Every once in a while there's an ignorant, hipster, garbage track floating around that hits my ears and makes me want to gig. It ALMOST defines that saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure". Well guys, this is my treasure haha the last one was probably "Rack City" by Tyga, but he's from Gardena so it's chill. Plus "Rack City" was way sicker of a song that our generation is going to be singing for years. Having that said, introducing a new artist, Driicky Graham thats 'Driicky' as in: [D]ope [R]apper [I]npsired [I]nto [C]reating [K]rafty [Y]outhfulness so get it straight haha. He's a 20 year old rapper fresh out of Oxford, North Carolina with Nu World Era Music Group. This is his first hit song, "Snapbacks and Tattoos." Yes it is as good as it sounds and yes you should jam out to it, especially if you like snapbacks and tattoos, nice whips, fly chicks all that cause cash rules.
GC Honey of the Month, June 2012: Kate Upton
on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
So if you haven't noticed yet, the girl of the month is Kate. Her birthday was on June 10th so we're going to get to know her a little better. June gloom? Ppsshhh not with this PYT around.
After she was spotted by a Trump Modeling agent at age 12, it was clear Kate was going to be a star. With 33-25-36 measurements, standing at 5’-10”, all american, with blonde hair, blue/green eyes, born on June 10, 1992 in Michigan. Her favorite food is sushi and her favorite color is yellow (double points for Asians! haha). She was raised in Florida, rode horses competitively (and she was way good at it, she won 4 championships as an equestrienne), oh and her uncle is the U.S. Representative, Fred Upton. She comes from a pretty wealthy family, I mean...her Great-grandfather is one of the founders of Whirlpool Corporation. She started modeling at the age of 15 and was the face of Guess (2010-11), she’s hit up Victoria’s Secrets, and won Rookie of the Year for the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. I heard that she was pretty cool too, I mean a white girl that can Dougie AND cat daddy? Haha. I found out that she is college educated, attending Indiana University. Wow good looking, talented, and smart? Well, we don't know if she is smart, I know some girls that went to college that still aren't smart, so who knows? But then again who cares? It's Kate Upton, she could be a zombie and she'd still be hot.
So what has Ms. Upton been up to? Well... She was voted #2 on Ask men's top 99 'most desirable' famous women of 2012, losing only to Sofia Vergara (star of Modern Family). IMDB ranked her #1 over Jessica Alba as the 'hottest woman alive' too. To add on, GQ Magazine just released their July issue with none other than Kate on the front cover. Looks like GQ followed in GC's footsteps by naming her their girl of the month. Too bad for us she was booked for a photo shoot, so we'll snap some pictures of her next time. But till then, check out her photo shoot with GQ.
She's also a girl that loves sports. Her favorite football team is the New York Jets and her favorite basketball team is the Los Angeles Clippers. But she cheated on the Clippers and did a little video with the OKC Thunder, specifically Kevin Durant and James Harden, on her web show "Take a Supermodel to Work." It's actually pretty funny. I'm surprised they don't warm up to her more at the beginning, they must've learned from Kobe. Check out the video, presented by Skullcandy:

Music Festival Review: CoacHELLyeah!
on Wednesday, April 25, 2012
I never felt so lucky as I woke up on Friday April 13th. It was a perfect day in Coachella land, the sun was shining, the air was fresh, and the people were eager. As our troops began to rally, an indescribable energy began to rush through my body; I was ready.
We started Day 1 with R3hab and followed them up with Kendrick Lamar, a new addition to Dr. Dre's Aftermath label. After his performance, we decided to explore the festival grounds. The festival was filled with unique and amazing art displays from all over the country. There were the Giant Black Toobs from Seattle, a giant metal lobster from New Mexico, an mesmerizing Balloon Chain from New York, and my favorite, the Gateway from Los Angeles. Each piece is a perfect example of modern day art and all of them made the experience more memorable. After we explored the festival grounds we saw Madeon, Alesso, the Black Keys, and Swedish House Mafia. There was a rumor that the Mafia would include a laser/light system that was illegal last year, they were the first performers ever to use this because it causes people with epilepsy to seizure. If you saw the performance, you know what I'm talking about.
Day 2 seemed like a resting day so we started kind of late. Childish Gambino was awesome, Zeds Dead was absolutely incredible. We went back to the camp grounds after that to change into warmer clothes and came back for Sebastian Ingrosso. I was going to see Ingrosso at the Wavehouse in San Diego but he canceled due to a family emergency. Either way, his set sounded the same as the Mafia so we left early and went to the main stage for the Shins, who were pretty good for a first listen. From the main stage we went to see David Guetta, the number 1 DJ in the world, who threw it down like no other. He's never a disappointment because he ALWAYS puts on a memorable performance because he loves the crowd. Hence, his guest Usher. The best performance of the day goes to Sub Focus. While everyone was at Radiohead and Kaskade, we were the few people at the beginning of Sub Focus, what an honor. He threw down the sickest, hardest, nastiest, filthiest dubstep/drum and bass that I've ever heard live. If you missed it, tough luck there's week 2. It was the most EPIC show thus far.
Day 3, the day that we've been waiting for and the day that we dreaded the most because we didn't want Coachella to end. We started the day with Zedd, Flux Pavilion & Dr. P, Porter Robinson, and I migrated to araabMUZIK solo. Although I don't listen to his music on a daily basis, araabMUZIK was one of my favorite performers. He brings a unique performance not like any other at the festival. Rather than using a MacBook or a turntables, he uses multiple beat pads as he creates his music LIVE. He never looks up, this is real talent. If you ever have a chance to see araabMUZIK take that chance! I ditched DADA LIFE to see him and I have no regrets. Plus he was rockin' a LA Lakers Fitted. Not to mention I got to see Skrillex in the press area. After araabMUZIK's performance I met up with my friends for Nero. This duo was crazy and had the crowd going absolutely wild, to top it off they had a live singer, Alana who tore it up as well. I'm pretty sure I lost my mind at that time. While we were walking to see Justice at the main stage, I came across this stage called The Do Lab. Shit gets kind of weird in The Do Lab but it's fine, it was like the 3 different sizes of ice cream from Cold Stones; I liked it, I loved it, and then I HAD TO HAVE IT. I kicked it in there for a little and all of a sudden Mimosa comes up on stage and plays a 45 minute surprise set! Then I saw KRADDY, who was also one of my favorite performers. He threw down a dirty "N*ggas in Paris" remix that got the crowd giggin'. From there we went to DJ Shadow for a while and then finally, DR. DRE, SNOOP DOGG, WARREN G, KURUPT, WIZ, 50 CENT, KENDRICK LAMAR, EMINEM, and what? TUPAC! My west coast inner child can die happy now that I've seen my favorite performers live. Even though 50 Cent was out of breathe his whole performance, everyone else killed it.
Day 4, Coachella was so awesome that I had to go back the next weekend, so we went Sunday. We did pretty much the same thing but saw Girl Talk, who was pretty good and we also saw Minnesota at the Do Lab. After all is said and done Week 1 was definitely better than Week 2 the surprise factor was a big difference maker.
TOP 10 Performances of Coachella 2012:
1) Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg
2) Sub Focus
3) Zeds Dead
4) Nero
5) KRADDY with Mimosa surprise guest
6) araabMuzik
7) Swedish House Mafia/ Alesso
8) Minnesota
9) Flux Pavilion & Dr. P
10) the Shins
Honorable mention Porter Robinson
Coachella was an awesome experience and I suggest that everyone go at least once in there life. It's not an anti-Christian, Pegan ritual colt gathering for hippies; which is what I was told when I was younger. It's a festival where good, friendly, and drama free people go to have a good time. Where strangers become life-long friends and where mass unity becomes feasible. Everyone is in harmony with the music in the air and attendees are intoxicated with the spirit of Coachella. See you next year Coachella, Thanks for the memories.
5 Things to do on St. Patties Day
on Saturday, March 17, 2012
March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day. Nobody really knows why we celebrate this holiday or who St. Patrick was, it's sort of like Cinco de Mayo, we just celebrate to celebrate. But if you were wondering, St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland and because of this, Ireland made March 17th a holiday. It soon became part of their culture and now we all celebrate. Now that you're a little smarter, here are 5 things you should do during St. Patties Day:
1) Drink: Obviously you should drink. Not drinking would be like not giving presents during Christmas, it's a must. If you drink green beer, that's double points. Beer Gardens, Irish Car Bombs, Guinness, Bailey's, Jamison- these are your choices for the day.
2) Corn Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes: I don't know why but I always ate this on St. Patties day and it's good.
3) Watch The Boondock Saints: Only because it's the best Irish movie ever. Make it a drinking game if you want or use this time to recharge your batteries.
4) Wear GREEN: Don't be a nonconformist, seriously. Unless you hate Irish people...I guess. You're not cooler than the rest of us for not partaking on the festivities. Wear green or don't complain about getting pinched/punched.
5) Kiss an Irish Girl: 1/32th Irish doesn't count and just because she's wearing a, "Kiss me, I'm Irish" shirt, probably doesn't mean she's Irish. Find a pretty Irish girl/guy to kiss and if you can't find one, drink till she/he is good enough!
6) Don't Drink and Drive: Because that shit is stupid and you're going to kill someone. Be safe, call a taxi-double points if it's green.

How To Remove Tagless Labels
on Monday, February 6, 2012
With a low budget and low supply, it's difficult to produce quality products at an affordable price. I'm still experimenting with different products but I like the tagless feel so I chose HANES to embroider my first shirts. In order to present a more professional feel, I had to find a way to remove the HANES label without removing the instructions on how to wash the shirt. Long story short I ended up wrapping the shirt around my iron until the label looked hot. Then I got a rag and rubbed it against the label until it rubbed off. It wasn't that difficult but it was kind of sketchy because you could easily burn yourself doing this, so be careful. After I removed what I wanted, I washed it and now it's ready for the next step, embroidering.
