This afternoon and evening, boutique clothing store Leaders 1354 will be hosting a very special meet-and-greet with the pop-hip-hop-rock group, N.E.R.D. The group's frontman, well-dressed skater-kid Pharrell, will be there to give thanks to fans and customers of his BBC Ice Cream clothing line, some of which can be snagged at the Leaders store. Pharrell has been cooking up some crazy cool designs for a few years now, and BBC Ice Cream is steadily becoming a big part of the street-wear scene. While the event today is aimed to thank the loyal customers at Leaders, we're sure Pharrell & Co. will have no problems with you stopping by after work and gushing over their debut album In Search Of, one of the best albums of the aughts. more ›

Love him or hate him, you can't deny Kanye West has a certain flare. Proving himself to a more prolific blogger than Steve Johnson (and more entertaining, too), Kanye has dropped a few details about an upcoming tour. He'll be touring with fellow Chicago MC Lupe Fiasco, supporting his recently released (and excellent record The Cool), along with Rihanna, and Neptunes side project N.E.R.D. Whatever you think of Mr. West, that lineup is nothing to sneeze at. We also dig that Star Wars/Max Headroom promo poster you can see over to the right. more ›
