DKS, The New World Order

Hi.. it is, one of the co-founders of DKS and recently it has come to my attention that many of you ask what is DiagKnowSys? Who is affiliated with the Brand? and even where can we pick this shit up.

These are questions that will all be answered in due time, first it must be known we're coming for the head. We got that guillotine choke that goes right above your ears. We got that helmet to protect you from that Mongolian chop. Is that enough obscure wrestling and fighting references?

By all means.. these questions and more are valid. IT IS THE DKS mission and prime objective, to keep your head laced as well as your feet (even if you rocking kangaroos we got you). It started out as a company but became a sworn movement to being "fresh".

Living "Beyond Healthy" is more than a slogan it is a way of life. We all trying to move up in this world... but by diagnosing and knowing the system we can all rise. "Beyond Healthy" is a mind state, that no one else can fuck with. If you are Beyond Healthy, you can never be brought down by the elements. You are a concrete warrior , a representative of a change in the times.

No Longer are we slaves to the calls of the fashion industry in terms of rockin' fitteds. Aren't you tired of all the monotony? It is about time we went beyond what people considered the normal cap design, are we really limited to sports teams or the names of companies alone? We should be allowed to rock caps just about style and staying fresh.. and keeping it "Beyond Healthy".

That is what our revolution is bringing to the table, we coming at you like nightmares in your underwear. We revolutionizing the game... and if your with us you will never have to battle your head's fear of the elements again.

AKUMACHENTE!!!! (What did the Rock Say in Scorpion King?!)

The Calm Before the Storm

Hi, there it is your friendly neighborhood fitted cap mogul, John Pabustan. For many of you who have forgotten DiagKnowSys or DKS stays "beyond healthy" and is a premier supporter of keeping your head from freezin'. The tides of time have made us one year older and even more importantly, one year wiser.. Due to a lack of options and knowing that things were just not right we moved on past our previous distributors and are working towards the new world like Columbus. Before you think I am giving Columbus props, realize that DiagKnowSys like the name Had to study and know the system to elevate the game.

I just came in to tell you.. NO WE DIDN'T DIE and in fact we are coming back fitted cap reloaded sometime soon.. and like Drake that time is Sooner than Later.

We got some mad plans in the works but for all you haters and non-believers we got the hats you never knew you needed. The ones your like "oh shit that is fly as fuck", the type that make your little brother wanna envy you and walk around in bros hat but you smack him a little cuz he actin' like he on some alien shit.

I would like to apologize to the world, and especially joy for falling off the side of the planet... but little did anyone know I was secretly planning our goal to victory. We got this game on lock, I swear and I got my priorities in order now and yes we grindin'.

SO HOW ABOUT YOU FOLLOW OUR BLOG and follow the adventures to redemption..

Sincerely

John Pabustan aka Tri Flaw

Staying "Beyond Healthy" like the Tae-Bo guy.. his name Billy Blanks Right?!

BACK AGAIN!!

Buenos Dias people,

But technically no bueno on the lack of blogs lately. Sadly, me and joy have become both very busy, especially joy who now proudly has a job. I continue, to however, live my life as a bum till this LSAT takes place. Yes, being loser status is not fun being broke is forcing me to almost find hope in mundane things like recycling or counting pennies btw GIVE ME PENNIES!!!!! Or dollars, I do not discriminate on the money you give me, if it's a couple pesos whether from Mexico or the Philippines I will convert it but now to the meat of the story.

It has not been a good go of it of late as clearly me and joy are waiting for our distributor to get our samples done. We have our line for the season done, in terms of design but in terms of production our distributor is kinda spazzing on us. We apologize for not hitting the streets yet, but sometimes your hands our tied. I feel like it should be dope once released BUT WHEN WE RELEASE!!!

We got mad stickers, got mad ideas, and even more have a business plan but none of it means anything without samples. We promise to invade your area soon, but be patient young dragon.

For your entertainment you can find both of us on the DKS myspace and add us.. WHOOAAA

Joy is my hero.

April Showers Bring May....Hats.

It's currently drizzling in San Diego, that but that's not stopping DKS from working! As the title says, our hats finally should be out in May. Yes, we anticipated a launch this month, but due to the wait on our samples, May looks like the month!

Thanks to my partner for the shout-out in the previous entry: John is awesome, too!!

Speaking of Mr. Michael Jordan; I was talking to my friend about the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA, and how my Dad took me there when I was 8 years old. You're probably like "Joy, wtf do you know about the game?" - Little me, grew up playing basketball. My Dad played a lot, and would always take me to the courts when he played with his friends. My parents put me in teams when I was in grade school and all the way up to middle school. High school came around and I stopped playing it in a team. Of course, I still play basketball here and there when I get a chance.

I still follow the NBA but not as much as I did when I was much younger - the days of Bird, Jordan, & Johnson - thanks to my Dad. Yes, I was maybe 4 or 5 years old when these guys played, but I do remember them. When Bird retired, he had this basketball clinic in which was then called the Boston Garden. Of course, I went and had a great time.



Why am I writing about this? Well 1. I'm watching the Celts/Sixers game and 2. I miss the days when we were much younger and things didn't matter.

BUT since I'm much older and that's not the case anymore, it's all about finding your path. There's a reason John & I chose to start this company, and part of it is to make YOU, our future consumer, HAPPY about your purchase.

These aren't your typical fitted hats..........

So until the launch, keep reading!

- Miss Joy

Stay Posted Like Mark Jackson at Point Guard

Yeah, before I get anywhere.. Anyone Remember Mark Jackson used to post up like from half court. Pissed me off, lol I hated the Knicks by far one of the douchiest teams ever assembled. You had a huge gorilla play center, a slick talking over confident shooting guard named Jon Starks, Mark Jackson turning point guard to short center and other cats like Charles Smith who would not let the high top fade die.

Sorry, I'm a Jordan Fan so any team that messed with them made me hate them. Don't get me started on the early 90's Detroit Pistons or "Bad Boys", when Dennis Rodman is considered the normal guy you got problems. The best quote I ever heard was, "Bill Laimbeer was the best defensive tackle ever cept he played professional basketball"-Mike from Indiana. Anyways I bring up the poster child for posting up at any height to say that we at DiagKnowSys are nearly done with our designs for the line and that we are just waiting for our samples to come in.. so stay posted up like a lamp..

What the hell did Paul Wall mean? That lamps are posting up all the time.. I mean technically they are but then isn't the table its also on posting up?

Well I think we done designing.. AND I THINK OUR LINE SO FAR IS HELLLLLAA DOOOPPPEEE... it's like a urine sample from Lindsay Lohan. Need I say more,if i do it's that awesome people Add our myspace (www.myspace.com/Diagknowsys). What are you not awesome?!

I think your awesome, and I'm cool making u ever more awesome.. but only if you add the myspace. Adding the myspace also keeps you from getting cancer..

I heart randomness..

Joy is awesome

Stay

SD culture

Before I study..


The peculiar case of San Diego Hip Hop and Culture... so immediately what are you thinking bout JabbaWockees, bout Jayo Felony.. and for some even Mitchy Slick? It's not like that, with a community with such a proud history of being a rival city to San Fran and LA the SD hip hop scene seems to go in a unique 4 year spectrum.

The problem is, first and foremost.. alot of cats really from here Don't rep the city... It's a sad reminder that you aren't thought of as hard unless you from LA or from Compton or some slum in the So Cal Area. It is also a city with no real connection to its own people....

If you didn't know San Diego is a commuter city filled with phat cats who moved here for the beauty, college kids, and more importantly cats retired from the NAVY. There really isn't this common struggle for a lot of SD peoples unless they reside in another city such as Escondido or El Cajon. Then at that point it becomes more viable to rep the city they actually from... hmm the 4 year theory was something Norm Rockwell at Access Hip Hop told me in passing.

There are these huge gaps in SD hip hop history.. simply because at some point the culture died. We have some of the oldest heads in guys like Blame One, Mane One, all the Southeast heads and the like.. yet then theres this period of emptiness before we get to people like Son of Ran or Castle Creeps.

It sucks man, being from the newer new school you find that in SD what also sucks is the lack of feeling of community among rappers. People don't put other people on in SD thinking that the struggle should be hard... when truly it shouldn't be we should all be happy if one of us makes it.

There is also this huge gap in style as a lot of the Southeast heads or heads in general wanna be gangster rappers. The problem is since no1 thinks we're hood they have to be especially ghetto to survive. I mean the shooting at Urban Underground San Diego was simply because the normal heads were no longer coming out. IT WAS THE SD UNITY FEST FOR GOD SAKES?! Then, we lose another venue.. most of the cats now are hella progressive and you got some of the most original styles ever.

The fact that everyone is different allows for people to be totally different in SD but also hard to call anything the "SD" Style...

One of the biggest disses in SD History.. is first that Murs said something after years with working with ACCESS hip hop which helped launch his career that "SD is not a place for hip hop".. it was also echoed in the only time that Scribble Jam held tryouts in San Diego.. if you know for a fact.. yes i was one of the participants.

The problem we seek to rectify in SD is to create the type of unity we sometimes see at these underground SD hip hop events. Everyone got their own swagger but no one should feel like they don't have the city behind their back.

DiagKnowSys is working to sponsor different hip hop events from all of the elements of rhyming, djing, breaking and graff to show that hip hop is unified.

Everyone and their mama after seeing JabbaWockees make it wants to be a dancer now, which helped kill off many other elements in SD for hip hop. The sad reality experienced by them should help to let cats know... don't let the man control you.. control your own destiny.

I have mad pride for them but at the same time.. Do you have pride for SD? Do you have pride for the city?

U go out to frisco and you'll see mad heads wearing SF hats... but rarely do I even see anyone with an SD hat unless they reppin our culture at a hip hop event.

I get it.. SD is a collection of individuals.. but since when is it cool to live somewhere and act like u live somewhere else????

Yeah your originally from LA or Nor Cal or Boston.. but where do u live now? Where do you pay taxes?

IT's long gone.. and we at DiagKnowSys want you to help SD culture stay alive.. by reppin local SD BRANDS AND STORES..

shouts to Armory, 5 and a Dime, Willy's Workshop, and all the SD brands like model sitizen, armory clothes and the like.. trying to keep u aware that we got flavor...

Please if anything look to find some SD events and rep..

cuz if hip hop leaves the city..

Then hip hop is no longer a part of your life..
