THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES...

AS SEEN ON HIGHSNOBIETY- CHICKS WITH KICKS SECTION (www.highsnobiety.com)

"Yume chillin' like a villain hang space. Not a lot of Downtown Manhattan spots with space capabilities like this! And while I'm thinking of it, fuck Manhattan. I went shopping the other day on Lower Broadway and I swear I was seriously feeling down after a couple of hours there.

And that's it, kids. Turn off your computer and go see it for yourself!

Mwah!"

Big Shouts to YUME FAM Johnny Nunez, we recieved a package from our friends at MTV this morning and the CD of pics Johnny took. Peep the pics

THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES...

So I know you guys have been bombarded with dope music from Lilly Allen, Marc Ronson, Amy Winehouse, The Gorrilaz, and some other dope stuff, but what about the GRIME, HIP HOP, OLD SCHOOL GARAGE? Since we've posted some dope stuff about other dope international stars like Sphere of Influence (Japan) and PRINT (NYC) we've decided to give you some flava from the UK.

Just a quick comment on the affairs of hip hop, Being that we support good music, and we are very active in trying to redistribute new music into the matrix. I had to make sure we commented on the hip hop awards. I think BET tried their best, but still came up short on a few things, but lets focus on the positive.

LIL WAYNE TOOK THE CAKE LAST NIGHT!! KANYE WE LOVE WHAT YOU DO FOR HIP HOP, BUT LIL WAYNESHOWED US WHO HE REALLY IS! WE WOULDN'T MIND HEARING MORE LYRICISM, AND LESS "STUNTING LIKE MY DADDY". WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR A BALANCE!

Big Ups to Common for FINDING FOREVER (WE NEEDED THAT)

NO PICS PEOPLE, TUNE INTO BET AND WATCH THE AWARDS! IT WILL BE RUNNING AGAIN ALL WEEK

THE BEATUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES...

So I know you've been wondering when you can stop by and purchase an official YUME logo jump off, Well here is your chance. Saturday November 3rd you will get your chance to come and join the family! We will be launching our official male and female logo t-s and crewnecks, WHERE? IN our shop of course! Be there or be square!

THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES...

Well, what are you doing?

We are getting ready for the most paranormal day of the year with parties, Fright Fest (Six Flags) and all that good stuff.
We even changed the blog colors to suit the tradition...

I would put a pumkin up but that's just going overboard.

Really.

So instead of pumpkins, I have posted a party that we are SURE to be at--- costumes required!!!!


See You There... xoxox....


THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES... EVEN ON HALLOWEEN

Yo ho ho-- and a gallon of rum...

At least that's what most people at the Sneaker Pimps event were drinking right before they shut the bar down because of some frenzy with the blue wristbands(Adults) and those teenagers who should've been at home!

Um, ok (I told you Roseland was dirty, AM).

Not only did Pink Eye represent her sneaks, but she also held it down with YUME cards at her table!

How hot is that?

I must give a special shout out to the two of the illest graff girls in the NYC-- AM and TooFly. As you can tell, AM and I had a ball linking up with peeps we haven't seen in ages--- especially DJ Jedi (who first put me on to the Amy Winehouse Ghostface remix, long before I even knew who Amy was).

Ahhhh, good times, good times. Thanks Peter & Jimmy!

More with the sneaker exhibits... (Blackberry Cameras are the Shiz-nit!)

Another momentous event, Nas shut it down, Feamle Sneaker Fiend did their thing, and the crowd was cool as H - E - Double hockey sticks. Make sure you check out the next one, in London, I'M SURE ITS GONNA BE CRAZY!! Big Shouts to my UK heads.
Peep the pics.. THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES...

So we have been getting alot of heads through the shop, and deffinitely enjoy the new additions, but I have to introduce you to the hardest working man in YUME. Our first intern Femi, AKA The hardest Working Man in Brooklyn. Repping ENY (East New York Brooklyn) He deffinitely is a commodity, Welcome to the FAM!!

THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES...

So we got a little tied up and could not post. After the VH1 Hip Hop Honors event, we had to regroup, with all of the love we've been getting from the masses, We had to make sure our heads did not hit the clouds. In turn we hit the lab, and came up with some really dope stuff for you guys in November - December to end the year off right.

Just a side bar, our band of up and coming music mega stars hit the red carpet for VHI HIP HOP HONORS @ The Mc Lyte X Adidas party, peep the pics

THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE CONTINUES...

Oh Snap!!!
