I had the pleasure to chill with Priscilla Cruz & was introduced to a producer/artist Cristo, at the same time, I hooked them up with some attire then started the meet & greet. I met them at Symphony Studios that they record at, it was an amazing set up, real “OFFICIAL” I can’t stress that word enough. It was the first time I actually chilled & talk shop w/ them but they made it so easy & a fun experience. I got to sit down to have a quick rolling session while Cristo played me some of his beats and I definitlly can rock out. After hearing his work I already knew there will be a lot of big things that’s about to happen and I am honored that they are partaking in the momentous event, we are going to “Swag out w/ our bag out.” I just have to give a big shout out to Priscilla & Cristo for letting me have the honor to listen to their music thank you & also for your support.

After the meet & greet session w/ Precilla & Cristo I had to stop by the Clay Candy Shack and hop on a plane or 10 with the homie Jerm Jilla. When I arrived to the “airport” aka “Clay Candy Shack” that’s my personal nick name for the spot, they were all ready for take off. Jerm was rockin’ the UTBLifestyle hoody w/ the Pyrite hat dope shit I tell you so click the link & support the movement, me & my homies don’t rock nothing weak. But anyways It’s a smoke-a-thon every time me & Jerm connect but it’s a daily thing with this dude. He had some footage of the Wiz Khalifa show that he attended and I will post that up as soon as Jerm puts out the “Day with Jerm Jilla.” I can’t wait for the new “Day W/ Jerm Jilla’s” I know it’s goin to be legendary.

First off I want to give a BIG THANKS to Gus from We Eating, Lady Ray of 106 Kmel and, Dela Cruz Designs for giving Diamonds & Guns the opportunity to participate in the event & for doing an awesome job putting everything together. When I arrived at Azul with the Diamonds & Guns Family it was definitely a great turn out and I really impressed by the set up of the function. Cultivate had art, food, drinks, clothing and musical performances, shout out to my good friends over at Suga Me Sweets. I’m a sucker for Suga Me Sweets I actually traded a Diamonds & Guns crew neck just so I can grab as much as I wanted, yeah it’s that good. For all my Jets, Taylors & Stoners I seriously suggest you look them up because those munchies need to be satisfied, their the next best thing since Krispy Kreme.

But back to the event, it was a blessing to be alongside the rest of the Clothing Brands that were in the fashion show such as The F Word, 4 Fifteen, T.I.T.S , SRxMM, KNOXX and of course my good friend Cecilia’s CA Couture SF. I want to thank the fam J Messy of CW Lifestyle/SMG & Kathleen the Diamonds & Guns assistant, my bro Pep and Arnelle which is affiliated with too many companies to mention for being the best Diamonds & Guns models, ya’ll did the damn thang. Shout out to the Black Grapes fam they had pieces in the show as well as Adapt Advancers and Breezy Excursion also shout out to the all the models, they worked the run ways. I don’t know how you guys changed in the little area you had but great job. I enjoyed checking out what the other brands show casing and was very impressed by what I seen. Shout out to The F Word, I got a chance to finally meet the owners and they showed me much love, I respect these guys a lot because of the substance & direction that they are taking the brand in.

A performer by the name of Priscilla Cruz caught my eye with her style & ear with her songs & voice of course. I honestly can’t describe her style but I was impressed, so I reached out to her and we conversed about future plans of maybe working together on certain projects so stay posted for those updates. After the fashion & performance part of the function it was all fun & games from their minus the dirty little hamsters.

Studio Session With Kaz Kyzah

Diamonds&Guns Co — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 07:53:27 +0000

I woke up still loaded because of the Jerm Jilla session so I just got my creativeness on for a lot of the upcoming projects that the company has for the whole day. Well I tried anyway due to all the errands I had to run since it was Friday but it’s all good still a productive day to say the least. I pick up Kaz & headed over to the studio and I haven’t been to too many studios but this was a real nice set up.

So I get the rolling once I got settled and shout out to In House Productions for the hospitality real solid dude with a real nice/clean work environment. They played a couple of songs so I can get the feel for the whole album and also so I can get my flow of creativeness. Kicking it with Kaz has really changed my perspective on a lot of things in the game & in life he is a real deep down to earth dude, I love meeting new people because of their perspectives you can learn a lot from just one person. It was good witnessing the creative process of the album because it gave me an angle on how to go about the future projects.

I got to play the new Halo the homie House had, it was very different from the old one or maybe it was because of Call of Duty but I picked up quick. I had to get my video game on because I was so loaded shout out to my WEgo fam we still here. It was a great productive night with a lot of more projects that were added to the list so be sure to stay posted to see what The Team & Diamonds & Guns Has in store. Satellite Sessions is the name of their album and it’s nothing but feel good music be sure to watch out for The Teams return because it will be epic. Shout out to Clyde Carson, Kaz Kyzah and, Manish they are making major moves.

There was a mic everywhere

Seeing this booth really made me just want to rap something. Shout out to all the rappers that do their thang in the booth.

Random Day

Diamonds&Guns Co — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 06:52:29 +0000

So I got a call from my homie Kaz Kyzah from the The Team telling me he wanted to meet up & that he wanted some attire so I headed over to his spot in “The Town” that’s Oak CA, for the L 7′s out there. Got to the location chilled for a minute and discussed future plans and what’s in store for The Team & Diamonds & Guns. Sorry can’t disclose the information but just know that there are big things to come in the near future.

After the chill session at Kaz’s crib I headed over to the homie Jerm Jilla’s Clay Candy Shack to see what he was up to & bless him with some dope tree I had. You know what happened next, people have smoking sessions but real G’s have rolling sessions SWAG. I get the rolling while he finishes up a clay candy piece that was of the Chicago Bulls logo & DAMN he really brought that logo to life, every time I see a new piece I’m always amazed at how it looks like real jewelry, every time. After the transaction Jerm started another addition to his mural on his bedroom door. While he’s getting his painter on his dad comes home from the giants game with three game balls from the Giants vs. Braves game which is a pretty good come up in my eyes. Little did I know its a usual thing with the baseball situation, he brought out two big back packs full of practice baseballs & game baseballs some were even autographed. Shout out to Jerm’s dad for getting his out fielder on.

It was a constant/consistent session every time I’m at the Candy Shack but that’s how a Taylor does it and it’s an everyday thing with Jerm. The Homie Cena fr Pink Dolphin came through to hop on the plane and chill for a minute. He also brought over a sample of the beanies that are in their upcoming release, DOPE is all I got to say. It’s always good chillen w/ the homie catching up with the Taylor Gang representative it’s a 1st class flight on a paper plane be sure to stay posted for upcoming projects with Jerm Jilla & Diamonds & Guns.

This Mario Bros. piece is one of my favorites it’s so on point.

You might have seen a Clay Candy piece in Wiz Khalifa’s – Black & Yellow music video I mean check out the psychedelic colors, like I said before on point.

I was sealing up the blunt and I look up and seen the Filthy Dripped tag on the dresser. Shout out to Filthy Dripped they are real veterans in the clothing game much respect they are one of the reasons Diamonds & Guns is out.
