Braggin' Rites Open Mic Emcee Battle/Open Bboy Battle in BROOKLYN 01/09/10



Braggin Rites is having this event on January 9th at 2 in the afternoon at Public Assembly, located in Brooklyn. Braggin Rites was a very popular event a couple years ago, before they stopped due to losing their venue. It's good to see that they're back, because I was pretty young when they were happening, so I really couldn't make it. I know that they're a good hip hop event and you should wear a hot hip hop shirt or hoodie like the ones Branded Baron offers.

Here is the info from one of the top people at Braggin' Rites:

"Here it is again my peoples....Braggin' Rites Battles is poppin' off January 9th at 2 in the afternoon at Public Assembly located at 70 N 6th st Brooklyn, NY btwn Kent and Wythe sts.

For the uninitiated, Braggin' Rites is an open mic emcee battle/open entry break battle. Started in 1997 in NYC we stopped the show in 2003 after losing our venue, and are now getting back to it.

I know not all of you may be in NYC at the moment, I just want to make sure the word gets out despite your location. Those that are in the area, I hope to see you there.

Music Download: Daniel Joseph- "Lebron 2010" (Branded Baron Exclusive)


Can we kick it? ........Can we kick it? ....The answer is definitely a yes. Here's an exclusive song from New Jersey's own Daniel Joseph. This emcee is already preparing to release his new mixtape "Gone Fishin". He released his album "Pretty/Ugly" back in November. It's insane how he is already ready to release something new. We both agreed that long gone are the days where you can have an album out and not have to make something new until a year or a couple months later. I guess that's what happens in the iPod generation and it's all good, because there's more good music coming out.

Daniel Joseph was able to hook Branded Baron with an exclusive track off his mixtape entitled "Lebron 2010". It's a nice track to give you wanting more and you'll know why when you hear it. Branded Baron V.P., Anthony have something common with Daniel Joseph, because they're both Knicks fans. Lebron in NY, I'm saying it's a pipe dream, but the track is hot. Oh yea, there's a hidden discount code too. Listen to the track and try to hold horses until his mixtape "Gone Fishin" to release soon. Expect to see a picture of him wearing some BB gear too.

Music Download: The Gem-N-I's "These Aren't Our Beats" MIxtape


This is the latest music release from The Gem-N-I and of course it's free to download. The only downside is that Brigantti is the main producer of the duo and they're using beats already used by someone else. They want to showcase they can make hot songs with anybody's instrumentals, so hence the title of this mixtape. They do a pretty good job and it's not a large mixtape either.
Go download it and listen.

"Holiday" is the code to get 15% off your entire Branded Baron order


Whether you're still a last minute Christmas shopper or not there is a 15% discount code off the entire order, which is "Holiday". Originally it was for fans on Facebook, followers on Twitter, and those on the Branded Baron newsletter, but it's available to all. Type that code at checkout.

This code will expire 1/4/09. Maybe you're wondering why that late, since Christmas is over. Well chances are you may receive some money on Christmas and want to spend it on something. Why not spend it on some cool, comfortable apparel like Branded Baron?

NOTE: If you order today, tomorrow, or Tuesday (12/20, 12/21,12/22) you should be able to receive your order by Christmas eve, unless you're outside the United States and on the West Coast.

Winter New York Dunk XChange Recap

Saturday, Dec. 19th was the day of another New York Dunk XChange. It was held in Crash Mansion down on Bowery Street in the lower east side on a cold day. It was expected to snow, so I wasn't sure how many people were going to come out. I had a table with my boys Jamal and C.J. who were selling their kicks, so it was good to give some people a choice of some apparel to rock with their new dunks, jordans, or what have you. Thanks to those two for showing love and supporting Branded Baron. I was running late, so I had Jamal bring in my bucket of Branded Baron gear inside, while I went to go get parking. I knew it was going to snow and I figured it'd be best to go to a lot, then be stuck in the snow later on. As I'm setting up and Jamal wanted to pay for a beanie I realized I forgot the key to my cashbox in the car with the lot. FAIL. I know it was, but luckily my girl was there to the rescue and went to go get the key, so I can just set up and be ready to sell. If Anthony was able to make it, I would've gone and had him set up, but he had car problems that needed to be taken care of, which prevented him from coming through. I brought the Branded Baron banner, but Crash Mansion had their own name decoration on the wall which prevented me putting it up, so I improvised and put the sweatshirts up and even the "Stunningly Fresh" tee later on. There were two floors and we were in the lower level or first floor by the stage. DJ Jack Da Ripper was playing some good hip hop and I felt it just added to the environment. Only downside is the table we were at was right next to the speaker, so my ears are shot, especially my left ear since that was closer to the speaker.

It was a chilly chill event, I definitely networked, met new people, sold some items, and had fun which is key. Fun is very important...same as sales, but it's hard to gain a bunch when you look like you're miserable. It was cool to see Chase, a Black Flag Shoppe intern selling his shirts with his crew at the event. Check out his line Forever Dope . I believe he's still in high school, so that's good he's starting out in high school, I know I wish I did. I know my interest started back then, but anyways. I also met the lovely Dessarae from Fly Kickz who's a definitely talented custom designer. She definitely knows how to customize some sneakers with he artistic ability. She had a couple samples of the hand painted sneakers she worked on and she was selling some of her sexy posters. Maybe you'll see a pair of custom limited edition Branded Baron dunks in the future. Maybe I'll have to get more than one, because I know I'll end up rocking it. I chatted up with the people of DIrty Jax Clothing for bit, they are cool with Jay Wise and designed his shirts. I chatted up with Mello of Kick Game Dvd who filmed my rocking my dunks that matched my "Listen To Your Heart" shirt. That dvd should be out in 2010, so be on the look out for that. Plus, I was glad to meet people who came up to the table and purchased some Branded Baron apparel. It definitely feels great when people buy your stuff and it feels like the hard work is being rewarded. The Astrohop hoodie is definitely a fan favorite, but there were other shirts sold too. I have some photos of a couple people who bought some stuff. I was happy I didn't pack up early otherwise I would've lost a sale. It was near the end and everyone was winding down, most of the tables on the floor I was at were gone, but the guy came through and bought. I honestly thought he wasn't interested at first, just another person scoping out what everyone has, but I'm glad that he came back and bought. I definitely hope everyone loves the Branded Baron apparel they now own. They're definitely "Stunningly Fresh."

I like the New York Dunk XChange and would love to come through and do it again. The back to back experiences I had were cool.(To read about the first experience Click Here I'm glad the snowstorm didn't hit hard when I left, because originally the Jay Wise Cd release party was still happening, but it's now being rescheduled. I have to thank Jamal, CJ, and Tiff for helping out. I hope to do it again, so expect to see me and other Branded Baron supporters there and at other events.
Stay No Less Than Stunningly Fresh,
Joe

Shout out to "TheBandAidz" and "BeASneakerEater" blogs



Shout out to the blogs Thebandaidz(http://thebandaidz.com/) and BeASneakerEater(http://beasneakereater.blogspot.com/) for showing love to Branded Baron by spreading the word about the new winter line. Both blogs are geared towards music and fashion, just Thebandaidz focusing on more indie music and more genres than the hip hop oriented BeASneakerEater. Both blogs post interesting videos, music, and fashion topics and I definitely recommend checking those two out.

Fun Antics at the Branded Baron Photoshoot


No matter what it is, there has to be fun when working with Branded Baron. All the photoshoots have been so much and everyone seems to be in a good mood, which makes everything run much smoother. Everyone is usually crack jokes and this time the "fist pump" makes it's debut with Branded Baron. Daft Punk is played in the background for the whole winter line shoot and it has everyone there dancing. I'd like to thank model Danette and rapper Jay WIse for their participation for the photoshoot. I have to thank Daniel Canohttp://www.danielcanophoto.com for his great photography skills, because he captures the vision of Branded Baron pretty damn well. Also, thanks to his assistant for helping him out, which helped us out.
Anyway here are some little entertaining videos to show what went on while the models made love to the camera. lol Yea that was corny, but oh well. I chuckled.

Jay Wise Foolish Things Video

Yes, it's like this blog is Jay Wise blog, but it's not. Branded Baron shows a tremendous amount of support and we'll do the same to Zodiac and The Gem-N-I when they're projects are released. Here is the music video to the single of Jay Wise's debut album "Fresh". Right now you can listen to the remix with his group the Corp Cartel on the "Pre-Fresh" mixtape.
Branded Baron was still planning on its release, so Jay Wise wasn't rocking any of the apparel. I was asked to send in a couple of designs for the music video, so I came up with a couple diamonds, speakers, and a couple other items which were used. I was also featured as one of the three experts/scientists(I'm the freshest one haha). Enjoy this video, it's a hot song and fun one that I feel was captured on camera.

Astrohop Hoodie to be released on Dec. 6th


Hey Everyone,
Since we know that the weather is getting colder, it is only right to reveal another item that will be released on December 6th. The Astrohop design has been one of Branded Baron's fan favorites and we knew before it was released that it was going to go on a hoodie. This is no doubt a "Stunningly Fresh" design and it has the Branded Baron logo in a spaced out design on the left chest. It's cozy and I loving wearing it, so I'm looking forward to have this available to the world.

Branded Baron Banner and Quick Zodiac Guitar Riff Videos

Hey EVERYBODY! I hope everyone is doing well and had a great weekend. Here's just two little random videos from Branded Baron. Next time you see Branded Baron at an event you will see this huge banner to let you know we're in the building!. Thanks to Branded Baron supporter Frankie for printing the vinyl banner. It came out looking really good. Don't mind the grimey look by me, I've just been hard a work, but hey I still kept it Stunningly Fresh. The other video is a clip from Branded Baron's new video segment "20 questions." I went over to interview Zodiac's frontman Nick Fargo for his 20 questions and I just happened to take a quick shot of him playing a guitar riff of a Zodiac song. Look to see his 20 question interview as well as Jay Wise's interview for Branded Baron soon.

Daniel Joseph's Music Video "Fly On Paper"

Here's a music video from New Jersey hip hop artist Daniel Joseph's debut album called "Fly on Paper." He recently released his debut album "Pretty/Ugly" and I recommend you checking him out. I've seen him perform at an event where I was showing support for Black Flag Shoppe and picked up a cd from him. Little did I know that a couple months later he'd be dropping his album.(You can purchase it here http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/store/detail.asp?=Daniel-Joseph-Syah-PrettyUgly-High-Water-Music&UPC=HWM012CD) He's an emcee/rapper worth listening to and support, because he has skills and the music is entertaining and the beats remind of that boom bap sound.

Here's the video. Check it out, I like the grimeyness and dark feel. It just feels hip hop....at least to me.




For more on Daniel Joseph check out his myspace http://www.myspace.com/daniel-joseph
Who knows maybe in the future you'll see him rocking a Branded Baron t-shirt or hoodie.

Stay Stunningly Fresh,

Jay Wise Foolish Things Video Behind The Scenes

By now, it's no secret that we're promote and sponsor hip hop artist Jay Wise and here's a little video of the behind the scenes of the making of his music video "Foolish Things." Hopefully it will be released soon, since it was done some time ago. It doesn't matter when it was made, because the best part of timeless music is you can play anytime and it still sounds "fresh"(get it? No? It was Jay Wise's first single "Fresh") His pre debut album project, "The Pre-Fresh" will be out really soon. Check out for the Branded Baron shout out lyric on the Intro.
Anyway enjoy the video. You can spot me in the back of someone's interview for about two seconds. They didn't record the behind the scenes of the "nerd/expert/scientist" scene I was a part of, but that doesn't have to stop you from watching it. Anthony has seen it and he wants our artist to show the world the video. It's a nice little view of the music video pre-special effects. This music video looks good and has a fun vibe that I hope the public sees soon.

Stay Stunningly Fresh,
Joe

We won't bombard you everyday with e-mails, we'll send out e-mails that have important Branded Baron info.
Stay Stunningly Fresh,

Joe

T-shirt Gun...Giving everyone who's shot at a t-shirt(VIDEO)

I've seen this video before and it was entertaining. I figured I'd share this. It would be cool if anyone who purchases a shirt or wins a free shirt gets shot at and the new shirt is automatically on them. After that you wouldn't have to wait for another day to rock the shirt, because you look good immediately. I think most companies would want one. Enjoy this little video,

A little late Happy Halloween


So here are two videos with myself and Anthony and I. The one with Anthony may be hard to hear or understand, because it was spontaneous. We were at 21+ party, so we couldn't go crazy showing the place. He was a gangster and I'm a JOEker. Get it? haha lol I juggle for you! Of course I'm wearing the Black Lion shirt that we offer underneath my costume. Here's some stuff for you. Oh and one more thing...it's already been decided between Anthony and I that the items we release for next halloween will be ridiculously hot.




You can barely see us.

Video of New Branded Baron Shirts "Stunningly Fresh" Sneak Peek

I wanted to post a quick video of the latest design that is going to be released by Branded Baron. As you may know and if you don't it's quite shocking, but we like everything to be "Stunningly Fresh". It's the phrase we coined where everything is top notch, high quality, hotter than hot, cooler than cool, more amazing than spiderman(the amazing spiderman just in case you didn't know), classier than ballroom dancing, very crisp, you get the idea. I know I should've shown the longsleeve better, but you'll see in no time. I'll post a visual for you soon. When will the tees be available? Good question. Very soon. The shirts will be available, before we release any of our winter stuff. Keep an eye out...or both of them.

Jay Wise's "The Pre-Fresh Mixtape" Cover


As you know, Jay Wise is a hip hop that Branded Baron sponsors and promotes, so it's no surprise that we should give you guys a glimpse of what the cover of his new mixtape looks like. The "Pre-Fresh" mixtape is preparing the listeners what Jay's album "Fresh" will have. I've heard the first track of the cd and it's a good song. I won't be able to give away that song, but the mixtape will be available as a free download. I will definitely let you know when that is available, but in the meantime you can check out the previous songs by him and if you purchased a shirt then you can listen to that exclusive cd. The Pre-Fresh mixtape by Jay Wise coming soon!

Event This Friday Has Been Cancelled

The event at the Canteen located in Pier 17 of the South Street Seaport has been cancelled. Originally we were told we can throw the event there, but the owners of the building do not want this event to go down, because they do not want it to be a rock club or rave. I do not know what they fear or think is going to happen, but like I mentioned before Branded Baron was not going to have an event that would be wild and crazy with people causing ruckus. It's a shame when contracts were signed and the week of the event it was cancelled when it has been heavily promoted. Roadblocks like this will occur, we're going to move on and find a better venue that can provide what we were looking to do. We'll continue providing you with quality shirts and other apparel(soon to be announced). We still to plan have great events, some being music showcases of singers, hip hop artists, and rock bands of the finest caliber. I do know that there is an art show in the next couple months that Branded Baron will cosponsor.

So keep your eyes open, the event may happen next Thursday if everything works out or we may just reschedule where we have a celebration for releasing our winter items. Maybe we'll do both? Hmmm you never know. This unfortunate incident may turn out better for us. I know a bunch of people are disappointed and some are mad at the owners of the south street seaport, but it's okay we're going to bring you something great. I'm already smiling, because I have a couple tricks up my sleeve to make any event we have especially our first a fun and memorable one.

P.S. Here's a little promo code for your next Branded Baron purchase. Next time use the discount code "nutty" to get 10% off your entire order.

Glimpse of photoshoot this past Sunday


Last Sunday, Branded Baron had a photoshoot for our products, some of our advertising, and to post around the site. I want to thank Leyana and Nick of Zodiac for helping us out. The two pictures are literally just a tiny glimpse of the fun time we had getting our Zoolander on.(Yes, I did some, Anthony no.) The raw photos look amazing and they were taken by Daniel Cano from http://www.danielcanophoto.com I highly recommend him for your photoshoots. I'll post them up when they're ready, even the other photoshoot with Jay Wise and The Gem-N-I.
