Keep Your Footwear Fly This Saturday with Sneaker Pimps

Attention sneakerheads, Jordan and SB collectors and hip-hop fans - the Sneaker Pimps are doing a national tour that kicks off this Saturday September 3rd in Los Angeles at Club Avalon Hollywood. Live performances by The Game, Rich Hil & The Dean's List along with live art, sneaker exhibits and buy-sell-trade kicks. You could find those coveted Jordan IIIs or VIs you wanted or those damn Crayola SB Dunks that I ruined at Lollapalooza (seriously - if you find those - holler!)

Not only should the sneakers be top notch, but it should be a dope show as well with The Game performing songs off his latest project, The R.E.D. Album (iTunes). Tommy Hilfiger's son, rapper Rich Hil, should be an interesting act to watch as Rich Hil recently signed a deal with Warner Bros. Records last month. Check out the youtube video of his signing. Lastly one of my favorite Boston hip-hop acts, The Dean's List, bring their unique genre-blending act to Los Angeles, performing for the 1st time out in the city of angels.

If you're not in LA, don't fret as Sneaker Pimps are doing shows in Houston, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York City. Check out all the tour dates here.

1st Coachella Performance We're Checking Out Is....WALE

Since checking out the schedule, we've had to make some hard decisions on who we're going to see, who we're not going to see and when we're going to attend some of the amazing satellite parties we've been hearing about.

One thing is certain though, I'm trying to make Wale my first performance of Coachella 2010. The rising MC, managed by Elitaste, is performing from 2:35 - 3:25 on the Coachella stage, so you'll hear him when you are walking in the festival grounds. He first popped on my radar at the 2007 MTV I've been a fan since before "Nike Boots," and I imagine if you read this blog, you've at least heard of the rapper born Olubowale Victor Akintimehin. If you haven't heard about Wale, you probably don't listen to radio, have been absent from the music blogosphere and/or have no love for hip-hop. If you haven't heard of him - but want to check out a little more about him and hear one of his songs - go to this blog/site - http://mixtapemaestro.net/2010/04/wale-breakup-song.html

The Interscope signed artist released his debut album, Attention Deficit, in November 2009 which featured a few dope singles, including Chillin' (featuring Lady Gaga) that made its way onto a few SUPERGOODMUSIC mixes and World Tour (featuring Jamie Sullivan) which is on our April Showers Bring Coachella Flowers mix.

He has the lyrics, the beats and the charisma to be a hip-hop staple for a while, so don't sleep on this opportunity to see him while he is still a rising star...
