Feature: The Alchemist and Just Blaze dj-set at Ease Village, Shoreditch, London- 11th May 2010

The BattleBrand team had the honor this week of attending a once in a lifetime dj battle, featuring the realist hip hop sound clash being spun by legendary Hip Hop producers; The Alchemist and Just Blaze. The two duelists set the scene for a night of beats that sent me back to Rock the Bells '09.

OriginalFake x Loopwheeler Hoodie

OriginalFake has become the latest brand to work with legendary Japanese jersey experts Loopwheeler. The collaboration has spawned the creation of a must have Loopwheeler cotton zip-up hoodie, the hood comes with a small embroidered logo on the chest, the Kaws X Eyes on the cuffs and a nice little leather detail on the zipper.

The hoodie will be available in two colourways for a release date aimed at the end of this season.

The Hundreds Deagle T-shirt

The Hundreds always seem to get their inspiration from the most unlikely places and this season is no exception. From the 1988 film 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' (has it really been that long?), which stared Bob Hoskins as the 'film noir detective' with a plucky cartoon rabbit client/sidekick (who gets the girl by the way), the film blew up 22 years ago and The Hundreds have reminisced by dropping the Deagle t-shirt with the cartoon Desert Eagle gun from the film on the front. The tee also features the Bomb logo on the back for the younger audience who don't get the pop culture reference.

Look to The Hundreds stockists for the release!

Air Jordan V wall art by Vincent 'Krupky' Clervi

Artist Vincent 'Krupky' Clervi, who is probably best known for his 2009 Nike x Doernbecher children's hospital collection has created another visually stunning wall mounted piece of work. The work that Krupky did for Doernbecher was unquestionably outstanding, however his latest work is arguably even better. For his latest work, Krupky has disassembled the Fire Red Air Jordan Vs (either OGs, or the 2000 retros) into a fractal-like piece of artwork with sole collector's logo at it's centre that is both hypnotic and awe-inspiring.
