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.
