KiD CuDi & Dot Da Genius – Perfect Is The Word

I always respected Cudders for blazing into the music world with his unique style while steady creating his own lane. This is the first track that we have heard from his new direction. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. I have the same feeling I had when I first heard 808's from Yeezy... confused. Eventually 808's became one of my favorites though, so time will tell I guess.

R.I.P. Jonas Bevacqua

I'm sad to report that the Co-Founder of the Lifted Research Group clothing company Jonas Bevacqua was found dead this morning in his home in L.A.  The cause of death is unclear and an autopsy will be performed tomorrow Wed July first.  He was 34. LRG was the first brand I remeber really identifing with. Founded in 1999 LRG designs were always stylish, unique and quality was never compromised for price. As a teenager I happily spent half my nursing home paycheck on LRG gear that I still rock almost a decade later. Like the clothing he once helped create Jonas was a timeless personality with a classic taste. You will be missed. For an inspirational interview shoot the J. S/O Nufsed.
