Kwasi’s Black Apple Tattoo
Posted by kwasi | Filed under Culture
The Black Apple means so much to me I had to get it permanately inked on my body. Right below my Africa tattoo is the Black Apple. The mother land and the concrete jungle represent who I am and my state of mind, The Black Apple state of Mind.

The Start
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Culture
The place was Footlocker Herald Square, the year 2004. A chance meeting with P. Diddy’s Stylist while working the cash register was my opportunity to break into the fashion industry, and I did just that. I knew I had to make my mark. I left the store on the spot and made a trip to Alife to floss my sneaker knowledge and purchase the Olympic air max 95s for Diddy (he had just run the Olympic torch). No size 13 for Mike B? “I can get them I got you”. After Mikes trip to Miami, size 13 in the Olympic Air max 95s were delivered. “I can’t take your money I want to be your intern”. After a month of heavy calling and texting I was interning at Bad Boy, working at footlocker part-time, Bloomingdales nights and weekends and maintained my full time student status at CCNY talk about ultimate Hustler!

On the set of Mickey Factz most recent video for the song “ALPHA.” Behind the scenes the GFC crew geared Mickey up in clothes from Gold Spun, Public School, and Gucci. Accessories where provided by Nooka, Retrosuperfuture, and Android sneakers. After dressing into his rugged look he hit the scene , bringing an enormous amount of energy to the camera. At the end of the filming the crew applauded at all their hard work. This video is something to anticipate and will prove to be nothing less then epic.
