Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween, EVERYONE! I hope Frankenstorm Hurricane Sandy has not ruined your last couple of days so much, if you experienced it. Since, I had no power and just got it along with the internet, I am posting what I worked on offline. I figured I was going to be festive and productive, so here's what I worked on. If you're following me on instagram, then you've already ahead of the game. Make sure you follow @brandedbaron on instagram.

Here is my sketch layout:

Gamer 2.0 & Hawk shirts available



If you didn't know Gamer 2.0 & the new "Hawk" design is out for sale. Both are SUPER limited and some sizes are already sold out in the Gamer 2.0 shirts. For those that don't know, Gamer 2.0 is the second version of this design when Branded Baron first started, but it now has a few new tweaks. 

If you're wondering why I brought it back, well I'll tell you. I've been debating about bringing this design back for sometime and I decided it was a cool design that some new fans of the brand did not get a chance to see or purchase in the beginning. I slowly brought it back with the stickers and now the shirt. I released sneak peek on instagram (follow @brandedbaron on instagram) and it helped me with a decision that I was leaning to in printing this. 



Another design I was releasing little pictures through instagram was the "Hawk". I was just having fun one summer day and BAM, out came this design. I liked the yellows and browns, especially since it fits the fall season. Let's be fly and what is cool, a hawk, a predator looking for its prey. If you're on the lookout for something fresh and new, well this design fits it. 

I wanted to keep this very limited and let those who want it to pick one up while it's available, because it'll add more value to their purchase. I want to provide that extra awesomeness and these definitely will.

The Good Vibes Tour Brooklyn Recap



Hey, Everyone! I hope you're all good this evening. On Monday night I went to the Good Vibes Tour Brooklyn show and had a good time. Charmingly Ghetto gave me the heads up about the show last week and I decided to roll through to show support. I had a good time and was able to see some artists from Boston, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles. My friend Lori, from Cavata Clothing told me her friend/sponsored artist Natural was performing, so I thought it'll be another artist on the bill that I know to support.
   I arrived in the middle of Natural's set and saw him do his thing and the amount of people there for a show on a Monday night wasn't bad. I brought my camera to take some photos and record the performances of the show for the video recap that you see above. After Natural performed L.A.'s Radio rocked on stage with Shema Jones. The performance was cool and I gave my props after the show and I have the cd Radio gave me in my car. Charmingly Ghetto was next up and he did his thing and it's good to see him back in Brooklyn performing again. For those that don't know, C.G. performed back at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival by opening up the performances after winning the Show & Prove competition. He's a chill dude and definitely looking to find ways to always get better, when he asked for my feedback of his performance after the show. C.G. will definitely be a rapper that is earning his dues and someone you'll want to check out. Dutch Rebelle, another Boston rapper follow Charmingly Ghetto and she was fun to watch. Most of the people I've never seen or heard of and I have to keep an open mind, because I have no idea how good or bad anyone is going to be and Dutch Rebelle was good. She had good energy and interacted with the crowd and showed female rappers aren't garbage and can hang if not better with the male counterparts. The final set was Divine Scienze consisting of Scienze and King I Divine who just had a badass set. Once King I Divine started playing the first beat, it had everyone in the head bopping their head, then the Scienze just killed it. The performance was on point and brought the energy that you need in a live show. It was cool that their was a cypher in the middle of the set and it was party at the end with a Soul Train Line. Overall, I had a good time and I was glad I made it out to watch this show.
    I'm actually listening to the Good Vibes mix tape as I type this out and you may want to check it out, it's a free download or you can stream it, whatever you like. Click here to listen. You can listen to the following artists here:
