Pete Rock

25 02 2010

Peter Phillips (born June 21, 1970 in Bronx, New York), better known by his stage name Pete Rock, is an American record producer, DJ and rapper. He rose to prominence in the early 1990s as one half of the critically acclaimed group Pete Rock & CL Smooth. After the duo went their separate ways, Rock continued with a solo career that has garnered him worldwide respect, though little in the way of mainstream success. Along with groups such as Stetsasonic, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots and Gang Starr, Rock played a major role in the merging of elements from jazz into hip hop music (also known as jazz rap). He is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time, and is often mentioned alongside DJ Premier and RZA as one of the mainstays of 1990s East Coast hip hop production. Pete Rock is also the older brother and younger cousin, respectively, of rappers Grap Luva and Heavy D.

Gourmet Sedici White/Tan

25 02 2010

Gourmet’s Spring 2010 lineup has proven to be a breakout group, with releases like the Quindici and UNDFTD collaboration Quattro leading the way. We previewed this Sedicialongside another pair some time back and originally believed them to be tan. They are white, in fact, and can be purchased now at hanon.

White canvas is the choice material for this chukka-style sneaker. On the heel, tan Italian leather is sewn on for both support and as an accent for the upper. A white midsole in in place, with the “NFN” (Not For Nothing) branding appearing on the toe. It’s clear that Gourmet has come a long way from borrowing Jordan Brand’s designs.

Les Paul

1 02 2010

Lester William Polfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009)— known as

Les Paul — was an American jazz and country guitarist, songwriter and inventor. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which “made the sound of rock and roll possible”. He is credited with many recording innovations, including overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects, and multitrack recording.

His innovative talents extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many of the guitarists of the present day. He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s and they sold millions of records.

Among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is prominently named by the music museum on its website as an “architect” and a “key inductee” along with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed.
