Tha Dogg Pound took to social media recently to let fans know about a new shoe, a Rogue sneaker, from Ewing Athletics paying homage to their debut LP, Dogg Food. According to Ewing’s site, “The ROGUE was one of the most in demand shoes of our past and has been brought back due to popular demand. Available for the first time since our comeback, the ROGUE features a forefoot cross strap support system coupled with neoprene midfoot inserts along with an EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning. Released in 1995, “Dogg Food” by The Dogg Pound, consisting of Kurupt and Daz, this classic album was released on Death Row Records to high sales and critical acclaim. We pay tribute to this landmark album with this collaborative Rogue, complete with special packaging and custom Dogg Pound branding and packaging.”

I grew up in Michigan, and graduated from high school in 2005. I then attended Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, where I majored in Music Business and received a Bachelor's of Business Administration Degree. During my time in school there, I began writing for Billboard magazine. And then, after contributing to a Nashville-based music site as a hip-hop correspondent, I was able to transition into a role as a features writer for AllHipHop.com. If Sidney Shaw from 'Brown Sugar' were to ask me, "When did you fall in love with hip-hop?", my answer would be Snoop Doggy Dogg and Coolio in the mid-90s. Therefore, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to now be at West Coast Styles and be conducting interviews and creating think pieces about how the culture has affected people, politics, and society as a whole. Peace and blessings to all.
