New Tech: SoundCloud To Pay Artists And Labels Through Advertisements


soundcloud-advertisements-to-pay-artists-labels-11-657x360

Over the years, SoundCloud has become a platform both for artists to share high-quality audio to a wide audience of listeners and for users to stream and rip various amounts of music without any form of payment. Critics against SoundCloud have denounced the company for becoming the new-age download hub while crowds have praised it for the same exact reason. It seems that a compromise has been reached as SoundCloud is now planning to introduce advertisements on its site as a way to compensate artists and labels. A portion of the revenue raised from the playback of these ads will go directly to support the respective artists. Only time will tell if this will be a worthwhile venture for the fast-expanding SoundCloud. Head over to SoundCloud’s official page here for more details. SOURCE: Hypebeast

New Kicks: Air Jordan 1 KO “Sport Blue”


air-jordan-1-ko-sport-royal-1-700x357

It appears that time has passed. Less of a take-down and more of a revamp, the Air Jordan 1 KO “Sport Blue” relies on similar shades and color blocking, only slightly shifting the shape and composition. Canvas construction adheres to a rounder silo, amplified by the sum of minor modifications to the midsole and paneling. Artsier than the original but still reliant on the same iconic detailing, survey the images of the Air Jordan 1 KO “Sport Blue” in the photos and video below to decide if you’ll pick up a pair.

Sneaker: Air Jordan 1 KO “Sport Blue”
