Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def has recently started a design collaborative with some of his friends, called Fellowship Mission. The goals of the collective are not exactly clear yet, but Fellowship Mission is supposed to be their new creative outlet, mostly for things that happen outside of music. The first product to come out of it is the Harun -No.7-  fragrence that Yasiin worked on with his good friend Chace Infinite.

“The oils are bottled in Brooklyn, NY the cultural epicenter of America’s greatest city and contain Imported Attar from the Kamauj Uttar Padesh region of India. Harun -no. 7- is 100% natural and is free of alcohol and chemicals. In the tradition of the original oils (attar) Harun -No.7- can be used a a fragrance for the body. or burned in the home.”

Of course Union is among the very first to carry the fragrance. Here below we present a video from a trip by Yasiin Bey and Chris Gibbs from Union to Paris. Yasiin talks about Fellowship Misson, so check it out.

Addiction Incorporated is a powerful and true story about a scientist, Victor DeNoble, who in 1980 was hired by a major tobacco company, but ultimately went on to become one of the most important whistleblowers in history.

…he was testifying in front of Congress that, despite the sworn testimony of the industry’s chief executives, nicotine was addictive… and the research he did could prove it.

Definitely one to look out for.

Previous releases between Union Los Angeles and Mark McNairy have been big hits, so why not keep it going, right? This time around, the two hooked up to on 4 new styles, as well as a restocking of the popular “Blue Bey” saddle shoe. In an interesting move, Union, along with Luke Meier, took a classic country brogue and freaked it a bit with the addition of some color pop — including red against a sand color and a light blue against a navy upper — in the welt area with some laces to match. All in all, it’s another solid drop from both of these great labels. These are all currently available at Union.

2011 saw some pretty good to great releases throughout the year. The status quo remains with anything Call of Duty ruling over all, and when we say all, we mean pretty much all of entertainment. Here’s an interesting fact pertaining to that notion: the latest release from the gaming franchise was Modern Warfare 3, which took 16 days to break 1 billion dollars in sales. In doing so, it surpassed Avatar, which grossed that amount in 17 days. That’s power right there. Recently, MW3 won the VGA’s ‘Best Shooter’ award beating out stiff competition with Battlefield 3, Rage and Gears of War 3. That is a pretty debatable, though. MW3 is loaded with flaws be it a horrible respawn system, or the continued appearance of death streaks, which in essence, rewards bad gameplay. When you really think about it, Battlefield and Gears are probably more sound and enjoyable, but there’s something about Call of Duty that keeps you coming back. Now that the game has been out for over a month now, it’s not uncommon to hear about people jumping ship from MW3, but the thing is, they’re not going back to other popular franchises — they’re going back to the previous CoD release, Black Ops.
