We were on hand to celebrate the return of our friends at the The Brooklyn Circus SF as they celebrated their return after suffering a devastating flood .

All of us here at The Retrospective are big fans of The Brooklyn Circus and we couldn’t be more excited that lately they’ve been getting more press than Christina Hendricks of Mad Men. From a profile on Justin Timberlake’s blog to a speaking gig at one of our favorite conferences held by PSFK, people have been scoping Brooklyn Circus in a big way, and so it was a shock to learn that the Brooklyn Circus SF shop has been closed due to flooding for nearly two weeks.

Donny Goines’ resolute display of passion, hunger and a love for music could easily be read as a sign that hip hop has seeped through his pores from the time he recognized his ability to listen. His efforts, however, have brought him to a time and place that calls for change; as redundant as the word may sound when hitting politically-inclined ears, in the music industry, change is always necessary, and almost mandatory. With his recently-released EP Rocksmith Tokyo & Donny Goines Presents 20X having garnered a different sort of buzz for a rapper most noted for abundant lyricism, allow him to reintroduce himself as an all-embracing force to be reckoned with.
Black Scale is quickly becoming the unsung hero of street wear culture. Commanding absolute respect on both the ground level and throughout the international fashion market, it’s gone from good idea to San Francisco flagship in only a little over a year. But unconditional admiration and global acclaim is never a simple coincidence: behind every great empire is a leader with vision, and in the case of Black Scale, there’s MEGA.
In a world where balance is everything, MEGA effortlessly walks the edge as if it were the norm, striking the balance of opposites with every stride. This first-hand story takes you beyond the label to hear MEGA’s brilliant perspective, inducting you into the society of secrets known as Black Scale.
