Wow. Just saw this incredible good video for Macklemore‘s song ‘Wings’ over on sneakerb0b‘s blog. The story of the song captures so many aspects of sneakerism and lets you really think about it. A definite must-see!!
Bonus footage and more information under Love&Shoestrings.

And here’s another one by Julian Middlebrooks: This ill video for ‘Frei’ by Frankfurt based rapper Mr. Marius features beautiful views on our skyline and also a visit to 2four7.
This Marcantbeatz (FFM all the way again!) produced track is also the single for Meezy‘s debut album ‘Erlkönig’, that you can check out here on Amazon.
Oh, and by the way: Hahüü-ppy B-Day, Meezy!!!!

Recently, we posted the IN HEAVEN Party Video by Julian Middlebrooks, but here’s more from his work as he also produced and directed Olli Banjo‘s official video for ‘Lichtplanet’, that is by the way also produced by the local producer duo Bounce Brothas. FFM all the way!!!
You can get the album, that has many more Bounce Brothas beats here on Amazon.

With all that new stuff emerging and evolving in music (which is good of course!!!) this will still always be my type of shit! Straight East Coast Hip Hop!

Here’s a nice & laid-back mash-up track, that combines Adele’s “Chasing Pavements” with Jay-Z & Kanye West’s “Never Change“, for an easy Sunday morning.

Have a nice Sunday, everyone!

No explanation needed.
But what’s still missing here along some Jordans after a lost job (check @chrishimself84′s post from yesterday for that) and now the gold chain, are some chicks, right??
Some time ago, I read about Playboy’s plans to rank the Top 23 Air Jordans. Obviously, I was looking forward to it and the pics are, uhm, quite nice, but as a sneakerhead I would’ve liked the J’s on the Playmates’ feet or somewhere “in the picture”. The way they did it now, it could have also been someone at home behind his Photoshop putting a picture of an Air Jordan and a Playmate together. Or do you think they really used some big ass J’s in size 256 for this photo shoot?? Me don’t think so…
Only pic where it goes along pretty well in my opinion is that one for the Jordan VII, because the Playmate seems to have the laces in her hands.
If you are still hyped or just wanna see some naked women, you can check out the whole Solemate feature on Playboy’s website. If you pay at least $4.95 that is!

The Weekly Ten Minutes project is now 14 weeks deep, so it’s already a 140 minutes-long mixtape by many different DJs, that will probably never end.
In week 13 Fat Jon, American hip hop producer of Five Deez, blessed us with some special 10 minutes, that are maybe not your average mix, but that’s exactly why we really enjoyed listening to it.

Today it’s DJ Steph‘s turn and for a nice & chilly Sunday evening his mix features nice & chilly tunes!
The Weekly Ten Minutes: Week 14 DJ Steph
Hope y’all enjoy it! More from The Weekly Ten Minutes on SoundCloud, where you can also download the mixtapes as mp3 files, or on Facebook.

I posted this under the slogan TRACK OF THE HOUR a few days ago on Facebook and twitter (@theballatician), but honestly this track has been the BANGER OF THE LAST FEW DAYS. I love that it’s just raps (and crazy ones by the way). I love the beat. I love the video, which is plain and simple, but I still enjoyed watching it more than… let’s say…. the last Kanye video. I’m real happy for you Kanye, but… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So, I hope that at least one of you guys will also enjoy it for these reasons.
Thanks to Simon for sharing. Have a nice Sunday, everybody.

The Weekly Ten Minutes started this year as a unique project from a bunch of DJs, who are determinded to bless us with 10 minutes of great music every week (as the name suggests). With a different DJ every Sunday, there is something for nearly every taste, and by continuing with the last track of the previous week there might never be an end to this mixtape.
Now 5 weeks in, it’s already a 50-minute mixtape, that will continue next week and so on and on. So far it features Frankfurt based DJs, but the plan is to also get DJs from all places involved. Hope you’ll enjoy listening to it as much as I did.
Week 1: AirFussOne
Week 2: DJ Steph
Week 3: Rumble
Week 4: DJ Lunis
Week 5: DJ Jackmode
Thanks so far, guys! There’s definitely more great music to come, so if you don’t wanna miss out on it, you should follow either on SoundCloud, where you can also download the mixtapes as mp3 files, or on Facebook.
If this was not enough music for you, you also may check out the radio show these guys did last Friday.

As I saw the trailer a few weeks ago, I already couldn’t wait for this little documentary NY-Z by director Danny Clinch, which is centered around Jay-Z‘s benefit concert at Madison Square Garden last year. It’s a little different from what I first expected, because it’s not all about the concert itself. That’s truly great, because it was nice to see something unexpected, combined with really dope visuals in this video.
From bricks to billboards. From Marcy to Madison Square. Enjoy.
As there is not much original concert content in it, I highly recommend to watch the complete concert from Sep, 11th, if you haven’t yet, so you can get an idea of the energy in the building as well as how Jay-Z connects with his audience. Especially how he does at the end – that’s what really standed out for me.
R.O.C.
