Talent Spotlight: U-N-I
What's up folks?
I hope everyone is doing good and keeping their heads to the sky. Your Faze compadres have been graggin' (grinding with swagg) like no other. You know us just trying to get the chess pieces strategically aligned to secure the win. In the midst of all that, we're just trying to pursue our passion and stay dipped in originality.
Speaking of originality, the purpose of this post is to shed light on a Hip-Hop group out of the Los Angeles area that bleeds originality - U-N-I. If you're not up on these cats, you better get a clue. The group consists of "Thurzday" (Yannick Koffi) and “Y-O” (Yonas Michael) and they manage to stay true to themselves in the home of gangsta rap. Go check out their website to find out more - www.yothurz.com.
U-N-I is truly Fearless and Zealous with their craft and it is completely evident in their music. We need more people like them, that are motivated by their passions instead of what's missing from their wallets. You feel me?!? I want to leave y'all with this line - Stay original and true to yourself and others will follow. I know that U-N-I intend to do this and you know your Faze boys intend to do the same. Until next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS people!!!

Fearless or Foolish?...You Be the Judge
What's up y'all?
Considering that summer is coming to a close, I've decided to take you guys down memory lane. Do you remember the old school Slip 'N Slide? Not Trick Daddy's crew but the little water slide that we used to put in our backyards as kids. Well, image that on a gallon on Redline energy drinks and speed. Is this fearless or foolish? You guys be the judge. I say it's crazy as hell, given that it's real footage. Enjoy!

The Bay Area Gets National Shine On MTV Jams
The Bay Area, located in Northern California, is one of our nation's most densely populated metropolitan areas. It is home to the 'Tech Mecca', Silicon Valley and one of the world's most popular tourist destinations - San Francisco. It's been long overdue but 'The Bay', which it is commonly referred to by its residents, gets national recognition from a huge media outlet - MTV. August 2nd (today) was officially declared Bay Day on MTV Jams. This day consisted of nearly 24hrs of music videos from your favorite Bay Area artists. All of today's viewers were spoiled with classics from Bay Area legends, such as 2Pac, E-40, Spice 1, Too Short, Tony! Toni! Toné!, En Vogue, etc. Even the younger generation got its shine today - Big Rich, Mistah F.A.B., Kafani, Locksmith,...the list goes on and on. The most important thing is that the pioneers for a lot of the slang, flow, dress, game, etc. got what they rightfully deserved today - the spotlight.
Twitter, a Bay Area company and one of the most popular social networking sites, played an integral part in the success of MTV's Bay Day. As Mistah F.A.B.'s hit single, "Hit Me On Twitter", was played every hour during the day, 'Bay Day' was catapulted to the number 2 trending topic on Twitter. That's huge considering its vast user base. I personally would like to thank everyone that made Bay Day a reality and also those who showed ongoing support. Without the Bay Area's diversity and originality, Faze Apparel would not exist. BAY UP and stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS people!!!
