David: Congrats to Sarah Kjelleren!



Yesterday we had a huge storm sweep through the Vermont area. I lost power for about 30 minutes and completely lost a paper I was writing, but it's whatever.

Keep moving up and you know you're always TKFV family over here! Girls got the eye.

Gray: Kicks of the Week



This weeks "Kicks of the Week" are in so many ways a hugely impressive design from Generic Surplus for vendor selects. This plimsole features a minimalist design that is enhanced by its friendly price making it for a great addition for summer. The canvas upper with no detailing and combination of the white midsole and gum outsole completes the piece in my opinion.

For a closer look they are available over at Honeyee.Store

David: 50 Cent's Shocking Slim Down... DAMN



I know what you're probably thinking... Something along the lines of WTF. So I'll tell you right away before you start thinking anymore. These images appeared on Thisis50 and shows a slimmed down 50 for his role in the upcoming film, Things Fall Apart. In the movie, 50 plays a football player who has been diagnosed with cancer. He started off at a healthy size of 204 pounds and dropped down to 160 pounds with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill for nine weeks. The things celebrities do these days... Tough job. Check out some more images of the smaller 50 Cent below:

Gray: Throwback Whenever

Alright so this was a song I originally was going to use as a formal throwback vid, but David is beatin me to the punch each week (as usual), so I'm not waiting another week to throw this gold up.

Recently, on a turn with friends Amanda, Maura, and Vanni, Slow Jamz by Twista, Kanye, and Jamie Foxx came on. This has been playin a lot recently on my iTunes, and the video is pretty tight too.

David: Throwback Tuesdays!

Another Tuesday another Throwback video! This week is Gang Starr's song Mass Appeal off of their album Hard to Earn. For real I've played this song over 100 times in my iTunes playlist and it goes down as one of my favorite hip-hop tracks of all time. Unfortunately Guru, 1/2 of Gang Starr, just passed away last month at the age of 48 and was a huge hit to all of the music world. R.I.P. to one of the greatest. Check out the video below.

Gray: BATTLE AT THE BERRICS 3

Back at it is Back at the Berrics. For those who aren't with it, Battle at the Berrics is a contest The Berrics (Steve Berra and Eric Koston) put on (for now the 3rd time) where there is a 32 skater bracket, and a lot of games of S.K.A.T.E. Kids go onto The Berrics and make their bracket and submit them like they'd do for March Madness. Each game of skate is filmed and uploaded to their youtube, and kids watch to see who moves on to the next round. These videos are viewed a lot!! Some up t 200,000+ times. Check their videos at their private skatepark in LA. Only people who know Steve Berra and Eric Koston can really go there and skate, although their cell phone #s have leaked a bit.. we met some kids with it. Anyway, go make a bracket here and watch some of these berrics videos below.

Me and the man responsible for this work (who goes by the name PaperMonster) started talking just last week and he told me about his show, "PaperMonster Ate That Little Boy," which is coming up on Friday, July 2nd, at Vincent Michael Gallery located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The minute I took a look at his artwork I fell in love... for real I might need one of these for myself. To get more info on the event read the summary below:
“PaperMonster Ate That Little That Little Boy” is the latest titled of PaperMonster’s solo exhibition opening July 2nd in Philadelphia, PA at the Vincent Michael Gallery.

David: Rob Swift Concert (Recap)



Yeah yeah yeah I know it's been awhile since we've updated the blog, but we're back! Both been busy with a few things, but let me stop and get to the recap on the Rob Swift concert. For those that have been on the blog recently or have talked to me personally you probably know that DJ D-Cutz and myself (DJ D-Kid) opened up for Rob Swift last Thursday, May 20th, at Club Metronome in Burlington, Vermont. We got a really good response from the crowd and rocked our set, but when Rob Swift went up I'd just like to point out he's way too good lol. He made everything look way too easy. His cuts and his beat juggling is so clean. And at the same time he's one of the coolest and laid back guys I've met. Check out the video below to see footage of Rob Swift (this isn't from the concert on Thursday):



PS: The dude is juggling with his back... come on now

Gray: Throwback Tuesdays!

Below is A Tribe Called Quest's video for their song, Scenario. This track was the third single off of Tribe's second album, The Low End Theory, back in 1991. I think this video is funny because it features, then, Leaders of the New School member, Busta Rhymes looking about 10 times scrawnier than he is today lol. This is a classic for sure. Enjoy...

Gray: MURS at Higher Ground (5/15)


MURS was in Burlington this weekend, and I attended the show on Sunday. The place was empty, but what can you expect on a Sunday night. The openers Nocando and BurntMD were struggling with the lack of energy from the crowd (Nocando more than BurntMD), and were therefore pretty shitty to be honest. MURS killed it like always, and looked to be havin fun on stage. He stuck around in Burlington for a few days, and I heard of some kids kickin it with him on church street the day after the show. He is truly a down to earth guy who makes music for the love of it, and not for the money.Above is a picture of my homies VJ Wesley and Jordan Sparks gettin a pic with the man himself.

David: Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week!


Sarah Kjelleren

Here's Week 5 of the "Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week" series. This week we're switching it up a bit and showing you one of Sarah's scenic pictures. Always nice to see nature at it's finest in Vermont, and of course Sarah captures it perfectly showing off life and color as this bee draws closer to the group of flowers. Check out Sarah's summary and picture below:
"I went outside to capture a few images of the emerging summer and snapped a few of this honey bee. I took about twenty or so to try to get it in the right spot. I was following it around as it went to the different blossoms. I sent it into the local newspaper and it made the cover! Pretty exciting, I've had over ten images on the cover of the Islander and I will be having my photography shown at the Merchants bank in South Hero for the month of June, if anyone wants to check it out!"
