MaG - 'freedom.'

The simplest way for me to approach this is to say this; This is a really beautiful project.

I've been following MaG's music for just over a year now. The title track from this project was the first I ever heard from him and I was very much impressed with his sound. So impressed that I went to hear him live a few months later.

Here we are at the top of 2013 and the full project is finally out in the universe. 'freedom.' is really fine work. The overall tone is a somber one but it's full of energy. It's very clear that this was a well thought out product. The lyrics are highly conceptual and the music is full but not intrusive.

MaG reminds me of Gil Scott-Heron in ways. He's very poetic so fans of lyricism will really appreciate this project. See for yourself...

Only.NY x West Trunk Show

West sneaker boutique hosted Only.NY for the evening in a joint "trunk show".  This invite only event brought friends and fans of the Only.NY brand together to catch early sale of the summer line as well as some very limited early collection pieces. 

The crowd shopped, networked and cooled out over free Bud and Bud Light.  After throwing a few back, people took hold of some Krink pens and bombed the wooden Post No Bills sign in the store.  It was a ton of fun watching everyone go crazy.

Only has some really big things on the horizon that I'm not at liberty to share here, but definitely check out what they are doing.  You can check my previous post on the brand here.  Shop and view their lookbook at the official Only.NY site.

Madison was in the building as well taking in the festivities.  Be on the lookout for 'Test Launch' in the near future.  Dude has some seriously dope material in the works. 

Here are some other pics from the night.  Thanks a million to B.C. aka Sour Diesel for the invite.  Also special thanks to West for hosting a great event.  Last but most certainly not least, thank you to Mr. Anthony Landi.
