The St. Louis Connection Pt. 1

New York and The World

- Writing from St. Louis,Missouri, home of: Redd Foxx, The St.Louis Cardinals, Chuck Berry, and Co-founder of the Blues music phenomenon. Growing up amidst the Shadow of the Gateway Arch; where success and moguls are born and sculpted everyday. This was the environment that produced me, Brandon Allen. Newest Member to Dice City and the Crack House Rock movement. A mogul in training, trying to develop and harness the skills and attributes needed to be a juggernaut in the music industry. As I write this blog today, the weather outside hits its third transition of the week. The first a 65 degree heat wave that resulted in t-shirt and jean weather. Secondly, fall, the weather dropped about 10 - 15 degrees having most of the campus (Southern Illinois University of Carbondale, Carbondale IL) back in light jackets and long sleeved shirts or hoodies. Then today the weather reaches one of the lowest points of the winter a 12 degree cold front that brings with it an estimated 3-5 inches of ice, not snow. This weather presents a need for multiple fashion styles and also multiple hot new trends.
The the most common trend found on campus, Creative Recreation. The San Fransisco based company puts out endless hot shoes and with ridiculous amounts of possible colors,styles, and fashion genres. I own at least 5 pairs personally.For those of you unfamiliar with these I have attached the link to the main website for the company so you too can enjoy these incredible shoes. Also, these shoes tend to match perfectly the styles and concepts produced by my bro's Al B and Tre-Dice of Dice City Fashion; thusly, if you gettin some Rec's why not grab a Dice City joint to go with it.http://www.cr8tiverecreation.com/
Next, Nafiys Blakewood aka - Mr. Blakewood. Fashion Guru.And soon to be Hip-Hop,Pop,Indie, whatever ICON. Make sure you go and hit his page up at www.mr.blakewood.com, and let him know your thoughts and ideas about whatever he doing currently- most likely tryin to take over his area of expertise, just like the rest of the family.
Lastly, any artists in the St.Louis,Kansas City,Alton,Chicago,Memphis,Nashville,Atlanta area looking for someone to give them that opportunity of being the next big thing in whatever music type you do, contact me at B_randon2289@hotmail.com or facebook Brandon Allen (SIU Carbondale network) I'm looking for new unique sounds so let me know. Also, If you are a college school member in any of those areas and are interested in having some of Dice City Fashions - A taste of New York City- at your next big fashion show contact either me or Al B or any member of the Crack House movement and they will point you in the right direction.

Until the next time
