World Music Moment: Hamza El Din

Once in a while, during my random internet wandering, I come across some stuff that I think more people should be exposed to. Hamza El Din is one of those. According to Wikipedia, Hamza El Din, "was a Nubian composer, oud player, tar player, and vocalist." He was born in 1929 in Southern Egypt (Nubia) and died in 2006. R.I.P.

Diggy Simmons, the Rapper, the Shoe Designer

If you did not already know, Diggy Simmons, Russell Simmon's son, is on the verge of releasing his own line of shoes (or clothing brand, I am not too sure). So far, there have not been a lot of pictures released of anything relating to the brand, Chivalrous Culture aka Chivculture, except for a small fragment of shoe that Diggy himself posted on his blog, Life of the Jet Setter. From what I can see, it will be some type of burgundy colored sneaker that might look like a pair of AirYeezys or YSLs.
