Refillable Color Dial Spray Can
Winning the 2009 Red Dot Award for Green design is this refillable Color Dial Spray, a novel design for a spray can that contains four color cartridges (CMYK) in the one can. Two dials (for hue and brightness) help the painter achieve the exact color required. The concept was developed by designers Kim Youngsuk & Kim Woosik of South Korea. More detailed information regarding the design can be found here.

Drake Talks Jay-Z Collabo, “Light Up”
True story, Drake spit his whole verse to me and my boy last week in Toronto. He even did the beginning of Jay’s verse too. Insanity.
He said they each have 32 bars, sorta like him and Lil Wayne did on “Ransom,” and even though he wanted to do a “No Hook” with Jay, this one has a chorus because apparently it’s sick.
He explained that he’s rapping about where he [thinks he] is in his career and then Jay comes tells him where he is.
He seemed pretty confident that this should satisfy anyone who was let down by the whole shitstorm that came with “Off That.” Apparently the story behind that is that it was a reference track he made for Jay-Z & Timbaland, two established artists in the game, who can rap about trend setting or trend stopping. But then Jay insisted he do the chorus, instead of Timbo.
No snitching, but Drake also mentioned that he had done two other (and apparently better) songs for Blueprint 3 that didn’t make the cut. Apparently he had a verse at the end of Jay & Kanye’s “Hate,” (but his verse got scrapped on the final version) and that he did a song with Jay called “Sweep” or “Sweep Up” (we were drinking,) where Jay talks about Bey and his love for her. Both of these songs have yet to see the light of day. 40 you need to holler at me.
It was a great conversation. Hopefully I’ll be able to drop more little tidbits here and there, otherwise you can expect to see a nice interview before the album drops.
Drake’s Thank Me Later is slated for a March 30th release as of now.

Everyone enters your life for a reason, I believe that everyone has a purpose
You are directly affected by the people that you keep closest to you.
What if the people that you have around you have little or no ambition? You in turn will start adjusting and adapting to their habits until their habits become your habits. The good news is that it also works in reverse. If you have highly ambitious friends that are always striving to achieve something more than what they have and improve their quality of life their habits will eventually become your habits.
"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." Proverbs 13:20
You are born into your family but you grow into your friends.

None above natural law
"Making music is art, it doesn't change who you are as a person. It doesn't mean you're entitled or you're above the law. You still treat people as human beings. It doesn't change the laws of the universe. Life has a balance and for every action there is a reaction. So if you put negative energy in, negative energy comes back to you. You have to live your life within the laws of the universe and I haven't lost sight of that." Shawn Carter

Real Rap...
"I aint vote for Obama, I don't mess with politicians.
They crooked as they come, if you only payed attention, you would see the bailout was government spending your hard earned money buying all these corporations, leaving you in debt to be a slave to the nation, but they don't tell you that; they keep it secret like the masons...
...Was born to be the livest, got my lessons from the wisest. THey told me free my heart and find the God thats inside me. Stay away from tv bcs they be hypnotizen'. Dont follow no scripts youngn', you could improvise it. Dont speak no evil when something go down. Dont say no names, dont even pronoun. Dont point no fingers, dont give em no head!" - CURT@!N$

Custom Dee&Ricky bag for Carmelo Anthony.
"Melo caught wind of the starter duffle bags we designed and wanted to purchase one.. but he also had some of his input.. which was to make it not the average duffle bag size but weekender size.. i guess he wants to bring it to the gym or carry his sneakers around or to put his kid in.
(who knows) anyways… so we searched for some vintage denver nuggets jackets and found a few (chalk line and starters jackets ) and we also found some vintage denver nuggets throwback patches in leather… and Melo also wanted leather incorporated in his custom bag to add a hint of that premium quality…"
