Heres the HUF Fall/Winter 2010 collection. I like it, has a vintage feel! Huf is leans more towards skateboarding than streetwear. However, it still looks great, and they have some Dope pieces! here are the pictures!

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.”
KanYe is God.
Honestly, what else can you say about this preformance other than that it was incredible. Ye' is truly one of the best artists ever! Plus he brought out Pusha T, Seriously!! Here is KanYe's Song called "Runaway". Anyway, check it out for your self!
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$y killed the beat, as he does in every song, and in my opinion, Killa Kyleon is gettin' a lot better! Give it a watch, tell me what you think!
My Computer is a Lamee.
Whadd up?! Sorry for the significant lack of updates and posts here at Planet Koda. Earlier last week, my computer decided to stop working, and i just fixed it late last night. Also, school just started and i needed to get a hold on that first and foremost. So, i wanted to apologize for not updating this week. Now that the computer is working again, i will be posting and updating every day again! So keep checking in for some new stuff!! (:
they sayin sky’s the limit, how bitch? I’m moonwalkin!"
UNDFTD 2010!
Wow, this is definitely my favorite collection in a while! This is the 2010 fall/winter collection for UNDFTD. It turned out great! UNDFTD has always had a strong graphic tee game, but for this collection it seems they have worked on there overall game! Bringing in some dope button ups, jackets, sweats, jeans and coats! Check out some of the pictures below, and see the rest here......
Tahiry!
Rapper Joe Budden's Ex- Girlfriend, Tahiry Jose got the spot for Eye Candy in XXL magazines 13th birthday issue! You can check out her interview, and the rest of her photos Here.....
In The Cut.
Here's the video for "In The Cut", off of the Kush and Orange Juice Mixtape that was dropped by Wiz Khalifa earlier this year! The beat for this track is mellow and has a good vibe! The video just feels like a party, so its pretty cool!
All I Know!
KiD Ink! Yeeee, about a month ago or so i did a post about him, talking about how he just keeps getting better, and keeps putting out hits! Well here is just another example, song and video are both on point! Kid Ink has a unique flow, but i gotta say its a hella nice flow! Anyway, check out the video and watch Kid Ink Charge into the game!
Pilot Talk Two!
When you think of Curren$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.
Finally Famous Is Finally Here!
Whooo, The Highly anticipated Finally Famous Vol.3 Mixtape has officially been dropped, via XXLMag.com. The Mixtape, as everyone expected is FIRE! The beats are dope, and Sean has that extra nice flow throughout the entire mixtape! He sure is making a name for not only himself, but the rest of G.O.O.D Music as well! Anyway, Peep the artwork, click the link, and listen to this mixtape, its on point!
Harry Delano Interviews Koda!
Alright, so i got the chance to be interviewed by my boy Harry Delano from http://officialharrydelano.blogspot.com/, be sure to check out his blog, drop some comments and follow! Tell me what you think of the interview!
1. So Dakota, tell us a bit about yourself?
Whadd up? My name is Dakota "Koda" Tague, I am about to turn 16, and I'm originally from Manhattan.
2. How did you start your blog?
My interest toward blogging came from surfing the web, looking at sited like Hypebeast, and SlamxHype, and the Red Ribbon Army! I saw these, and thought it would be a cool thing to get into, because like these sites, I loved streetwear/fashion/hip-hop culture etc.
3. Who or what inspired you?
To be honest, I'm not really inspired by a single person, or people at all. I'm more inspired by ART as a whole, when i see someone on their grind, doing what they love, that's what motivates me. It could be anything from Music, to drawing, to how someone dresses to graphic design! I guess I'm really just inspired by people doing what they love, by expressing themselves and trying to make it big!
4. Who are your inspirations?
If I did have to choose actually people for my inspiration, I would have to say Drake and Tupac would be my main inspiration, because they are doing what they love, expressing themselves, and when you hear their work, it can move you, and it something you can easily relate to, because they express everyday problems! At the same time, I'm inspired by the majority of bloggers on the web, just for doing them, people like Remy and Ricci Steez, who use their talent to create true art!
5. Who are some of your favourite artists?
This list could go on for days! Drake, Tupac, Biggie, Mac Dre, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Macklemore, Short Dawg, Weezy, Tyga, NWA. Music is something I love, so I truly have hundreds of favorite artists, because they are all different! That's a little list for you though!
6. What is your favourite website?
You mean other then PlanetKoda.blogspot.com? (;
One website I always find myself on is Adeen Nyc!
7. What are your favourite brands?
That's another tough one! I really like Freshjive, BBC, Breezy Excursion, Dope Couture! So many more though!
And Skeme! you guys will learn about Skeme later though!
8. In three words, how would you describe your fashion style?
Adaptive, Creative and Fresh!
9. Can you tell us a bit about Skeme?
I will tell you that I have been taking classes on screen printing and silk screening. Also have been working on getting all the materials I need for that. When it comes to Skeme, it isn't just a brand, or a movement I'm trying to create. Skeme isn't just some name your going to see on material products. Skeme is a way of life, it's me and my homies way of life. Always Skemin' for another way to make that paper, Skeme is our grind. I hope that makes sense, Skeme is everything from my blog, to the music I listen to, to the bed I sleep on! It's how we get by, always making up a new Skeme to make it in this world!
10. What are some of your goals in life?
I have many goals, but my one and only main, true goal is.... To be happy, and live life to the fullest!
11. Anything else you want say?
Check out my blog, I love feedback from all you guys! Drop comments, show love!

Pimp C (Ft. Drake & Bun B) - What Up
Pimp C, What up? This track is Dope! New favorite for sure! its nice to hear Pimp C! Drake got that nice flow as usual, Bun B kills it (as expected). Anyway, this song titled "What up", is the first single off of "The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones". Listen to it, download it, spread it! R.I.P Pimp C!
Lil' Wayne - Cascades! (No DJ)
Here's a new Track by Weezy! Its called "Cascades". The flow is nice, sounds really crisp, with a relaxed beat. As always, Wayne kills it! However, its short and sweet, i wish it was a lot longer! Although that might mean, a longer, more full version will be dropped soon! Until then, Free Weezy!
Tyga! (Video)
Whoaaa, Hold Up! First off i have to say, Tyga has been on point lately! I'm impressed, he is really starting to charge into the game now, First with his Single, and Video "Im On It". Now with this Video, and an album on the way! This video is DOPE! Both of Tyga's videos have been really done well, especially this one, and his flow, as always is NICE! The rest of the game better watch out for Tyga, and the rest of Young Money!
Drake's Letter To Aaliyah.
Dear Dana,
I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!
Love you always and forever,
Drake.

What’s poppin?!
Me, I’m good, figured I’d update my glorious fans again. Better sooner than later right? I’ll try to do this more frequently.
Well ain’t nothing going on in here but the time, which seems like it’s taking forever. I’m trying to make the most out of every second tho, mentally. There’s some pretty cool people in here. Even though this isn’t a cool place to be. I’ve learned plenty already and the best lesson is to not come back. Last night, I kicked ass in UNO! Anyway, that’s neither here nor there. Just thought I’d let y’all know. Gotta stay hydrated. Though it’s hot, I still work out. Now don’t be expecting me to look like Hercules when I get out, but I should be a little bulky. I guess. Anyways, please remember to always check for your name in the “thank yous”. I’m always reading letters and responding. Off the subject but hey Chris, I think you should team up with Kobe! Go Lakers! Hey Lindsey, glad it’s over doll. I should have written her huh? Young Money, you’re the best I ever had. Look out for Nino 3, and I Am Not A Human Being. Coming soon. Mother, I love you. Nae, you’re my angel. Lil Tunechi Jr., you’re the man. Lil Kam, you’re the best heartbreaker. Lil Neal, you’re the littler meatball.
I love you all!
-TuneChi
Mr. Rager!
Kid Cudi never seems to let down! The Snippet of Mr. Rager has been out for a bit, but now you can listen to the whole thing.
