After Supreeme killed the live show, our boys Melo X and Treats held it down on the wheels spinning hot fiyah dancehall from when we all remember. 5 words for you...Here comes the Hot Steppa! Then we moved on to APT, where Rich Medina packed a full house as usual. Familiar faces, new faces, and so many stories! ooohhhhhweeeeee....this season is off to a great start.

Cinco De Mayo Goodies!

ooowee, yesterday was beeyootiful- a lil' on the cold side but pretty all the same. (we've been more than a lil' obsessed with the weather lately. but can you blame us?? summer in the city's always the bomb dot com.

we rolled through to Dom's booth at the Hell's Kitchen flea market and copped some hot lil ###'s! (big ups to the beehive and triple LeXXX for stopping by! xo....love you ladies) all of the booths were pretty cool, from $10 dresses and sunglasses (heeello Porsche Carrera?!) to vintage Vargas girl matchbooks (we had to have a few!) plus old super 8 and polaroid cameras.....

wowee! folks.... the weather's beautiful. folks are starting to wear less and less.....strangers on the subway are quick to offer springtime smiles as opposed to the familiar wintery scowls and we here at NOU LA are honored to offer you some brand new ish.

Also, this film is almost 2 years in the making, but it is surely worth the wait. Premiering in June, here is the first sneak peek of "WORD?! I Didn't Know (__________) Could Get Down Like That"!, a documentary film that explores Hip Hop culture's role as a unifying (and sometimes divisive) force across cultural borders and language barriers. Filmed during the winter of 2005/2006, the crew of "WORD?!" embarked upon a "road trip" to Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa, the Netherlands, Rome, Paris, and London to interview Emcees, DJs, Beatboxers, B-boys, Writers, and Hip Hop fans alike. Featuring M-1 and stic.man of Dead Prez, Umi of P.O.W., Aloe Blacc, DJ Shamiel X, Juma4 and Mustafa Maluka of AfricanHipHop.com, Archetypes, Nat, Fifth Floor, DJ BlaQ T of MuthaFM, Lucky, MC G-Max of Flaminio Mafia, Senna, Lee and Kenzhero of YFM, Rajae el Mouhandiz, Bad Brya, 3 Mans Kappe, Pan-Africans and many others.....

Nasty Wednesday!

So waking up on the wrong side of the bed this morning wasn't the greatest. However, finding this hidden gem from good 'ol 1982 made it all better. LOVE, PEACE and SOUL to all the nasty girls out there.
