A semi-collaboration in many ways, since F.C.R.B. is related to Nike, the release of their Solarsoft Waffle Cruiser in two special colorways is still nonetheless an interesting offering. This take on Nike’s Waffle Racer silhouette has been rendered in two spring-appropriate colorways; Black/Volt and Navy/Sax. Specifically, the Black/Volt color scheme references F.C.R.B.’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection, but both shoes feature special F.C.R.B. branding. These two exclusive colorways will be available at all F.C.R.B. retailers starting on May 25th.
Quadon, the duo Rhye’s Robin Hannibal and Coco O, team up with Kendrick Lamar for “Better Off,”which is the perfect after hours song. The duo, which at one time was a part of the Boom Clap Bachelors, had their song “Tiden Flyver” sampled on Kendrick’s “Bitch Dont Kill My Vibe.” Definitely good to see this collaborative effort, in a recent interview with Pitchfork Magazine Hannibal spoke highly of Kendrick:
We only have one feature on our new album, and we are elated that it’s Kendrick Lamar. He invited us to collaborate on his own album, and we had such a great time working with him that we asked him if he wanted to be part of our project as well. We are so happy for all his success and we are very proud of this song. We wanted to have more of a fluid song that wasn’t too over structured and had a bit of a bedroom/after hours vibe to it.
Quadoron’s new album Avalanche drops June 4th.
From touring with Nas to a variety of memorable acoustic performances, Jhené is keeping her buzz going. She teams up with No I.D. for this soulful ballad straight from the heartbreak hotel. Her debut album Souled Out should drop later this year.
