Kid Robot x Tarina Tarantino

Kidrobot just announced a jewelry collaboration with designer Tarina Tarantino. The goods will debut in Kidrobot and Tarina Tarantino's Soho stores on July 30 and range from $65 to $975. Tarantino has designed a Barbie doll and Barbie-inspired jewelry and famously gave Hello Kitty pink hair in 2002 (an image she still uses in her jewelry designs), and she's earned a cult following with her bright, shiny creations. Not to mention she calls her L.A. headquarters "The Sparkle Factory."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - State police say they arrested a man early Tuesday whose blood alcohol level was 0.491 percent — the highest ever recorded in Rhode Island for someone who wasn't dead.Stanley Kobierowski was taken to a hospital, put in the detoxification unit and sedated, said Maj. Steven O'Donnell. He was arraigned Tuesday on charges of driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest, and he was released after promising to appear Friday at a court hearing."The person's lucky they survived," O'Donnell said. "There's no doubt he would have gotten killed or killed someone if he had continued on the route he was taking."

A phone listing for Kobierowski could not be found, and he did not have a lawyer in court Tuesday. Kobierowski, 34, of North Providence, was arrested after he drove into a highway message board on Interstate 95 in Providence, O'Donnell said.
After police arrived, Kobierowski had trouble getting out of the car, then grabbed it and refused to move, forcing troopers to carry him to the breakdown lane before taking him back to their barracks, O'Donnell said.

A breath test showed blood alcohol readings of 0.489 percent, followed by 0.491, O'Donnell said, the highest readings state officials could remember for someone who didn't end up dead.The legal limit in Rhode Island is 0.08. A level of 0.30 is classified as stupor, 0.4 is comatose and 0.5 is considered fatal, according to the health department.

Wow!! SMH at this guy... Like how many drinks is that??? This guy needs help ASAP!!! One thing I hate with a passion is a drunk driver. He's very lucky he didn't hurt anyone.. just his life, oh and the message board. Everyone needs to remember this picture next time they decide to drink and drive, it definitely changed my perspective on the issue.

Illa & Dilla...

Illa J, the younger brother of the late, revered producer J Dilla, has informed AllHipHop.com that his pending debut on Delicious Vinyl will feature unreleased tracks from his older sibling. The 21-year-old Illa J feels he is ready to not only show his talents as an artist, but will also illuminate the spiritual bond he still holds with his departed brother.

“Dilla was twelve years older than me,” Illa J explained to AllHipHop.com. “So back in the day in Detroit I was just a little kid, sitting on the stairs in our house, watching him make those first beats for Slum Village. So I always felt my brother’s tracks and had an instinct for what I wanted to do over them.”

J Dilla passed away in February 2006 due to complications from lupus, leaving behind an extraordinary collection of unused beats. The unreleased tracks date from Dilla’s time working on Pharcyde’s sophomore LP Labcabincalifornia in 1995 through 1998. Delicious Vinyl founder Michael Ross elaborated on how the pieces came into Illa J’s possession.

“From ’95 through ’98 Jay Dee was my go-to guy for hot beats and remixes. He was always making beats, always,” Ross detailed. “So there was a select amount of tracks that he composed for me during that time, only they never got used. When I finally met Illa J last year, I gave him a CD containing those unreleased beats.”

The timing worked in Illa’s favor, as the fledgling musician had just relocated to Los Angeles and built his own studio. With his older brother’s lost recordings, he began crafting his own unique sound with Dilla’s recording equipment. Through this process, Illa J feels his brother has imparted more life lessons to him from beyond the grave.

“One of the things I learned from my brother is that you don’t get that much time, so make the most of it,” Illa Jay reflected. “That’s why I’ve decided to dedicate my life to doing what I love: music. To work with Mike and Delicious Vinyl, that label that released those hits my brother made with The Pharcyde [‘Runnin’,’ ‘Drop‘] is really special.” Ross wholeheartedly agrees, and further elaborates on a spiritual, higher purpose he sees in the musical legacy of Jay Dee and Illa J’s potential as a new artist.

“Illa J can write, sing, play and rap. Not just a little bit of each-he’s really the total package, Ross stated excitedly. “And anyone who loves Jay Dee’s music is going to flip out when they hear what his younger brother’s been laying down. For over a decade these beats have been waiting in the vault for this moment. It’s like Jay Dee made these tracks with an extrasensory purpose, so that Illa J could make this album. There is no question that is exactly what they were meant for. These beats belong to Illa J, they’re his birthright, and I really believe Jay Dee would be proud of what his brother is doing.”

A set release date has not been confirmed at press time.
