Jae Spite
Maybe I was going through something when I heard this track “Hater, Hater, Hater” from Jae Spite on myspace. Personally I think the song has an addictive hook and has lots of potential. You be the judge…

“Ur Not In Fashion (UNIF) that’s why we’re here” is how UNIF sees their line of clothes which is always outgoing and fun. So, this summer –ditch the expensive designer price of Dior and Chanel and instead go with their $72 retro frames. Because let’s face it, no one wants to wear heavy weight items in the summer and the retro sunglasses are the complete opposite emboding light weight with their exposed wires and clear frame (they come in eggshell, midnight, and clear). Get ready to sit by the poolside in your a la Gaga frames by snatching them now –and let’s not even get started on those ‘shutter shades’…

With decades and decades of experience in the industry, Karl Lagerfeld is definitely no newbie to the fashion scene. We did however want to show you his collaboration with Les Ateliers Ruby to come up with these innovative helmets. The helmets are covered in the fabric and furs that the models are dressed in. They ALSO have an Apple Ipod in them. Here are a couple of pictures. Vote below…is this Encore Status?

While satisfying my need to find the hottest custom sneaker designers I found this design by Mache Custom. I’m clearly late. These were made in December. But these 808 Heartbreak kicks are serious. A lot of you hated the album…but you cant hate these kicks.
Then again, some of you might. Tell me what you think of these “808′s and Heartbreak” AF1 for Kanye West

DJ GUNZ Remix Legend
If you haven’t had a chance to download DJ Gunz Remix Legend Volume 1, shame on you. Brooklyn Collective does their thing putting a new sound to and feel to every track. My favorite track is Jumpin Whoa. This Remix uses the Black Rob ‘Whoa’ instrumental behind the Jumpin Out the Window acapella giving it a new ‘street toughness’ to the song. It did make me stop and say WHOA.
I could be trippin though. You be the Judge.

Jamela
Jamela Bullock’s status on her Reverb Nation Page is “obama-ing it up”, which is a great status for a successful individual like herself. Just like Obama is a success and is something fresh & new for everyone in the U.S., Jamela is the same for R&B heads or addicts! She speaks about life, love, harmony, and much more in her music. In every cut, you can feel the prescence of inspirational R&B singers in the game like Erykah Badu, Whitney Houston, Indie Arie, Beyonce, and Jill Scott.
Jamela is a Germany native woman who moved to the U.S. at the age 6. Singing is a talent that was passed down to her from her mother and after arriving in U.S. she soon got into gospel. Her vocals are inspired by individuals like The Winans, Yolanda Adams and many more. Gesh!! Honestly I had a bad day while preparing this article and after hearing “I found Peace” it gave me all inspiration to look for a smile.
She keeps a street swagger but maintains a beautiful and vibrant voice in her track“Stripper Song”. This song is extremely hot; I mean this is no doubt a hit. Straight up. if you want to listen to a song while getting some work done or to pass through the hours in work this song will keep you grinding FOR REAL! Lol
Jamela doesn’t stop at hood or inspirational but she furthers her talents and gets deep. This diversity in Jamela keeps me entertained; you’ll never know what she’s preparing to do next. Listen to her song “Scar” where she talks about love, heartbreaks, and the feeling of not making it and how to get over it.
But Plain and simple Jamela got what it takes to be an R&B Diva Beyonce! She’s the Total package & this is music Encore Status represents!
