I hope there will be more like this from the ATL rapper soon.

Oh Spongebob, you do get around, don’t you? After hooking up with japanese heavyweights Bape, he’s back; except, this time, it’s the streets that brought him back.

Fresh new track from Lupe Fiasco; a remix of the classic “Dope Boys” joint from his mixtape The Coolest. There are features from DC rapper Wale (signed to Mark Ronsons label Allido Records) and Canadian emcee and producer Kardinal Offishall.

We just got word of this fresh tee featuring Weezy’s trademark tatoos; the shirt is based on the tupac version (also going by the name “Tatoo’d Up”) and I have to say, I’m digging this shirt. With The Carter 3 going Platinum first week, there’s …

Compton is the birth place of West Coast gangster rap - the harsh streets were narrated by the likes of Dr Dre and Eazy E. Hip-Hops monumental NWA track Straight Outta Compton literally paved the way for the entire West Coast to appear as a heavyweight in the …

The Rocawear “R” Short Line are one of the most popular summer trends; they’re in very high demand, and for good reason. Rocawear have always been known for their use of high quality materials (such as Rhinestone, which the little “R” is made …

Everyone is watching the beef between Buck and 50 lately, but they’re missing out on all of the good shit that’s been dropping in between; take this mixtape for example - it’s one of the illest tapes we’ve heard in the …

Do we even have to explain this? Honestly, this is a dope shirt!

Was it worth the wait?

Not so long ago in 1979 (well, okay - I wasn’t even alive then) the population of Elephants in the world was over 1.3 million; today, that number stands at under 500,000. That’s almost a 50% decline in Elephant-babies. That’s bad… So, our heroes at concept-label Scifen decided …

PS. Make sure you watch him spit above. Fire.

It’s pretty much a fact; you know you’re doing something right if you have haters. We get hate (e)mail all the time - apparently what we cover is not ‘urban wear’. Right. Do you think we give a rats ass? No. So like Katt Williams says, if you’ve got 14 haters, you’ve …

This one is for all of the hustlers our their addicted to getting that green; the shirt features a creative design based on the primary currency’s the world currently revolves around. As far as we can tell, this is an exclusive design and is only available at MixUnit - …

Young Jeezy fans will be familiar with the phrase “can’t ban the snow man!”, but if you’re not a regular Jeezy listener then we’ll recap quickly: basically, coke sellers used to wear snow man shirts to identify themselves to others as a dealer. The cops caught on to this, and tried to ban …

This is not the first time Algierz and UGK have collaborated together in the past, but previously there has never been a straight up Bun B shirt for the label; that has now changed! Algierz have just dropped this gem, and Bun specifically asked for them to pay respects to the Pimp in …

Destroy NYC are a New York City based label (who would have guessed?) that were established in early 2003 – since then, they’ve been dropping heat every year.

I’m a huge fan of DC shoes, so I’m excited that this is the first time we’ve wrote about them here and I’m honoured I was picked to cover their latest offering.

Dubbed as the Black & White “Clocker SE”, these sneakers italicize an eye catching abstract gritty graphic which sets the …

This week we have been covering quite a lot of up and coming labels; after all, we’re here to show you what’s hot, and heat doesn’t just come from the majors. We have up and coming labels contacting us every week for coverage, and sadly, a lot of the things we receive are junk. I’m not really sure what has …

The latest shirt from up and comer I Came From Nothing is another shiner in my eyes. Seriously - it’s about time the UK scene got some love! This high quality short sleeved black t-shirt has a great relaxed fit and features the text “Grime Pays.” I’m not sure whether grime really …

IC3 are fairly new on the scene, only being established in July of 2006 - but their momentum is quickly growing - as is their collection of clothing. Their latest range is perhaps the best I’ve seen from them yet; it truly is exciting to see an up and coming line bringing …

Brand new in from the dirty south clothing line Algierz (worn by the likes of T.I, Dipset and Young Jeezy) is this fresh new shirt. This one is for the block bleeders that like to roll in candy-painted wheels with 84’s and woodgrain. You know who you are.

Algierz has tentatively named …

We have mentioned these Bape G-Shock Watches here before, but we’ve never actually posted about them. So, I took it upon myself to make a post about one now. I decided we’d be looking at the yellow version, simply because that’s my favourite (even though I own a white one) and also …

Me, being the only UK-based writer at Urban Lookout, often get asked the following question (I’ll quote the most recent variation of this question that I’ve received through the Contact Us page):
“Where is the best place to buy brands like Rocawear and LRG in the UK? I can’t find any decent online (or …

Streetwise are fairly new on the scene, and we’ve not covered any of their material before. I’m personally quite a big fan of them; there creative designs always make me smile. Streetwise are based in California, and almost all of their designs are heavily inspired …

It’s not often Phat Farm impress me (not these days, anyway) but they have done a great job with their latest accessory range - more specifically, their sunglasses. These Aviator Kanye West style shades and actually leaking with high quality awesomeness. They look so fly, it’s almost unheard of for Phat Farm …

This new shirt from Algierz’s 08 range features the fantastic dialogue “Quit Hating The South” and is designed by non other than Bun B and the recently deceased Pimp C, tentatively named after their pupular single “Quit Hatin’ The South”. The UGK duo have worn these …

This video has been going around the interwebs for around a month now, but despite that a lot of people still haven’t seen this classic footage. Basically, it shows a bunch of tourists filming when suddenly, along comes Busta Rhymes. They ask Busta for a photograph, but as he is on his way to the bathroom, he ignores them for a moment. This results in some woman calling him ignorant, which in turn makes Busta beat her down (not literally). The stupid British woman did deserve what she got though, I have to admit. I’m British and really, I hate that dumb chick. Video after the jump.

The Wu-Tang clan consists of some of the dopest rappers in the game - period. They run NY, and always have. That’s where the inspiration for this exclusive tee came from, after all. The “I wu NY!” tee shows off in style what you’re all about; true hip-hop. You …

First of all, I’d just like to say… Happy 50th post! Yep, that’s right. This post right here is our 50th post. It’s taken a few months, but we’re finally there!

Over the years, I’ve slowly been getting tired of Reebok. Some people may gasp in shock at that, but I don’t care - I said it. Reebok are becoming boring and repetitive. When Pharrell teamed up with ‘em and brought us the Ice cream line, I was happy; they finally tried something new. Let’s face it though - everything …

This is a classic tee from the boys over at MixUnit. Everyone just loves this shirt; no, really, everyone. Even Little Wayne himself has rocked this very shirt. Yep - that’s right. Weezy himself has worn this very shirt which recites the words “Fuck Rehab!” - How classy!

I’m sure you all want …

I wanted to post about this hoody for quite a while, but it was sold out everywhere; I didn’t want to put fake hope in peoples hearts. I’m nice like that. Well, guess what my fine readers? They are back in stock, so it’s time to write about the Bape Animal Kingdom …

Now I’ll be honest with you all - I’ve never heard of Bobby Fresh in my life, so I am presuming they are very new on the scene; as an urban writer, I know every urban brand there is. Bobby Fresh? Never heard of these guys, but this shirt has totally …

We’ve just got word that in the past month, somehow under our radar, a whole host of new Baby Phat wallets were released in to the wild. Well, that seems to be true as they are flooding the internet at jaw dropping prices! Seriously folks, I just grabbed one of these …

This new Sean John Leather jacket is one of the most sleek, stylish, cool yet still almost professional leather jackets we’ve seen here in a long time. Its common knowledge that Diddy has a thing for leather jackets (if you didn’t know that I suggest you check out a video of …

There are very few jackets out there that give this much of a luxurious feel for such a small price; and by very few, I mean basically none. This stunning brown Abercrombie hooded jacket features an irresistibly soft and smooth faux fur lined body and a dreamy twill …
