Rebel 8 – Fall 2013 “A.C.A.B.” & “Root Of All Evil” collections

Rebel 8 2013 Fall collection is being released in four separate installments. The third drop is called Root Of All Evil. And while money is commonly referred to as such, famed American author Mark Twain once said contradictory that, “the lack of money is the root of all evil.” // Fall ’13 drop 3/4 is now selling at UGHH.com & REBEL8.com.

In related news: Rebel 8 have decided to open a pop-up store @ their new location in Los Angeles. Here’s what Rebel 8’s Joshy had to say about it: “It’s time for us to commence work on the next big thing. For years we’ve been asked, questioned, begged, and outright told to open up a retail store front. But my answer has always been the same; I won’t say never, but I will say not now. I guess that is, until now. The 10-by-10 box I emotionally spoke about in my 833 blog, will go beyond what it now functions as today, and become another great memory in the history of REBEL8. This 10-by-10 will soon become our pop-up shop.”

Danny Diablo – Megatron video feat Big B, Block McCloud & more

Danny Diablo – Megatron video feat Big B, Block McCloud & more… Once again we drop a Danny Diablo exclusive!! He just keeps churning out these dope video’s off of his “The Blood Of Eden” album.
This time around “Megatron” gets the visual treatment. The track features guest verses from Big B, Block McCloud, The DRP and Chucky Chuck & Gillies of DGAF.

The video was shot by director Mando Gonzales and has a cool intro taking us all the way back to the 80’s. Every kid born in the 80’s (or late 70’s) loved the Transformers..

If I’m not mistaken Danny Diablo will drop two more videos for this record before focusing on recording & touring with his NYHC band Crown Of Thornz. Crown Of Thornz are set to release a 7″ / EP called “Nothing But Misery” later this year on Durty Mick Records. In October they will start recording with Tim Armstrong (Rancid) for a full length album, slated for a 2014 release.
