Frank151 and Frank’s Chop Shop are pleased to announce that there is an extremely limited quantity of Swagger x Frank x Ghostface New Eras left over from the 2006 Japan Tour.

Caps will be available at the Chop Shop starting at 12pm on Wednesday, August 1st, or at 1:51pm on Frank151.com/store.

They’ll be gone within one day, period. Either be at the Shop, or hit the online store, fast. This could be your last chance to own one of the best collabos since peanut butter and jelly.

Congratulations to Boston’s very own William Radford, aka DJ Leap. William was our Rock the Bells contest winner for the city of Boston.

The theme song from Karate Kid, sung by Joe Esposito, always gets us pumped up to take on the week. We tracked down this album cover from Joe “Bean” Esposito’s latest project. Apparently Esposito made so much money off the Karate Kid sound track that he could afford to hire one of those dog chaufers, that only rich people can afford. Rumor has it that the dog is actually a seeing eye dog, and that Esposito lost his vision when he was “blinded by the fame”.

“All of a sudden we, as photographers, students and teachers, are facing serious restrictions by The Mayor’s office about NYC street photography.

Introduced quietly just before Memorial Day weekend, the regulations could severely impede the ability of even casual photographers and filmmakers to operate in New York City.

A group of two or more people who want to use a camera in a single public location for more than a half hour (including setup and breakdown time) could be required to get a city permit and $1 million in liability insurance.

According to the NY Civil Liberties Union, ‘these regulations violate the First Amendment right to photograph in public places, and open the door to selective and discriminatory enforcement.’”
