and even though i laugh it off, man its probably true.
A shot of Drake’s Aaliyah tattoo surfaced last month. Now a workin in progress Drizzy gave us a closer look at his back tats, which include Aaliyah’s face, a bird in flight, and the OVO owl. It looks like he has been working out as he prepares to launch his “Club Paradise” tour in Miami on Valentine’s Day
Drake’s love for Aaliyah is no secret. As evident when he sampled Aaliyah’s “At Your Best (You Are Love)” on his debut Thank Me Later, on the Unforgettable, one of my personal favourties. Aaliyah’s face appears on the left side of his back with a pair of wings above it. Now he’ll always have an angel watching over him.
Awesome Hood.

spotted this amazing coat by italian designer/illustrator Joeseph Madeo. Comes in Black and White. The over emphasis on the hood gives it a bestial effect. Available to view but unfortunately not buy…here.
She got it written on her…

This is raw. Nothing else. “Banned in the USA!!! They tried to play me fam! They don’t want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!” tweeted Yeezy before posting the controversial artwork. Capture his 6th studio album dropping November 22.
Oh you fancy, huh?

My favourite off the album 
especially the bit where he breaks it d-o-w-n. Trey suprised fans buy bringing Drizzy out on stage during his show in LA.
The single comes out in the uk on October 11th! The artwork features fancy red heels and if you look closely the woman has a young angel tattoo on her heel. Artwork again done by Darkie.

Bruno Mars’ career maybe about to take off into the stars as this cover suggests. Doo-Wops & Hooligans is set to drop on the 5th of October. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter behind B.o.B’s “Nothin’ on You” and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” is already living up to the hype with the project’s first single “Just the Way You Are,” which currently sits at No. 6 this week on the Billboard Hot 100. I love the simplicity of the cover and it seems just right. Not too fancy, but not lacking either
