Who or What are some of the biggest influences on your style?
Some of my influences are the late 80’s and 90’s era not one person per se. It’s nothing new under sun.Sometimes it’s like I have an idea and then I see a visual of someone in it makes it come to life.
From sneakers to casual footwear what are some of your favorites?
Some of my favorites are Jordan 3’s and 4’s, cole haan wing tips, and toms,
About what age did you really start to care about fashion and creating your own style?
To be honest around 5th and 6th grade so I guess you can say like 10 or 11yrs of age. When my Mom allowed me to pick my gear around that time.
What are your Favorite denim brands?
As of right now its strictly Levi Stratus preferably 511 cut. I have yet to find a denim that is classic and gives me that same feel and fit.
Three things you've rocked in the past that you'd never touch today?
Tall tees, over-sized clothing and those colorful snapbacks that old retired people wear in Florida. I can’t think of the name of them but yea…lol
Hip Hop and fashion go hand and hand so who would you say are some of the flyest rappers in the game?
Some of the flyest would have to be Jacob Duran and Joshua Bailey from Klub Monsta in my opinion.. I’m just saying…lol
What are your favorite brands at the moment?
I do a lot shopping at Urban outfitters so some of the brands are not as known like Charles ½, salt valley, koto, your neighbors, standard cloth, Deter. and BDG???. Some brands that I rock that you might be familiar with are dope coture, motivation and obey. I really don’t like when brands become popular so I stray away when that happens. I like classic pieces so if it’s something that is timeless I’m sure to cop.What were your reactions when you saw the "Marty Mc Flys".
Definitely shocked that they were released since back to the future is one of my favs. I thought they were dope but wasn't too interested in having a pair. Very expensive shoe, I missed the days when kicks were not over rated and overpriced. “The Good Ol’ Days”
You've drop two Vlogs recently in anticipation of the Writer's Block project what can listeners expect from that project?.
What you can expect is real music you can relate to from beginning to end. This a very conscious project and I hope everyone enjoys…1
