Casey Veggies


Introducing Casey Veggies, a teenage rapper from LA that looks set to make waves.

Although just 17, he's collaborated with some well known rappers from the West Coast area including the likes of Pac Div, Dom Kennedy and Odd Future.

Being an LA native, Casey has links with Odd Future's Tyler, The Creator after the two grew up together and were performing at rap shows from the age of 13.

For one so young, Casey already has a distinctive sound and whenever he appears on a track, you instantly feel his energy and charisma.

He released his first mixtape – Customized Greatly Vol.1 – back in 2007, volume two followed in 2009, but 2010 was his breakthrough year after he released his third project Sleeping In Class.

His latest mixtape will be re-released on September 20th and this time, the deluxe cd will contain five extra tracks.

If you're a fan of cool mellow rap, I highly recommend you listen to this dude - Casey Veggies.

2011-12 Boot Review

The 2011-12 football season is up and running but rather than analyse the transfers that have taken place so far or give you my opinion on where I feel the league title's going, I want to look at the football boots the players are wearing today.

Gone are the days of the 1980's and early 90's, when players graced the pitch equipped with – in what we'd call today –'boring old boots' .

Puma's from the 1980's era

Players are now sporting some outrageously flamboyant pieces of footwear, and boot manufacturers seem to be getting more creative every season.

Check out some of the football boots players will be sporting this season.

ATTENTION: Some of the colours may cause you to squint – you've been warned!
