While on The Life Is So Exciting tour, Fabolous and Pusha T took over the Mezzanine in SF. Both rocking the black-on-black looks, Pusha T makes an entrance in a black leather apron and starts off his set with “Grindin’” and it felt like it was 2002 all over again. As the night went on, some of the notable tracks he performed were “New God Flow”, “Numbers on the Board”, “Mercy” and Blocka” with a handful of other songs. Closing out the show, Fab commanded the audience with a live band in a custom black Brooklyn Nets jersey with printed white roses. Loso and King Push’s indirect chemistry being on tour together makes it seem like they can collaborate more and put out a worthwhile project. Pusha T’s highly anticipated debut album, My Name Is My Name is set to drop on July 16th.

Team Galag TG1 Modified Nissan GT R for the Gumball 3000 Rally

Hailed from oil wealth, Saudi Arabia’s not only entered a “street-legal” Batman Tumbler Tank to this year’s Gumball 3000 rally, but created another one-of-the-kind supercar just for the intercontinental race. Dubbed the TG1, the Team Galag creation is actually a heavily modified Nissan GT-R. A complete “striped-down and rebuilt” project, Team Galag enlisted help from Parker Brothers Concepts once again, the same folks who built the Tumbler. Weight saving carbon fiber in place of the original aluminum alloy body, Galag asked UK’s Litchfield Motors to “re-tune” the engine. Up from GT-R’s original 550 horsepower, the TG1 is capable of generating 750 horsepower instead, with a 0 to 62 mph time of just 2.68 seconds. To see this beast of a machine in action, simply follow rally throughout this week as it stops in Stockholm, Turku, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Riga, Warsaw, Vienna, with the finish line in Monaco.
