Akomplice took the the streets of the Democratic National Convention for the coming lookbook. Hypebeast has posted some of the photos in an excellent preview. The event was politically charged, as large numbers of different groups paraded through the streets of Charlotte, trying to get their message heard. Hypebeast‘s version is a toned down representation of the final package, some of the stuff caught on camera was more controversial than what you’ll find in an average lookbook. As much as the pictures show the insanity and tension of what was taking place, you can rest assured the actual event was much crazier than the representation. Expect the full documentation to drop in the coming weeks.

Fashion site and homies Local Distribution put together a nice interview with the JQ and one question direct to Mike Akomplice. Check it out, and keep checking into Local for news.

Ricky Powell will be here, forever [KRS ONE voice]. Yup, the older gentleman’s dusty yet distinguished mug already canonized through photography, has officially spawned a new thread of immortality through anonymous fans tattooing the Rickster and painting murals of him. Over the weekend, an anonymous fan posted a photo on Facebook of The Rickster puffing on a jazz cigarette which included the tattooed caption, “Photo Fumia.” Earlier this summer, a fan painted a tribute to Ricky Powell on the side of a delivery truck. The anonymous fans triggered comments from their icon, as he responded to the tattoo artist, “I wanna have a falafel in Wash Sq Park with him/her.”
