Frank Ocean Covers Fader Magazine


The breakout star of the Odd Future crew, Frank Ocean is having the best week ever. His song-stealing hooks on Watch The Throne began the week as the album dropped, and now Frank scores his first magazine cover courtesy of the FADER. Check out an excerpt from the cover story after the jump.
When he was nine, Frank Ocean’s godfather subscribed him to Robb Report, a magazine for the ultra-rich. Less interested in fiduciary smarts, it’s a catalog of conspicuous consumption, highlighting tropical vacations, invaluable antiques and, as Ocean came to know, really expensive cars. Though he comes from a middle class family, he obsessively read the magazine’s classified ads, fixating on exorbitantly priced used Bentleys and Maybachs. “I would just fall in love with all their cars. That was the start.” Ocean, whowas born Christopher Breaux (and goes by Lonny to friends), downscaled his material desires, and when he was 13, began going door-to-door, detailing cars for cash. “I would bring all my supplies. Literally, it was like a movie, I had a wagon, those long red wagons, like a Radio Flyer-type wagon, and I used to buy my own soaps.”

Kevin Durant Vs Heckler At Nike Pro City


After Kevin Durant scored 66 points at the Rucker, the Oklahoma City giant went out to silence any hater who dared to speak at the Nike Pro City game. Got ‘Em Coach captured a little battle KD had with an annoying fan, who was forced to eat his words after the Thunder forward drained a clutch game-tying three that forced OT. Check it out.

{Model Monday} Unique Beauty

"Unique Beauty"

This young lady has eye-catching beauty and diverse dance potential. Raised in a multi-talented family that is musically inclined and talented Unique was destined to pursue what she believed in. She began dancing at the age of 4, where she watched music videos that motivated her to dance like Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul and SWV. Since those years she has went over with her mom time and time again how her dance skills will get them out of what some would consider “The Ghetto”. Never been one to just enjoy a certain style of music, Unique moves and sways to all genres of music.

I know you as readers are wondering "If Unique loves dancing, when did modeling come into play?" Since high school and watching runway shows, television castings and looking through pictures....Unique wanted to take on this quest as well. Taking up fashion design just pushed her further into the adventure of this intriguing profession. Each year the urge grew fonder but she needed that extra push to get her started. With the help of Unique’s mom (being her backbone) and Candie Davis as her Manager, she was all for it with that support she took it upon herself to do runway shows, photo shoots and appear in numerous videos.

What's great about this young lady "Unique Beauty" is ready to take the world by storm with her talent and beauty. Image is everything but being self-confident makes beauty and talent way more then skin deep. Get Ready World!!!!

Jay-Z Partners With Billionaire Boys Club

Jay-Z partners with Billionaire Boys Club. The collaborations have have been dropping left and righ. With Jay-Z and Kanye dropping an album soon, Jay adds more to his plate with partnering up with Pharrell on Billionaire Boys Club. I can say I like the sound of this. Im excited to see what is in store. “BBC won’t be on the shelves of large department stores simply because it’s under the Roc umbrella. But this is the backing that most streetwear brands don’t have, which has lead to many shutting their doors in recent years. “
