Songs of the week: 6/1


Ghostface Killa & Danny Brown - SIX DEGREES


I instantly knew I would like this song, because it's a collab between two of my favorite rappers for different reasons. The difference in styles between the vet GFK and the eccentric Detroit rapper Danny Brown create a contrast that hovers over the song & gives it a distinct sound.

In Stussy's guest artist series they explore an artist's work/creative process and usually have a small collaborative effort with that artist. Sorayama is the lastest to be apart of Stussy's guest artist and in the segment he talks about his childhood, how he became an artist, his inspirations, & more.

KOMONO's Jean-Michel Basquiat collection


Jean-Michel Basquiat's work is more popular than ever, seeing a huge revival in popularity over these last few years. This sudden spike in Basquiat's popularity led to (& has risen even more because of) collaborations with multiple brands, the releasing of his documentary, & his paintings selling for more than ever at auctions & gallery exhibitions such as the one he had last year.
