Jewelry has been a major part of hip-hop since its earliest stages. Aside from the importance of being able to showcase your musical abilities on the microphone, looking fresh and in style has always been part of the culture.

From Eric B. and Rakim rocking their gold on the cover of “Paid in Full” to the “bling bling” and platinum and diamond “ice” eras of the late 1990s all the way up to today’s extremely customized and intricate pieces, having the right jewels is a must.

That fact is not lost on TraxNYC jewelry, which recognizes that Hip-Hop Jewelry is a staple of the industry from artists to managers and fans alike and have built their business to satisfy all their clients’ needs.

Located in the heart of New York’s famed diamond district, TraxNYC has been a world leader in providing some of the best black diamonds, diamond watches and jewelry for nearly the last decade.

Founded in 2003 they do both retail and wholesale work, manufacturing jewelry and then selling it wholesale to stores as well as offering more than 14,000 custom-made pieces on their TraxNYC.com website. They specialize in giving their customers whatever they’re looking for and offer great customization options to fit all your desires.

Additionally, when some of their custom pieces become popular and sought after they introduce them into their retail lines and give everyone a chance to rock their favorite jewelry, no record label or microphone required.

Their flexibility and personal interaction with customers has built them a strong reputation as a leader in unique designs that showcase the creativity and style of their clientele.

Clients are given several options in regards to their jewelry, with TraxNYC providing a service that allows you to bring in or e-mail pictures and designs that they can then transform into the jewelry you’ve always wanted.

By paying a deposit, your drawing is first made into a 3D model and if approved, it’s then cast into wax and ultimately the finish of your choice. The process gives buyers several models to assure they are happy with the finished work.

That commitment to details and customer satisfaction is just one of many reasons why they are so successful. Their website is a haven for jewelry lovers, with a nearly endless supply of options available at just a mouse click away. They are also currently working on a new system for their website that will allow customers to customize jewelry right through the site, and then submit their order.

Representing your album, record label, crew or nickname through customized hip-hop jewelry has become an even bigger deal in the last several years, making TraxNYC a great option for aspiring artists and athletes looking to separate themselves from the crowd with their creative designs.

With fan support and artist interaction also reaching new peaks via the Internet and social media, TraxNYC can also let the most dedicated fans get a step closer to looking just like their favorite celebrity.

As jewelry continues to rise as an icon of status and personal originality and gain popularity, TraxNYC is the perfect destination for you to see your ideas come to life.

Athletes are usually in the position of having their ice taken, or mistakenly giving it away and asking for it back rather than taking people’s pieces. David Ortiz is trying to change things up little.

I need somebody to translate this video for me. I remember hearing a track or something with Big Papi and Mclaen but I don’t know what happened to it and it was in Spanish so I don’t know what it was saying. Don’t let me find out David Ortiz is the Lastings Milledge of Reggaeton.
