Huf 2010 Holiday Collection Lookbook!
HUF is one of the sickest brands around. They are modern, and clean, with pretty simple design, but still have that skater flow. I really like all the collections, and pieces HUF puts out. To put it in short terms, they are good at what they do. Being a fairly young brand, they sure are holding their own. Not only is their collection nice, their lookbooks are done really well, and show HUF's clothing really well. Take a look for yourself.
Bun B (Ft. Drake) - Put it Down (Video)
So we all know Bun B's 'Trill OG' was an outstanding album, earning itself 5 mics from
The Source Magazine. Not only was his solo game on lock, his features were on point as well! Drake was actually on two songs in the 5 mic album! This being my favorite of the two. Not only is the song well written, with a good beat, the video is well done, and a good watch! Enjoy

Looking For Trouble! (G.O.O.D. Friday)
Kanye's G.O.O.D. Friday track was released a little bit late this week, the reason being he was waiting on Roc Nation's J.Cole to send over a verse. However, i have to admit, the wait was worth it, for sure! I think this may be one of my favorite G.O.O.D. Friday tracks! Big Sean KILLS it! wowww!
Enjoy, "Looking For Trouble" By Kanye (Ft. Pusha T, Cyhi The Prynce, Big Sean & J.Cole)

R.I.P Mac Dre!
Today, November 1st, is the anniversary of the death of Andre Hicks. Also known as Mac Dre, and one of the best rappers to have ever lived. Not only did he supply songs with sturdy lyrics, but he also invented words, dances and a whole movement. During his short span of life, he made around 30 albums and mixtapes and over 500 songs! More than any other artist today! Mac Dre definetely had the most flows out of anyone. Every flow was dopee, and unique! So here's a toast to Mac Dre, he is missed, so R.I.P Dre. Whoever shot you is going to hell for killing a god.... (:

Weezy's Letter from Prison #9
Even though they said the last letter would be the last, Weezy has written another letter! Which is a good thing, because a lot of people like to hear from him. Though, i am going to assume this will be the last letter considering he has only 21 Days left in prison. I really cant wait to see what he has in store for everyone, and see what he thought of during his time in prison!

R.I.P TuPac
9/13/1996 is the day we lost an amazing artist, one whom the whole world could relate to, and did. Yesterday was the 14th aniversery of Pac's death! So i would like to dedicate a post to him, just to let him know how much the world misses him! Imagine how different the rap game would be if he were still around, hell the world would probably be different to. Just because he had such a big impact on our culture, not only was he a talented rapper, he was a very smart, sentimental person. I was looking through all recent blog posts, for the last 3 days, and i saw nothing even mentioning TuPac. It's all about the VMA's or Justin Beiber, it's almost as if the world is starting to forget about Pac, which is something that should never happen! Without Makaveli, the game would not be where it was today. Pac, we miss you! R.I.P!
Through every dark night, there's a brighter day after that.
So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out, keep ya head up.... and handle it.”

Damn It Feels good to be a Taylor!
Today seems to be a video day i guess, i just keep coming across some real dope videos! Like this one of course, "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Taylor", by Wiz Khalifa of course! This video gives you the feel of being in the Studio with Wiz and Rostrum Records! It has a fun atmosphere, and is filmed really well! The layed-back song is over the classic "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta" beat, by Geto Boys!
4 Hours & 20 Minutes (Ride to H-Town)
Jet Life! Here's a pretty new banger by Curren$y and Killa Kyleon! Curren$y's usual video producers, Creative Control do a good job as expected! Curren$y killed the beat, as he does in every song, and in my opinion, Killa Kyleon is gettin' a lot better! Give it a watch, tell me what you think!
My Computer is a Lamee.
Whadd up?! Sorry for the significant lack of updates and posts here at Planet Koda. Earlier last week, my computer decided to stop working, and i just fixed it late last night.

Now that the computer is working again, i will be posting and updating every day again! So keep checking in for some new stuff!! (:
they sayin sky’s the limit, how bitch? I’m moonwalkin!"
UNDFTD 2010!
Wow, this is definitely my favorite collection in a while! This is the 2010 fall/winter collection for UNDFTD. It turned out great!

Well here is just another example, song and video are both on point! Kid Ink has a unique flow, but i gotta say its a hella nice flow! Anyway, check out the video and watch Kid Ink Charge into the game!
Pilot Talk Two!
When you think of Curren$y, you probably think of his fairly new album, Pilot Talk. Pilot talk dropped just several months back, and is still fresh in a lot of peoples minds! With Ski Beatz producing pretty close to every track, the album was on point! Lets just say, if Curren$y keeps flowin' over Ski's tracks, this next album is gonna be incomparable!
Kid A!
Recently, i got an amazing opportunity to start working with a company that goes by the name of "Kid A".
Let me start off by saying, they are a great! I am so excited to have been able to work with them! Be sure to check out there website at http://www.kid-a.ca/home/
Planet Koda: To start off, What’s your name? And what is your brands name?
Kid A: Hello Dakota, it’s good to hear from you. To answer your question our brands name is KID A. As for our actual names, we prefer to keep it anonymous.
How did you come up with your brands name, and when did you start your company?
The letter A is predominant in both of our legal names and our nick names.
We had the idea for the KID A label in early 2008 but did not officially launch until late 2008.
What inspired you to get into the clothing/streetwear business, and to start KID A Apparel?
There is a short answer to this question that we posted in our ABOUT page but we have always been into skateboarding and street culture.
Truly, as long as we can remember, we have always had a deep desire for the best clothing. We would hit up countless stores to look for that perfect t-shirt or pair of jeans. We would critique every piece that we saw, saying how it would look better if it was cut differently or if the design on the shirt was a little bolder or offset. Over time the idea just kept coming back to us that if we had our own line, we would make the most amazing clothes and that’s how we started.
Where do you guys set up shop?
We are located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
How Many People Run Kid A?
KID A consists of a two man team.
Where do you find inspiration for your designs? What’s the process in creating a shirt?
We grew up skateboarding are inspired by the skate scene and the people and culture that surround it. There is a deep passion for old movies, and music of all types. We both love to travel and feel at home backpacking as much as we do in Edmonton. A lot of our ideas have stemmed from our travels and our experiences from around the globe.
The creating process starts with an idea that we may have gotten from anywhere. We take the idea sketch it out first, tweak it, and then make a digital version.
Do you have any goals, or upcoming plans for Kid A?
New shirt designs are always on our minds.
In the future we would like to launch a series of skateboard decks.
Personally, What are some of your favorite brands?
Stussy, Maiden Noir, addidas, HUF, Original Fake.
Do you print your own shirts, or just design them and have them printed?
We have them printed. In the future we would like to buy our own printing machines and warehouse to print our shirts but right now we just can’t afford it.
Since the 1st day you started KID A, have you come away with any memories or funny stories?
When you start you have no idea if anyone other than yourself is going to like your clothes. After we launched some time passed and we got an order from Australia. We couldn’t believe that someone on another continent would be walking the streets with our shirt on their back. The feeling is indescribable.
