DREW's Note: After hearing this track, I think J. Cole should have kept this track for himself. A very dope track...I wonder what Diddy will do with it. I mean, he did invent the "remix". Ha!

London-based retailer, Garbstore, links up with Penfield for a pair of vests for the cold season. The vest comes in two colors, black and "life-preserver" red-orange but what set these from other vest is the wood toggles on the chest. The vest emphasizes the simplistic look and the attention to detail of both groups. The vest just recently were put out for sale at the Garbstore and other selected retailers. More photos after the jump...

DREW's Note: What can I say...I am a fan of toggles. Ha! These vests are so simple but I want em so BAD.

Kid Cudi - Marijuana

DREW's Note: I guess a weed track was bound to be on the album. I mean there was Maui Wowie off his mixtape and Up Up & Away from MOTM: The End of the Day. As for Kid Cudi becoming a rockstar, I could see him in that genre especially after the "Endless Summer" track.

Zion I's Amp Live puts out visuals for the track "Hot Right Now" for his latest project, Murder At The Discotech (Child's Play). On this track, the Bay Area producer links up with a full cast of West Coast rappers for the song. The album is out now and it has features from Mickey Factz, Trackdemicks, and many more.

DREW's Note: I am a HUGE Zion I fan. With Amp Live's ill productions and Zumbi's dope lyrics and delivery makes Zion I one of the illest and most underrated duos in Hip Hop. I got this album a while back and this track is one of the heavy rotated ones. I recommend Hip Hop fans to get on this album...QUICK!

As part of their Holiday collection, Supra releases new colorways to one of their newest shoe model, the Bandit. Supra is offering two new colorways, a tan/black colorway with red laces and a TUF black/red colorway. The tan colorway gives the shoe more of an outdoor look which is very common around this season. The shoes are now available through Supra retailers and FACTORY 413, the brand's flagship store.

DREW's Note: I think the Fall season brings out the illest colorways. Spring is too soft and Summer is too bright. I think that tan/black/red colorway is a very classic look and Supra got it right.
