...past two years. So it's fitting that when rappers decided to peddle their wares online, they turned to a techie suburban couple: Foy, 33, and his wife Jennifer Silano Foy, 31, president of eFashion Solutions. The company, started four years ago, operates websites for, among others, Rocawear, Eminem's Shady line, J. Lo by Jennifer Lopez and Baby Phat, the women's line from Kimora Lee Simmons, wife of hip-hop godfather Russell Simmons. "I don't know specifically what eFashion does," says Dash.

To some that might seem like adolescent blather, but like Eminem in the U.S., Skinner draws the listener into the dark, angry, occasionally almost sweet thoughts of a British lad. And thanks to the way he tells it, that's a place people all around the world want...
...scene reminiscent of the 2002 movie 8 Mile with the rapper Eminem, the final round of the competition featured Theodore “Teddy” B. Bressman ’06 against Mikal N. Floyd-Pruitt ’06. Bressman, who had won favor with the crowd for his witty yet off-beat verses, eventually fell to the smoother, more lyrically-sophisticated Floyd-Pruitt. The winner took home a $150 gift certificate to the new Adidas store on Mass...
