Here it is folks. The new Murs & 9th Wonder album entitled Sweet Lord. The duo has finally released their latest installment in the series and this time it is for FREE. You can visit their website and download it today. [fresh]
The rumors are looking more and more like reality. A credible MacDailyNews source says we can expect a sort of “MacBook touch” in October. Here’s the details:
Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion’s haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at “low” price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.
With all the hype surrounding The Dark Knight I knew there would be some cool swag coming out. This is my favorite so far. Medicom Toy will be releasing a twin pack of be@rbrick and kubrick sets featuring Batman and the Joker. The toys take design inspirations from the movie with the “Why So Serious” slogan and Batman’s newly improved suit.
And I thought Mes had too many shoes. If you’re looking to step your shoe game up, wear a size 10, and have 30 grand laying around, hit up this ebay auction. Up for grabs are 250 pairs ranging from SBs, Jordans, AF1s, and everything else in between. So far 36 bids have been made on this auction and the current highest bid is $25,100. The reserve has still not been met.
Go watch the Dark Knight movie right now. Even if you have already seen it, you need to go see it again. This movie is absolutely amazing. Just go.
Murs and 9th are at it again. Today the first track from Sweet Lord, the third album featuring Murs and 9th Wonder has been put out for free online. The whole album will be available for free soon but for now, enjoy the intro track. Download here.

This Saturday, July 19, marks the ninth annual Art for Life benefit hosted by the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. The organization was founded by the three Simmons brothers — hip-hop mogul Russell, Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons of the pioneering rap group Run-DMC, and visual artist Danny Simmons - as an outgrowth of their personal experience of overcoming adversity through music and art, and their passionate desire to help artists and young people who face the same struggle. Shepard Fairey has donated his original OBAMA HOPE piece to be auctioned off at this highly anticipated event. This piece is approximately 4×6 foot in size and its a mixed media stencil collage on paper. It may be the only fine art piece of this image available to the public. So if you catch yourself in the East Hamptons this weekend, stop by at the Simmons Estate and bid on a historic piece of art.
