From Seattle, to Salt Lake, to New York spring is knocking at the door. Although this makes it hard to sit down and get to work thats just what we’ve been doing. With the winter/spring mens line off the ground we’re excited to start moving ahead with some new fun projects. Keep your eyes and ears open for a girls release, some new music releases from northwest bands, a few events, and some other goodies.
Keeping living the Vida Pura and get out and get some sun for us!

If you don’t know yet you will soon. B.o.B is a emerging rapper/producer/guitarist from Atlanta who has been working on his debut album for almost three years now. His real name is Bobby Ray but he preforms under his alter ego B.o.B (kind of a TI vs TIP thing). The music is a fresh breath into todays state of auto-tuned, over synthesized, robotic hip-hop. With live instruments, clever rhymes, and samples from Manu Chau to Three Dog Night, B.o.B is bringing his own take on hip-hop to the masses. Check him out before the album drops this April and everyone is wondering where he came from.
Here is a track from the B.o.B vs Bobby Ray mix tape. The mix tape is top shelf for sure and has a little something for everyone with appearances from Asher Roth, Kanye West, TI, and Bun B.
