+ There's a style to the music.
+ There's a fashion to the words.

+ There's a seduction in the sound of Jay West, but what makes it provocative is all within the details.


+ The Jay West Perspective is romantic. The Jay West Aesthetic is tailored. The Jay West agenda is to INSPIRE. “Southern California’s Newest Buzzworthy Artist” is preparing a follow-up to the cult classic mixtape, “Drugs+Candy”. The table is set.


+ Say Grace.

Chilly-O Look Book

STARRING ME...



I recently had the pleasure of being included in the line up for the Chilly-O 2009 Summer Look Book. The shoot was crazy fun and that fish-eye lens immortalized me in a real Hype Williams type way. Big Fat Shout to Chill (the man himself), Eric from the I.E.(a beast with that camera), Chad (white dude on the bike) and Friday (that's a cool ass name, bro). We all got it off in our own way and they were cool as shit to work with. No primaddona shit.

NIKE MVPuppets

Playoff madness seems to have most of my homies enthralled. I'm not sure if I'm as interested in the actual games as I am with these commercials. Kobe and Lebron are roommates for some reason and they are puppets. Now, I can honestly say that I want to see these cats face off in the finals just so I can get more of these ads.

Damn...Can I have it like that?
I already really dig anything PARRA. This just sends it over the top for me. It would be ill for me to have this. The sheets aren't really subtle but there's a comical aspect to it that gives it some innocence. Would a lady feel violated being smashed on these sheets? hmmm...

The GOLD Standard







You really know how to treat a guy!
With the release of the newest Air Yeezy Color, cult collectors will walk away with stories of how they waited in line for more hours than they did on Election Day. What's the reward? The memory? The shoe itself?

This can't be life...

Well, camaraderie has not died and there are still kind-hearted business owners who appreciate their loyal patrons. At Standard (Atlanta, GA) those who waited in line upwards of 5 days were treated to a “breakfast of champions”. Not Hours Dude...I said 5 DAYS! Here's to you gentlemen. I did not have the spirit.

Plus I have a girlfriend...and a life, but that's neither here nor there

Gorillaz Documentary



This incredible film, “Bananaz” removes the secretive, mucky walls of Gorillaz, the cartoon band created by artist Jamie Hewlett & musician Damon Albarn, smashing down all artificial barriers to reveal the full and filthy details behind this awe-inspiring band. Audiences see just what director Ceri Levy saw over seven years of mayhemical creative madness… a lot of it too graphic for mortal eyes to behold…
