Lexus just unveiled this LF-LC 2+2 hybrid sport coupe at the Detroit Auto Show. Designed with the driver in mind the intuitive layout incorporates a remote touch-screen that allows the user to operate controls without shifting line of sight. Calty’s design studio really came through with a sleek, performance driven hybrid concept that stands out. Our favorite part, the glass roof giving off that greenhouse effect. Hopefully this one will hit the streets in the not so distant future. More pics below:

We showed you the preview of the show in Part 1 now you get to see the work and opening night in part 2. Check out photographer Jonathan Mannion as he takes over Art Basel in Miami. Sounds provided by DJ Clark Kent and performance by A$AP Rocky plus Gabrielle Union, Fabolous & Monie Love amongst others were all there to check it out.

Stay tuned as we’ll be taking this show on the road.

In the 2nd installment of the Meek Mill series for Reebok Classics, we caught up with him at Strawberry Mansion, his old high school in North Philly. He was awarded a certificate for his positive participation in his community and also surprised the Boys and Girls basketball teams of his Alma Mater.

Can’t front, you gotta give the man props for going back to his hood and blessing the kids.

It’s been a busy end to 2011, on top of the Art Basel show in Miami, Jonathan Mannion also shot a series of videos with Meek Mill. This first episode takes us behind the scenes on a photo shoot with Meek in NYC as well as a quick interview with the young star.

from Reebok:

After being signed to Rick Ross’s Maybach Music label, being named “Most Street” and one of the top Freshman of 2011 by XXL and having his single “Ima Boss” become a club anthem, it’s safe to say 2011 was a big year for the Philly-raised rapper.

We caught up with Meek at the studio of classic hip-hop photographer Jonathan Mannion to shoot the cover for Meek’s upcoming remix of “Ima Boss” (featuring Lil’ Wayne) and learned a little more about his history, his last year and how he keeps Philly close to his chest.

The big homie Frank The Butcher, along with DJ7L, just dropped this comprehensive mix of 100+ songs from Harlem’s own DIPSET. Enjoy!

The reign of the Harlem Diplomats is without a doubt one of the most influential periods in modern hip-hop. The movement that officially started with family features on Camron’s ‘S.D.E.’ album turned into one of New York City’s most powerful crews. Dipset created a sound that transcended the borders of east coast rap with a style that fueled urban culture for the better half of the 2000s. Killa Cam’s unapologetic uptown crew, Jim Jones, Freaky Zeeky and Juelz Santana, evolved to be leaders in their own rights commanding offshoot rap groups while still reppin’ the eagle and still screaming Harlem.

To celebrate the legacy of the Diplomats, we put together a comprehensive mix spanning years of bandana wearing and flag waving. While there is no possible way to include every significant offering of their vast catalogue, we believe we compiled some of Dipset’s best music in this 100+ minute homage.
