Deer Man cometh in 09
Emerica are dealing with the Darkside for 2009. Cull your Cult today.
For the launch of Justin Eldridge’s new style, éS is honored to present a special Chocolate Skateboards Collaboration with internationally acclaimed artist, Evan Hecox.
Evan’s way of capturing bits and pieces of urban living in his drawings and paintings, then applying them to deck graphics, helped breathe new life into the Chocolate brand in the mid and late ’90’s.
Having shown in galleries around the world, Evan’s artwork still regularly appears on Chocolate decks today and it seems that éS feel truly fortunate to feature it here on Justin’s new shoe with this Chocolate collaboration. Considering how fast Chocolate decks with Evan’s artwork fly off shop walls, we know these shoes won’t be around for long either!
Available from October 2008. Go get ’em!

Set at his Pennsylvanian crib/skatepark, Bam’s or Bust includes new footage from the likes of Mike V, Darrel Stanton, Chris Novak, (my personal favorite) Brent Atchley, Chad Tim Tim, Colin Provost, and of course the man himself, Bam Margera.

Jake One
“You ain’t fucking with them Jake One beats” blasts Freeway on his opening to forthcoming single The Truth, taken from Jake One‘s new album White Van Music and, quite frankly, Freeway knows what’s up.
Jake One has produced across the entire spectrum of hip hop, from G Unit to I Self Devine, even chucking in John Cena’s entrance theme for the WWE. So when he decided to make a record and show just how far he could cast his line, guest spots from the underground’s finest with MF Doom, Slug, Blueprint and Brother Ali to the commercial brightlights with Young Buck, Busta Rhymes and Keak Da Sneak, prove Jake One caught one this big.
Throughout the album, the beats bang but always fit the lyricist on each track, never falling into the trap of cut-and-pasting an accapella over a beat to save time – Slow jams, club bangers, soulful winders, he has laced them all on this record. The track you can hear is the aforementioned single featuring Freeway and Brother Ali, so get to clicking. Hearing a line about the ROC being replied to with a line about the RSE sums up just what Jake One has achieved on this record – Nooks and crannies to lights on Broadway, he brings them together with ease.
Plus this record has MF Doom rapping about steak and you just can’t you fuck with that.
Abjekt.
