Music| @070Shake & @YesJulz Stop Time w/ New Track “Trust Nobody” & B-day Wishes For @RalphyRiver

• Queen’n (To Embrace The Queen That Lives Within) is a trait both YesJulz & Shake must share and admire about one another as they lead their markets and break down boarders of what women will accomplish in 2016. It appears we have stumbled across this generation’s P. Diddy & Biggie duo but with much more appeal and a heat-seeking missile social media marketing approach. This reference comes from a recent YesJulz rant as she built the anticipation for yesterday’s music release from 070’s own Shake. In her tweets, Julz pointed out the history of Diddy and how he manage to start his career as a party promoter and became one of music’s most influential spokesperson. Julz seems to be reaching for similar heights as she continues to debut new music from growing artist on her routine #NewMusicMonday releases. One particular artist that she has taken under her wing is New Jersey’s own Shake070, whom if you stalk timeline’s like we do, you would have seen all over YesJulz IG & Twitter. The duo seems to be impressing listeners and followers, because the new track is already passing 20k listens and is popping up everywhere. Living, Partying, Traveling but most importantly #NeverNotWorking, these two are creating an exciting 2016.

Puff started with parties & realized the hand he had in controlling the music that was poppin in the scene and started signing artists

He found Biggie and it was a wrap.

I just found my Biggie. Y'all ain't ready lol

— Julz (@YesJulz) January 22, 2016

Days after these tweets, Shake proudly presents “Trust Nobody“, a song that timeline lookers have been waiting on and aggressively requesting. Julz, in true Diddy form, announces the release and fans went chancing. The dark production from 070 homies J. Sebastian & EtherPHX receive that lyrical Shake we have come to know. She delivers a heart-felt message about her growth and antisocial attitude towards all fake friends she has and will encounter. In an industry that demands but doesn’t warrant trust, Shake seems equipped with the talent, attitude and surroundings to make it far. One safe bet is that Julz is in her corner and is endorsing her sound at every chance.

As a true friend, Shake waits to release the track until the birthday weekend of her proclaimed brother/best friend Ralphy River. Ralphy has been featured on this site before as a model for twin designers The Lucid Twins for brand Lucid FC. As a member of 070, Ralphy supports his Jersey family and Tonight in Jersey City, New Jersey you can party with memebrs of the 070 squad. Happy Bornday Ralphy!

Music|Listen to “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” Drake’s New Album

• Thus far, OVO C.E.O., Drake has mastered the art presentation in his appreciable career and around 12:40 something late last night Aubrey gave one of the best examples of marketing and artistry. The Cash Money artist released a surprise album, well at least a surprise to the mass public, that not only demolished the internet but propelled HipHop to new levels. Dubbed “If You’re Reading This It’s To Late“, plays ever so cleverly to his master plan and veers from the anticipated “Views From The 6” idea. During All-Star Weekend and the start-up of New York Fashion Week, Drake pulls all attention to himself. This Is Marketing! Naturally the world was just seconds late to the knowledge of what could be the Album Of The Year. Hyping this album is the production that accompanied the theatrical lyrics supplied by Toronto’s own.Help from Noah “40” Shebib, Boi-1da, PartyNextDoor, wondagurl, Travis Scott and more, set the floor for Drake to verbally tap dance all over. Listen to the album and let us know what you think. Also enjoy Jungle, a visual from the past that joins the release of this album.

Fashion| PUMA x Walt “Clyde” Frazier “All-Gold”

• Through out time, Sports and Fashion has developed a romance like none other. With players from many sports taking their fashion statement infront of the camera more serious, we start to see a pattern of designer and players collaborating more than ever. In the NBA one individual is considered the fore-father of fashion for players and he goes by the name Walt “Clyde” Frazier.

This German basketball giant has unveiled recently news of a collaboration with sports brand PUMA ahead of All-Star weekend. Using one of PUMA’s most storied silhouettes, Frazier’s ability to steal the ball earned him the referential moniker, which pays homage to the infamous crime duo Bonnie & Clyde.

The celebratory sneaker features an all-gold upper, offset by a New York City heel tab and packaged in a limited edition illustrated shoe box. This collaboration is a direct display of the artist and athlete relationship that has become so commonly exhibited.

While you check out the all-gold kicks, enjoy the Puma released teaser’s featuring Walt giving insight on fashion below. Also look for them to drop on February 13 at Roc N Sole, Jimmy Jazz, Vinnie’s Styles and Michael K.

Accessories|Urwerk UR-110 “Eastwood” Watch

• Watch company Urwerk are small in size, but their creations are larger than life and definitely from out of this world. Known for their trademark futuristic style, there’s no better testament to this than the UR-110 watch which relies on multiple satellite complications to display the time. Sadly, the watch will be relegated to the history books come early 2015 when it will be removed from the Urwerk lineup. So for the UR-110 watch’s swan song, its makers decided to go out with a bang.

Dubbing it “The Eastwood,” the watch’s bezel is trimmed out in ebony veneer. Two styles are offered: one with a Makassar ebony finish and the other with a lighter red ebony finish. The hour hands are replaced by a series of rotating modules, while the minutes appear on the right side of the watch and scale downwards in chronological order. Take a closer look at the Urwerk UR-110 here.
