Talib Kweli + Hi-Tek are releasing their sophomore outing, Revolutions Per Minute. Exclusively produced by Hi-Tek, features on the album include appearances by Estelle, Bilal, Bun B, Mos Def, Jay Electronica, J. Cole, Res and Chester French. The album covers an array of topics that discuss the shortcomings of America (“Strangers”), society’s obsession with fame (“Got Work”), an honest discussion of drug use (“Lift’in Off”), the pining for a lover returning home (“Midnight Hour”), a music history lesson (“In the Red”), and even a track about Nigeria’s corruption-riddled oil business (“Black Gold”).
DJ Eko just let us know she is djing at Simone’s signing at Sephora SF tomorrow from 6pm-9pm. He’s there to promote the new tokidoki cosmetics, which you can see here (the site also has wallpapers, videos, and an iphone app). He will also be at South Coast on Saturday.
Autographs will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, and the first 200 people who spend $25 or more on tokidoki purchases will receive a tokidoki Frenzie charm.

We were recently going through the stash closet of one of our LA stylist friends and realized we should share the bounty. We pulled out some nicer women’s contemporary designers in a variety of sizes, and we’ve knocked the prices down to 50 – 70% OFF retail. This first batch is all new with tags. You can check out the selection here.
If there’s enough interest, we’ll continue to feature stylish friends of ours with overflowing closets and maybe some fashion blogger buddies. We’ve already asked a few of our sneaker fiends to weed through their collections, we’ll see what hidden gems they might find.
