For today’s edition of Music Mondays, we bring you a banger off of our favorite Soundcloud account (you guessed it, AWGE Shit). Here’s “VLONE Thug” by Playboi Carti and UnoTheActivist.

The Twin Cities lost a real one yesterday. A creative-minded guy, a talented rapper, but above all a good, genuine person: Widikus.
Anyone in the Twin Cities hip-hop scene would tell you that Widikus was someone you looked to when you were in need of a dope rhyme or a good laugh. He was a friendly, outgoing guy, always quick with a smile and a dap. It was hard to be in a bad mood when he and the Left Life squad arrived at the function.
Although I haven’t known him that long personally, I always enjoyed the discussions we had at shows and the humorous back-and-forths that we engaged in on Twitter, and I’ll never forget when he and the Left Life crew tore the roof off at WAX back in November.
Adidas is killing it right now.
About a month ago, I wrote an article asking if anyone could slow their roll, and the last 30 continued to prove what the beginning of 2016 and pretty much all of 2015 told us: no, nobody could slow their roll.
It’s rare you see a brand get hot like this, and you’ve got to pay respect where respect is due. No matter how you feel about the brand, love them or hate them (I’ve got friends that fall on both sides of that spectrum), you can’t deny that Adidas has got the juice right now.
It’s March Madness time. Sure, the college hoops world is great, but so is this weekend’s release calendar. There’s all kinds of fire from what seems like every brand dropping, and it was about time for another edition of our infamous “Top 5 Sneaker Releases This Weekend” segment. Let’s get right into it.
Note: If the NMD Runners hadn’t released yesterday, they would have been #1 on the list. CRAZY shoe, but Thursday doesn’t count as the weekend (obviously), so they weren’t eligible.
It’s just past 11 PM. I’m sitting here thinking about style, fashion, and jawnz as I so often do. I’m thinking about what shirt goes the best with what jacket. I’m thinking about what denim looks the best with what kicks. I’m letting my mind wander with wonderful visions of crazy alphets and fire jawnz.
When I do this, I usually have revelations of some sort. Some are small, some are life-changing, and some are plain humorous. This one would fall in the third category: have you ever thought about how Target may have forever ruined the red tee & khakis fit?
It’s March in Minnesota, and the weather is out of control as usual.
It rained yesterday. It’s apparently going to be snowing tomorrow. It could be in the 60’s next week for all we know. The weather’s crazy, and you’re in need of a versatile pair of shoes. One that can get you through all of these conditions, stay clean, and still look fly. We’ve got you covered. Here’s 3 great all-weather shoes.
Adidas Tubular X
Kicking the list off is the Tubular X, a new model from Adidas that’s been a hit the past few months. The thick sole provides the traction and grip you need, while the high-top offers extra protection agains the elements. However, on the flip side, the lightweight upper and ample mesh on the toebox make the shoe breezy enough for warmer days as well. Versatility on ten.
You can sum up how 2016 is going in sneakers with one word: Yeezy.
We’re two months and change into the year, and from the first of January to the middle of March, all anyone has wanted to talk about is Yeezys. Hypebeasts thirst over them. High schoolers wonder why they can’t get them, and scour the internet for believable fake pairs. Haters scoff and turn their noses up at them (they’re probably just salty they can’t get a pair). The hype train has been incredibly real, and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down any time soon.
For today’s edition of Music Mondays, we bring you a joint off of Lil Yachty‘s recent mixtape “Lil Boat The Mixtape”. Here’s the “Minnesota” remix, featuring Quavo, Skippa Da Flippa, and Young Thug
