This season, we’re bringing you the highly anticipated “Cut & Sew” range. Polished and mature, the new collection effortlessly blends collegiate athleticism and style. The “RBG ,” “RBG Patchwork” and “Brooknam” jackets are each peppered with plenty of clever details. Colorful hand crafted prints (mixed with hand drawings by Mos Def) are set against sleek monochrome materials; Pops of zesty yellow and blood red are used to accent buttons, zippers and mesh linings. The mixture of bold prints set against streamlined design creates a contemporary fashion sensibility throughout the entire collection.

Take a look at the collection here with more shots after the jump. Props to Miss Cruz from UNDRCRWN for the heads up.

Dame is back. After a divorce, bankruptcy and just plain being clowned on by past business partners not just named Jay-Z, Dame is back. Aside from his upcoming Blac Roc music project, Mr. Dash will also be stepping back into film producing and already has a film in the works with Mos Def. Rumors have been swirling for awhile about this one but Dame recently confirmed with XXL that he is producing a documentary about an obscure all-black punk band named Death from the 1970s Detroit scene.

Dame says the movie has already started filming and that him and Mos will share production duties and Coodie and Chike, the Chicago-based directing duo known for their work on videos for Kanye West (”Through the Wire”), and Mos (”Ghetto Rock”), will be directing the flick. No word yet on release date or further details at this moment. Aside from this film project Dame also plans to launch a TV station called Creative Control with Coodie and Chike.

Basically, Mos Def’s next album will literally be sold through a t-shirt. The shirt will have “The Ecstatic” album cover on the front, track listing on the back and will include a special download code to download the entire album. Buy the shirt…get the album. Crazy thing is according to HipHopDX, SoundScan is going to count the t-shirt as an album sale. Sounds pretty cool…unless the shirt is ridiculously expensive.

Mos Def x Next Day Air. Mos Def will be starring in the upcoming urban comedy Next Day Air but there is one thing that his movie will be missing…the “N” word. Mos Def along with actor Wood Harris both challenged each other not to use the word on set or in actual filming as well. Harris stated:

“It was something that was very important to us. It was our way of making a statement that we can express ourselves without using the ‘N’ word,” Harris explained. “But it wasn’t just in the movie that we banned the word. We also banned it on the set. No one could say it at all.

“At first it was difficult, but we really stayed on top of each other,” he continued. “By the end of … filming, I don’t know if it was something that even came up. We just didn’t say it, and had no desire to. I hope that other people will start trying to find new ways to express themselves as well.”

WoooHa applauds their efforts and from what we have seen Next Day Air looks to be a fun, crazy adventure. It’s moves like these that show urban films do not need to be stereotypical or stick to certain formulas to work. Movie comes out next week May 8th against Star Trek.

Mos Def x UNDRCRWN. We showed you a preview last week but now UNDRCRWN has just officially released the first series of their Mos Def Collection which are seven different t-shirt designs. UNDRCRWN designer Dustin Canalin states:

“We took Mos Def’s DNA and applied it to ours. Many of the items incorporate the colors and cover print from the 2004 Dead Prez album Revolutionary But Gangsta, but also include personalization from Mos Def‚Äôs own life. A lot of it is just playing around with the unexpected, and saying, ‚ÄòPeople always do this, let‚Äôs go a completely different route.‚Äô”

The collection will be released in two phases, starting with the t-shirts. Check out the rest of the first installment from the Mos Def Collection after the jump.

Mos Def x House. Mos Def is one of the few rapper/actors that doesn’t have to rely on TV guest appearances to build up his Hollywood reputation. He already has a full blown acting career and more important, has won over the hearts of producers and directors for his past performances. However, it’s hard to turn down a guest spot on a top rated TV show.

Mos Def will guest star on the hit FOX show “House” on March 23rd. In the episode Mos plays Lee, a man who awakens in New York after a bicycle accident who is unable to move or communicate in any way. House, then gets into a motorcycle injury himself and occupies the hospital bed next to Lee and quickly annoys the doctors treating them both by insisting that Lee has “locked-in” syndrome. From there it’s up to House to save Mr. Def.

Mos Def will be making his way back onto the big screen with the upcoming action/comedy film Next Day Air. Check out the trailer and poster art here. Movie hits theaters May 8, 2009. Via: CL
