GOT IT COVERED: COMPLEX FEBRUARY/MARCH 2012 LANA DEL REY AND A$AP ROCKY AND JEREMY SCOTT

Complex is back with their first issue of their 10th year in the game. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the magazine came out. I can’t wait for the 10th anniversary issue, in the meantime we have two musicians I feel we’ll be hearing about a lot in 2012. Rapper A$AP Rocky joins designer Jeremy Scott on one side while rising pop star Lana Del Rey is on the flipside. I’m a fan of both A$AP Rocky and Jeremy Scott, I’ll be going to A$AP’s show in Toronto on Friday and I recently bought a pair of Jeremy’s Adidas. As for Lana I’m not familiar with her music at all, I think sometime on YouTube will change that. The issue hits newsstands on February 7th but you can read the cover stories now. I added the links below each cover.

SPOTLIGHT WEDNESDAY – N.E.R.D

Way back when Much Music used to play music videos they used to have a show called Spotlight where they would dedicate a half hour to a particular artist and spotlight their music and show various interviews. It was one of my favorite shows on much, it opened me up to so much music. Well I decided to re-name Wednesday video round-up to Spotlight Wednesday. The first artist I decided to profile one of my all time faves N*E*R*D. I have all their albums including two copies of In Search Of all signed by Pharrell. Here are all of the bands videos. My favorites are in the top 5 and the rest are after.

MAYBE (My personal favorite N*E*R*D song.)

FASHION FILES: DELUXE SPRING/SUMMER “RUM AND SUGAR”

I did a post about Japanese clothing brand Deluxe last year, for their fall/winter collection. I loved all of their pieces from that collection. Their new spring/summer 2012 collection entitled “Rum and Sugar” is a another great run. I like the colours they chose for their pieces, I’m not a fan of the tote or the ankle length pants but everything else is good. Unfortunatley we can’tget Deluxe in Toronto but you can find it all over the world or purchase it via their online store.

The new March issue of XXL features the late great Christopher Wallace better known as the Notorious B.I.G.. It’s still crazy to think it’s been 15 years since he’s been gone. XXL has done a great job with their tribute issues, they have over 40 never before seen pics, interiews with his kids and more. Should be a good one, it’s out February 7th.
