Happy Valentine’s Day
Dear Ladies,
Today, men all around the world will try to make up for in one day what they could have been doing for you all of this year, last year, and the year before it: trying to impress you. Now since I try and impress you every time I think about you or every time I see you, this obviously isn’t the case with me…but for their sake, we won’t be too hard on them. Valentine’s Day is a time when people can go and support the over-commercialized belief that we have to buy the people that we care about nice things instead of making them laugh or just doing something to make them feel special. So, since I’d rather make you feel special than try and buy your affection, here’s what I decided to do…hope you enjoy and it makes you smile

ESSO is “The Anti-Socialite”
Y&I MUSIC RELEASE:
ESSO- THE ANTI-SOCIALITE
WORLDWIDE RELEASE APRIL 12th, 2010
NEW YORK- The latest piece of work from hip-hop artist ESSO is a confessional mixtape that expresses a day in the life of the up and coming rapper from Harlem, NY. Ushering in a new era of hip-hop, ESSO stamps a new sound that leaves behind the day of the 80’s baby and awakens the dawn of a new age that has learned more from the mistakes and triumphs of generations past.
THE ANTI-SOCIALITE catapults an educated listener into the world of a generation that carries the burden of proving oneself in a culture that has recently been “dumbed down” under the ever-critical eye of traditional media, social media, and the likes of what has gone viral over the Internet. This journey into a day in the life paints a story of the many circumstances that befall the young and ambitious- whether it be having a conversation with his past, his city, or simply living it up in a night at the club.
Calling out his ambitions, his success, and his continuous frustrations ESSO leads his listener through the typical events in the course of a day that affect this young and intelligent star on his way to the top. Completely aware of the expectations that rest squarely on his shoulders considering the collective impact of “2009’s Hip-Hop Freshman Class” ESSO steps forward to prove himself as a star in his own light in this first release of 2010.

Bowling with the Honeys [Honey Magazine]
(Check out the video via Honey Magazine)

Untitled Document
To be honest, the Honey staffers are more addicted to eight balls than bowling balls. (No pun intended!) But somehow a bowling tournament seemed more group-friendly than a pool playoff.
So we rounded up a grip of our favorite Newbees (Donnis, Donnie Goines, Esso, Jay Rock, Kidz In The Hall, and Spree Wilson) and our play-play cousins, Nina Skyy, for Honey’s very first Bowling Battle of the Sexes. Vying for the Kingpin title, five of our editors traded our Chucks and Choos for those bootleg Steve Madden lace-ups and hit the lanes for a little 10-pin, a few drinks, and a lot of laughs.
[let it be known that I had the second highest score of the day behind Dan Solomito (Donnis & Kidz in the Hall's Manager)...I dont play when it comes to competition, no matter how friendly it might be hahaha!]
Emilio Sparks x ESSO x Rhya – “Hello” [Official Video]
This is the official music video for “Hello” by Esso from the compilation album “Emilio Sparks x Cloudkickers presents: Kicks, Chicks, & Porno Flicks”. The song features back up vocals by the up-and-coming talent Ryah. The record is available for free download at EmilioSparks.com.
Over the course of 3 days, the “Hello” video was created using still photographs and video footage throughout various locations around New York. Focal points include Harlem, Union Square and the New York City Subway system. This project reflects the creative vision of Mike Shane (Director), Don Arangio (Producer), and Rebecca Bolde (Animator & Editor).
