Skateboard video by Branded Baron Apparel

So on Sunday, Underground Skate Shop hosted an event along with Shindig Skateboards to at Drop-In Skate Park in Hillburn, New York.  If you have never been there before, but want to go, it's not an easy place to spot, so keep your eyes open towards the factory buildings. Anyway, I came through to show support and spread Branded Baron by passing out Branded Baron stickers. I took some footage and I came up with this little shindig. The music is provided by Okwerdz. Enjoy.

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.

Rasheed Chappell "What I'm Here 4" feat. DJ Scratch

I first saw Rasheed Chappell perform about a year ago at a Black Flag event, actually I believe it was for the Haiti Help fundraiser, and I thought he had skills. I personally like his sound and it brings back the grittiness of Hip Hop that is needed again. I know he's not wearing a Branded Baron tee, but shout out to him for rocking the Marvin the Martian t-shirt. How many people really like Marvin the Martian?

Rasheed Chappell's debut album "Future Before Nostalgia" is slated to drop soon, produced entirely by Kenny Dope has already tagged as one of the most anticipated releases of 2011 by blogs, radio & Hip Hop fans. You know I wouldn't post this video if I didn't think it wasn't quality. Check it out. Follow Rasheed on twitter at twitter.com/rasheedchappell

Music Download- The Disco Fries "Party On"

Since the weather went cuckoo and decided to be warm this week in February, it had me looking forward to partying in the Spring and Summer. So, what better way to get your mind set for partying with a song called "Party On" produced by the Disco Fries featuring Honorebel. Honestly this makes me think of summer and want to party....and dance. I never say I want to dance, ever. So girls shake your booties and guys seal the deal.

I know today is a Friday and I plan on partying hard, so maybe this can help you while you pregame or be part of your mix for the evening. PARTY ON, GARTH...um wait That's Wayne's World and is not in the song. It should be. HA!

BUMP THIS. Download here http://snd.sc/ifWKNu

Hot Chicks Perform Street Fighter Ultra Combos

One of my favorite games when I was younger was Street Fighter 2 and I'd follow up on the sequels. This video uses the music and sound effects from one of the newer games with a combination of cool choreographed fights. I thought this was very well done, even letting some of the kicks clearly not hit the opponent slide. I really like the editing and choreography, it's cool. I give the "Stunningly Fresh" stamp of approval to the Thousand Pounds Team. Check it out.

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.

So, here's a snapshot of the music video shoot by the Corp Cartel. It's a bit hard to see, but Jay Wise(on the left) is rocking the Carpe Diem sweatshirt. I'm looking forward to seeing the music video to the song, "Higher", because it should be pretty damn good.

1 day 45% discount with coupon code "BIGFOOT"

The 12th was Strikeforce's MMA event "Fedor Vs. Silva", which was a really great night of fights. Since, I was rooting for the underdog for Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva to defeat Fedor Emelianenko and he won I decided to have a discount code. It was amazing to see Bigfoot defeat the world's greatest heavyweight MMA fighter, that I thought it had to show a response of respect. This is honoring the fact that ANYTHING is possible if you set your mind to it. I was at the event and there were tooons of Russians and everyone cheering Fedor, rightfully so, but this was not expected.

I took pictures and some video and will give a better detailed recap soon. In the meantime use the discount code "bigfoot" for 45% off your entire order at Branded Baron.

It was amazing, especially if you follow mixed martial arts. We can all achieve the unthinkable.

160 Greatest Arnold Schwarzenegger Quotes! LOL

I came across this and just had to post this. I found this too funny not to post, because we all know how diverse of an actor Arnold is. It's Not Suitable For Work due to some of the language, but enjoy.
