news flash...caps can live longer
Cap cleaner
Ok, ok, so you just got home, you take off your new era cap, still with the tag on. You put it down for a second and then you notice something on the cap… what, ketchup stain, or is it chilli sauce from that kebab? It doesn’t matter.
Quickly you rush to the kitchen and locate your cap cleaner… oh you have not heard about cap cleaner? Come on up your speed bruv! Cap cleaner is the new thing for the roads. It’s a study basket that keeps your cap in shape, especially that precious straight peak.
I have been waiting for this for ages, after I realised that he dry cleaners had no idea what was going on… yes my cap was ruined. I won’t name the establishment but ok.
So if you want to keep your cap crisp, then keep it real with a cap cleaner.

hoodies up
ok lets talk bout street politics, It seems to me that most people on the "street level" don’t think politics affects them, wrong! Politixs (lets spell it with a x to make it cool) affects everyone everywhere.
Music can also be political, depending on how you look at the lyrics and so on, for example Sean Paul's new beat on road seems a bit swag and repetitive until YOU actually listen to what he is saying.
The Mitchell Brothers had a hit with routine check, but the real issue here was about “youts in creps” being stopped and searched for no reason. This is even bigger in light of the new terrorism laws.
SO.....this leads me neatly on to an article about hoodies. If you have not guessed already then its related to the picture above. The website featured above is the promo site for Lady Sov's new road banger. Its all about the hoodie. Yes that inflammatory piece of clothing that makes every one around feel intimidated, yeeeeah right.
There was a in the news recently about banning hoodies in public places and giving people ASBOS for using hoodies, sounds a lot like bullhitz to me.... The real issue here is not anti social behaviour its freedom of expression. Britain is fast becoming a legal dictatorship. This worries me.
to find out more about the hoodie and why it is not anti social, check out Sov’s minisite . Its actually informative, also check for flicks of Tinchy, Breeze, Terror Danjah and Jammer in the hoddies.
Remember if you see one of these hoodlums contact Grimestoppers anonymously on fipuncut@gmail.com
Cover 2:
Lady Sovereign:
A Common Phenomenon , "Lady Sovereign can cultivate a broad appeal because there aren't questions about her authenticity. You can't say she's not street enough because she never talks about the drug game or killing people. You can't question her political credibility because she never calls herself a freedom fighter."

global sports
If you have seen the video for Unorthodox's No help no handouts then you know where shepherds Bush is. If you have not please get up on that. Shepherds bush is also famous for the crazy baromoeter that stands in the middle of the roundabout. It also has an amazing 24 hour shop called bagel bite. But this whole article is mainly on Global Sports
We first made contact with Global sports in July of 2004, and since then they have gone on to build a reputation so much so that they have been recognised by New Era as one of the official stockists of caps. Apart from this they do their own brand of customisation and garments and also crepes.
If you are ever in Shepherds Bush market and you need some fresh garms then you know where to go. I have heard rumours that Wiley and other members of the grime fraternity have been spotted here. Also footballers from certain west London teams have come in for customised soles.
Based in the grittier end of shepherds bush you can find the main shop nearer the Goldhawk Road side of the market. The kiddies store is based closer to the Uxbridge Road side of things.
If you ever need personal help just ask for Marcel and he will give you a helping hand. The FIP crew recommends this shop for the wide selection of hats, and if you are a hat freak like me then you need to check it out.
At the moment they have the new Bathing Ape crepes in, limited and exclusive but go check em.
This shoot went quite well. Watch for the update and the flicks from the shoot. Big up Samantha Cooper for the make up, Samina Hurry and Russel for photography, Kevin and Angel for looking so beautiful in the pictures. And of course the staff at global
