Motivation.

Scott Sasso speaks on life before 10. Deep from 10 Deep on Vimeo.

This is Scott Sasso, the person behind the streetwear brand 10 Deep, based out of New York.

This guy came from writing graf and then onto making or creating a t-shirt brand that is now known throughout the world. This is a speech he gave at a high school in NY a couple of months back.

See...when you really want something and have a vision....things happen.

It's been a few weeks since news of Dash Snow's fatal night with the old H train was reported but Hypebeast put these photos up of the Deitch Projects memorial in NYC.  Pretty interesting look at Dash's life.

Downloadable/glorious/free Wants Vs Needs mix.

The first Wants Vs Needs was way back in June, dare I say when Summer was warm, and one of the giveaways was a mix-CD by myself and Espada. To keep the CD more exclusive I never put my mix on the web but all that's passed so here it goes.
