HIP-HOP

HIP-HOP is more than music, HIP-HOP has crossed cultural boundaries that other music genres never crossed. HIP-HOP is not only the music you listen to but the way you walk, talk, dress and act. HIP-HOP is a state of mind, an entire generation. Thirty + years strong, we are the HIP-HOP generation.

D’usse Luxury Cognac - Bacardi x Jay-Z 



A few evenings ago Hov appeared at a private event here in New York City, where he alongside Bacardi launched D’usse Luxury Cognac.  
The new cognac is intended for a younger crowd and is therefor within the price range of a smaller pocket at only $44.99 (750mL bottle), for that price everyone should try it.  
It's got to be good, the last time Jigga ventured into liquor endorsement it was for Armand de Brignac aka Ace of Spades.  
Cheers to swaggin' classy!
