BlakRoc Chevy Camaro











The other day we reported already about BlakRoc, the collaboration between The Black Keys and some of the biggest names in hip hop, including Mos Def, Q-Tip, RZA, Raekwon, Pharoahe Monch, Jim Jones, NOE, Nicole Wray and Billy Danze. Here we give you a look at the new BlakRoc Chevy Camaro.
“Carl Black Chevrolet will be the world wide exclusive outlet to offer the official BlakRoc Chevy Camaro.
The 2010 Chevy Camaro speaks for itself with its sculptured body and passionate engineering that left nothing to be desired. Carl Black has simply added the sizzle to match the passion and creativity of the BlakRoc project.
From the ground up, the BlakRoc Camaro has been equipped with sleek, stylish accents that tie in with the BlakRoc brand. Starting with the BR logo inlayed front and center.
Blacking it out turns up the heat. The windows are tinted, the taillights are smoked, and even the Chevy bow tie goes dark to complete the look. The Black on Black classic combination subtly comes to life with flat black racing stripes front to back with the BlakRoc logo inlayed in metallic on the hood and rear spoiler.
Interior includes the BlakRoc logo embedded in custom design kick plates and black on black BR logo custom embroidered on center console.”
The car is now available for purchase.

The Hundreds x DeLorean Motor Company Collection
















The Hundreds teamed up with the DeLorean Motor Company to pay homage the iconic DMC-12. “Each T-shirt is a different take on DeLorean and DMC-12 from a The Hundreds perspective, mirroring various Southern California car culture tees, while still maintaining an appealing design for our customer and DMC enthusiast alike. The New Era baseball cap is also a salute to DMC’s aesthetic. The 3 Adam Bomb emblems are indicative of the 3 letters on the car’s grill, and the undervisor pattern is derived from the DMC-12’s familiar back taillights.” A DMC-12 will be on display outside The Hundreds’ LA store this Thursday, and at the SF location this Friday and Saturday. The gear drops this Thursday at both locations.
