My man Bobbito has just teamed up with Pro Keds to design a 30th anniversary edition of their classic Royal Flush shoes. As we all know when it comes to sneaker history, basketball history and latin music and culture history especially when it comes to his beloved NYC none know it or show it better than Cool Bob Love so I will leave it to the man himeself!

Hip-Hop EPKs (Electronic Press Kits)
EPKs for those of you that don't know are a music industry tool for promoting a new album, single or act to the press etc. It will usually include a press release, still pics, at least a couple of the tracks from the album and more often that not a filmed piece about the artist and what has gone into the album.
Here are some EPKs from my favourite projects and artists..
An all time classic Nas's Illmatic EPK features interviews with a very young nas as well as Premo, Q-Tip, Large Pro & Pete Rock
Another classic is the EPK for 3 Feet High & Rising. Not only does is feature a mad young De La and Prince Paul but also gives you a climpse into the inner sanctum of the time.
Wu-Tang's Enter The 36 Chambers actually has 2 EPKs. Introducing the key members and the concepts behind Wu it is well worth a look! Here's Pt.1
Here's Pt.2
While not an EPK this episode of Classic Albums on Jigga's classic Reasonable Doubt does pretty much the same thing.

Twelve 12's of Tribe Mix
I was recently asked by the good people at Southern Hospitality to do a mix for their series of "Twelve 12's" mixes.
Like most great ideas it is a simple one. A DJ selects Twelve 12's mixes them together, using no Serato, studio trickery etc and then spreads the word.
As per usual I felt I had to theme the mix so did a Tribe Called Quest special with a few of your fav' bangers mixed in with some remixes and B Sides.
To download this head to the www.thedoctorsorders.com/podcast and get signed up for this and a load of other mixes from the likes of Mr Thing, Kon of Kon & Amir and loads more.
To check out all the Southern Hospitality mixes and a load more besides go to their brilliant blog and while ya there make sure you download Superix's Teddy Riley mix! You won't be disappointed!
