It’s been long awaited. Freekugly Lifestyle Group has opened its virtual doors to the public. Though the store has been up, it has gone through some changes and now it’s available for perusing. Take some time and look through, check out the styles and even sign up for the RSS feed. Follow us on Twitter and look out for sale codes.
Finally it is here. Mr. Sonny James and Freekugly Lifestyle Group have teamed up again for another installation of the Freekugly mixtape…volume number 2. A few years back, shortly after the birth of Freekugly, we got together to do the Freekugly mixtape vol. one: Pure Ugliness, which was an awesome mix that gave you insight into Freekugly as well as an enjoyable blend of music for you to groove to. Volume 2 has just a bit of commentary about what Freekugly has been up to since the last installation of the mixtape in between some of the illest new music that’s out. If you’re looking to hear all mainstream radio cuts on here, you’re shit outta luck homie!

Here we go again with Freekugly’s Freek of the Week. I know it’s been a while, and by track record, the Freek of the Week is something other than that since it’s not a weekly post. This weeks freek is none other than your boy, Lil’ Wayne, Weezy, Weezy Mmf Baby, Mr. Carter, Baby Bird, and so-on. I admit, I like his music, but it was for the mere fact that this just had to be done. Yes the boy’s got talent, and a new skin worth of tattoos which makes him a prime target for freekin’ out.

What’s good people. I’m back again with the Freek of the Week. I know it’s kinda overdue, but it’s here none the less. This weeks freek(s) are The Cool Kids, which I consider the freshest new group out. I first came across this group at the Dunkxchange in New York. While I was out there vending, they were one of the performers for that night. Good thing was, we were fortunate enough to grab a space near the stage, and could hear them loud and clear. I listened to their lyrics and was pleasently suprised when I heard references of nintendo, freestyle bikes with mag wheels, beepers, gold, and all the stuff that was hot as I was growing up. It was a new style, but not. What I mean is, it was familiar to me because I’ve been into hip hop since the early 80’s, but hearing them in contrast to the garbage that is on the radio was a nastalgic feel. I grabbed the cd off of itunes and found it to be dope, I believe you would too.
In the beginning of the year Karmaloop had a contest to design a Cool Kids t-shirt, I entered, but the contest seemed kinda fugasi, that’s another story. Unfortunately I didn’t win, hell, I don’t even know who won for that matter. I posted my entry on the blog thinking that I missed the deadline. It was a dope tee, and I got a lot of great reviews on it. Anyways, I believe The Cool Kids are a decent duo to get down with. If you want to sample some of their music, you can look them up on playlist.com, or imeem, but I say buy the cd, it’s a fairly decent price on itunes, to be honest, I woulda paid more. Keep checkin’ back for more freeks.
Yes yes ya’ll. We have done it. Finally, Freekugly has selected its mascot. After reviewing as many animals that we could think of and look up, we came across one of the ugliest, or shall I say weirdest animals out there. Yup, you got it, a platypus. I don’t know how familiar you are with this species, but I always thought it was interesting and completely trippy. It’s like four animals in one…yeesh! We now introduce you to Percy the Pessimistic Platypus. You will most definitely be seeing more of him in one form or another. Before I leave you, here are a couple of facts about the everloving platypus. Learn something! The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.
The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. It is one of the few venomous mammals; the male Platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the Platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognisable and iconic symbol of Australia
Back by popular demand is the Freek of the Week, Mr. West. I’ve gotten tons of compliments on this Freekugly rendition of your favorite artist. Right now we are in the midst of Yeezy’s sneaker frenzy. You gotta admit how fly the situation really is. This guy has two sneakers that hit the market, from two top company’s, Louis Vuitton and Nike. Plus a clothing line to boot. You may have your opinion on how you feel about his footwear, and maybe even his overall style, but the fact remains…he’s doing his thing. I give him a lot of respect for what he does as an artist, and I respect his influence in fashion. This maybe the most iconic Freek of the Week to date. We appreciate all of your responses to this character. Look for more characters from Freekugly, we’ve got’em!
