Exclusive Sweatshirts at Draft Picks

If you haven't seen the Facebook page you would have seen that Draft Picks has 2 exclusive sweatshirts at their store. Neither one is from the upcoming release entitled the Royal Rebellion Collection. It's not the first time there were exclusive colorways of Branded Baron designs. Yes, unfortunately if you do like what is there, but nowhere near the store you may not have the chance to own it. That's okay, because not every store that holds Branded Baron have or had our entire collection. I personally like to make sure some items are exclusive to everyone online. I want to make sure there are exclusives for everyone. The sweatshirts that Draft Picks has in stock are the Jersey Devil gray pullover hoodie and the "My Cool Club Is Cooler Than Yours" crewneck sweatshirt. If you like you can head over to them and buy one. I am quite excited for the new stuff, so keep an eye out for that.

Underground Skate Shop NOW SELLS Branded Baron!

One of my goals for this year was to get into more stores and Underground Skate Shop is the latest store to now have Branded Baron in stock. This is a very cool spot, because it has a huge choice of skate decks as well clothes, plus there's a nice flat screen tv to chill and play some video games. The owner, Mark is a good dude and he'll definitely be there help you out if you need it. If you ever just chill at any store and chat it up, everyone always has a story or two. Mark may be a badass skater, but he also was killer dj and still designs turntable parts. How many people skate and dj?

Anyway you can pick up some t-shirts, crewnecks, and stickers at Underground Skate Shop.

Album: Twelve Jazzy, Housey, Lounge Jointz

If you guys have listened to Raw Radio, you would have heard of one of the hosts was Larry "Il Lusciato" Krayn. Some may not know that he is a musical artist from New Jersey. Maybe you'll be shock he usually releases hip hop albums, but that is not what he only creates. He has always produced jazz influenced beats and he decided to take it a bit further. This is an instrumental album that he always wanted to do and worked on it on and off from 2004. There are no samples only original instrumentation.

Larry had to say this about his album, "I believe any true musician should start expanding and showcasing different styles and genre's. This type of experimental/electro-jazz music is something I've always enjoyed doing and I'm glad that the final collection has become so widely available."

Now we both know that this isn't going to be everybody's cup of tea, but I think you can appreciate the creativity and originality. I spoke to Larry yesterday and we both agreed that an artist should always continue to grow. So you can purchase this album at iTunes for $10 or grab a song that you like for $0.99. It's good that iTunes has long previews, just in case you are unsure about the music, but I like the music.  Listen/Buy here: View In iTunes

Larry "Il Lusciato" is a Branded Baron supporter and has a couple of shirts and sweatshirts.

Jersey Devil Preview

Here's the preview of the upcoming Jersey Devil design. It's Halloween next month, so why not have our own Weird NJ legend as a design. It also goes great for any of New Jersey hockey fans. What do you think? We'll have previews up soon.

BBOY Battle, MC Battle, & Performances FEB 27th!

Click on the picture to enlarge

Yes, yes y'all! There's a bboy competition and mc competition in Clifton, NJ sponsored by Black Flag Shoppe(You can shop there in person to buy some Branded Baron apparel). I'm a fan of bboying or breaking or breakdancing as well as a good emcee battle. Hopefully there will be some strong competition to entertain everyone and I know there will be some good performances by a bunch of artists like Daniel Joseph and possibly Jay Wise. Branded Baron will probably not be selling at this event, just hanging out and supporting the Hip Hop culture. I know, I know, but if you want to buy something there and in person, I'll have some items on me. This is definitely a great place to rock any of our shirts or hoodies. Maybe you want an Astrohop hoodie or tee. Check this event out.

Stay No Less Than Stunningly Fresh,

Promo at the beach

It's important to promote as much as you can, especially when you're a new company. Being that Branded Baron will be launching in July(date soon to be released), no matter where I am, or my brother Rich, or Tone, and everyone who's part of the team, whether they are officially on or just helping, it's important that wearing the shirts and talking about it is key to gain interest. Since NJ/NY have been hit with a lot of rainy weather, when the weather changes for the better it is perfect to seize the opportunity. Since I'm on my way down to the beach, it's great to my Branded Baron shirt.Even if I'm may not be wearing it while I'm on the beach, but on the boardwalk everyone will be able to see it. It's crucial that people see it and even go out of my way to meet new people. I want people to start seeing my designs and getting used to seeing it and creating an interest.Wearing light colors on a beach that fits the summer mood is good, because they'll start affiliating the shirt with a beautiful day. It's one thing to wear a cool shirt and another to wear a cool shirt on a good day where you're reminded that the Branded Baron shirt brings fun times. I want people to have great experiences and if a Branded Baron shirt can help start the good experience by looking stunningly fresh then I'm happy.
