West coast funk duo 7 Days Of Funk, comprised of Snoop Dogg and Dam-Funk dropped off a funky New Year’s Day joint for us with “In My System”. The track has that good ol’ easy, west coast lowrider sound, along with a hard hitting Daz Dillinger 16. It’s perfect for cruising around town this weekend or as a late night turn up. Catch it below.

 Polyester the Saint dropped his album P.O.P. earlier this summer and it was a true treat. Polyester has all the trappings of the classical Southern pimp persona – silky rhymes, smooth delivery, confidence – but without [most of] the characteristic misogyny. Plus he has an excellent ear for beats, especially if you like listening to music while driving.

A deluxe version of P.O.P. is dropping on August 20 with new songs, including “Late Night Dippin’ ” (Dam-Funk Remix) which features a new verse from Kurupt and a new, funky instrumental courtesy of Dam-Funk.  Listen to “Late Night Dippin’ ” below and stream P.O.P in full if you like what you hear (you will).

For their Fall 2012 Collection, Stussy has chosen to draw their inspiration from the 1990’s comic series The Real Deal. With a story line by H.P McElwee (R.D Bone) and illustrations by  Lawrence Howard (Raw Dawg), The Real Deal is a rarity in the comic book world, for it is one of the only contemporary independent comics published and created by African Americans. Published under the genre of “Urban Terro,r” the world of The Real Deal is “as underground as underground gets” depicting  Los Angeles underworld life with deadpan visceral humor and gross-out violence. It’s this raw, crude, unadulterated, humor that has given The Real Deal a cult like following with only 6 issues in print since 1989.

Stussy will use Howard and McElwee’s vision on a series of  The Real Deal T-shirts, with four designs featuring the same edgy imagery  found in the comic. Here, the Stussy-Real Deal apparel will cost $24 a shirt. And just in case you still don’t know how awesome this shirt series is going to be, Stussy has blessed us with a short documentary video, detailing the secrets behind the story of The Real Deal. The video is narrated by Raw Dawg himself, with music by Los Angeles Funkmaster, Dam Funk!
