New To The Crew

So AJ has been working here now for about a month and since working here he has picked up the nickname "Paparazzi" due to the fact that he STAYS with a camera.

Smoke & Cass

An incredible rap duo, Smoke & Cass teamed up 2 years ago and began their climb to the top. This mixtape has a very unique sound and is packed with creative witty punchlines.

Nothing Like The Holidays

If you've seen the movie "Nothing Like The Holidays" then you know Beau Monde made a cameo in the movie. If you haven't, I suggest you go watch it right now. Not only is it a great holiday movie filmed in Chicago, one of the actors in the movie rocks one of the first series Beau Monde New Era's. Look for the parade scene to see what I'm talking about. Big shout out goes to Mr. Johnny Bravado for making this happen.

Starring: John Leguizamo aka Benny Blanco, Luis Guzman and Debra Messing

B-Boys Make Mad Noise

One of our homies, Duncan Tran, is doing big things in his life and following his dream. You may have seen his commercials for Target, his moves on an ad for Footaction or numerous music videos for Jadakiss and such. Well, he stepped up the bar and is now featured in a full length movie titled "B-Boy". Be on the lookout for the movie to drop next year. In the meantime, catch this trailer and pause it with your Flash Gordon reflexes and you can spot the first round Beau Monde New Era at the 1:48 mark falling to the ground. Much love and luck to Duncan as he keeps on expanding his ventures and pursuing his dream. Thanks for the love and support homie, see you soon and good luck man!
