Last night the sold out concert for A$AP Rocky at Irving Plaza was spectacular. Fans lined up anxiously to get inside the venue, they were in for a big surprise. Not only did they get to see A$AP Rocky and the A$AP Mob live, but they got to see the Flatbush Zombies & Danny Brown open up for him and also the surprise guests Bun-B and Waka Flocka Flame. A$AP Rocky has come along way since his summertime stardom, you can only imagine how good it feels for him to sell out a show in his hometown and receive nothing but love from the city that raised him. Below are some awesome photos taken by our good friend Awol Erizku.

One thing that’s great about Barrel House Bklyn’s shows is the female presence, their shows have a large female following that are actually aware and fans of  real hip hop. If you take a look at the footage below you’ll see for yourself that their shows aren’t your average hip hop showcase, it’s an all out jam!

After the in store event, head over to the after party at Tammany Hall

This year’s Agenda Tradeshow had yet another great turnout. It showcased new collections from over 100 different street wear brands. Many up and coming, O.G’s and newborns were all showcased under one roof. For the past two years Agenda’s tradeshow in NYC was held on the same days as the Capsule tradeshow. Now, this year it was held in a new location on the west side of lower Manhattan on a different day. The opening day was extremely packed, so we visited on the second day when everything was a bit more calm. Many popular brands such as 10 deep, Mishka, Amongst Friends, BlackScale, Huf and Diamond Supply gave us a sneak peek into their new collection for 2012. Many new emerging brands such as the hip hop star Lil Wayne’s “Trukfit” line and Moss premiered their new line at the show. We got a chance to talk with many well known brands and even Agendas president Aaron Levant that attended the 20K + guest tradeshow.

This year it seems like all of the brands are going for more of a comfortable stylish look with unique patterns, detailed design and top notch fabrics. Most brands are aiming for a wider age range and variety of people. Check out who caught our eye below and enjoy. See you next year!
