Mayor's Bad Day

I'm sure everyone is up-to-date on this now, but this isn't a very good day for The Hip-Hop Mayor nor the City of Detroit.

Shady Devil

Last summer, the design team at Shady Ltd. (whom I've dubbed The Dark Minds) came up with the idea for the Shady Devil character. We first used him on the back cover of the Re-Up because Em liked it so much.
So the illustrator, Kelvis, is so talented that he decided to make a 3-D scale vinyl model of the character, by hand. Kelvis went on to create 25 numbered, hand-painted figures of the critter. And I just got mine!
Look at the amazing, hand-painted detail. This thing is truly great. It stands about 10" tall. Good for Kelvis. Great for Shady Ltd.!

Shady Ltd. @ MAGIC Convention

For your viewing pleasure, below is the amateur home video (shot by me) of Shady Records' own Dro giving us a tour of the Shady Ltd. booth at the MAGIC Convention in Las Vegas last week. I tried to do something more interesting than just post a bunch of pictures. The show was really great for us, as we had the added attraction of Shade45's own Cipha Sounds, Angela Yee and Rude Jude doing interviews from the booth's upper deck. Thanks to Mistah F.A.B., Kidz in the Hall, Jay-Z, Bun-B, Paul Wall, Three 6 Mafia, Uncle Luke, and Young Buck for stopping by and supporting (among others... those are the guys that were there when I was).
