These are a couple older mixtapes from Charles Hamilton and Kid Cudi that are worth a look.

First is It's Charles Hamilton. This mixtape is filled with some fresh tracks. "Nino del Inferno" is the rule book on how to use "Straight to Hell" by the Clash. "Negative Zero" is a fresh new look at a "hipster rap alt rock love/dont F^%* with me song." lol. We finally get to see a harder side of Hamilton on this one. Then, "Wonder" hits us with that "Dig" (Incubus) sample. Yea you read that right, a rapper samples an Incubus track. "Starchasers" also gets a nod on my favorites list. Dope nod to Nas' Illmatic with that cover.
Here is a bonus track: Hot Like The Blog -Charles Hamilton

Next up is Kid Cudi's A Kid Called Cudi. This tape dropped a while ago with the help of 10 Deep and Plain Pat and is still basically fueling Cudi's career. Regardless, this mixtape is dope. "Cudi Spazzin" is the single that initially gained the most recognition due to its sick hook. I am really digging "Is There Any Love?" feat. Wale/"Embrace The Martian"/ "Maui Wowie"/ "T.G.I.F." (same feel as "Cudi Spazzin"). Download both and you won't be dissapointed. See the full post...

New Lil' Wayne mixtape...

The Drought Is Over Pt. 6 [Click for download]Here it is. Lil' Wayne's The Drought Is Over pt. 6. It seems the general consensus was that Dedication 3 was not up to the usual Weezy standards, so let's hope this one goes over a little better. Only complaint I have is the way The Empire has that dude talk all over their shit..."Holy sh-(yeah, he actually censors himself), where'd you find this?!" Ricky already dropped "Red Magic" on you, now get the whole mixtape. Check the intro for his explanation of the whole Tha Carter III: The Rebirth/Tha Carter IV issue I posted about earlier.

"All about a dollar, fuck two quarters. Bitch I pour syrup in that Vitamin Water."
Wonder who inspired that...

Don't Mess With Beyonce

I know i have posted about this song too many times but one more should suffice. She recently performed "Single Ladies" at the AMA's and she demolished this performance. Pretty cool camera works as well.

Bow Wow x DJ Infamous: Half Man Half Dog Mixtape

Bow Wow has finally jumped into the mixtape game with Half Man Half Dog Vol.1. I have high hopes for this one. A couple of his most recent tracks have been pretty sick. Download some of his most recent stuff HERE. "On My Momma" is pretty ill. I hate to admit it but he puts some fresh rhymes together. Lets see where he goes with this one. I need some def music now that Lil' Wayne is falling off....sorry Wayne but the Dedication was lacking. Lets hope Drought is Over Pt.6 is dope. Ha ha, you know it'll be dope just check the first single "Red Magic".

p.s. Bow Wow please get off Soulja Boi's dick please. The guy is making money but he is so wack!
Props to him for being on Entourage though (one of the best shows out).

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport 2009

Oh yes...it is like that. Bugatti has made a one of a kind version of their monster, the Veyron. They call it the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. This beast was actually sold at this years Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The main modification for this model was the removable roof. That modification makes the Veyron Grand Sport the fastest roadster. Check out the details HERE. Love that color and the day running lights. See the full post...

C’N’C’ CoSTUME NATIONAL Autumn/Winter 2008

C’N’C’ CoSTUME NATIONAL's Autumn/Winter 2008 collection is here and I am really liking the direction. The line is very edgy even though they use very elegant, and in most cases, formal pieces. I would personally roll down the pant legs and get rid of the hobo handwarmers but that's just me. I love the shoes that the second model from the left is wearing and the vest that the model to the right of him is wearing as well. The rest of their line includes beautiful tuxedo jackets, scarves, pinstripe pants, and shirts. Check out the entire collection HERE.

St. Alfred New Eras

Chicago boutique St. Alfred produced some quality New Era caps as part of their Holiday 2008 collection. They made two check New Era caps with only a very small logo embroidery on the side and one black suede New Era cap with red satin lining. All three are now available.

The red satin lining on those black suedes is so hot. Come on RCO, pick these up.

Emporio Armani Diamond for Men

I have been debating if I should post about the new cologne from Emporio Armani, Diamond. Obviously I have decided to. You have probably seen the commercials with Josh Harnett but I personally vouch for this one. I love this cologne. The price tag, however, has vexed me for a long time now (approx $70/not sure what size but its the reg. one). I have had Emporios classic Aqua di Gio for a few years now but "recently" (6months ago..lol) I broke my bottle. I have had to search the virtually limitless amount of colognes out now. I have finally made my decision on Diamond. The classic, clean and mature feel of emporios colognes have left me no other option. Now all I need is a loan and I'll be all good.

Heres a little info on Diamond:
EA Diamonds for Men was created Jacques Cavallier of Firmenich. It contains gourmet-woody aromatic juicy, with an unusual gourmet reversal in the top notes. (OK??) The perfume opens with sparkling, sweet aromas of bergamot(roughly pear-shaped fragrant citrus fruit native to Southeastern Asia), with Guaiac(small, ornamental plants grown in Fl. and Ca.), vetiver (fixative), cedar, Szechuan pepper, cocoa and ambroxan(ambergris(fixative) replacement odorant in perfume manufacturing).
The bottle was designed by the man himself, Giorgio Armani.
The perfume is available on the market in the amount of 30, 50 and 75ml EDT, as 75 ml aftershave, 200 ml bath and 75 ml deo stick.
