If you ain’t familiar then get familiar with Raleigh, NC’s own King Mez. Just like with J. Cole, I feel confident enough with Mez putting North Carolina on the map also. Peep the first lead off single featuring one of 9th Wonder’s artist, Thee Tom Hardy, called “Nowhere to Go”. This will be from The Paraplegics album, which will all be produced by Commissioner Gordon. Support NC Hip Hop!

Oh, there’s plenty of these dudes on the internetz (specifically Twitter), in the clubs and various other places. LOL! If you know me, this is probably one of favorite words to use…especially while watching live sporting events, explaining a n*ggas behavior to him or telling wifey what I want! This beat is definitely tough though. A Love Supreme 2.0 coming March 9th? Damn, what happened to the February date? *shrugs*

While at Huntington Beach’s Agenda Tradeshow, SoJones caught up with “new kids on the block” (sorta), Boston-based SOP (Society Original Products). These dudes have some pretty fresh sh*t releasing for their spring and Holiday 2010 lines. Check it out!

*Late Pass* One of last year’s biggest and most popular vinyls, hands down, had to be those from MINDstyle and Michael Lau’s The Godfather Art Toy Collectible – with the blessings of Paramount Pictures. For 2010, the much talked about 2.0, all-white vinyl of Vito Corleone will be available in February. This fine art piece is limited to 300 pieces worldwide. But, you can pre-order now from Sideshow Collectibles.

Hit the cut for another look. BOOM BAP!

Jordan Brand is releasing the Air Jordan 2010 in a colorway dedicated to the company’s poster boy for the year, Dwayne Wade. The upper features white perforated leather and red leather heel and toe caps. Along with that are hits of red patent leather for a little bit of pop. They sit on a black midsole finished off with a red outsole. Release date is soon to come.
