For all the fellas

I post about Mos Def a lot but I swear this is my last time for a while. Check out this, Undrcrwn and Mos Def are collaborating for the Mos Def collection. The collection is mostly sportswear, but Mos Def hand drawings are mixed into the prints. I wish they had something for the females tho!

This past week...

I have been on a bit of a hiatus, because of school. Its the weekend now and I am really happy to have some free time. My birthday was amazing. I only had my small canon, so I couldn't get the best pictures of Mos Def. But he was really amazing. He did songs on the ecstatic album, along with blackstar and early stuff. He played the drums, did the moonwalk, and a lot of other Michael Jackson songs. It was just all around a great show, I highly recommend seeing Mos Def in concert if hes near you. Also Governor's island is an amazing place to see a concert, right on the beach next to the new york city skyline.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes as well!

So Mos def new album is now available on itunes!! His fourth solo album, I am really excited for it. I have yet to hear the whole CD but "History" and "Casa Bey" are already on constant rotation on my itunes. Mos def gives me hope that real hip hop still exists. Its funny since this school year I took a class on Brooklyn Literature. We studied literature works from Walt Whitman to Mos def. We looked at his song "Brooklyn" as a literary piece. After studying him as a poet and writer this album will be especially pleasing.

Today I went to the BEST dim sum restaurant. My aunt used to take me when I was younger and I haven't been in years. It was seriously amazing. I had this pork bun I am drooling thinking about it.
