A Hip Hop production blog based in Seattle. The mission is to to inspire, educate, and connect other passionate artists.
I apologize for the quality of these pictures. All I had to use was a 6+ year old Olympus camera. Your looking at the process of picking up the raw cases from the factory, transporting them home, inspecting and then packaging each one, and lastly shipping them out.
40+ hours was logged by my friends and family who helped me get this work done. I count this as a major success and it was all done in time to get the Crucial Case into The Mac Store by Monday.

In an earlier post I told you that I was deeply involved in work not related to this blog and not related to music. I can’t give you the whole scoop yet. It will all come out VERY shortly. What I can share is this tantalizing photo of what is being produced and what will be available very soon.
I wish that I could tell you all about it right not but it is just not time yet. Check back.
And in case your wondering what “Chima” is, that’s my last name.

Big Sean is the best poster boy that BBC and Bape have, that is undisputed. I have never doubted his fashion game.
But when he came onto the scene rapping on finally famous I had my doubts. I felt Sean was all sizzle and no steak. He was just seemed too kicked back and chill.
The dude has grind. He put in work in the college circuit next to Mike Poisner, Kid Cudi, and Drake. It couldn’t have felt good to watch his fellow freshman piers (who started class the same day as him) graduate and reach a higher level of notoriety and critical acclaim than him.
Despite that Big Sean continued undeterred shouting and “finally famous.” Gripping hard to this movement that I am not sure even his biggest fans identify with or  feel attached to.
Well, that was how I felt then based off of what the man was offering but this song changes things. I see the potential Kanye saw in him when he signed him to G.O.O.D. Music. Give it a listen and let me know if you feel me.
Finally Famous Vol III drops August 15

Every time West drops an album it becomes Kanye West season in the time leading up to the release. You see him everywhere! His quotes make headlines, his performances make it into countdowns, he shuts shit down.
So because Kanye is one of my favorite artists please expect his presence on the blog in the coming months. Two things that I find notable about his uStream chat is 1) that he want ahead and shared some unreleased material and 2) he opens up about his creative process. In a process unique to him he looks at visual stimuli to spark inspiration.
