BBC has compiled their Sound of 2012 list and Frank Ocean came in on the second place.

“Frank Ocean has come 2nd in the BBC Sound of 2012. Christopher Francis Ocean is set to finally establish himself as a solo artist of Worldwide acclaim in 2012. The 24 year-old OFWGKTA member moved from Louisianna to Los Angeles following hurricane Katrina to work on his first album, and legally changed his name from Christopher “”Lonny”" Breaux shortly after.

In L.A. the singer soon hooked up with the Odd Future collective and began work writing for the likes of Brandy, John Legend and most recently Beyonce on I Miss You. Ocean was also called up to work on two tracks from Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne.

Collaborations aside, it was Ocean’s solo work which garnered most praise. Signed to Def Jam in 2009, Ocean delivered his debut mixtape nostalgia,ULTRA earlier this year, winning fans on both side of the Atlantic, including Zane Lowe, who debuted tracks from the release on Radio 1 in November.”

In the video here below they sat down with the artist in LA and compiled a very informative video with Ocean. Check it out!

This past week the BBC aired their documentary on Apple’s founder and visionary Steve Jobs, entitled ‘Billion Dollar Hippy’. The documentary tells the story of how Jobs grew up balancing his interests in the tech monster of Silicon Valley and the Californian countercultural hippie movement. The hour long documentary includes lots of great insight and behind the scenes looks, as well as high profile interviews. Well worth taking the time to watch it. Enjoy!

First pieces of the new BBC/Ice Cream Fall 2008 collection are getting into stores today. The first thing that jumps into the eye is their new Mid cut sneaker. In this first delivery it comes in a red/white and a black/white colorway. They also released their deck sneaker in two canvas colorways – red and black. All footwear comes with a "Diamond & Dollars" all-over print on the upper.
Matching the new sneaker line-up, BBC/Ice Cream offers a range of luggage, including duffle bags and backpacks, in red, black as well as military green.
In our modest opinion, the silhouettes of the footwear are good, just give them a more subtle design and you are good to go.
Leaders has the entire range in stock now.
Detailed views of all sneakers and the bags follow after the jump.

Just the other day we showed you the leather boat shoes by Billionaire Boys Club, which we definitely liked. Now they released them also in a canvas version in three colorways – beige, olive and denim. The idea to bring the boat show in canvas and denim is great, but again, if they could just have left out the diamond & dollar all-over print. Well, you can’t have it all.
Have a look at the third colorway after the jump.

The classic duffle bag is still a nice companion for a day on the beach. Billionaire Boys Club has released their version of it in denim and also in two colorways in canvas. They could have held back a little with the diamond all-over print, but otherwise its a really nice duffle bag with leather accents.
These are now available in the BBC online store.

Boat shoes seems to be a trend this year, not that they were ever gone, but brands that one would usually not find in this space, are adding the classic to their collections.
Billionaire Boys Club is one of them and has just released today their version of the boat shoe in their online store. It comes in two colorways and fuses the classic boat shoe upper with a more sneaker inspired sole. We enjoy the subtle branding, something one cannot always say about the brand.
Check out more pics after the jump.
