Somber Note: Eight & Nine Alliance til forever.... TORO R.I.P. - "What it do SON!"

10.19.08 - Eight & Nine Alliance Update:

This is a tough one for me, it's personal and straight from the heart. As time passes, the world gets crazier and crazier. People take more pride in gun talk and bravado then they do in respect, dignity, and general principles. Saturday, the Eight & Nine Alliance lost a soldier and I lost a friend, a good one. When I came to Miami, the music scene wasn't much to speak of on a National level. There was no Rick Ross, no Cool & Dre, no Fat Joe living in Miami, no Weezy, no video shoots every other week. This city, with a few key players and a ton of grinding put itself on the map. With that being said, some people are responsible and one of them is TORO.

Toro, put in his work, he was always everywhere, he was respected not feared, loved not taken for granted. From the first day, I ever met Toro, West of 7th Ave of course. I saw in his eyes that the kid was the truth, we shared a very simple respect of two people that understood we'd make it, be on top, and connect to cross our paths, join forces and further our movements. In the meantime, we kept on trucking. From Pitbull's first video shoot ever, Trick Daddy with the Ozzy Osbourne sample, all the way to Shawty Lo and Mrs. Officer, Toro, you were everywhere homie and we never forgot to show each other the love and respect we earned seperatey but shared together. You were my man, a real dude and one that I won't forget. I remember one of the days we talked about taking over the industry and came with the plan to get you 100k cd's produced overseas for 10 cents each and sell them for a dollar. 10 times the initial investment recouped and 100k units in the streets. Genius plan, when I saw you with that stack of discs professionally packaged, ready for retail, I was impressed. I think I smiled for a week because I knew you were going to make it. We never even had a followup conversation you just took the initiative and made it happen. Its small things like that why, we respect you.

In this tragedy big homie, this loss that we don't want to endure the look on your face when I saw you over this past birthday weekend is emblazed on my mind, fresh off a new deal, 2 chains on and the keys to that brand new car! That was a great day. Happy isn't the word, I'm dam proud of you. There's a list of reasons why your name will be spoken proper and your legacy will live on. This city owes you, you have my word that the streets are proud of you, the industry respects you and the people miss you already!

To the people, the 8&9 Alliance, the fans of Toro and the people who rock with us. I appreciate if you take the time to call 99 Jamz and remind them that Toro went hard for his city, he repped 99 100% of the time. Toro's single "RIDE" should be in steady rotation at this point, featuring Rick Ross, its a banger.

866.991.Jamz is the request line #. It doesn't matter what city you are in. Please call and request the record. It means a lot to me. Below is a music player and a link for your myspace pages, facebook, blog and anything else you think you want to do with it. Please do. Thank you.

8&9 Designs: Press Update Feature on www.sneakermestupid.com

8.13.08 - Eight & Nine Designs featured on http://www.sneakermestupid.com/ click either picture for the full article. Check it out. Leave a comment. We appreciate you! Sneakermestupid.com is a traveling sneaker showcase, street wear and sneaker news blog that covers all the most current releases and forecasts trends. It is hard to find a better source for sneaker and street wear culture news. We are grateful for the feature and its a good one. Check it out.

WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE 8&9?
8&9: Basically represents strength in numbers. Eight and nine are the last two single digits in the number system. In any culture these numbers are constant… never changing as they appeal to everyone whether they surf, skate, or are involved with the street/urban culture. Numbers are a universal language!WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE OF THE IDEOLOGY OF 8&9?
8&9: Having lived in Boston, New York, and Miami there would have to be a mix of seeing and being involved with different aspects of life. The style we want to provide is eclectic and we were into skateboard culture before the X-games or street culture before it became commercial. We remain true to what we believe and stand for.
WHERE DOES THE DIFFERENTIATION COME FROM?
8&9: All the designs that we create through 8&9 have a deeper depth than the average person can pick up. We almost fill like we represent the 5% philosophy…being that 85% are drones, 10% rule the drones, and our 5% overstand as they understand our concepts.
(Owner Ray Guilbault)

8&9 redefines thought, style, and motivation. 8&9 says that “Before the street wear market ever existed 8&9 was merging music, art, and fashion with a fushion of skate & hip-hop swagger.”

8&9 Update, East River Park: KRS-ONE, KID CAPRI x 8&9 Cop Don't Shoot T-Shirt

Thursday, July 24: East River Park, East River between Grand & Jackson L.E.S.

This is pretty much historic, Kid Capri on the 1 and 2's & KRS-ONE live performing tracks like Criminal minded, ova here, south bronx, step into the realm and of course the bridge is over. The 8&9 Alliance was lucky to be in the building but the support/endorsement from KRS himself for Cop Don't Shoot is something we greatly appreciate.

In case you are under 16, live in the woods or just aren't familiar, KRS-ONE is a grammy-nominated iconic hip hop figure, and arguably one of the greatest ever. He's an outspoken MC and a ministry for revolutionary mind states that uplift and progress the community.

For these reasons and some personal ones, we are grateful to KRS for his sincere support and we look forward to doing bigger things together in the future!

Product update: 8&9 "CMYK" T-Shirt - Coloway Nike Thrashin Sb Dunk

Here is another Limited Edition 8&9 T-Shirt w/ an identical Nike Sb Color Match. This time it's the Thrashin Dunk Highs. Gold Box, but still a nice job on these. They say its white/chlorine blue. We say its CMYK, aka Cyan Magenta Yellow and Black or in this case, CIRCUMSTANCES MAKE YOUNG KILLERS. Eitherway, the hit is direct and delivered with the utmost precision.

Pre-orders shipped, now CMYK is uploaded to http://www.8and9.com/ - for those of you who bought early thanks again and you're welcome but we don't mind getting you in the streets with the perfect sb match early. ;-)

IDontWearSuits Update: "COP, DON'T SHOOT!!" T-Shirts ON SALE + Launch of a collective Facebook action to keep police brutality in the spotlight

COP, DON'T SHOOT!! (I am not carrying a gun): A collective facebook movement with a necessary positive message. This concept came as a submission to the Political T-Shirt Design Contest @ IDontWearSuits.com - The message is so necessary, urgent and timely that we couldn't resist sending it right to production and starting this facebook group to grow the movement and establish an outlet for discussion.

Facebook Group: Cop Don't Shoot! Fashion action of a StreetWear Brand against Police Brutality
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12639194097&ref=nf


CLICK THE PICTURE TO BUY IT NOW ONLY $19.89 WITH FREE SHIPPING!
For every T-Shirt sold, 3 more will be produced. Be a part of the movement.

(Back Print)

With facebook and IDontWearSuits.com we're starting a movement that actualizes the full potential fashion has to convey messages and impact the masses. This is our responsibility. We strongly believe that something needs to be done with the American Criminal Capture/Prosecution/Detention industry to restore JUSTICE and REHABILITATION. Remember when officers were "to protect and to serve" and when it wasn't strange to ask one for directions? Point is that the police are trained to mobilize like gangs so we are starting a movement using facebook and hopefully we can bring awareness to this problem and give people an outlet of expression with the Cop Don't Shoot T-Shirts. This is a powerful message and if everyone gets on board we can definitely make both noise and impact.

Pending the strong response you can expect us to answer with Sunkist colors to get you through the Summer! Just black and white for now. We appreciate your involvement in this group even if you don't buy a shirt but it would be great if you can tell your friends and invite them to the group!! The more t-shirts in the streets the bigger the movement will be and the stronger the message. Either way, your t-shirt is a billboard and people do comment/judge your style so make a statement that makes a difference!!!

For information on how to help us spread the movement email inquiries@8and9.com
