Concepts x New Balance Release Party

frankthebutcher — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:28:15 +0000

With the upcoming highly anticipated release of the Concepts x New Balance “Freedom Trail” pack collaboration, we decided to throw a little pre-release party at Club Sanctuary in Boston. The turn out was amazing and the legendary Bounce Master Dj Doo Wop and Boston’s own Brek.One tore the spot down. Big shouts the New Balance team for holding us down, Paulina @ Sanctuary, Frankie, Brand Nation, Brek.One and Doo Wop (BSA 2010!) for the great night.

Remember: The Freedom Trail pack will be available 11/27 (Black Friday)

Good Wood x The Butcher’s Block

frankthebutcher — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:51:31 +0000

You ever had a good idea? Probably not as good as this one.

My good friend Chris Lee from CtotheJL and Good Wood blessed the kid (literally…) with 3 exclusive laser engraved Jesus pieces. Now, I’ve had these for a few weeks but been hadn’t had the chance to post them— I’m usually faster than that!

Peep the ultra limited red joint— fire (not in a sacrilegious way obviously)…

Hit Good Wood and CtotheJL for the scoop on how you could be saved.

Thanks Chris!

“Number One” featuring Ro Spit, Curt@!n$, Big Sean (Good Music) and Bun B (UGK)

frankthebutcher — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:41:49 +0000

If you’ve been keeping up with me, you may have realized I dabble in music. It’s my passion but unfortunately it’s lower than a few other things on my priority list. Hopefully that will change because music production is a total creative release and opportunities like this wake the sleeping beast inside.

Big shouts to Ro Spit (What? Don’t know? You will soon!), my man Curt@!n$, Big Sean of Good Music and my big homie Bun B (good looks my dude!!).

Ro Spit’s “The Oh Shit Project” is fire and will be released this Tuesday.

Special shout to my little bro Paul Mighty. If I produced it he was most likely there making sure I’m on point. Fam.

Jay Z’s Blueprint 3 Tour | Providence

frankthebutcher — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:05:45 +0000

Jay Z, Wale, Nerd and J.Cole had a stop on the Blueprint 3 tour in Providence on Saturday. Great show and great seats thanks to my man Wale (and thanks for the shout during your show!).

Do you know what happens at a Hov show? Hits after hits after hits… a break… then more hits…!

She’s a big fan of Jay Z— but she still likes me more.

New Balance / 686 @ Concepts

frankthebutcher — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:04:32 +0000

To celebrate the east coast launch of the 686 / New Balance collaboration we threw a little “get to together” at Concepts. Big thanks to Lauren, Lou, Jenn, Kristina and Allison of New Balance and Kristin of 686 for making this happen.

Pete with number 22 and 96 on the official “What White People Like” list. Ok…22 is “microbreweries” but the list maker needs to research how white people react to PBR… incredible. New Balance should definitely be higher on the list too. Just my own observations….

Fresh had to put the “swoosh” away for the event. Wasn’t too happy about it either

1994.

frankthebutcher — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 17:10:31 +0000

This is how I feel right now.

I live in the world of premium denim, tier zero sneakers and thousand dollar outerwear…

…. but I remember a world that was simple…

A world where a fresh pair of Timbs, a thick (you know the exact version I’m talking about) Champion hoodie, and an army M-65 was being dipped. I walked my city at all hours of the night with a Jansport normally filled with mixtapes (not mix-CDs), a black book (a graffiti sketch book) and ultra flat black Krylon spray paint. Where I was never without my Sony Walkman, box cutter and just enough money to barely eat. All we did was hang out, paint and talk shit.

Nas’ Illmatic was my religion and Carhartt was my garb. My way of life was bombing freight trains and roaming the darkest parts of my city. The Source Magazine was the map to the promise land and the Nike Air Force One was yet to be available to anyone that wanted to be cool.

My youth was about discovering the new and the next, not reliving a previous trend. It was about living what you believed and finding your voice. It was about dissecting your favorite album word for word and line for line reading every single production credit and liner note.

This is when being “you” meant something…. being “myself” was mandatory…. and “biting” wasn’t aloud.

Basically the opposite of today.
