clockwise clothing is back at it again. first they took over DC, maryland, and VA with the essential "RUN DMV" tee, and now they’ve decided to show obama’s wifey a whole lotta love with the most crucial politically-influenced clothing item since this joint .
available in ALL sizes, several colors, and in styles for both men & women. i’d rock one of these joints (i’m like an XL, just for the record. ha.) any day. i’m calling it now: the "michelle rocks!" tee will blow the (#&* up across the country. so when you see it in Complex or on CNN, remember where you saw it first. oh, and did i mention that a percentage of the earnings go towards the obama / biden campaign? these guys struck gold here. and someone tell their models to holler at me, please.
the video dropped a while ago, and too many people slept on it, so i’m doing a re-up. where are those prince fans out there!? OH, SHEILA!!
need more marky in your life? pick up his mic boogie-mixed compilation, the drive-thru, and his latest WDMV: billboard top 10 (hops on current chart-topping singles for remixes) here.
did i ever tell you guys that the guy above was my landlord?
ok, let me explain. if you’ve ever seen the best show on TV, the wire, you’d know that gbenga akinnagbe (silent “g” in the first name) portrays chris partlow, arguably the craziest, most intense character in the show.
he’s like me. kinda. he’s from montgomery county, maryland. he grew up about 15 minutes from my house. he’s also nigerian, as i found out when he called me after replying to his craigslist ad for subletting an apartment. he started speaking to me in yoruba, because he knew my family was from that part of nigeria just by reading my name in an e-mail. when he discovered i didn’t know what the blood he was saying, he laughed and we got down to business. a week later, i was furnishing his extra large 4-bedroom jumpoff.
like i said, i found his apartment on craigslist. it was listed in washington heights, home of the haze/dominicans/arroz con pollo on every corner. 163 and broadway, man.
he was definitely a nice guy, although every time he asked for the rent, i almost shat my pants. why, you ask?
that’s why. try not paying the rent to that guy. your body will be floating in the mississippi river.
if anything, they enjoy it better than anybody other people. junkyard band shows up in maine, and puts on an incredible show for a snow white crowd! no black people in sight. i’ve been to maine, too. there really are no black people in sight. see if you can catch ol’ granny GETTIN’ it @ around :50 deep.
OH BOY! i’ve never seen a crowd so appreciative of the music. incredible. read the story about why a go-go band decided to go to maine here.
the last go-go i went to was at my school, and i saw a girl getting her ass rocked by her then-boyfriend. i’m talking about open-palmed smacks to the face, rick james style. i helped break up the fight, but the guy got a few swings in at everybody before he was escorted out by security and such. i KNOW there are people who were either there, or heard about this. the girl was really sexy, too! unfortunate. tell her i’ll treat her right if she needs me in her life. ha. all jokes aside though, it was reckless on homeboy’s part!
it was probably the craziest thing i’ve witnessed in my high school years. goodness. just an anecdote i wanted to share. thank my homie dani aka “sexy obama” for the video.
come on! with all the money the wizards are paying my main man, you woulda thought he could afford good health by now. my man ryne over at SLAM online told me that agent zero is gone til november december .
gilbert arenas confirmed that he underwent a surgical procedure this morning that “cleaned out some debris” in his left knee. arenas, who has undergone two surgeries to repair the left knee in the last two seasons, has been limited during the rehab process all summer and said he has planned all along on not participating in training camp or the preseason.
NO!!! and if that’s not bad enough, ryne ALSO tried to be slick in the comments section of his post, and say that the wizards are gonna get rocked in the first round of the playoffs, with or without gilbert arenas. i’m furious! go wiz. someone help gilbert out, though. i was trying to start a movement that would transform his name to trillbert , but at this rate, we might as well call him dilbert until he gets his act together. he is probably at home playing halo 3, like usual.
because i can. two up-and-coming artists who i think deserve more shine.
the 22-year old providence, RI resident recently praised all over hip hop forums and blogs (including a co-sign from lupe fiasco himself) gets busy over a beat that samples his own name. what better way to get the world to remember you, theo? off the birth, his newest mixtape that dropped on 8.8.08 via okayplayer, and has 10,000 DL’s to date. oh boy.

haven’t heard of a.b. yet? that’s fine. he’s a producer by trade, but that doesn’t stop him from putting out his own music. this synth-heavy ode to swag will have even the lamest dude feeling like superman when it comes to pulling chicks. the DC born and bred beatsmith is also responsible for his src/universal recording artist marky’s hit single, “sheila.” play this joint loud; your speakers will thank you.

DC’s own kenny burns started a vicious podcast known as the kenny burns show, and he just keeps it so funky and original that i needed to post this. he’s funny, too. tabi makes a bunch of appearances in the joint, too. i highly recommend watching this entire episode when you get a chance.
yerp. brought to you by the DMV music blog cartel, also known as StartOfTheLine (dylan), DCtoBC (yzr!), and KNOWxONE (ges). huge shout out to my fellow cartel members for helping put it all together, and another huge shout out to dylan for the incredible album art. hit the link(s) below to scoop it.
DJ alizay got some exclusive footage of wale and travis chopping it up. rumor has it, they are helping each other out for their new albums. look for both soon.
he’s grinding out there, harder than ever. look at the audio gem ricky sent me…
