Whats good F.A.D.E.D family? Here we have a new colorway in the Air Griffey line by Nike. The new colorway is the grey-teal version of Ken Griffey Jr. most famous signature shoe. Personally I dont have a pair, but these are a must cop; i have to stop sleeping on my shoe game.

2009 is almost over but while its still here Nike/Griffey are going out with this bang. '09 was a good year for this shoe; it made in the top 30 shoes of '09 on www.sneakernews.com and obviously you can see why.

It is official…earlier today, rapper T.I. was released from prison and sent to a halfway house in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Steve Sadow, who is T.I.P’s attorney, confirmed the news today. Here is a statement regarding his release from prison to the halfway house.

“He was released this morning from his place of incarceration in Arkansas. As I understand it, he’s on his way back to the Atlanta area. He has to report to a halfway house in Atlanta sometime this evening. And he will then spend somewhere between the next two or three months in a halfway house, ending his Bureau of Prison sentence.”

Here is his statement on the circumstances that T.I. will be placed under…

 “A halfway house is more along the lines of a residential dormitory.  You live within this house that is broken into areas for living, and you are permitted to leave during the day for certain reasons of which would be employment, medical reasons, things of that nature, and you return to the halfway house in the evening. So it’s a restriction on your liberty but it’s a way for you to reenter into society and not be confined within a jail type institution 24-hours a day.”

T.I.P. has been serving time since May 26th for possession of unregistered firearms.  He was sentenced to just under a year in Arkansas’ Forrest City Prison.  He is expected to complete his time in March 2010.

Welcome back T.I.P.

Alright You FABOLOUS fans, I know most of you are still listening to Loso’s Way and I feel you on that, I’m doing the same. Fabolous has announced that he will drop a new mixtape on Christmas Day hosted by DJ Drama. I know you remember the last mixtape when they collaborated—the finished product was There is no Competition. Well be prepared to hear There Is No Competition Part 2: The Funeral Service.  Loso told MTV…

“‘There is nobody that can compete with me. Death to the competition. That’s why it’s called The Funeral Service. Everything is themed around that. That’s why it’s kind of dark. Each song plays into that.”

There is no Competition was a prominent mixtape that appealed to many ears and when Loso’s Way released the hype even built on Fabolous’s reputation.  So truthfully I wouldn’t be surprised if his mixtape becomes the talk of the music industry for a moment. I’m not saying that Fabolous is the best rapper that ever lived but that his reputation perceives him and his mixtape is predicted to be a top choice to listen to.

This audio manifesto maybe a little old...
Ok! 2.5 years old but Wale still goes in. This track was originally supposed to be the intro to his album Attention Deficit. The DC producer Osinachi, is the man behind “Nike Boots” and helped him create this great piece of musical art. His talent is apparent and proves to me that he worth listening to. DMV Stand up because Wale is pushing to be big.


Stay F.A.D.E.D!!

Here is the official commercial for the release of Lil' Wayne's Rebirth album which is set to drop on February 1st.  It might be a little too late for this promo due to the fact that mostly everybody has the leaked copy now...

Ok so here’s the story…

Nike has decided to celebrate Christmas with their latest MVPuppets commercials.  Blitzen (the reindeer) challenges Lebron James, Kobe Bryant and Santa to the court after he antagonizes them in his freestyle.  Played by Lupe Fiasco, Blitzen goes in on them and has stirred up some tension between both sides.  But Santa (KRS ONE) bites back with his bars and puts the homie Blitzen in his place.  In the last video, Team Santa (Lebron, Kobe, Santa) show whose boss by embarrassingly dunking on each member of tem Blitzen.  What else would you expect though? Don’t think just because Lupe was on Team Blitzen meant that they wouldn’t be humiliated by an all star lineup.  Hell, even Kobe and Bron went in with a brief freestyle after they embarrssed Team Blitzen.

Look at all the videos following the jump!

"The game is over, the game is over!"

For their 30th anniversary, Lacoste Eyewear design director Christophe Pillet has reissued their memorable 101 aviator-style glasses. The difference from the originals is a cleaner debossing of the green alligator logo on the arms and the packaging was redone with a green rubber case. 

Each box comes with a certificate card with the serial number of the frames.

These are now up for grabs stores including colette, Dover Street Market and 10 Corso Como, but the supply is limited to only 1000 pair.

More images after the jump.
