Dubstep DJ/Producer John ’12th Planet’ Dadzie dropped by the LA shop a few days ago. Fresh off his recent tour with Skrillex, and after putting on a dope set at one of our recent Check Yo Ponytail 2 events, 12th Planet rolled through to get an update on his wardrobe right before heading off to yet another one of his many shows this year as part of his current “The End Is Near” tour.

If you follow Mishka then you know John is family and we are always glad to have him stop by and just shoot the shit for a while. As usual he shared some info on upcoming projects and tour dates which to my surprise seem never ending. I don’t know how this dude does it but I admire his ability to play shows night after night without much of a break. Be sure to check out his Facebook page for updates on his current tour and make it a mission to catch him before time runs out.

Man o man o man… For an LA native, music producer & emcee The Alchemist is one of Los Angeles’ hip hop & music community’s pride & joy. Do Cypress Hill, Soul Assassins or DJ Muggs ring a bell? Yea exactly… And for me as a junior high kid, I first heard Al’s music on Defari’s (LA emcee & high school teacher) classic album Focused Daily.

All hip hop heads should be quite familiar with him as well with production, credits & a discography that is seemingly endless: Mobb Deep, Dilated Peoples, Ghostface, Nas, RA the Rugged Man, Pharoahe Monch, Capone-N-Noreaga, Pun, Styles P, etc etc etc etc etc etc. Those were just the ones that immediately came to mind. Oh yea he deejays for this dude named Eminem, that is all…

So for Alchemist to show love for Мишка & our Death Adder Nation, I can’t lie…I was semi geek’d. He even shared a story of lurking our online store for that DA Varsity jacket which we had a surprise for him when we stitched his name on it. It’s also worth mentioning he is one of the most humble and easy going people you will come across. He’s currently got a project out with Stones Throw artist Oh No called Gangrene that they are touring overseas for.

And they will be doing dates across the US soon so be on the lookout for that. Peep our man Action Bronson’s hilarious cameo in Gangrene’s new video for “Vodka & Ayahuasca.” Stay in tune for some Alchemist bangers with Bronson, eXquire & Roc Marci to name a few…

Destroy M Snapback ($32.00 $16.00)

Prepare for the Destroy M Snapback. This hat makes it look like you enjoy watching team sports, even though you would rather be smoking a bowl and watching Family Guy like back in 02′ (That’s mad ancient). Bring back that feeling of classic, bold styling. Run your digits across the M, feel the texture? Next, prepare a sacrifice for Saint Clement of Ohrid. Excellent. Available in Black, and Blue. Featuring a big capital chenille M on the front, and “destroy” embroidered on the back, you are sure to stay true. Each colorway will really bring out your eyes. “Looks sharp” says your Uncle Paul.  You could even pair this hat with one of our warm versatile collared shirts. That would be dope too.

Personally, the Destroy M Snapback is one of my favorites from the Holiday Collection. This hat clearly states which side you play for, simply because of how official it is. I like the clean, professional look of this particular hat. We got that big ol’ M baybee! You can blend in with this hat, or you can bug out. This is the kinda shit we strive for at Mishka. Giving you options.

If anything has been holding you back up to this point, certainly the HALF-OFF savings should clear that right up. We’re practically giving this stuff away! “Is it infested with snakes and curses?” you may ask. No… of course not. That would be ridiculous.

In both of our stores and online, items from Fall and Holiday are all available for you 50% off. I learned the repetition thing from used car salesmen. 50%. Savings. It’s finally a little chilly, so snag a jacket for just over $130. Damn: savings! T-Shirts? $16? I’ve spent more at McDonalds. These savings are literally insane! What are you waiting for?

Rock Is Still King T-Shirt ($32.00 $19.20)

There are countless dope aspects to a tee shirt with a huge print of a severed zombie head. I will attempt to go over some of these beneficial aspects with you. Throw it on.  Feel protected. People will tend to stay back when they are walking near you for fear that you are are an unstable maniac. Who would wear a tee with such a sickening graphic on it? You fucking would, wouldn’t you? Throw up your middle finger and keep walking with your head down.

Another great feature of this tee is your friends will be able to find you easily in a crowded place. Yes, it’s true. It’s a great feeling being at a concert and you know who ever is standing behind you can bear witness to the illustrative genius that is Jon Vermilyea. With this flip on Rodney Mullen’s classic deck, everyone knows you have great taste in shirts. They say to their roommate ”Who ever is wearing that shirt with Simon emerging from fire, holding a guitar in one hand, and a severed head in the other is fucking badass.”

Did I mention there’s a hoodie version too? Hoods do a lots of amazing things in the urban environment. Conceal your identity on the mean streets, then take the hood off when you go in the store. Not wearing a hood can deter suspicion. That’s just smart. Another great thing about this hoodie is it’s a zip up. Thats right, control the level of zip. Want to take it low? Whoa,.. not that low…wait, I’m fine with that. Are you chilly? Want to zip it all the way up to your chin? Thats cool too. I want you to feel comfortable while you intimidate people. Part of our Мишка Archives collection, the Rock Is Still King graphic is not one you should pass up a second time. It’s available in White, Black, Blue and as a zippered hooded sweatshirt.

Forcefield Toggle Coat ($273.00)

Who doesn’t love a good toggle coat? Y’know what? Probably a good bit of people. But y’know who doesn’t love a GREAT toggle coat? No one. Not a soul on this earf (welcome to it). The sleekest and most rugged of our new Holiday Jackets, the Forcefield Toggle Coat is a force to be reckoned with. All weathers will be rebuffed. Coldness? Fuck outta here!

The hefty hood is faux-fur lined to keep your ears and general dome piece warm as all get out, but don’t think we forgot about the rest of the torso. There’s red flannel lining in there too. More than anything though, just the simple pleasure of stealing through the night, all black err’thing, a dark shadow drifting in and out of snowdrifts. This is your element. With the Forcefield Toggle Coat, that is.

Keep Watch New Era Fitted Cap ($47.00)

Dear Мишкаteers,

It’s with a heavy heart that I cede my position as Мишка’s copywriter to Whole Milk. For years you, my audience, have thrilled to my product descriptions in the online store, my press releases and Steady Peddlin’ column. Maybe I was starting to treat this company’s copy writing like some form of shitty therapy where I kept forcing myself to share more and more of my inner world than was probably appropriate when I should have just been writing about Мишка’s funky fresh new hats and shirts. This is my final Steady Peddlin’ column. After this I will peddle steadily no more forever.

I came to the office to receive my final paycheck a week ago and while I was there I got to meet the shitheel that they replaced me with. He stood up and turned around and it was like I was looking at a version of me I know longer got to be. He had a full head of hair, a mustache and a white jean jacket. His face was smooth and clean like a saxophone. I looked into his smug, employed eyes and thought,”You flashy son of a bitch. Why can’t I still be like you?” When I first came to Мишка five years ago my hairline was about a full inch closer to my eyebrows and I had a big dumb mustache. I dressed like a goof and girls liked me. As I shook my replacement’s smooth young hand and looked into his face I said “Hello” and “Good luck” when what I wanted to do was collapse to the floor and cry because I know that I’ll never be young again.

They say that when an airplane goes down that it’s not because one thing went wrong but because five things have gone wrong all at once. Besides having lost my career at Мишка I’ve been living in the shadow of my last romantic relationship that crumbled last month over an argument that seems silly now. I never knew a girl who played more games than this last one. She was never satisfied, just like Prince’s mother.  Every couple of weeks she’ll text me some bland pleasantry or insult. I think I’m expected to chase her. I was so glad to be rid of her for nine days and then on the tenth day I was overwhelmed with misery.
