G UNIT MONEY IN THE BANK MIXTAPE



CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD G UNIT MIXTAPE

Its very easy to say that no crew inside New York City has had a choke hold on the mixtape game like the G-Unit soldiers. From 50's ill remakes to Lloyd Banks sick delivery,they owned the streets with every release. I put money on it that they could do a small tour and perform nothing but joints from these tapes. I wasnt planning on posting tapes until 09,but hey what the heck.

THINGS I LIKE ON MY FEET..THE NEW BALANCE EDITION


Having grown up in massachussetts,my style is a lil different from most. I remember wearing Docksiders,Eastlands,and New Balance as a youngin. Lets just say i my style was heavily influenced by the suburbs. One of my favorite shoes though were New Balance's,i loved the 996's,1300's,576's,and the 574's. One a recent trip to Japan i kind od'd. One day ill show you all some of my sneaker collection,but for now ill show you these. New Balance has been coming with some ill kicks for a while now. The new school sneaker head really isnt up on them,which makes it better for the rest of us. As for new b's,as my man Ralphie used to call em,ive been a fan since day one. I actually used to hustle them in college. If you dont believe me ask Clark Kent and Biz Mark.

A DECEMBER TO REMEMBER




Well ladies and gentleman,the last month of the year is here and DJ MARS is about to get busy. In the middle of me writing my book im still a DJ,and a pretty damn good one. I'm trying to make myself recession proof,just cause Obama's on his way to the White doesn't mean it ain't hard on the boulevard. Well on the grueling schedule,if you dont see your city on the schedule and you want me to come rock...hit me at djmars@tmo.blackberry.net.
