It should be no surprise that the tight-jean, leather jacket-clad DJs of Justice would fashion a clothing line after their own wardrobe. Justice for All is the name of the collaboration between these two Frenchmen (Gaspard and Xavier) and design collective Surface to Air. Look for the limited edition (150) run of leather jackets and denim this June at Surface to Air’s Brazil and Paris stores, as well as Collette and Barney’s. Get a preview of their gear and watch their Grammy-nominated video for “D.A.N.C.E.” after the jump.

Lil Wayne’s syrup addiction is fueling all sorts of creative endeavours lately. Aside from the ubiquitous vocoder allowing him to get his T-Pain on, and his tendency to wield a guitar any chance he can, techno seems to pique D’Wayne’s interest judging by the bleeping melody on “Lollipop”.

The Jim Jonsin co-produced track is the latest example of rap borrowing from euro dancefloor sounds (see: Wiz Khalifa’s “Say Yeah” and B.O.B.’s “Haterz Everywhere”). Listen to the opening melody on “Lollipop,” and tell us it doesn’t sound strangely similar to the opening from “Trip II The Moon (Kaleidoscopiklimax)” by early ’90s electronica group, Acen. Hear both songs after the jump and tell us what you think.
