SEEN Christmas gift tipp number 7 is the sweatshirt version of Massiv’s “Babylon is Falling” design which you might have seen Major Lazer’s Jillionaire wandering around in during summertime. Or you can gift wood furniture that will make your office stand out!
Available directly from the LA-based brand’s online shop, you will probably have to live in the States though to receive this one in time.
PSsst: Use code “morelove” to get 25% off on all orders until Januar 1, 2014 and make sure to grab Massiv’s “No Bad Mind” design from Base Kingston should you be in town this week to attend the Major Lazer X Skrillex show at Mass Camp.

The murder trial of Vybz Kartel enters its fourth week today.
That reminded us to recommend his book as SEEN Christmas gift number 6. “The Voice Of The Jamaican Ghetto” came out in 2012 and is a must read for any Kartel fan out there.
Available e.g. from Mixpak.

It is day number three of this year’s SEEN Christmas gift guide series, and it is time to recommend some fine fine music as our favourite online boutique of the year – Rewind Forward – added Steely & Clevie’s “At The Top” LP to their stock:
8 tracks. Hands-on musicianship of the pair. Dean Fraser on Sax, David Madden on Trumpet, and engineers such as Bobby Digital and Ossie Thomas at the buttons. Recorded at Tuff Gong Studio, King Jammy Studio & Creative Sounds in Kingston as well as The A Class Studio, London. Artwork by Orville ‘Bagga’ Case.
Go get it know (and if it is as a present to yourself)!

As second gift tip for people who love Jamaica, we picked a T-shirt from London-based streetwear brand GRIND.
While there are not too many “Jah Bless” tees we would actually wear, we really like the simplicity of this one. Nice typography, printed white on black. Period.
If you like it a little less irie still, we heavily recommend checking GRIND’s fine selection of shirts.
