" Queens is definitely still in the building with evidence of that being Noah Caine. In case you haven’t been following his releases, he remains 3 for 3 on the buildup to his upcoming project Noah Caine: The Pre-Season, which is set to release later this month. The above is a trailer for the tape, and below is a statement from Noah. This tape is going to be crack, you read that here first.

'We are all Rookies.
We hope to make it from the streets to the boardrooms, or the bright lights, cheers and admiration of the millions upon millions of people worldwide. You have to start somewhere. You have to have a genesis. From the ground up, until the crown’s up. Are you ready?' "

Looks very, very promising!

" Noah Caine is back with his second single from his upcoming mixtape “The-Preseason“. Although I’m fairly new to Noah’s music, he’s peaked my interest not only with his lyrics but from everything to the beats that he chooses to his artwork is quite impressive. Check out his previous single The Genesis right here if you haven’t yet! "

This video is a pure introduction to Jesse Boykins III's soul and takes a piece of his mind and displays it for the world to be a part of.

Southside Queens New York artist Noah Caine delivers a sneak peek of his upcoming project Noah Caine: The Pre-Season. With new alias, Noah plans on dropping The Pre-Season at the top of the new year. It's only right that the first song he offers is referred to simply as "The Genesis".

THIS. TRACK. IS. CRAZY!!!!!!

Charli Brown is a really profound producer when it comes to laying down the canvas for someone like Noah to paint on. These two make an amazing team if this is what we have to expect from them in the future.

This reminds us that there's still hope in Hip-Hop. Definitely keeping an eye out for Noah's next project "The Pre-Season" when it drops.

" COMME des GARCONS Pocket @ The One Hong Kong
11 hours ago ⋅ Style ⋅ by Staff
It was COMME des GARCONS who were among the first few to really push forward with the pop-up shop concept via their Guerrilla Stores dotted across the world. However given the ubiquity of the idea now, it has arguably lost a bit of its luster and excitement whenever you hear the word “pop-up.” Nevertheless, COMME des GARCONS launch a new concept titled Pocket that takes on many of the characteristics of the aforementioned pop-up Guerrila Stores. However, gone are the low-brow, hole in the wall venues in exchange for one of Hong Kong’s newer shopping establishments, The One. The month-long project will house a comprehensive line-up of PLAY COMME des GARCONS items including perfume, apparel and sneakers.
