Music Monday: 4/19 Edition

The day before and the feeling in the air is, well... dopey. The most interesting part of this 4/20 for me has been the lead up. As a now widely "recognized" "holiday," everyone from The Hundreds to Nike is getting on a seasonal drop, the latter coming with a silly sick set of kicks that is the first to have me amped on a Nike quickstrike ina minute.

The Skunk Dunk Hi features contrasting rough green suede with a purple swoosh and orange stitching, the kicker, a stash pocket in the tongue. Understated and clean, the shoes actually look money in person and while probably not cutting it for more formal occasions, would compliment most street duds nicely.




As stated earlier, The Hundreds is also dropping a 4/20 commemorative in the form of what looks to be a hemp fitted. Seen as the intro image to their blog the image started really hazey and got clearer and clearer as 4/20 approached. Now clearly visible, the hat is done in a off-white hemp looking fabric and features an all green adam bomb front and center.

Boundless and Snoop even came together for the festivities and are releasing a "Snoop Dogg x Boundless Malice Tour Tee." From Hypebeast: "Limited to only 300 units, the Boundless x Snoop Dogg shirt will be released exclusively at Boundless NY shops and online, with the remaining portion being up for grabs at Snoop Dogg’s NY shows on 4/19 & 4/20. Playing off Boundless’ popular Sound Clash t-shirt, the collaboration pitches Snoop’s very own strain against NY’s finest."



Also dropping on 4/20 is an unusually "high" (GET IT?GET IT?) amount of albums from a not-so-surprising line up. Compiled by celebstoner.com here are their top ten picks for this coming Tuesday:

1. Cypress Hill - Rise Up
2. Kottonmouth Kings - Long Live the Kings
3. Willie Nelson - Country Music
4. Devin the Dude - Suite #420
5. Xavier Rudd - Koomyun Sun
6. Roky Erickson - True Love Cast Out All Evil
7. Merle Haggard - I Am What I Am
8. Apples in Stereo - Traveling in Space and Time
9. Ozomatli - Fire Away
10. Sevendust - Cool Day Memory
