In all seriousness, will.i.am’s celebrity-soaked “Yes We Can” video was amazing. But it was also, well, kind of serious. Just out as a solo project from Ti$a – front man of the three-man musical powerhouse known as Sa-Ra and a founding member of the group — and directed by graffiti man/DJ/hip hop producer/filmmaker Kenzo, “Obama Way” snags all the fun and irreverence that “Yes We Can” declined.

Despite intoning “this is real and not for play, I’m-a vote Obama way”, this video takes up a different spirit of all those Obama kids, some too young to vote themselves, who ended up spending school breaks knocking on doors in Texas and Ohio.

Here’s the thing: it doesn’t really feel like a publicity stunt. “Obama Way” has a political cut, but it’s also a sign that this ‘Obama Generation’ is not just a constituency group; it’s become the historical touchstone of a generation, a cultural reference for artists.

Also — best line ever: “We hood! We votin’! And throwin’ in up!”

10Deep has released a second installment of its spring collection, Rise of the 1oth Brigade. Named after the thought that “strength lies in the hands of the individual (10 fingers),” 10 Deep is notoriously known for its flashy colors and designs when it comes to men’s New York wear.

Unlike Delivery One of the spring collection, The Champion Life, which had a more prepster-high society approach, Rise of The 10th Brigade takes us back to its urban roots with a more casual touch. With bright colors, bold statements, and 80s-inspired designs, the collection brings an edge back to the line that it was lacking.

Honestly, I love both collections but Rise of the 10th Brigade follows more in the direction of today’s fashion. With the amount of 80s pieces and offset colors in the latest trends it’s only expected that they’d re-launch.

For those who can’t find the line in a local retailer, it’s also available on the 10.Spot Webshop here. It’s the only spring ’08 update to the website, and the pieces will be carried in a limited amount.
