Here we have the UK’s Iron Braydz with his dope new mixtape Holla@Braydz. Iron Braydz is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best emcees we have to offer over here in the UK. Having teamed with some of the most respected names in hip hop (Guilty Simposon M1 of Dead Prez, Phat Kat) ; it’s baffling that he does not receive more attention that he does.

Upon hearing his newest offering, the Holla@Braydz mixtape, I felt that this might be the project that further broadens his fanbase. It’s definitely way more mainstream than I’m used to hearing from him in parts. Joints such as Braydz in Paris (a remix of the Jay and Ye track) and his re-jig of Big Sean’s hit Dance (A$$)Make Dat Booty Clap, shows a more fun and less intense side to the rapper as well as showing off his own production skills on several of the tracks. This mixtape is a must have. A clear display of authentic UK talent. Loyal Braydz fans will not be disappointed either, this tape is an all-rounder.

Wu-Tang Clan representative Raekwon is back with a dope new video for his track “A Pinebox Story”. The video for “A Pinebox Story” plays out like a crazy gangster film, full of gritty street life and violence. We see Rae as he kicks in a Shaolin basement as his various victims are tied up, beaten, and put in a pinebox; all while Rae drinks Moet and smokes some blunts.

The dark video is a very fitting set of visuals for the gritty story that Rae spits. The track was originally found on Raekwon’s latest offering Unexpected Victory, which is available now. Check out the video for “A Pinebox Story” after the jump and let us know what you think.

The Reebok Pump Omni Lite has recently been spotted at retailers with a head-turning combination of patent leather and mesh. Designed with Basquiat inspiration, this pair features a grey and black color combination that is adorned with crowns as well as Basquiat’s signature font. Finishing this pair off are hits of red branding on the heel cup as well as the tongue. How does this pair compare to the Reebok Pump Omni Lite “Basquiat” Black/Gold that we previewed earlier in the year?

It appears that Activision will offering up a glimpse into what will be the next game in the Call of Duty franchise. Gaming developer Treyarch is behind the next game which in all likelihood will be CoD: Black Ops 2. Earlier in the year, Amazon in Europe prematurely listed Black Ops 2 as an upcoming release, and it was ordered to be taken down by Activision. Anyway, tune into tonight’s NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets as a trailer will be airing during the telecast.
