Mr Lateef — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 16:15:46 +0000

Violinist Lee England Jr. is an artist on the cusp of stardom but he’s so humble that you can’t appreciate the magnitude of his talent unless you’ve seen and heard him perform. Lee, who has been dubbed the “Soul Violinist”, weaves a sonic tapestry, moving effortlessly from covers of current hits, to classical, to his own compositions, which he describes as “a musical gumbo consisting of rhythm, blues, gospel, jazz, … Read More →

First of all, we are big Dr. Dre fans. We love his music and respect his legacy. We like a lot about his Beats by Dre line of headphones as well. They are stylish and well-crafted. In fact they look better than a standard pair of our favorite headphones. At Suit & Artist however, we choose our headphones by how they sound, not necessarily how they look (after all we … Read More →

DJ Freezrock: Human Metronome

Mr Lateef — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:04:40 +0000

It’s hard to define the qualities of a “good DJ” these days. Frankly, technology has negated the need to develop skills or pay the dues that used to be prerequisites for aspiring DJs. There’s really no need to lug crates of wax around anymore (although, we at Suit & Artist hold those who do in the highest esteem) and technology can mask the lack of skill of a novice.

Through a peculiar turn of events, my closest and most alcoholic friends and I recently had the great pleasure of sampling a bottle Kanon Organic Vodka. I drink vodka but I am no expert so I really don’t know much about the intricacies of one brand versus another. Some are derived from potatoes, some from wheat…they get you drunk and they have fewer calories and carbs than other drink choices; … Read More →
