Music to get dressed to – Theophilus London
Gabe Alonso The Brooklyn-bred rapper is blowing up these days. He’s been in everything from Esquire to Mountain Dew commercials. His eclectic style has earned him notable street cred amongst fashion’s elite and his music is sure to get you movin’.
Three years ago I wrote on another blog of mine that Theophilus London would be the future. Over the last year, the guy has exploded onto the indie music scene with his unique brand of hip-hop/rap. He’s had multiple mix-tapes and a few EPs to his name, all of which are available on his website. His latest, Lover’s Holiday, is currently available digitally on iTunes. My favorite mix-tape of his is probably the first one, This Charming Mixtape. Some of the mixes on there are insane, straight up bangers.
London has worked with the likes of Mark Ronson and Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend. He even recently collaborated with Sara Quin (of Tegan and Sara fame) and performed with her on The Late Show with David Letterman. Check out the video below of that performance and of his remix to “Starry Eyes” by UK artist Ellie Goulding:
Theophilus has also been a bit of a fashionisto, as he has a very distinct sense of style. He’s not afraid to peacock a little bit and wear pieces that some may not usually wear together. He’s done campaigns with Cole Haan (picture above) and Bushmills, not to mention been featured in a spread with Mark Ronson in Esquire Magazine.
Check out his music and blast that ish before you’re getting ready to go out. I love listening to his stuff just walking around the streets of NYC. They’re a great soundtrack to the city and his beats get me pumped. Enjoy!
