It usually only takes me a few seconds of listening to a song before I decide if I want it on my playlist. Generally, if I’ve heard a few minutes of a song, then I’ve heard them all. However, when you listen to A Day to Remember, you’ll need to play a track completely through in order to hear every element, because it might just change up on you.

One of the best ways to show support for something that you believe in, is to put your hard earned money behind it. The fans of legendary hip-hop trio, De La Soul has done exactly that, and quite successfully with their highly anticipated studio album, and the Anonymous Nobody The album is the first to be released by the group in 11 years. Amazingly enough, it wasn’t the long wait that has people talking about the record, but rather the fan-generated reserve of cash that paid for it all.

Nasty.
The word is usually an insult when used to describe a person (aside from a really good freestyle rapper, of course). But designer Mark McNairy wears it as a badge of honor. In fact, McNasty is his self-given nickname, and to say it has stuck is an understatement. It’s on his clothes, on his hats…it’s even spelled out in three-foot tall letters in his closet. His peers and anyone who’s been lucky enough to interview him will quickly tell you that he isn’t the friendliest guy in the world. If you see him in a photo or in person, there’s a good chance he isn’t smiling, or you’re getting a bird that doesn’t come with wings. You could say this explains the name. Still, there’s another reason why “Nasty” is so fitting to this man, and it’s not just because he seems cold as ice. It might just be because of his skills.
