AUDIO: CHRIS SUTTON FT. PREME - FIRST IN FLIGHT [RTF PREMIERE]

This is an official RTF Premiere...
Remember that dude who kicked off the first BET Cypher group that was dropped before the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards?  That's the homie Chris Sutton, an up and comer out of Northern Kakalaki who can rap for days if he wanted to.  Dude always brings consistent bars to the mic and if you haven't heard anything from him before, realize that you will be hearing his name from here on out.
With his latest project EPisode One  in the works, Sutton is re-releasing "First In Flight" featuring Preme as the latest single from it and we are happy to bring it to you.

KANYE WEST PREMIERES "READY TO WEAR" COLLECTION AT FASHION WEEK IN PARIS

So just a few hours ago, Kanye West revealed his highly anticipated women's line during Paris Fashion Week. A lot of people have been waiting to see what Kanye has been putting together, so that means a lot of elite fashion enthusiasts and prominent names in the industry were in attendance for this.  Many people scratched their head on the thought of Ye doing something of the sort, but you gotta respect his fresh on this one.  Yeezy actually put together a bold collection for the ladies, entitled the "Ready To Wear" collection.  It is expected to see a release for the Spring/Summer 2012 season, but the name of his label has yet to receive a name.  I don't know whether or not if it's just a secret or if he just has yet to think of one.  One thing's for certain is that the collection is dedicated to his late mother.

UPDATE: The name of the line is called DW, in honor of Kanye's mother Donda West.

Although Yeezy is sure to receive plenty of cosigns and compliments from his collection, he did receive a number of harsh criticisms from some significant names who attended the event.  Style editor of the International Herald Tribune, Jessica Michault went on to say, "The Kanye West show, in my humble opinion, is proof that everyone can love fashion but not everyone can be a fashion designer."

Names such as Ciara, Anna Wintour, Jared Leto, Terry Richardson, Lindsay Lohan, The Olsen twins, Olivier Theyskens, Silvia Fendi, Alexander Wang, Carine Roitfeld and more were spotted at the 9:30pm (Paris Time; 3:30pm NY time) show.

Here are some details via Lady Info:

• -Kanye enlisted respected British designers Louise Goldin and Katie Eary for his line: Eary said, “[Kanye]’s such a dedicated designer. It’s not what everybody would think—he’s more dedicated than I am. The time and the travel that he puts in is unbelievable. I feel jealous at his commitment.”
• -shoes were specially made by Giuseppe Zanotti (an italian shoe line that tends towards the flashy, pointy, rhinestone and shiny side)
• -Kanye’s new line is being handled by fashion publicity powerhouse Karla Otto, the same pr flack who handles Jil Sander, Marni, Pucci, etc.
• -The show is being presented at a Paris middle school, called Lycee Henri IV. SeeMTVStyle for photos of the entrance

I've compiled as many photos as I could from various sources who attended the runway show, so enjoy.  Shoutout to Chisanga and Miss Info.

ANARCHY SUNGLASSES 'BURST PACK' (DETAILED LOOK)

As always, the homies over at Anarchy keep us decked out in fresh by sending over their latest sunglasses release, 'The Burst Pack'. While I wasn't particularly a fan of the stills they originally posted, in person the shades definitely won me over. The Sunburst shades feature Anarchy's favorite fame, the transfer and also feature a shiny reflective lens (which sorta reminds me of Oakley's Frogskin lenses, but better). The Purple Burst shades (my favorite) feature a murdered out frame and lens with a resin colored Anarchy logo seen on the side of the shades. Overall the the 'Burst Pack' receives an A-, only because I would have liked to have seen the Sunburst shades and those dope reflective lenses accented with a red or orange frame. You can get these over at www.AnarchyEyewear.com for only $50 a pair.

Vicus is set to record three songs in the up-coming weeks in Johannesburg, and is already attracting high-profiled producers such as Steve Morales, who have recorded with big names stars such as Celine Dion, Enrique Inglesias, and Christina Aguilera. It is said that Steve Morales will be arriving in South African shortly to start recording with Vicus. *RTF EXCLUSIVE* What is the first song the 11th grade Vicus will record? The song titled These Arms, by All-for-One; the same song that brought Vicus to fame on Youtube as he sang and won over all of our hearts.

NEWS: WHERE IS VICUS? (SOUTH AFRICA'S JUSTIN BEIBER) UPDATE

*UPDATE* Almost a week has passed since we last talked about Vicus, the 17 year old singing phenom from South Africa. Today we are able to tell you from the help of our RTF sources, that the talent agents from Sony BMG, Universal, Atlantic, and Def Jam Records have yet to find the kid who is "said" to be as good as Justin Beiber and is being compared to the late Michael Jackson. It is said to be a combination of the families strong religious background that is keeping Vicus from inking any deal; being that the family realizes the U.S's fascination with celebrities, and they do not wont their son to get lost in the so- called "spotlight".

*RTF Exclusive*- It is said that young Vicus only sings and plays the guitar one day of the week as he gears most of his time/energy to his schooling.

So the word on the street is that Sony BMG, Universal, Atlantic, and Def Jam Records all have their talent agents searching for this little boy named Vicus in South Africa......
