From collaborating with key designers, throwing fresh parties, and everything else in between, PopularLemonade has evolved into its own beast.  There's not a week that goes by that someone catches me on the street to say hello, chat about sneakers, music, whatever.  To those ... Continue Reading

Best of 2009 :: PopularLemonade edition
I feel like 'best of' lists are a bit overrated - everyone ends up putting on their bad ass hats and bitching about the placement of the exact same 10 albums within the list.  Instead of boring you all with a bunch of diatribe and bullshit, I'd rather show you ... Continue Reading

Boombox 3rd anniversary party :: Reflection Eternal + Mos Def + J. Cole + Jay Electronica
Having close ties to LA for close to a year made it painful to miss the Boombox 3rd Anniversary Party a few weeks back... What added more salt to the wound was that Inka One & company brought in Talib Kweli for a special dj set... What I didn't know ... Continue Reading

Jay-Z + J. Cole :: A Star is Born // Jay-Z + Kanye West :: Hate
I wonder if Jay’s really trying to leak his entire album before it’s set to release in 12 days?  7 our of 15 tracks have been leaked or released by now, which is insane. I’m surprised at how upbeat the J.Cole track was, especially since I was expecting more of a ... Continue Reading
