Kicks Through the Lens (Week 3 of Playoffs)

Kicks Through the Lens (Week 3 of Playoffs)

Week 3 of the NBA playoffs saw some great battles that came right down to the wire. The Oklahoma City Thunder gave it all they had but fell just one game short of defeating the Houston Rockets in their first round series. Unfortunately Chris Paul’s great run of HBCU CP3.XII customs have come to an end for the season. Will the Houston Rockets have what it takes to take down the Lakers along with LeBron and A.D.? The Toronto Raptors narrowly escaped being down 0-3 in their second round matchup against the Celtics, and have since tied that series at two games apiece. Khris Middleton played hero in carrying the Milwaukee Bucks in game 4 against the Heat, escaping what would have been a sweep by Miami.

 

P.J. Tucker is just not playing fair with his kick game, and he knows it. Tucker is sporting shoes on court in colorways that most people didn’t even know existed. Whether it’s P.E. Jordans, unreleased OG Kobe models, or sample Lebrons – P.J. just outshines the competition. Rajon Rondo has been seen wearing Lebron 17’s and Kobe 1’s in this series against the Houston Rockets. Apparently Rondo’s deal with Anta expired over the summer so he (currently) has free rein to rock any brand of sneakers he chooses. Paul George even broke out an old Pacers color scheme of his Nike PG 1’s. Is the PG 1 George’s best sneaker in his line?

SZA Returns With Hit Different, Featuring Ty Dolla $ign

SZA is back with her new Ty Dolla $ign-assisted single “Hit Different,” accompanied by a stunning video, marking the artist directorial debut.

SZA hits us with the same hypnotic melodies that fans loved on her debut album Ctrl, coupled with Ty’s smooth flow anchoring the song with a catchy hook. This is a promising return to the spotlight.

Produced by The Neptunes, the mid-tempo bop showcases SZA’s hypnotic melodies alongside Ty’s smooth flow. Along with the song, she has released a stunning video, marking her directorial debut.

The Neptunes-produced is a dream collaboration for SZA as she told Apple Music in a recent interview.

“I can’t really wrap my head around the experience and I think more so I’m fangirling off of having a track produced by probably the most formative producers and artists for me when I was growing up,” she said.

“I cried just explaining to Pharrell what he meant to me growing up here in the burbs—being one of five black people in my radius. It just was really crazy because you have your idols in your mind and I avoid mine all the time in case it don’t go well. And I just was really astonished. Chad was just perfect and Pharrell was just perfect. It was too perfect.”

The stylish, SZA-directed video, finds her dancing with a group of women among broken-down cars through an auto junkyard as she recounts the highs and lows of an intoxicating relationship. Until taking a solo about three minutes in when the song’s tempo slows to an ambient chill.

It’s been three years since SZA released her debut album, but the long-awaited follow-up to Ctrl is finally seems to be in the near future with this single.

“ I just really want to put out more music and more—this body of work that I’ve been working on…everything sounds different,” she said. “But it all sounds like me. But I realized…as long as the essence of me is in it I’m not really stressed about continuity or making sense to anybody. I’ve been making a shit ton of music. If you really leave it up to me, ain’t no telling when shit’s gonna come out because I have anxiety… I’ve never felt so loose in the world before.”
