New Shoes: Nike SB Dunk, “Yellow Curb”
Nike SB Dunk Low Premium “Yellow Curb.”
One of the more intriguing features on this shoe is the incorporation of elephant print. This texture is rarely used on Nike SB releases with the “Supreme” Nike SB Dunks being the most notable. Elephant print is smothered in embossed leather and appears on the toe area and heel panel; the latter area also contains a patent leather covering. The shoe’s overall makeup draws inspiration from the slippery curbs that skaters grind on. Other features include mesh on the toe box and grip tape on the side panels.

Vick & Eagles Deliver 59-28 BEATING to McNabb & Redskins
Last nights game between Philly and Washington, was a complete disaster for the Redskins. As a die hard fan, I was totally disgusted in how we played last night. However, Vick did his thing!! He played like a true Pro. It was exciting to see him at his best, because so many counted him out. Unfortunately, it was against my home team the Redskins.
In fact, in the 90 year history of the NFL, before last night, no player had ever done what Vick did, accumulating at least 300 yards passing, 50 yards rushing, four passing TDs and two rushing TDs in one game.
It comes down to this. In the wake of former Eagles quarterback, Donovan McNabb’s $78 million dollar, 5 year extension with the Redskins, we’re thinking hey, the wrong guy got the money.

Dre Black was determined to have his own band to play his discography of music that he has been creating for over nine years. He started his own fashion consulting/branding company, “Everything Gold:EGO” in 2007, and has worked with various organizations, radio personalities, and local entrepreneurs in establishing his brand. On a conquest to promote his music he wanted a band name that will not only promote his music but the company brand as a whole. EGOcentric was created taking the call letters from “Everything Gold,” and adding the Centric part to give it that edge.
Dre Black was born in Washington, DC to Charlotte and Granville Bell. He graduated from the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Fashion Institute of Technology and Marymount University. Dre started out singing in the church choir, he began to lead songs and his passion for song took over from there. He has performed all over the DC Metropolitan area, as well as in New York and Atlanta. He brings a certain energy and vibe to the stage and has a humbling presence about himself. He was featured in the DVD “Get Familiar,” with skateboarder Darren Harper, performed at WPGC’s “For Sisters Only” convention, and several of his original recordings have been featured on the top radio stations in Washington, DC. He is also an entrepreneur, establishing his “Everything Gold (EGO) LLC brand in April 2009. “Everything Gold” is a production and image consulting company that partners with other artists, producers, and designers. Dre’s passion for songwriting, music, dance, fashion, literary media, and social issues will open up many doors in an ever growing entertainment industry. However; his drive and determination to succeed will elevate him to maintstream successs.
Craig Green was born in South Georgia, and raised all over. A veteran of numerous bands, he’s played Blues in Portland, Punk in Gainesville, Fla., Classic rock in Northern Virginia, and now Soul in D.C. A musical nomad, Craig has been looking to scratch the groovy itch that gets a dance floor shaking, while playing songs that get the head bone itching. His last gig took him all over the DC metro area playing bars and weddings, and any gig that let him groove on a stage for all the beautiful peoples. A fan of all music, the only style he has yet to get behind is Opera — “There’s not enough dancing in that, sorry man, I can’t go for it.” –

A native of Baltimore, MD, Joel V. Holmes, Jr. began his musical journey on the kitchen floor – his instrument of choice: pots and pans. By the time young Joel reached the tender age of four years old, his parents found it wise to get him a real set of drums. Though Joel engaged himself in numerous other extra curricular activities, participating in band and playing drums in church was a steadfast desire for him. As a musical student of Ms. Betty McLeod at West Baltimore Middle School and Mr. Alvin Wallace at Baltimore City College High School, a rapidly rising Joel began to obtain the discipline and drive necessary to pursue a career in music. Upon earning a Bachelors degree in Music Education from Howard University in 2009, Mr. Holmes began to further solidify his dream of a career in music. He continues to dig deeply as he teaches elementary school music in Washington, DC. To date, Holmes has performed and recorded internationally with various ensembles and artists. Through music, he aims to inspire others – as so many have inspired him.

Phree White began singing at an early age in a very traditional location: Church. Her vocal career started at the age of 7 when she formed a singing and songwriting group with three other girls from her church and began performing every Sunday. The group disbanded, but Phree retained her love of singing and performing. Always musically inclined, Phree not only used her voice as an instrument but began playing the violin at the age of 6, the piano at the age of 10 and the saxophone at the age of 11. “My mother always knew where I was in the house when I was growing up, because there was always something playing around me. The radio, an instrument, me…” After graduating high school, Phree moved to Washington DC to pursue a degree at Howard University. While there she continued to work on fine tuning her vocal abilities while showcasing her skills at local open mics and competitions and through collaborations with other local artistis. Phree had the good fortune of meeting Dre Black in 2008 and was approached about joining the Egocentrics in 2009. Together with the rest of the band, she is dedicated to expounding on the soul-rock genre and taking over the world. She has a huge Ego – EGOCentrics that is.
