WV Basketball Update!

This UPDATE is short and sweet but oh so necessary!!

With both the Men and Women's Basketball team coming off conference road losses, they keep it moving, on to the next one.

Both team who just returned from Georgetown (Women) and L'Ville (Men).

I have to say that given everything going on with the Men's team, I am proud of my boys! 10+ point lead at the half?? I was beyond happy with that. I don't know what was said during half time but something happened. The boys were in a groove and I honestly think half time killed it for them.

The team has traveled to Cinci today and will take one the Bearcats tomorrow night at 8:00pm. The game will be on the Big East Network (I will hopefully have a link again for those who don't get it!).

The No. 8 Women's Basketball team will leave town tomorrow and head to Depaul.

The game will be at 4:00pm on Saturday on ESPNU (should have a link for this as well!).

LET'S GOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!!

Wiz Khalifa!!

OK definitely not the best picture of Wiz but I had to use it! 

Black and Yellow has taken off for many reasons, but more so now that the Steelers have officially signed on and fully support the track. After his performance at Heinz Field on Sunday, Wiz has decided to extend his support of Pittsburgh to his hair! He was of Lopez Tonight, performing, of course, Black and Yellow, and rockin his new hair! 

Wiz on Lopez Tonight:

Earlier today, Wiz released a new music video. The video is for a track 'On My Level' featuring Too Short. The track, will I'm sure, create even more of a buzz already surrounding the release of his next album 'Rolling Papers' due out in March!!

Wiz Featuring Too Short - On My Level 

Moment for Life

Nicki Minaj is answering questions with Sway and debuting her new video for 'Moment of Life.'

The track, featuring Drake, peaked at #37 on Billboard and the video is highly anticipated!!

Check the live video feed below!!

OK so I put the link up just as she ended her question portion and introduced the video!!

Here is the NEW video for 'MOMENT FOR LIFE'

Navy Leather with Brown Leather laces

Brown Leather and Black Suede

White outsoles

10 Deep X PRO-Keds Veteran Pack

Camouflage

Denim

Camo with Black laces

Denim with Blue laces

Gum bottoms and toe guards

Orange inner lining

I've never really been a fan of the Camo as "fashion" thing, but for whatever reason these caught my eye. Don't get me wrong I like the Denim but the Camo could be sick if worn correctly!

Primitive - $89.99

Surpa Skytop II

"Air Max 95"

Gradient Suede design

Neon Green laces

These are without a doubt modeled after the Neon 95s! 

Look for these Spring 2011

Supra Bandit

KICKS Thursday - Js and Air Max!

Nike Air Max Light

Aqua/White - Voltage Cherry

Black/White - Prism Pink

Suede and Mesh upper

Sparkling Suede panel on the Black/Prism Pink 

White Mesh on Aqua/Voltage Cherry

White Outsole and NIKE Swoosh

Prism/Voltage found on inner lining, top lace loop and air unit

I would rock both of these in a heart beat! If I was buy a pair today, it would have to be the Aqua. Since Being that I have been buying nothing but Pink and Black KICKS, I think its time for something new. It helps that the Aqua makes me think of SUN which means Spring has to be near! 

Look for both pairs sometime in the next month! 

Air Max 90 ACG Pack

Velvet Brown/Circuit Orange

Velvet Brown Tumbled Leather

Cream Leather mudguard and top eyelets

White Mesh toe panel and around ankle

Circuit Orange lower eyelets and Nike

Brown Air Unit

Spotted Laces in both Purple and Orange

This colorway is so far away from my color pallet but being the HUGE fan of Air Max 90s that I am, these are no different! I would definitely go with the Purple laces though, the Orange is just too light and looks funny up against the Circuit Orange eyelets. You will be able to find these very soon!

Air Jordan 7
"Bordeaux"

Black/Light Graphite Nubuck upper

Bordeaux tongue

Plastic 23 on heel emblem 

The differences are subtle, I wouldn't be surprised if in the next few weeks we don't 

see a comparison video! These are set to release in APRIL for $150. 

Air Jordan 7

Neutral Grey/Mineral Blue/Bright Violet/White

Sorry ladies! These don't come out until after Valentine's Day!

I'm not a huge fan of Purple so most likely won't own these but the are definitely a great KICK!

These are set for release in March!

KICKS Thursday - Nikes!

Nike Air PR1

Black/Dark Grey - Turquoise 

Black Elephant and Black Suede upper

Turquoise inner lining, outsole and toe guard

3M circle panel on the ankle

High ankle strap

I like these one minute, and the next, not so much. I can't really explain why I feel either way. I know I like the colorway. The Turquoise POPS off the black.  The 3M panel adds a nice touch as well. I think it may be the Elephant panel and the high strap that is throwing me off. My initial reaction is LIKE so thats what it is! No release information as of right now but I will keep my eyes open! 

Nike Air Waffle Trainer
Lime Green

Mesh and Leather construction

Lime Green inner lining, NIKE and heel branding

Grey mudguard, White midsole, Black outsole

These had me once I saw the colors. If there is Green or Pink of almost any shade, I will be drawn to it. That doesn't mean I always love them but, these caught my attention do to the green NIKE. I could do without the black going up to the laces but other then that, I love them. The Nike Air Waffle Trainer is set to release in FEBRUARY. 

WMNS Dunk High

Valentine's Day

Black and White decorated clothe upper

Black Leather NIKE

Black laces and inner lining

White Midsole/Black Outsole

Although these Dunks aren't SCREAMING Valentine's Day, decked out in Pink and Red, if you look closely you can see, it fits the theme perfectly! Roses, Hearts, Cupids and other signs of love, make the shoe work perfectly. These are available at select Nike retailers like Concepts. 

Lloyd Banks - I Don't Deserve You

I Don't Deserve You

I know I'm a few days late but since this is one of my favorite tracks off HFM2,

 it is only right I post something about it! So, here it is, 'I Don't Deserve Ya' featuring Jeremih.

Lloyd Banks - New Music - More Music Videos

I think every female on the planet needs to hear this track and if you don't get it, watch the video, maybe it will make more sense! The last 47 seconds of the video really tell the whole story!

4Ts - Tunes on Tuesday!

Nothing new about 4Ts this year but for today, we're gonna keep it real

NEW YORK! 

This first video is from an artist who will always have a spot on RTWK!

He finishes a track, sends it to me. He shoots a video, sends it to me.

He is heavy flipping tracks and spreading his work.

Team NewNY and iPush is here!!

ALSO - Finish Line/6.8

The first time I heard a track from this dude, he caught my attention within seconds. 

He is always pushing and most recently sat down with Sway on MTV Rap Fix.

Gist The Essence - Roller Coaster (Featuring Cocoa Sarai)

I have to show this man some love! His team has sent me numerous tracks and its about time I start letting the world hear them.  Welcome DieRich to the RTWK music lineup!

Melo - Addiction 

Since I have been gone for a while, the last video is a few weeks old but nonetheless, this artist will always get RTWK love! It helps that he is from The Rock and never stops working.

Emperor Chi - Don't Follow (Featuring Chris G)

Keep sending your music. The more music I get, the better your chances are of getting put on.

WV Basketball Update!

You may already know everything in this post, especially if your a

 member of Mountaineer Nation, but I don't really care! Bringing RTWK back to life in the thick of the 

NCAA Basketball season means a lot of WVU updates! 

Sohpmore Forward, Dan Jennings is no longer on the team.

I can honestly tell you, I noticed the lack of minutes played by Dan Jennings on Sunday during the Big East matchup against USF but I was shocked to hear about his disappearance shortly after half time, during the post-game Press Conference with Coach Huggins. 

Huggins hasn't been happy with Jennings attitude all season. This was evident when Jennings was not invited to travel with the team to VMI earlier in the season. When asked after the game about Jennings, Huggins didn't have much to say but one line involving "never be seen again" was uttered during his seemingly perplexed response.

After that, it was no shocker to hear that Jennings was now off the team. 

Now, I don't know why this happened, some are saying Jennings and Huggs must have had shared a few uneasy words during half time but thats just speculation. I will say though, I hope it was worth losing his spot on the team. Huggs didn't like his attitude and based off what I know, which is simply that he left his team approximately 2 minutes into the second half, Huggs is right, he has a poor attitude.

The Mountaineers beat USF 56-46.

Senior Guard, Casey Mitchell is suspended indefinitely. 

In a Press Release sent out earlier this evening, Coach Huggins announced that Casey Mitchell was suspended for the remainder of the season. Losing the teams leading scorer, averaging almost 17 points a game, is a big blow to the team who is in the thick of Big East play. 

Much like Dan Jennings, there is very little information about why the suspension has happened. In Casey Mitchell's case we are being told that it is due to a violation of team rules. Another similarity to Jennings situation is, this was not Mitchell's first strike of the season. He was suspended for a team rules violation before the regular season began in November.

The mood in the Coliseum on Sunday was one unlike I have experienced before. Coming off a loss to state rival Marshall, the crowd was not as big as many would have hoped and the people who were there  seemed to have their minds on something else. With the team heading to L'Ville in hopes of continuing to better their record, this could cause a huge change in team morale. This causes a major shift on and off the court, I hope the boys can work through it and continue on the road to MSG!

LET'S GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!

Mixtape Monday!!

Say Hello to Mixtape Monday!


Every Monday I will be sharing some mixtapes
I have downloaded throughout the week. 

To kick things off though, I am going to share one
mixtape with you that I believe needs to be heard.

For the first Mixtape Monday,  it is only right for me to showcase a New York artist.

I have posted a few tracks from TSM Records artists before so the skill of Ace Cito should be no surprise.From Brooklyn, New York, to Morgantown, WV, Cito is sharing his talent and leaving people looking for more. He dropped 'Cito's Way' on January 15th and the anticipation was visible across Facebook and Twitter. With an average of over 200 downloads a day,
 I think its fair to say the wait was worth it!

 Download Cito's Way NOW!!!

Follow Cito on Twitter @CitosWay718


Don't want to say too much since there is more to come from Ace Cito, on RTWK so stay locked!
