This artist by the name of Daniele Buetti is so DOPE!. The pics above that you see are all created by Buetti and are perforated photographic prints on an aluminium lightbox. The Swiss artist currently lives in Berlin and Zurich and has been working with multimedia such as tinted photographs of celebs, brand names, and lightboxes creating thought-provoking art. His work has been featured in galleries worldwide. Definitely an artist to keep your eyes on the look-out for and to do so you can visit the site here: http://buetti.aeroplastics.net/ . LOVE IT. ~E$$Y
“Chivalrous Culture” kickz by Diggy Simmons…
24 MarDiggy Simmons on March 5th via USTREAM gave all his fans a preview of what’s to come from his soon to be released shoeline “Chivalrous Culture” which I think is a DOPE! name. With him being signed to Atlantic just this past March 22nd along with his shoeline in tow I’d say he’s doing the damn thing. Oh yeah if you have twitter follow his shoeline here: http://twitter.com/ChivCulture ~E$$Y

24 MarTrey Songz and Jeezy will be covering VIBE mags Spring 2010 issue. The photos shown above will be some of many pics featured in the mags spread which VIBE editor in Chief, Jermaine Hall, says “Will push the envelope” and goes on to also state “I wanted to push the sex envelope with Trey’s shoot visually,” Hall said Tuesday March 23rd. “We were able to come up with shots that are equally entertaining for men and women.” BTW, Jeezy no longer goes by the moniker ‘Young Jeezy’ per www.VIBE.com. Stay tuned because the official cover will be released on VIBE mags site Tuesday, March 30th. I know you ladies out there will be ecstatic once this issue is released seeing Trey will be on the cover, I however look forward to Jeezy cause the boy is one of the hottest rappers out.~E$$Y
Matthew Knowles baby confirmed..
24 MarSo, Matthew Knowles IS the father and Beyonce now has a brother. Matthew Knowles has been confirmed through DNA testing that he is in fact the father of his jump off’s Alexsandra Wright’s newly born child. This comes from sources who told TMZ “With the DNA test a match, we’re told lawyers for Knowles and Wright are in the final stages of negotiating a settlement for baby Nixon’s child support”.
“Wright filed a paternity suit last October against Knowles — who was temporarily ordered to pay $8,200 in monthly child support”.
“Wright claims she had an 18 month affair with Knowles”.
Big-UPs to Tina Knowles for leaving his ass. When you invest that many years into someone and then have to be put through such public humiliation and turmoil behind him cheating I would’ve left him to. Tina is a beautiful stunning woman and she shouldn’t have any problem with getting another man. She probably has men young and old knockin’ at her door now lol. ~E$$Y
NEW MGMT album Free stream…
22 MarMGMT has decided to post their highly anticipated entire NEW album as a free stream on their website http://www.whoismgmt.com/ since some of the tracks are already being leaked. MGMT wanted to allow their fans to download it now but that was an obvious NO NO per their record label Columbia and MGMT left this message confirming that via their site: “Hey everybody, the album leaked, and we wanted you to be able to hear it from us. We wanted to offer it as a free download but that didn’t make sense to anyone but us.” Glad they made the decision to let their fans hear it before the April 13th release date. Go listen to it NOW!, OH, and do please cop it~E$$Y
Kid Cudi Candids…
22 MarThese pics I took from www.kidcudi.com . Some awesome candids Cudi has taken of himself while making moves. I absolutely love these pics and am glad the Cudder takes the time out from his busy schedule to show us what he’s up to. Can’t wait for the new album. Luv ya Kid Cudi lolz. ~E$$Y
NEW Kelly Rowland “Smooches”…
22 MarKelly Rowland released her new song “Smooches” which could quite possibly become her comeback record. This track I am definitely feeling and was produced by super producer Bangladesh who btw did Beyonce’s “Video phone” and “Diva”. Word is that this song was originally recorded by Teyana Taylor but apparently whichever artist happens to buy the track owns it and if I may say so myself Kells did ‘own’ this track lolz and I prefer hearing it come from Kell’s as well. She rocked this song. Listen to it below. ~E$$Y

L.A. Gear Tech Lights…
21 MarThese were actually released in Dec. of 2009. I just came across them and this is one of the DOPEST! shoe discoveries thus far for me this year. Mainly because it brings back a child hood memory of when I got my very own first pair of L.A. Gears as a young girl. I remember it so vividly as if it were yesterday and how they were pink and white low tops with of course the bottom light-ups that L.A. Gear is so famously known for. I recall the day when I out grew them and was so sad to have to give them up to someone else who could make use of them, I was donating them. It took me a while to overcome my sadness over my very first pair of DOPE! kicks but eventually I did and now I am actually pretty ecstatic to see L.A. Gears being brought out again. I would purchase them from www.Sportiela.com who carries a wide selection and range of colors of these modern techs but why would I do that when I live close by the source and can have them the same day?. These are mines for keeps, wont be out growing this pair. ~E$$Y
