Beat 2012 Documentary Olympics Trailer

Coke Olympics, 'Beat 2012 Documentary Trailer' from Somesuch & Co. on Vimeo.


Mark Ronson teamed up with Coke to create song comprised of sounds from athletes competing in the Olympics. This trailer gives you a behind the scenes of the production side to making this video. I think this is a pretty cool concept and thought this needed to be shared.

DJ B-Fine's "Some Dance 2011" Mix

It's Friday, so you know what that means, some people are going to party like rockstars while others party like Charlie Sheen. If you do neither, that's cool too. Either way here's a mix from Dj B-Fine. I actually graduated high school with Brian (in case you were wondering what the "B" stood for) and thought it was cool that he's a DJ. I'm personally not shocked that he's djing and think it fits him. Some people you know they're going to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, djs, etc. I like this mix of his and thought it needed to be shared. It could start your weekend or help you get through your Friday workday before you kick back and relax, so enjoy the mix by Dj B-Fine!

Year of the Space Monkey Party

I met photographer Vanissa W. Chan at the Brooklyn Hip Hop festival and we've been in contact. She contacted me to see if I wanted to sell Branded Baron apparel at this upcoming party, which celebrates her birthday. I was down for it, so this Saturday come out to Brooklyn, party, and pick up some Branded Baron apparel. Oh there's a very positive chance that there will be some new items available for sale. I think it's going to be fun and I'm positive that's what the result is going to be.

Address:

118 Cortelyou Road
Brooklyn, NY

Time: 10pm-4am (I doubt that I will be selling all night)

Photo of the Day: DJ KYS rocking the Listen To Your Heart Hoodie

It's hoodie season officially. Today is the first day of Autumn, so the photo of the day should be one with someone rocking a hoodie. Here is DJ KYS rocking the Listen To Your Heart Hoodie He has to be sweating in the club while wearing this hoodie, because clubs are ridiculously hot.

Photo of the day: DJ spinning w/ Branded Baron tee

DJ Alex Edge was rocking the Listen To Your Heart t-shirt at the White Train event. It definitely caught me off guard when I saw the dj wearing it. It was so unexpected and cool. More info on White Train's event and them selling Branded Baron on their site later. This photo was taken by Joel John.

DJ rocking Branded Baron at NYC Club Pacha

Since it is Music Monday, why not post a picture of a Branded Baron supporter who's a DJ that's rocking a Branded Baron shirt. He's even rocking a Branded Baron button! Gian Martorella was tearing it up at the New York City club, Pacha this past Friday and he was doing it no less than stunningly fresh. Is there any other way? Of course not. You can listen to Gian's "The Summer Vocal" Mix here: http://soundcloud.com/gian-sound-cloud/the-vocal-mix

Our one designer Danette Oberg killed it with the design and the shirt is amazing. Pick one up, before they're gone!

Women's V-neck(They're only a few v-neck's left.

Shout out Gian for supporting!

Raw Flava Bboy Battle w/ Hip Hop performances Recap

Last night an American culture was alive and well and by that I mean Hip Hop. The Bboy competition Raw Flava, sponsored by Gravity Skills & Black Flag Shoppe brought out Bboys and Bgirls from New York, Jersey, and Philly. It was great to see everyone killin it and I would've loved to show everyone my skills and collect the $500 prize, but I won't battle for anything less than a mill.....or maybe it's because I suck and can barely do anything from the 6step. There were cyphers everywhere, so everywhere you turned all you saw was somebody breakin. Since I felt awkward for even just nodding my head, I was stuck in my Bboy pose filming and taking pictures of everything around me. I caught only a decent amount of pictures and took a bunch of clips of video that my camera died before the semi-finals. I know I missed capturing some good footage of the battles, but sometimes you need to step back and watch the talent.

I was chillin by Black Flag's area wearing the "Stunningly Fresh" longsleeve(Click here to buy) while rocking the Astrohop hoodie(click here to buy), chillin, and chatting it up. New Branded Baron sponsored artist Daniel Joseph came through rocking the Carpe Diem sweatshirt(click here to buy) and he was performing. Jay Wise & Chaos the O.G. of the Corp Cartel came through to rock as well. One of the bboys Dmize lived on the same block as them in Washington Heights in the City, so they were rooting for him all the way. Unfortunately he ended up getting knocked out in the Semi-finals to finalist Atlas, but he did his damn thing. One disappointment that I had at the event was that there were Mcs there that came to rock, but those to did perform like Daniel Joseph, Jay Wise & Chaos, and Rasheed Chappelle, performed either 2 or 3 songs. Granted the main focus was the bboy battle, but I think there could've been a bit more love for the mcs. Hell they were performing and people were dancing to the songs, they might as well had the battle while they performed. Just a thought. So you had the DJ playing the music, you had the mcs performing, the bboys breaking, but where was the graffiti element? Well there were no writers tagging up the venue, but Black Flag was selling some spray cans, caps, and markers for those who bomb.

Overall it was a cool event, I'll make sure Branded Baron has a table to sell at the next event. Oh, Phantom beat Atlas in the finals of the battle. I personally disagree with the outcome and I'm not saying Phantom didn't win or wasn't good, but just in my eyes I saw differently. It was definitely a hot final to watch. Shout out to everyone who came through and I look forward to seeing more cool events.

Below I have some footage of bboy cyphers, battles, performances, and pictures of the event. I'll add more footage tomorrow.

Stay No Less Than Stunningly Fresh,
