One of the biggest fashion experiences is upon the masses again. The renowned Bread & Butter trade show will be taking place this month. The trade show is held twice a year in January and July. It has switched between two locations Barcelona and Berlin. Founded in 2001, Bread & Butter will be hosting their 11th trade show in Berlin.

Considered a fashion capital of the world before WW2, Berlin will host fashion designers, clothing lines, boutique representatives, and consumers from all over the world. The Bread & Butter trade show will hold approximately 600 exhibitors covering sports gear, casual, street, and formal attire. The trade show is for selected brands, which means there will be only high quality clothing.

Holding the title of being the "leading trade fair", Bread & Butter have different events I store for their guest. The trade show will include fashion shows, parties, galleries and live music. The last two day of the trade show Bread & Butter's Team Sport and Street Festival will take place. Joey Bada$$, A$AP Rocky, Action Bronson, and Danny Brown are included in the line up for this years festival. The festival is invite only and unfortunately online registration for the trade show is closed. The Bread & Butter trade show will be held at the Berlin-Tempelhof Airport from July 4-6.

Today is yet another sad day for music. Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees has died, age 62, after a long battle with cancer. His spokesperson confirmed the news -

"The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery," reads the statement. "The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time."

Despite the fact Gibb had several health scares over the past few years, he made a "Spectacular recovery" rather recently. Unfortunately a second tumor developed, which was only complicated by a case of pneumonia in April. It will be sad to see him go, as The Bee Gee's did so much for pop music. RIP Robin.

Neak – Big Dreamer ft. NidaNasheeda

Editor — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:24:11 +0000

This record focuses on the fear of failing when it comes to our goals in life, and fighting tooth and nail to survive life's ills.

If your father performed alongside Funk & Soul legends like James Brown & Sam Cooke, and your older sibling was deep into Hip-Hop production, chances are being a product of your environment meant only one thing… Following the path his family set before him, Chicago-based Hip-Hop artist Neak draws vivid verbal portraits which find inspiration in the spirit of 1980’s Hip-Hop & U.S. culture. The “War on Drugs,” failing Reaganomics, and increasing violence within poverty stricken areas only strengthened the resolve of the then fledgling Hip-Hop movement, and it’s this concept of perseverance and reclamation that guides Neak’s artistry.

Neak

Since 2010, Neak has released two volumes in his ’84 mixtape series (8000 total downloads), both of which are hailed as “underground classic[s] with an electric/soulful feeling, and rooted in the core of hip-hop." Currently Neak is fresh off a release of his newest project "Neak Rock," a Pete Rock tribute album presented by DJBooth.Net, Fake Shore Drive, Refined Hype, Prefix Mag & YNotMyDream; which has currently reached over 50,000 downloads and counting! Recently fresh from releasing his #illRaps Series (featuring artists such as Slot-A, Pugs Atomz, Sincerely Yours, Mike Schpitz, etc.) He is now currently working on his next project entitled, "Love Greater // The Prequel," with production from Slot-A, INTLMC, Rashid Hadee. This upcoming project will be presented/sponsored by DJBooth.Net, Earmilk, and Prefix Mag.

Naming Nas, Mos Def, Common, Lupe Fiasco, MF Doom, Elzhi, Jay-Z, etc. as his main lyrical influences, Neak preserves the aesthetics of real Hip-Hop; authenticity, originality, excellence all evoke a heartfelt emotion for listeners of his music. Neak is looking to tour in support of his "Love Greater // The Prequel" project; which is scheduled for release early 2012."
