LUPE FIASCO

Old time friend also international rap superstar Lupe Fiasco who was in town for SINGfest (South East Asia's Premier LIVE Music Event) along with the good people from homegrown outfit FALSE dropped by and paid The Killer Gerbil a surprise visit at Sup Clothing store in Haji Lane despite the bad weather here to catch up over lost times.

Lupe and I first met in 2005 at IdN Conference here in Singapore at the time he was building his career in the music industry and since then has gone successfully huge through his love and passion for hip-hop with various music award title under his belt.

Lupe Fiasco will be performing at SINGfest on 4th of August happening at Fort Canning Park along other international fames like Kanye West, Katy Perry and Smashing Pumpkins among others.

It was definitely nice to catch up again with the ever so humble and talented Lupe and we can only wish for more success for his career in time to come.

TRIPLE TROUBLE

Local sneaker fiends Sole Obsession whom I've worked closely with from years back doing tshirt collabs and group shows, recently just produced yet another installment this time involving Sup Clothing and yours truly on a tshirt with each individual graphics representing the different camps all united in 1 mashed up design.

Inspired by the college style design, the "Triple Trouble" collab's all about schooling the masses on the existence of the local street culture coming together based on brotherhood built along the years and that in union, there is strength to push the local scene on another level.

The "Triple Trouble" collab tshirt is now available at Sup Clothing store 34 Haji Lane in a limited quantity of 40 pieces.

THE KILLER GERBIL OFFICIAL CLOTHING LINE PARTY RECAP

Last Saturday witnessed The Killer Gerbil official clothing line release party at Sup Clothing store with people young and old streaming in store despite the drizzle with some even queued before the store opens just to be the early birds of the pack. Attendees were treated to an in-store art installation which was a re-creation of my actual workstation made up of intimate and personal belongings, sketches and what nots.

Halfway throughout the night, we decided to be generous and held a random competition which 5 brave volunteers had to chomped a bag of popcorns to victory with winner happened to be our boy Mingzhi walking away with a Killer Gerbil tshirt of his choice.

If you have been following this blog, you should remember my previous entry from last month on my embarkation to create my own clothing line with the great help from the good people of Sup Clothing and finally after sorting shits out over several emails with the manufacturer, here's sharing with you a quick update and a little teaser of what's cooking in the Gerbilaboratory to whet that appetite that will be serving sooner than expected at Sup Clothing store real soon.

SUP CLOTHING 2010 SPRING/SUMMER LOOKBOOK

On our last trip to Bandung, Indonesia, the good people behind Sup Clothing took the travel opportunity to shoot their 2010 Spring/Summer collection lookbook which were shot and edited by photographer Yasin Rahim aka Mr.36 featuring the usual suspects including yours truly.

Sup Clothing 2010 Spring/Summer collection are available in store at 34 Haji Lane and soon online on their webstore.

ROCKSTAR

The current local arts and music scenes are definitely progressing from time to time and its really good to know the people around me are pushing the envelopes harder than before to step up their game.

I knew of a Kevin Lester or he's formally known as Switch from the band "Bonafide Vintage Flav'r" who is a rap figure in the local hip hop scene from way back in the day. BVF had impressive shits with hit songs that ride the local air waves and nominated best local band and song in between.

Fast forward 8 years later and disbanded, Kevin now took on his solo act full time creating good music just like how its supposed to be. Kevin just recently completed a video for his latest track "Rockstar" backed by the geniuses behind Bedsty Music. This is one video you don't fucking want to miss knowing it is done right here in the Lion City with cameos by local head honchos with no pretentious shit whatsoever because this is where its at!

THE NEXT EPISODE

Last Saturday at Sup Clothing store witnessed RCGNTN The First Edition party that had got the whole of Haji Lane down like wildfire all night while keeping it strictly local for the masses.

The event featured showcases from local photographers from different genres to sneakers and toy customizers holding down the spot alongside the live art by the usual suspects including yours truly backed by Singapore's very own sounds.

One of the most craziest night which can only be brought to you from the good people of RCGNTN and Sup Clothing and if you missed this one, I just don't know what the fuck were you thinking.

Big up RCGNTN for keeping it down local and to more future good times!
