What could be more appropriate from Bobby Digital, aka RZA, than his own app for the iPhone or iPad? RZA has gotten together with Charisma Apps to introduce RZA’s World, something that will give fans a glimpse into the world of the rapper/producer/actor/composer. RZA’s World is broken down into four chambers: Soundtrack to Your Life, in which RZA provides original beats and worldly advice; RZA’s Chess Chamber, which offers 3D gameplay (remember, a game of chess is like a sword fight); The Vault, where one can find archival content including two Bobby Digital films; and finally, What’s News — the latest news on the man himself. Click through for video of RZA discussing the features of his app, then head over to iTunes to purchase.

RZA, the producer, rapper and founding member of seminal hip hop collective the Wu-Tang Clan, entered into a partnership earlier this year with Swedish fashion label WeSC on his own line of headphones, dubbed the Chambers by RZA and available in two models, the Premium and Street. December 1st saw the official launch party for the headsets at L.A.’s Trousdale club. Presented by RZA and hosted by Mike Epps, the event featured a live performance by Talib Kweli, as well as DJ sets from Paul Banks of Interpol, and “WeActivitsts” Lady Tigra, Pase Rock and Eddie House of Steed Lord. Among the famous names in attendance that evening were Marilyn Manson, Russel Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Eli Roth, Victor Rasuk, Fergie and Josh Duhamel. Check out a teaser video and multiple images from the evening after the click.

“There are music fans. And there are true fans. Which one are you?” So blatantly asked VOYR, a video diary kept by Kanye West while navigating the globe with Jay-Z on their Watch The Throne tour. It is just a mere tool for the duo to reconnect with their fans, VOYR in a unfettered portal to the true “going-ons” of a concert tour, an all-access pass to today’s music industry as a whole. There is no celebratory Champagne every night and waking up to a different lingerie model each morning. What you will get is an insider prospective, the good, the bad, and the ugly all roll into one. So the questions once again, are you just a fan or a true fan?

In case the Collage JS Wings was “too loud” for your taste, designer Jeremy Scott also devised a more subtle styling approach. Created in part with Korean sensation, the all-girl band 2NE1, the JS Wings 2.0 has all the personalities of “Jeremy and the Girls”, but flaunt them in an all-white styling instead. But it isn’t just a simple “white washed” design. Beneath the ethereal, angelic white is actually a construct in fine satin, just enough to give off the occasional hints of glitz. Available now in both men’s and women’s sizing at adidas Originals’ online store.

“This is luxury rap,” announced Kanye West on the song “Otis.” His collaborative album with Jay-Z, Watch the Throne, signaled its intent early on, with a lavish gilded cover provided by GIVENCHY designer Riccardo Tisci. This wasn’t a mere hip hop album, this was a global event. That sense of maximalism extends to the Watch the Throne tour, which rolls into Miami’s American Airlines Arena tonight, on loan from the idle Miami Heat. Since Jay-Z is hoarding the spotlight in his buddy LeBron James‘ house, it’s only fair that the rapper return the favor by allowing King James to borrow Watch the Throne‘s regal design for use on a pair of his signature shoes. The Nike LeBron 9 “Watch the Throne” is luxury footwear, done up in black with intricate album artwork showing up at the lining and laces. Decorative accents include a gleaming gold Swoosh and an ornate, spiky lace jewel seemingly ripped right off the album cover. Slip these on, lace them up and you’ll feel more than worthy of a throne.
