Solo x P.A.C

Woo-haa! Due to some incredibly spiked traffic, (Thanks, Skool'd for the C.C.I. promotions! Once again, go check them outtt!) we felt like this would be a good time to take our new-found popularity and pass it on to some great accolades that we've grown extremely fond of -- Solo Co. + Purple Asteroid Cadillac. We're going for the double shot here.

Solo Co.'s bringin' some more heat that, and you're gonna shit your pants thoroughly enjoy what he's got in store. Check out this shirt (back), complete with a fresh P.A.C. logo and the growingly-famous Solo panda bear :



And to protect your eyes from busta's and style-biters everywhere :

Skool'd - Cedar Falls Swaggin'

Skool'd

Hip-hop/Funk/Contemporary
(Cedar Falls, IA)

A couple days ago, Abby Frerichs dropped us a line regarding some Cedar Falls-based rap stars known as Skool'd. Now, seeing as Abby's pretty credible (check out the top posts to your right), we knew we had to give these dudes a listen.

Our verdict? Absolutely baller. With five-star productions reminiscent of an early-90's Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics, Skool'd is a monster trio, drawing influence from all areas of hip-hop, including A Tribe Called Quest, Notorious B.I.G., Kid Cudi, and Jay-Z.

Take a trip to the new-school old-school :
