seen.´s non-hippie reggae and dancehall blog

I don´t know if it´s a good thing that the people over at HighSnobiety can´t even spell reggae - I guess it is if they keep promoting shoes like these pretty ugly “New Balance Raggae”…

As I´m too busy celebrating Germany´s victory over Portugal, I just wanna quickly drop some links worth visiting:

- FIRST Magazine: The Sandbox (this is “street” art, not stencils)

- FIRST Magazine: All Jamaica Invitational Grill Off (I can smell the jerk just from looking at the pics)

- Artschoolvets: Lagerfeld in a warning vest

- Fader: brandnew Killer

- DancehallMobi: uplifting Vado

I received an email from Jan Håkon, an illustrator from Oslo, Norway, today, asking me to check out his stuff.
Flipping through his pretty dope portfolio, my attention was caught by the “Badman Collection”, of course. Part of the Badman Collection is the opportunity to buy one of two 1 square meters of land with a box on it. A box

made of bricks that have been thrown at people and a tree.

Also, the box has “Badman Wallpaper” on the inside and a “Badman Flag” pon top. 

That´s great, man - L.A. Lewis could have had this idea!

WilliE from SoulForce, usually drinking, dancing and bubbling, just send me this picture. Thanks man! Keep on styling and profiling!

Quite a few people have are asking why we changed our blank shirts and are printing on the relatively thin American Apparel shirts now. Well, there are a few reasons for that:

- AA have by far the nicest colour palette out there,
- AA shirts have a decent length without being wide as hell,
- as AA shirts are quite light they make you sweat less in summer, esp. in the club/dancehall,
- AA shirts are made “sweatshop free”.

You can have a look at the BBC Thread (via Style Department) to get an impression about what the last point means in case you don´t know.

P. S. You better get that mad new Shadetek/Cauto EP now - and if it´s only for the

insanely effective ‘Girlfriend rmx’ (via Dutty Artz).

Peter Dean Rickards finally pushed the button: FIRST is back online and it´s better than Ninja Man.
