Portraits of the Homeless by Lee Jeffries (Via Wine & Bowties)
(all photos and post found from wineandbowties.com) Lee Jeffries has moved something in me with these photos. What is so striking about them are the feelings that arise when looking at these subjects. You would think, “pictures of the homeless” would show me large watery beautiful eyes that show a kind interior covered in a…
National Stop Rapping Week
You’re probably wondering why start a National Stop Rapping Week. I can imagine it’s hard to fathom why a website that consists of so many fans of rap, would start a whole week dedicated to stopping it. And it should be hard to fathom, because that would be fuckin stupid and our intentions are everything…
Gotta Take the Time Out For This One……..
I had to post about this before I went to sleep because I felt compelled to share this shit with the wonderful readers of MadeMonarchs.com. I bought this album back in November off the strength of his performance at the Loft back in April, even though I was originally only going to see Teresa Jenee….
Just My Thoughts: Scholastic Survey with Jeff Staple – Billy Rohan
Sooner or later the society will see that times have changed and things aren’t what they use to be. Some are going to have to realize that something like skateboarding can be educational to the individuals who really wants to learn how to do it and make a living from it. General education is important…
Shaun Li – Converse (Smoke and Ride)
So I listened to this track and immediately did two things: 1. Hit the repeat on my I-Tunes and 2. Call the homie to see if he wanted to get a session in. I have to say that this is a smokers dream song. It’s smooth and relaxing as hell. The intro on this joint…

Nothing – Urban Legendz Feat. Teresa Jenee
First, before I even go into talking about the track, I just want to say that the first time and every time after I hear this song I feel like this…….. Urban Legendz and Teresa Jenee came together and created a masterpiece. Just everything about this song is damn near perfect. It’s like “budda”. The…
The Fly Rebelz of St. Louis
I really feel like St. Louis brings out some of the best dancers in the nation. I’m not sure why that is but I will just assume it as a fact. I think it’s dope to have a passion and purpose to just express yourself, and do it with style. Check out their latest…
Take Care (Cover) – Florence and the Machine
If you don’t know who Florence and the Machine is GET INTO IT. I’m not sure how rappers or (hip hop/R&B ) only listeners function but if you hear your favorite songs in that genre you should notice that meany of their inspirations, melodies, and hooks often come from other genres and types of music….

70% done? (Tower Tattoo visit)
This past weekend I had a meeting with the homie Sean over at Tower Classic Tattoos (remember when nesbitt posted about these guys?) The meeting wasn’t about getting a tattoo at all but I ended up walking out with one. I would say I’m about 70% done with my sleeve, so I have about 4 more…
Jason Christopher Peters Brooch Came Today!
I came in contact with a rising designer (fore mentioned in the title of this post). I will shorten it to JCP for now. His accessories and garments have been worn by some of the most talked about people in popular entertainment right now. He recently showcased at St. Louis Fashion week. Unfortunately I was not…
