Swisha Smellz
My friend Eri gave me this Swishahouse Hip*Hop Smellz air freshener that she got as a freebie at the Tuner Awards last month. The Tuner Awards are the Oscars for people who pimp their rides, and Swishahouse is a record label in Houston, Texas that makes the best driving music since Jan & Dean. You may know Swishahouse from the global hits, “Still Tippin’” by Mike Jones or “Sittin’ Sidewayz” by Paul Wall, but you should listen to everything they have released. If you’re interested in learning more about the local Houston rap scene, go to Matt Sonzala’s blog, HoustonSoReal, because it is Smithsonian in scope. I will have to guess that this freshener smells like promethazine and Sprite because I refuse to open it (decreases the value), or maybe a generic candy smell. Head over to HipHopSmellz to get your own or ask them what this might smell like. But I warn you, “Avoid contact with wack Mc’s Dj’s B-boys and Writers, this product could give them some style.” The best part is I don’t own a car.
