The legendary emcee Big Daddy Kane, who is a pioneer in the hip-hop game, is also known for his trendsetting ways via fashion. On top of being a first rate lyricist who has influenced countless rappers from Jay Z to Eminem, Big Daddy’s fashion game also helped establish the quintessential rapper aesthetic. From the oversized dookie chain to the clean high-top fade BDK’s entire flamboyant image has remained intact to this day. So it only makes sense for a prestigious global brand like British Walker to link up with Big Daddy himself for a limited edition line of custom BDK shoes. Only 500 BDKs will produced so get ’em while they’re hot! And while you’re at it check out this two minute clip of Big Daddy Kane explaining British Walker’s influence on him and his hood. After the jump!

New Music: Mick Jenkins – “11”

Have you been fiending some new Mick Jenkins? Yeah, we have been too. Following his breakout mixtape The Water[s] from earlier this year Jenkins has been relatively quiet. Sure, he's dropped some dope features here and there as well as various loosies (including the very good "Fate") but we've been craving some solo Jenkins material. But it looks like today we're receiving a treat in "11" a new solo Mick Jenkins cut. Produced by NIFDproductions, the powerful track is named after the amount of times Staten Island native Eric Garner said "I can't breathe" before his untimely death at the hands of police officers. Listen to Mick Jenkins' "11" after the jump.
