. . . . . Who Is Dremur??. . . .

Heard of him??. . . . Well get familiar!!

There's very few individuals I can say that can instantly capture your undivided attention. . . Funny thing is. . . When DREMUR grabs your eyes and ears; you have no choice but to submit to this man's words.

The intro of most of his performances. . . a microphone isn't even needed!!

The Bronx native has been shaking up the rap scene with his latest mixtape "One Step Away. . . Miles To Go". The single "Gotta Get It" which is available on iTunes, has been called "game day music" on http://www.lebronjames.com/. Performing across the country, Dremur has been demanding everyone to ask. . . . Who Is DREMUR??. . . Know the man's struggle. . . his passion. . . his story. . .

We all know Hip-Hop has been on loose strings. . . So many up and coming artists trying to make their way to the top. . . But DREMUR has the qualities to be "one of the greatest". . . Drive. . . Passion. . . LOVE. . . and something to say!!. . . And he wants everyone to hear him!

This Thursday, July 14th at 7pm in one of Gifted Apparel's prime boutiques, The Vault in Harlem. . . DREMUR will be doing a live performance along side Julian Stephen and Beano. Hosted by Puma of Black Ink Gallery and sponsored by Budweiser, Nude Vodka, Deadstock Ric and Gifted Apparel NYC.

Come out to shop and enjoy GOOD music!!

RSVP @ Events@theimgway.com (RSVP is a must!!)

Friday's Swag. . .

Killin'em!!! Tonight we have Mr. GIFTED himself as our feature for Friday's Swag!!! Kevin a.k.a. BAWSE!!! lol

Let's see what Kev put together for tonight. . .

So to start. . . (Kev puttin out sh!t that ain't even drop yet)... Threw on these exclusive Diesel jeans (http://www.diesel.com/) paired with red/white Adidas (http://www.adidas.com/). . . Russell Simmons bracelet (http://www.macys.com/) topped off with the Basquiat tee from Gifted Apparel NYC (http://www.giftedapparelnyc.com/). . . in case it gets chilly tonight, Kev is gonna cover up his tatts with this exclusive burn-out Viva La Brooklyn hoody (not available in stores.... yet!)

So Kev. . . when is that hoody dropping on the site?? That's a good look bruh-bruh

Music.... and what's to come of it...

Good day world -

So I'm gonna get right to it. . . Wacka Flocka Flame is retiring from the rap game!! Why?!? because of all the industry phonies and fakes. . . Brother. . . The world is full of fakes and phonies!! Don't let no one have control of your path and what you may be destined to do. Honestly; your music gives the energy most of us need!! Like getting hyped in the gym while working out. . . before hitting the clubs we blast your music getting our energy pumped up. . . Just screaming out "FLOCKAAAA" releives stress. People may feel hip-hop is better without you. . . But not everyone is a Jay-Z fan. . . Not everyone likes 2Pac. . . And everyone isn't a Common fan. But they still continued to put out music they love.

Now I normally don't get too excited about reunions (But if the Fugees get back together. . . I may just lose my mind). . . But State Property has finally gotten back together after the fall of Roc-A-fella!! And honestly seeing the fellas from Philly back together brings back old memories of the great dnasty that ALMOST came to be. Hopefully the guys can get their movement back going again. Here's a clip of SP in the studio on Philly's Power99 FM.

Sigel has always been a problem. . .

So has anyone peeped Lloyd new hairstyle?? Evidently it's stirring up heat between him and Miguel. . . It's just a hairstyle. . . But I aint gonna front. . . It's kinda dope!! The whole "Guns N' Roses" tattoo is cool!! What ya'll think?

Well that's it for now. . . Next up is Friday's swag!! Until next time world!!

PLANKING???

Good Day world -

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. . . . I sure did!

The weather was pleasant all weekend; especially for the Fort Greene Festival in Brooklyn on Saturday!! I heard Mos Def rocked the crowd. . . not surprised!!

But Sunday. . . I have to say. . . The BET Awards. . . between Kevin Hart to me being the best host so far. . . and Free and that dress during the after party!! Let me get right to that. . . Free. . . Ms. Free. . . can we say DAMNNN!!! (Smokey voice from Friday). . . Just give me 3 and a half minutes. . . Maybe even FO'!

I just wanna thank you. . . that dress. . . and that @ss!!

But now last night on twitter. . . the world went crazy with this "planking". . . And I died laughing all night. . . We sure know how to take something and create a phenomenal story out of it. . .

So I took time out and researched what planking is.

Not to be confused with Plank (exercise).

     The lying down game (also known as planking, or face downs) is an activity, popular in various parts of the world, consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body, and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The location should also be as public as possible, and as many people as possible should be involved.

Here's some of the twitpic's from last nights "planking" marvel!!!
