Lemar & Dauley have released a whole mess of stylistic insanity over at Cream. Nice tees, good looking for the summer with the throwback styles and images of classic rap artists, smooth, good stuff to wear if you’re hitting bowls; made of cement, packed with kush or filled to the brim with ramen, whatever. All we need now is a feelgood hit from Naughty By Nature and we’re set for the next four months.

Phenomenon is releasing a reversable camo-mesh style hoodie in two colours, with patterns true to the wilderness but fit for the street. These designs are definitly more “duck hunt” than the ghetto soldier style camo that have been in vogue ever since rappers started wearing ski goggles in the city for no good reason.
