Our Bigga Brotha Protein hooked us up with this exciting new App called Rando, Exactly like BasketBall Players that plays for the Boston Celtics but play that App plays a different Role, here is what Joe says about it :
“Rando is an app that is aiming to inject a little mystery back into proceedings. It delivers a single photo to a complete stranger without any details other than roughly where it was taken geographically and the sender seeing approximately where it ‘lands’. Acting as a way of recreating the nostalgic lack of information associated with film photography, much like Thirty Six, the app that digitally recreates the experience of shooting on a 36 shot roll of film, Rando, put together by design studio ustwo, seems like a refreshing way of dialing down on the information overload.”
As said by earlier by Joe the App created by U.K. mobile games and app developer studio ustwo, in other words each of your photos are randomly sent to another user and you never know who gets it so perfectly said “randos”, Just Downloaded it and Ready to randomly send to another user as you never know who gets it, totally random.

A$AP Rocky rocks the cover of Interview Magazine for their April 2013 Issue. Interviewed by Alexander Wang. and photographed by Craig McDean. The Young Harlem artist tells Alexander wang “Fashion was a natural thing to me” and “It was just one of those things that helped me be an individual … and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things.”
Rocky also spoke on growing up in Harlem then moving down to SoHo and the Lower East Side…
“I came up in a world that was just crazy — and it was hectic and kind of radical at the same time. For me, growing up in Harlem and then migrating down to SoHo and the lower East Side and chillin’ down there and making that my stomping ground … That was a big thing, because I’m from Harlem, and downtown is more artsy and also more open-minded. So I got the best of both worlds. It was like being on the streets and then being in school at the same time, and I tried to keep my hands in everything just so I wasn’t missing out on any fun. I just always wanted to be knowledgeable of my whereabouts, my surroundings, and what was going on with our generation.”
