Stalley comes in and shows Nike how to release the real Cool Grey 11 in his latest video… but the real deal is that when the culture speaks of heads in Hip-Hop who are true to the game and have been at it for a while, the name that arises often is Stalley. While Drake…

1994 was the summer that Hip-Hop transitioned into the mainstream, but still held an edge that was both hardcore and lyrical. Nas dropped Illmatic, OutKast arrived from the South and The Chronic was spinning and playing out of every car in San Diego. I was introduced to 5% methodology (although never knowledged 120), Brand…
