So, Butterz june zip is out now, if you're about music and you ain't heard of these, where you been at? They're doing many good things at the moment, and it just so happens that the video of Mood Swings is out, By Swindle, whose heard the extended VIP version?! pure madness.
Go cop the zip file from here. Various tunes some heads won't have from TRC, a few 130 edits, Royal T business and general Butterz goodness. Boo You is out now too, with all kinds of garage vibes to it, and to celebrate Royal T, has made this mix...

Most people who listen to Kiss on mondays for Logan Sama will have heard the new after hours sets, this one in particular with an old school flavour, and some new bars too!
Aside Boo You, and Blacks and P forthcoming, P Money also gave away a free mixtape at his new website, http://ibeatthetune.com/, free stuffs always nice innit. Also out right about now is the Take off EP by Faze Miyake, available on most good digital vendors, and this is on it.
BANGER. But un satisfied by smashing it once, he pulled about this VIP of it...
Definitely an essential purchase, Faze M is killing it at the moment and i'm looking forward to more baaaaaaaaadboy productions. Rounding off, just because i'm in one of those mood, listen to this...
So the Air Jordan 1 Retro High 'Banned' have a sick little story behind them; they were originally banned by the NBA in 1985 for violating the league’s dress code, they featured crossed out graphics on the heels and special insoles and we also saw the return of the original Nike Air logo on the tongue making collectors weak at the knees.
Turns out the idea of release was scrapped but fortunately a few pairs leaked which we have seen pictures of popping up on blogs recently and believe it or not, a few pairs turned up at a Nike outlet in Portland! As you can imagine they didn't stay there long and at a price of $109.99 I'm not suprised at all! Don't worry though, if you're willing to pay a ridiculously painful price for them they can now be found, yes... on eBay via vnds
