French Swagger

When it comes to mainstream fashion, the French are known for being at the forefront and can boast some of the best names in industry. It looks like this trend has followed onto the football pitch.

Les Bleus now arguably have the best swagger in football thanks to their new away strip created by Nike.

Inspiration looks like it comes from the sailor uniforms worn by the French at sea, with the navy/white colour scheme going on and it really works.

ATP All-Stars raising funds for Japan

After the devastating Earthquake and Tsunami that struck Japan earlier this month, players from the ATP Tour got together and took part in a 40-minute Football Match for Hope against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers to raise funds for the victims of the disaster.

The match took place in Miami on Wednesday evening and the Fort Lauderdale Strikers came out victorious winning the game 4-2.

Great Britain's Andy Murray scored two goals in the game for the ATP All-Stars and Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis also scored a brace.

World No. 2 Novak Djokovic captained the ATP team which included the likes of the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, Frenchmen Richard Gasquet & Jo Wilfred Tsonga and Kei Nishikori of Japan.

Crazy Look-alike

So the last Crazy Look-alike I brought to you was of Young Money's Drake and Newcastle United and Republic of Ireland striker Leon Best - likelihood of the two being related, very slim.

This time, let me introduce to you a look-alike pairing that could possibly share the same bloodline due to their shared nationalities.

Boy Better Know's Skepta and Nigeria and Hapoel Tel Aviv's number one goalkeeper, Victor Enyeama.

Like Enyeama, Skepta, real name Joseph Junior Adenuga, was born in Nigeria so these two could be - in my Naija voice - "bruddas now".

Victor Enyeama

There is no official word stating that the two men are related in any way but look at the resemblance.

Crazy.

Sir Mikey goes solo


The Cool Kids member Sir Michael Rocks has gone solo but he is still a part of the two-man duo.

The Rocks Report was released on Monday and has been receiving a lot of love and positive feedback from the fans.

The rapper made fans aware of his plans to do a solo project through Twitter and said that the mixtape would drop this March.

The project is so well put together it should really be considered an album - look out for features by Like and Mibbs of Pac Div and fellow Cool Kid Chuck Inglish.

Putting in the work

This is inspirational - a professional athlete at the top of their craft putting in the work after a defeat.

Kobe Bryant's LA Lakers lost to the Miami Heat last Thursday night in a highly anticipated and close-fought matchup that they were expected to win - LeBron James' Heat won the game 88-94.

The Black Mamba scored 24-points in the game but it was not enough to secure a win for his team.

Not happy with his personal performance on the night, Kobe decided to stay behind and practice his shooting for just under an hour-and-a-half

This just shows, no matter how good you think you are, there will always be room for improvement.

Check out the video.

Pac Div 'What it Is'


Pac Div have dropped a new mixtape - Mania.

BeYoung, Like and Mibbs have teamed up with Don Cannon for this one and there are some featured artist you might recognise.

Look out for Sir Michael Rocks - one half of The Cool Kids who jumped on the track, Still a Knucklehead.

This mixtape has come just in time for the summer and Don Cannon's hosting is on point as usual; "Can't forget the lovely Justene Jaro. Good looking on the cover!"
