diamond king sneak peek plus a lil more

aaite guys, before we get into this diamond king sneak peek, we want to take the time to give you guys a huge thank you for our support, and patience. thus far it has been a long hall, but its been exciting making things happen. we are sitting back waiting to get the giants tees, c.breezy crewneck (check out at www.cbreezy.com) and the card7 joints.  we are interested in getting a lot of stuff to you, just need you support. enjoy our store, give us feedback, good and bad suggestions, and everything, it all helps us. God bless each and everyone of you. we have a nice little line up coming for you in july as well. thank you, simply, thank you.


now as we were. they well anticipated "diamond king" sneek peek. the diamond king joint came about as i was working on another project. i was sitting there, like man this dont even suit the project im working on but its legit. it started out a lot more complex. those complex designs will most likely be stickers. but for now check out the "diamond king." the diamond king represents the grind. the eyes are in the shapes of gears, and as they grind hard, and the more pressure endured, you get diamonds. after all "cole under pressure makes diamonds." i think it was j.cole that said that. but back to the subject. once you see the diamonds, which are represented by the eyes, you now as the hood says, "want to eat." the terminology "eating" means seeing your fair share of the profits. this is why the diamond king has a diamond in his mouth. and women always flock to not only the diamonds, but the king himslef, which is why there is a lipstick kiss mark on his cheek. well there you have it. the diamond king.

we are not yet sure on the release date for the crewneck, but we are thinking of doing a package with this crew and the amber rose joint. feel free to add in your thoughts on color ways, and etc. the original color way is made to match the poseidon foamposites. =) keep it locked keeps those orders coming.

stay blessed, stay focused on your craft. support someone next to you, say something positive to someone everyday that you normally wouldnt even talk to. trust me it helps, thank God for all of success. hardwork dedication, prayers, and belief. but most of all always, "distinguish yourself from the rest."

the flawless victory promo crewneck sneek peak

this distinguish'd minds piece, is another poetic play on words. as a kid, we grew up playing mortal kombat in the 90's. before there was tekken, and all these new games like call of duty there were only two that mattered. street fighter, and the infamous mortal combat. when you played mortal kombat and won without getting hit once at all, the game would call out to you, "flawless victory." which was a distinguish'd feeling, the feeling of success. the crewneck sweatshirt says "flawless victory: life will always be a game of mortal kombat." seriously think about what that means. everything we want and need in this world relies on the decisions, and emotions of another. that is the concept of "mortal kombat." we must battle with mortals at all times to grind out and get what we want. at the end of the day the man who knows that life is all about the battle will be victorious if he can stay calm right?? cool heads prevail. when you wear this crewneck remember that you are so full of swagger that no one is touching your swag. use your finesse, and cool calm hipster attitude to acquire anything you want in this world, remain a distinguish'd mind, and no one can touch you, now thats a flawless victory. this a very simple design, but holds so much substance, get ready...

"flawless victory"

man confessed to the murder of tupac shakur in the 1994 shooting

A man has admitted to shooting rap star Tupac Shakur in 1994 after allegedly being paid $2,500 dollars by James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond inside Manhattan's Quad Studios in November of 1994.

Dexter Isaac, a former friend of Rosemond, is an inmate currently serving life in prison for murder, robbery and other offenses. 

Isaac came forward Wednesday (June 15th) with the information on the eve of what would be Tupac's 40th birthday. 

He confessed to his involvement in the November 30th, 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur to AllHipHop.com, after Jimmy Henchman identified him in a statement, relating to Henchman's indictment for dealing numerous kilos of cocaine. 

"I want to apologize to his family [Tupac Shakur] and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Jimmy Henchman]," Dexter Isaac told AllHipHop.com from prison. "I am trying to clean it up to give [Tupac and Biggie's] mothers some closure."

Henchman, who is currently on the run from Federal officials, claimed that Dexter Isaac, along with other incarcerated inmates were cooperating with the government in an investigation of his alleged drug dealing activities. 

"If the government is relying on informants like Winston “Winnie” Harris, a convicted drug dealer and Jamaican deportee, who came to me and motioned via hand signal that he was forced to wear a wire and begged me to skip town or Dexter Isaac who is serving life in prison plus 30 years, then I’m sure I will not be offered a fair trial,"Henchman said in a statement released to AllHipHop.com in May of 2011. 

Dexter Isaac told AllHipHop.com that he decided to confess to the robberies to prove Jimmy Henchman's involvement, in addition to clearing his conscious for the shooting. 

Isaac said he was comfortable going on record relating to the robbery and shooting, since the statute of limitations had expired. Legally, no one can be prosecuted for the assault at this time. 

Isaac was a lifelong friend of Jimmy Henchmen, who helped the former mogul set up his first company, Henchman Entertainment, in 1989. 

Isaac claims he never cooperated with the government in any investigation, and Jimmy Henchman's allegations infuriated him. 

Isaac, who is also from Brooklyn, has long been suspected of being involved in the Quad shooting of Tupac Shakur, along with an associate name Spencer "Scooter" Bowens, who is also serving a life sentence. 

According to the confession below, Dexter Isaac not only knows what happened to Tupac Shakur's jewelry, but he claims he is also in possession of the Hip-Hop star's chain that was taken during the altercation on that infamous night on November 7, 1994. 

The shooting on November 30th, was the start of a deadly feud that resulted in the murders of both Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. 

Their murders have never been solved. 

Isaac was indicted by the government in 1998 and was subsequently sentenced to life in prison for murder, robbery, fraud and witness intimidation charges

reaction:

 man what timing this guy has. on the dawn of what would have been tupac's 40th birthday comes this confession, and as much as i want to believe it for closure, it is hard to believe. maybe if this guy turns over the chain he claims he has, then we can be a little closer to believing him. what do you guys think?? let me know below.

but with all that said, God bless the soul and family of the late greatest, Tupac Amaru Shakur. there will never be another, and another should never attempt to be.

cyhi the prince drops a super banger mixtaped entitled "royal flush." he has a very similar line to the name on the end of j.coles mixtape where he said "royal flush to kiss my royal nuts." needless to say the guy is very nice with the mic, and is subject to making a very big name with himself from this mixtape.  the mixtape has 17 track of pure madness. go download and cop that thing, do not be left behind on g.o.o.d. music. i know yall liked the way i added that in there. lol.

now for the bad news. one of the most anticipated albums of the summer, leeked. big seans debut album finally famous leaked to the public late the other evening. this event was tragic to hip hop but an absolute  blessing to the fans who seemingly were inpatient with the release. i personally chose to not listen until i can buy the album, but i have heared that the album is absolute fire. cop the album on june 28th. and fans make sure even if you leeked it to still buy it. he is one of hip hop's most influential artists right now, and deserves every sell. this will be the album of the summer. i know it is worth the hype.

from then ill be looking forward to j.cole's album next, then lets see what we can get from frank ocean.

until next time always remember to "distinguish yourself from the rest." also check out our gear at the shop above. and if any of you artists took the time to read this, we would love to have you guys at the art expo.

last and the most important.. we will be doing a huge raffle. im we get 100 orders on the jordan release product, we will be giving away 1 pair of the actual jordan 7's, and 100 for the giants tees, we will be giving away a pair of tickets to the giants game..
