Z DVD Review

April 6, 2011

By John Harris | @jhbasketball ‘The NBA: A-Z’ (affiliate link) is this year’s glimpse into the wackier side of the NBA. If you’re the kind of NBA fan who loves watching Shaq’s dance-offs, LeBron’s catalogue of pre-game goofs and fully-grown men dressed as animals throwing themselves off trampolines then you’ll love this DVD. At just [...]

March 28, 2011

By Jos Smart | @JosSmart Another week, another dose of music to add to your rotation.  Hopefully everyone had a minute to check out last week’s stand out mixtape, The Weeknd – House of Balloons (let’s be honest, Pusha T’s Fear of God didn’t match the hype).

Beats: Fat Joe ft. Raekwon ‘Pushing Keys’

February 25, 2011

Words by Jos Smart | @JosSmart As a rapper, you know you’ve reached a certain level when people want you on their track, not to rhyme, but just to bark coke laced boasts to close out a song. It’s a fairly niche service to offer but as long as you’re the expert then you’ll stay [...]

Beats: Tyler, The Creator – YONKERS

February 12, 2011

Words by Jos Smart | @JosSmart Eating a live cockroach. Vomiting. Nosebleeds. Bare chests. Multiple gold chains. Blacked out eye balls. Nooses. Suicide. Tube socks… and that’s just the video. Tyler, the Creator’s YONKERS is the lead single off his highly anticipated second album GOBLIN. Those aware of Tyler and the ODDFUTURE / OFWGKTA movement [...]

Beats: The Streets – Roof of Your Car

February 5, 2011

Words by Jos Smart | @JosSmart I remember the first time I heard The Streets. I was about 15 and after holding it down as a paperboy (wasteman) for a hot minute I took a huge career leap forward by becoming a kitchen porter (chefs bitch). Even as a teen I was on my grind. [...]
