You never get a second chance to make a 1st impression. For some, its either a hit or miss. Love at first sight. 15 minutes of fame. In the Hip Hop blogsphere, Graffiti Written is one of a million sites competing for your attention. Most are trash, some are inspiring and others toil in obscurity.
Welcome to Independence Day. Monday, June 28th, 2010. This blog is for the sneaker collector, who gets a rush off the scent of a new pair of dead stock "unavailable in stores" kicks. This blog was created for Hip Hop, the desire for intelligent coverage of our music, politics and culture. This blog is dedicated to everyone with a fashion forward state of mind. Most importantly, it is dedicated to you. You're the reason everything that you see and read on this site is possible. I thank you for your support and will strive to continue to deliver quality content with a sense of humor and a Toronto twist.
I want to take a moment and recognize 3 people who made this blog possible:
Special K: Thank you for motivating me to do what I love doing. This site wouldnt exist without you. You mean the world to me
Leah (Bombsteez.com): Thank you for building this remarkable blog for me, from scratch. Your talent is limitless and I cant wait to see what else you have in store.
Tay'Lanee: Your writing skills are amazing. Thanx for all your support. Youre a Boston Celtics fan, but I wont hold that against you...lol
To anyone who I failed to recognize, hold tight...I aint getting impeached anytime soon, lol
Peace!
Toronto...Forever...

Devine Calloway is bringing etnies and Chocolate skateboards together for the brand’s first joint project! This royal blue mid-top beauty is offset with a red and yellow ankle flash, with graphics inspired by none other than 70s P-Funk stars – Parliament. There's a board as well. Time to 'Get up for the Downstroke', but only in your finer skate shops.
Casual Friday Kicks: CONVERSE SKIDGRIP HI (HUF X 1HUND(RED))
0 comments
Team HUF have joined the fight against AIDS in Africa by contributing to the Converse 1HUND(RED) artists project. Lending their creative talents to the Skidgrip hi, Keith Hufnagel and Hanni El Khatib have created a simple monochrome upper covered in an ‘H’ repeat pattern that references vintage skate graphics and type. “We wanted to reference the skate and surf vibe of the 1980s and the Skidgrip was a great, authentic foundation.” The shoe will be available from October 3rd, with a percentage of the net wholesale price going to AIDS relief in Africa.
Summer Kicks for My Chic... (NIKE AIR FEATHER HIGH)
0 comments
The Nike Air Feather sneaker looks eerily like a jacked-up Air Force One, and seems much more weighty than its delicate name suggests! With added support in the ankle and a strap tight system in place, you know you'll be flying high in these sweet moonboots!

Tech Toys: Louis Vuitton Tambour Spin Time (flylyf.com)
0 comments
Ok, Im going to be honest with ya'll: Im not quite sure how to read this watch! LMAO! All I can say for sure is that its PAINFULLY outta my price range...but I want it! Time to get my hustle on...here's some clarity from Diego @ Flylyf.com:
This tambour spin time watch has no hour hands, instead they use a system of rotating cubes. That is, at any given hour, 11 of the 12 cubes are “blank” and one cube shows you what hour it is. One drawback is its price — $47,000. you need deep pockets for this one….

#Drake - "Thank Me Later" (Album Review)
1 comments
Anticipation. Expectations. Performance. As I sit here and think about an epic game 7 in the NBA Finals, I reflect on how the greats (Kobe, Jordan, Magic) responded to pressure. They are revered for their ability to deliver when the spotlight is blinding, when the world is watching. For the past 2 years, Ive watched my fellow Torontonian Drake explode into a household name. Blessed with charisma, talent and impressive marketing, He is posed to lead his peers and stake his claim as the very best of his generation. June 15th, 2010 will forever be considered as Drakes personal "game 7". Does he deliver...?

Tech Toys: The Slip Watch
1 comments
Every single time you want to check your watch to read the time, you have to twist your arm around just to read it. Thankfully someone has finally had the common sense to create a watch that you don’t have to be a contortionist to read. Sure, you could always turn your arm to read the time, but this is so much easier.
Of course, the watch looks a little silly with the face slightly angled, but it keeps things interesting. The Slip Watch doesn’t exactly have numbers printed on it, so until you get used to the lack of labeling it might still take a few extra seconds to read the watch. After that though you’ll have the ability to be much more lazy about reading the time. Sadly this doesn’t appear to be a purchasable item. It seems to be purely a concept by the NonLinear Studio.

New Music Review: #Plies (#GoonAffiliated)
0 comments
Plies album cover is deceiving. He's a "trap" artist who over saturates his albums with street anthems and grimy mixtape cuts. Yet, the singles released are almost always radio-friendly singles targeting ryde or die chicks and wanna be models. So who's the real Plies behind that intimidating mask....?
