Every rapping pothead plans to drop an “exclusive” on 4.20 but Spitta Andretti’s one of the best known for firing up the dope and Covert Coup will most likely be the only release of substance today. Complete with production duties handled by Alchemist and a handful of features, it’s free so “spend the bucks on buds” as advised and leave stoner music to the man who knows it best.

Philly Freezer is coming out hard as a mutha-shut-yo-mouth-only-talking-bout-Shaft this summer with his Diamond Supply Co. conspired project, Diamond In The Ruff. Let his track record tell it, Freeway can basically do no wrong, so on the heels on this high-octane, raw porkchopped exhibition, keep your expectations high because Free takes pride in coming correct.

“Dear Summer, I know you gon’ miss me, For we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees…” — Jay-Z’s — “Dear Summer”

“Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair/Cause basketball courts in the Summer got girls there.” — The Fresh Prince — “Summer Time”

When Hip-Hop fans think of hot weather, anthems like “Dear Summer” or “Summertime” end up on most people’s list. The Summer has a bond with fresh gear and the lyrics can back up that argument. But why is that? The artist formerly known as the “Fresh Prince” knew the deal: scantily clad summer bunnies motivate dudes to look sharp. So for the Summer edition, I brought in founder of online lifestyle magazine CtotheJL, Chris Lee, to give his suggestions.

Just a bit of advice before we move forward – Do not, I repeat, DO NOT wear shorts that rest above the knee. Yes, guys wear more fitting clothes lately but this does not apply to shorts. You don’t want to look like Magic Johnson in ’79 bro – not a good look.

And with that we can move forward…

HATS
1. Diamond Supply Co. Mesh Camo Trucker
2. Mighty Healthy Varsity New Era Fitted Cap
3. Diamond Supply Co. x Maybach Music Fitted Cap
4. Supreme 5 Panel Bandanna Print Cap
5. Crooks & Castles Fedora
6. 10.Deep King of Gears New Era Fitted Cap

My favorite is the Diamond Supply Co. x Maybach Music Group fitted. It had the internet going nuts a few weeks back and is a sure sell out. Who’s really fuckin’ with Ricky Ross?

TEES
1. Diamond Supply Co. Colder Than Ice
2. Crooks & Castles V-Neck
3. Diamond Supply Co. Rise and Shine
4. Mighty Healthy Cold Getting Dumb
5. 10.Deep Gears & Whiskey

10 Deep’s summer ’09 collection was really strong, their tees were executed perfectly. But I have to admit, I copped a few of the Diamond Supply Co. Summer ’09 tees & they’re straight fire.

WOVENS/JACKETS/LIGHTWEIGHT HOODIES/CREWS
1. Amongst Friends Gingham Shirt
2. 10.Deep Kissena Jacket
3. Diamond Supply Co. “Un-Polo” Hoodie
4. Diamond Supply Co. x Alchemist Crew
5. 10.Deep Triple Bogey Shirt
6. Amongst Friends AF Only Coat

Diamond Supply Co. and Alchemist are teaming up for a tee and crew neck hoodie release. The Alchemist crew neck is definitely my favorite piece from this section.

SHORTS
1. Amongst Friends Chino Shorts
2. Diamond Supply Co. Fatigue Shorts
3. 10.Deep AFI Cargo Shorts
4. 10.Deep Basic Check Short

Out of all of them, my favorite piece has to be Read the rest of this entry »
