“Slime Flu” fans can now get the first look at the Crooks & Castles design in partnership with Harlem rapper VADO and NYC stores Vault/Goliath. The graphic is iconic with the Crooks line of street wear, putting a “Slime Flu” spin on their ever-popular ‘Medusa’ shirt with a ‘Bandito’ look!
VADO will release his exclusive “Slime Flu” shirt collaboration Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 6pm, during an in-store Meet and Greet and “Slime Flu” mixtape listening session at Vault in Harlem. The limited edition tee falls in line with VADO’s highly anticipated “Slime Flu” mixtape, which will officially infect the streets at the end of May. The custom shirts will be available for sale in limited quantity and are only available at Vault/Goliath stores until they sell out! This is VADO’s first collaboration with Crooks & Castles and Vault/Goliath.
AND – DJ Drama, Cam’ron and VADO came out with Boss of All Bosses 2.5 earlier this week….
While I was in NYC last week, I took the opportunity to use Central Park as my backdrop for a new episode of On The Flipside! I’ve taken a 2 month break from producing new episodes, but I finally managed to crank one out…#22! And in the midst of losing my hard drive, I had to re-edit 2 of these segments which were already done, and re-upload all the graphics, etc.. to get this show done..BUT MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
This episode features Common who’s the leading man in new movie “Just Wright,” which opens up today. There are a bunch of NBA cameo’s in the film, including Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, Jalen Rose and ESPN personality Stuart Scott…so of course I had to post the interviews! Then I included a feature segment on the Orlando Magic’s Matt Barnes, another on the Buffalo Bills Aaron Maybin and this show’s sideline distraction is Tamae Ishii! Take 10 minutes to tune in!! http://ontheflipsidetv.com
I have been busy setting up a collaboration event between VADO, Crooks & Castles and Vault/Goliath and now it’s just a week away! Look out for our other *SLime Flu* collabo “tour stops” in Miami and LA…it’s all in the works!! If you’re in NYC here are the details for May 20!!

Last fall I shot some photos with Miami photographer Derek Gil, and today while I was going through some old emails I came across some of the shots, so I decided to share.
I love this sunset shot where you can also see my reflection in the car…
I did an EARLY morning sunrise photo shoot this weekend on Miami Beach for no reason in particular. My friend and talented photographer Ivan of Bluprint I.D. was in town from NYC, so why not take advantage of his skills and the lovely landscape here that I don’t take enough advantage of! haha I mean, I need new profile pics! JUST KIDDING!
At any rate, it felt so good to be up and about at 6am…and IN nature. The beach is so peaceful and breathtaking at that time of day and it felt good to be all up in it and watch the sunrise!
I also spotted these blue oval ‘jellyfish’ – I’m assuming! I had stepped into the water and around the shoreline, minding my own business and I saw these and freaked out! You never seen me run so fast…haha Ivan tried to say aren’t they just some type of oyster shell?? Then he picked one up and felt the jelly-like texture and didn’t push me to be in the water anymore…lol
Anyway, Ivan says we took some amazing shots…and the lighting was too good to be true! Below are a couple UNEDITED shots that he sent over so I could get an idea of what they lookin’ like. I will share some of the edited joints when I get them…but so far, I think I’m lovin’ the scenery..it looks unreal! A lot of the pics I looked at on his cam..I said, “Is that me?”
And this one, I don’t think it looks like me at all…what’s up with my puffy face!? As my girl Kimi said, “You look different…” However, baby sister Bologna commented, “…you look like Mom.” <<< The ultimate compliment!
At any rate, can you believe how vibrant the colors are and how the sky just pops in these UNEDITED pics!!? CRAZY…
My labor of love On The Flipside turns ONE with the Super Bowl – Ocean Drive episode! I started this journey about a year ago, deciding to do a show that I’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t exist and here it is one year later after the debut Tampa show from the 2009 Super Bowl to 2010 on Ocean Drive. This edition has got it all with celebs from sports and entertainment, attending the hottest Super Bowl parties, walking the red carpet and partying it up by the pool..and make sure you watch it all the way through to see the 26 Pro Bowl Cheerleaders in an ultra sexy fashion show at the W Hotel in South Beach!
