Sneaker Freaker & Skratch Bastid present The Starter Era: Dope Raps 1989-1993

Our good friends Down Under at Sneaker Freaker have teamed up with a fellow Canadian friend of ours, the one and only Skratch Bastid to produce this amazing mix tape “The Starter Era” for SF’s 22nd magazine issue. Check out what the Bastid had to say about the mix below:

“Issue #22 of international kick-head bible Sneaker Freaker magazine features a 17-page spotlight on Starter athletic wear and how it changed the sports fashion game. To accompany the story, they asked me to make a mix featuring rap jams from Starter’s prime, 1989-1993, to be included with the magazine in physical form. It features classic & overlooked bangers from one of hip-hop’s golden eras, alongside some of the original tunes they sampled and exclusive remixes. You’ll know what’s going down from the intro.”

The Hundreds presents Gilbert Forte: Some Dreams Never Sleep

The Hundreds has partnered with rising hip-hop artist Gilbere Forte to present his newest EP entitled “Some Dreams Never Sleep”. Beyond an apparel brand, The Hundreds is considered a lifestyle project, influenced by a spectrum of youth culture’s defining traits – with flagship stores on both the west and east coasts of the United States, drawing inspiration from hip-hop culture, and the pre-existing friendship between Forte and The Hundreds, it’s only natural for The Hundreds to join forces with the Philadelphia-based artist.

Forte, who first garnered attention from the hip hop industry with his debut album “87 Dreams” has since gained notoriety as a guest on a slew of tracks by well-known artists, including: Stromae’s “Alors On Danse” remix, also featuring Kanye West; the Yeasayer remix of Florence + The Machine’s “Dog Days Are Over;” and the Diplo-produced “Up All Night” by Alex Clare. The “Some Dreams Never Sleep EP” is the third official release from Gilbere and has already created a buzz with the remix to his breakout single “Black Chukkas,” featuring Asher Roth and Bun B. The song is only a taste of what to expect from the mixtape which features production from Don Cannon, Raak and more, and appearances by Pusha T, Jim Jones, Big K.R.I.T., Casey Veggies, Tyga and others.

SKERRIT BWOY: Every generation there comes an undeniable talent, that changes the face of entertainment. In the Bronx, SKERRIT BWOY along with his GHETTO LIFE ENTERTAINMENT is ushering in a dancehall renaissance. Dedicated, talented, original, & unpredictable are juss a few words that come to mind after spending five minuets at one of his shows.

If you have yet to visit the Bronx, don’t worry because the voice of the Bronx is well on its way to you. “Short, black, an’ ugly” is how he introduces himself. SKERRIT BWOY a.k.a. MR. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE exploded on the international dancehall scene in 2005, with his sound system GHETTO LIFE.

Celebrated for his maniacal, competitive style, and supercharged comical juggling, this likkle bwoy is one of the most loved and feared in the business. “Ooooh Wooooh” can be heard spewed throughout rammed dancehalls, accompanied by custom dub plates, 45 LPs, & side-splitting chatter. Many dread their initial meeting of SKERRIT BWOY, while others look forward to his vibrant spirit.
