LargeUp TV: Mr. Vegas’ ‘Sweet Jamaica’ Unplugged

Words by Jesse Serwer, Photos and Video by Kevin Ornelas—

Two more clips from Mr. Vegas’ intimate (and awesome) acoustic Sweet Jamaica performance/album preview at Miss Lily’s Variety last Thursday night here. (If you haven’t already, watch part one, his stirring version of Toots and the Maytals’ “Sweet and Dandy”). First up is the title track, followed by one called “Roses In My Garden,” a festival-style tune that Vegas explains took root from some old Eric Donaldson.

Custom Fit: Ralph Lauren x Jamaica Polo Team

Words by Jason “J-Rockaz” Orford

POLO1

It’s Fashion Week here in New York and creativity is blowing all through the air. And not just the centrally-heated air of the various designer events but the brick cold air outdoors as well because in NYC every sidewalk is a runway. I always look forward to spotting the true and understated fashion forwards passing by me on the avenues of the city, game recognizing game with a slight nod between the flyest gals and the most dapper of dons. So consider this little piece of rockers intel to be our tip of the hat to you: CUSTOMIZABLE JAMAICAN POLO TEAM SHIRTS FROM RALPH LAUREN.

Where You Get Dem New Clarks There Baby???

Words By j-RockaZ

babyclarks

True Story: I was on the subway a few days ago tapping some notes into my iPhone, when my personal space was invaded by a little foot, swaying from side to side. This tiny tot had the coolest shoes I peeped all day (and a pacifier to match). I looked closer to find out he was rockin’ a pair of Clarks, the latest fashion on the playground scene. Little man was visiting NYC from England with his Mommy, Gram and Aunty who all happened to be reggae enthusiasts. Well, as soon as I touched the street I hit up Google for a better look. That’s right y’all: Clarks for Kids. Visit the Clarks site to view the available styles. While you won’t find kiddy versions of the Desert Boot or the Wallabee, I’m sure you’ll find something cool and classic for your little one. If you’re a diehard Clarks connoisseur,  you won’t mind the UK shipping costs.

The Bobby Konders Story

Words by Jesse Serwer

Bobby Konders could probably be the subject of his own full-length documentary one day. In the meantime, the homey Dan Bruun (director of the Skerrit Bwoy doc, Temporary Sanity) recently made this short for Current TV.
