Cali Calls Callender

Cali Calls Callender: Going Away Party from slick jackson on Vimeo.


The party of all parties, you take Callender, Va$htie, & Dave Delzio & that's what you get.

Melo-x & Iron Lyon started the party off right & a surprise set from DJ Will Gates & Just Blaze sets kept the mood going.

Guest such as former BET 106&Park host AJ, Chris Rock, Mickey Factz, & the RZA to name a few were all in attendance to send me off to California just right.

This all was captured by the precise eye of Slick Jackson. Check it out

The Hundreds x LTD Mag.

This past Friday marked the opening of the brand new Hundreds store in SoHo. The LA based brand has decided to invade the East Coast with a new location that's worth writing home about. I was one of the few that was allowed to snap some photos inside the store and I must say, it's pretty impressive [head over to The Madbury Club to see some of the shots]. In celebration of this day, The Hundreds tamed up with LTD to have a bbq on the LTD rooftop, conveniently located around the corner. Luckily for us, the heavens were on our side and the rain held out. A lot of big names were in attendance including Hawaii Mike, Ben and Bobby Hundreds, the good brothers Phil Annand and Ellington [check out Phil's tee, serious ting], Ferris Bueller, Ray of Mighty Healthy, Ronnie Fieg, Mel D. Cole, 13th Whitness, and others. Fat shouts to Hawaii Mike for assembling the shindig. Check out some of the imagery...



















































































































A reminder from the Murphy Group family...just because today is Labor Day doesn't mean that summer is over. There are still warm days to be seized, sun to soaked up, bar-b-ques to be had, and life to be lived. Especially on a day like today. I ask politely for you to step away from the computer and get outside. I promise the new Jordans and latest Kanye track will still be there when you get back. Enjoy.

Cali Calls Callender.

As Mr. McFly mentioned in the last post, our brother, Callender, has left the greater New York City area for a new beginning on the Left Coast. Callender's mark on this so-called "scene" is one that will not be forgotten or easily replaced. He took youngins, like Marty and myself, and showed us the ropes, introduced us to new people, and made us feel comfortable above all else. I can't speak for Marty, but Callender's gotten me into places I otherwise wouldn't have been multiple times. For that I'm thankful. So good luck to you, sir. I wish you nothing short of the best in whatever endeavors are on your new path. I don't doubt that you'll make a name for yourself out in Cali, it's just what you do. At this point I'll stop with the babbling and proceed with some visuals from Saturday's happenings at Santos...

Bedwin x The HeartBreakers


Via High Snobiety

Following our look into visvim’s Black Sense Market collection, we follow up with another set of impressive pieces from Bedwin & The Heartbreakers. Continuing the all black theme, we’re met with two great looking varsities (one in all leather, the second a wool/leather blend), a football shirt and some 3/4 length Dickie’s pants. Of course all items are complete with Bedwin’s signature detailing. Back in Black.

I'll take the felt and leather one....Yesss

Dice's Birthday at B.East.

Whattup world? As Marty McFly Himself so graciously put it in the last post I'll be here to spice things up, bringing you visuals of all sorts and anything else that falls within the boundaries or appropriate. Hell, maybe some things that aren't exactly appropriate. None-the-less, I'm here to deliver goodness.

First up, some New York City shenanigans. This past Saturday our friend and extended Murphy Group family member, Dice, had a party at B.East to celebrate the anniversary of his birth. The spot got pretty live as characters of all sorts were in the building for the celebration. Liquor was on steady flow and everyone's favorite aroma hazed the air. I was in the mood to capture some of the madness that's guaranteed at an event of this sort. Here are some of the still from the night. Enjoy...
































































































Do you guys see how serious that suit is? No. Joke. There were good times to be had and we snatched 'em all up. Thanks to Dice for extending the invite and organizing that events that proceeded. As Mr. McFly said in the last post, check out my tumblr and follow me on twitter @vinnypicone. More to come in the near future, for sure. Until then, onwards and upwards...

NEW MUSIC: Marty - Flawless



As you all know, Marty's been hard at work on his much-anticipated Premiere Mixtape "The 25th Hour: New Jersey Drive" sited to drop Fall 2010. This is his second leak off of the project titled "Flawless"

" 'Flawless' is me just speaking my mind the best way I felt fit, and there's nothing wrong with that (a.k.a Flawless) I heard the beat when Raekwon got on it and was like..."Wow...I'm bout to take niggas to Science Class on this shit", So I freestyled a bit...wrote a bit...and boom. There it was." - Marty

Hennessy Paradis


Know your knowledge. Those of you that know me, Knows my great obsession for Hennessy. Here are one of the premier bottles of the Hennessy family, Hennessy Paradis. It would run you any where from $550.00 - $750.00's a bottle. You pay for the taste and yes in this case you can buy class!

A flamboyant cognac, Paradis is the fruit of successive blends that combine several hundred exceptional eaux-de-vie aged from 25 to 130 years.

From it’s birth, each precious eau-de-vie has been matured exclusively in old casks of Franch Limousin oak, freed of their most powerful tannins to allow the discreet scents of the oak to slowly mingle with the delicate finesse of the eaux-de-vie until they reach their fullness

GFCnewyork x Good Wood


Bang Bang it's a black apple thang! Do you have yours?

"Listen up hustlers if you still living, still grinding, still on the pursuit of being on top shining. The Black Apple represents you, the grind, the ambition that keeps dollar signs on your mind. From Hollywood to Harlem, B+ students working on A’s, rappers trying to sell their tape to cabbies riding around for days. From freelancer’s trying to get paid to barbers up early giving the whole block fades. The Black Apple is you, it’s us, it’s the past, present & future. GFCnewyork’s Kwasi & Ronin designed it in collaboration with GoodWood. The Black Apple piece embody’s all of us, so that we dream bigger & become legendary. For inquires contact Rico at pb.rico.ny@gmail.com. Hit the jump for more images."
