Welcome to a new era here at Frizthewiz.com,  an era of sneaker pimping, hole-in-one sinking, fixie thrashing, fashion mashing goodness. The best content has been retained, presented with a brand spanking new face lift, and we couldn’t be more happier, which means we know you will love it too (if I can be presumptuous!). Take the time to browse the new features available, such as the topic search feature. If you only want to look at some fresh kicks, click the kicks button!

We’ll also be having some giveaways in the next week or so to celebrate the launch of the new site, so stay tuned and you might cop yourself some free proddy!

Legendary producer and Emcee, Guru (aka Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal), of the legen, wait for it, dary hip-hop duo Gangstarr, has passed away aged 43. Considered the pioneer of  the hip-hop/Jazz cross over genre, he had been battling cancer for over a year, and was admitted to hospital earlier this year. A letter has arisen, supposedly written by Guru on his death bed, although it seems quite suspect. It singles out Gangstarr’s ex-DJ (the infamous Dj Premier), and blatantly discredits him from using any reference to Guru or Gangstarr and more. Read the letter for yourself here at Preemo’s blog!

Coming soon!

NYC clothing company, 10 Deep, releases a preview of their spring/summer season. Well known for their staple design of five panel hats and button ups, this season is no disappointment. A variety of short and longsleeve ginghams are present along with some strong single colour cottons. The most impressive piece is the new santeen convertible shorts, which feature a camo print on the upturned cuff. Some oxford styled New Era’s are also present, but the sneak peek of the releases seems to be a collab with Adidas on a pair of suede high top sneakers. Keep your eyes out for the drop, hopefully those shorts (atleast!!) drop down under!

Sydney fashion label Well Dressed Vandals have just released their new line up for the autumn season, consisting of 4 brand spanking new tees.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a video about the donuts event  held in detroit which celebrated the 4th anniversary of the passing of J Dilla.

Transcribing J Dilla’s music into both live and electronic forms, here is the finished product! You can download the mixtape entitled ‘The Roots J Dilla Jawns’ here.
