Wiz Khalifa Tour 2010

Rostrum Records, in association with iHipHop Distribution and Frank 151, is proud to announce Wiz Khalifa’s official “Deal Or No Deal” tour. After reaching #1 on the iTunes Hip Hop Charts in November, Wiz is setting out on this 40 city tour in support of the ground-breaking album. Wiz's grassroots rise to fame has led to sold out shows across the country. "The reaction we've gotten so far has been extraordinary," remarks Benjy Grinberg, President of Rostrum Records. "Pre-sales are through the roof and the excitement for the tour has been amazing to witness."

In conjunction with the commencement of Wiz's tour, we're excited to announce the release of his highly anticipated video for "This Plane." Wiz's album release shows and previous tour dates were captured by his fans and edited together with incredible performance footage to create this amazing visual. The video documents the grind that Wiz has undertaken to get to where he is today.

You can catch Wiz Khalifa, along with support from Yelawolf (second leg), Wu Tang legend U-God and DJ/MC Jasmine Solano in the following cities. More dates to come.

New Frank 151 : Middle East

Frank 151 is a way of life. These guys really go to these places and meet these people to come up with this magazine for the masses.

With vast sections of the Middle East marred by violence and struggle, many Westerners view the region as a chaotic, lawless land. Without delving into the West’s role in the chaos, most would agree that popular Western opinion of the Middle East is overwhelmingly negative, and often informed by what is covered in the mainstream media. While portions of the Middle East are embroiled in serious conflicts, the region is also home to some of the oldest and richest cultures in the world.

Guest curated by Mohammad Dagman, Frank Book Chapter 39 presents a unique view of the Middle East, with an emphasis on Arabic culture. Stories will range from a little-known though magnificent ancient city carved into rocks in Saudi Arabia, Arabic tags found on New York City streets, high-end auto technicians in Kuwait, professional athletes, poets, skaters, notable militants, and much more. Frank151 dived directly into the heart of the Arab world, providing a never-before-seen look into Arabic thought, art, literature, and trends.

POME duck boots by Danny Peguero

POME duck boots check out the styles we have in store now below.

NEW SHIT! We here at Time Bomb are dedicated to bringing the streets the truth, the truth happens to be boots right now! POME is an acronym for product-of-my-enviroment, these boots were designed by street favorite Danny Peguero. These boots definitely have that 1995 Polo-Helly Hensen-Hilfiger nostalgia that we all can relate to. The colors are great for the fall and very easy to wear. Whether you know it or not you've probably already rocked many of Danny's swag for the streets. He’s the COOGI’s top designer, Co-owner/Creative director of his own line called ‘Lavie’ which we also carry in the store. One of his biggest take downs had to be the re-designing and dropping of that good old ‘8 Ball’ Leather jacket. Now take this information and check us out on TIMEBOMBSHOP where the POME duck boots are retailing for $109.

Also here is some information on Lord Finesse so you can be fully educated of his greatness!

Lord Finesse is a Hip hop artist and producer, hailing from The Bronx, New York, best known as the leader of the D.I.T.C. rap crew. In 1989, Finesse and his former partner DJ Mike Smooth signed to Wild Pitch Records, home to other popular Hip Hop artists like Gang Starr, Main Source, Chill Rob G, Percee P and O.C.. In 1990, the duo released their debut album Funky Technician. The album featured production from future star beat-makers DJ Premier, Diamond D and Showbiz. Soon after, Finesse formed the popular New York underground crew D.I.T.C., an acronym for 'Diggin In The Crates', together with Showbiz & AG and Diamond D. Future members included Fat Joe, O.C., Buckwild and the late Big L.

Finesse returned as a solo artist in late 1991 with his second effort, Return of the Funky Man. The album featured guest appearances from Percee P and AG. The album's title track peaked at #13 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. Return of the Funky Man also included a couple of songs that were produced by Finesse himself, and this would be the start of a career as a much respected hip-hop producer. In 1994 Finesse made a production appearance on The Notorious B.I.G.'s classic debut Ready to Die, on the track Suicidal Thoughts. In 1995, he produced a big portion of Big L's debut album Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, including the single M.V.P. and also made an appearance on one of the album's highlight songs "Da Graveyard". He finally returned as an artist in 1996 with the now rare 12" single Check The Method and then the acclaimed album The Awakening. Finesse produced the entire album himself, and enlisted a large number of guests, including O.C., KRS-One, MC Lyte, Akinyele, Showbiz and A.G., Diamond D and Kid Capri. The underground single Actual Facts, featuring Sadat X, Grand Puba and Large Professor, was included as a hidden track on the album.

Finesse hasn't released a studio album since this effort, but has continued his production work. In 1997, he produced the title track to O.C.'s acclaimed effort Jewelz and also the track "Channel 10" off of Capone-n-Noreaga's debut The War Report. Finesse released a mixtape called Diggin' On Blue in 1999. Later in the year, he produced the track The Message on Dr. Dre's seminal 2001 album. Finesse is currently working on a Funky Technician remix project, as well as a new D.I.T.C. album. Along with these projects, he and DJ Premier are working on a posthumous Big L album.

In 1998, Finesse provided the vocal sample on the hook to The Rockafeller Skank, a hit single by British musician Fatboy Slim from his album You've Come a Long Way, Baby. The song features Finesse's repeated line "Right about now, the funk soul brother. Check it out now, the funk soul brother".

Lord Finesse returned to the mic on Handsome Boy Modeling School's album White People in 2004. He was featured on the song entitled "Rock 'N' Roll (Could Never Hip-Hop Like This) pt. 2, collaborating with famous old-school DJ's Grand Wizard Theodore and Jazzy Jay. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park make appearances, as well as Rahzel of The Roots.
