I am proud to present my Nike Destroyer jacket built at the Nike Sportswear Stadium MFG shop in NYC. All patches and embroidery tie back to something personal. Homages include my wife, children and my brother who passed away in 2005. The chest features a “BAU” embroidery hit which stands for “Business as Usual”, while the back features the ‘Love Wolf’ graphic that is also a tattoo on my forearm.

A big thanks to Nike / Stadium MTG for the opportunity and a SPECIAL nod to Mike Cherman who helped me put this amazing varsity together.

Business As Usual is the crew and mantra. The Love Wolf is the mascot.

“IX” heart represents my wife. The stars are my children.

I had the pleasure of watching this project develop from a conversation with my brother Rick Williams of Burn Rubber, to a sample, and now a release. Rick did it again — he took the 580 and made magic happen. Lighting does strike twice. The ‘Workforce’ pack will drop in 2 releases – The ‘Blue Collar’ will release Feb 1st with the ‘White Collar’ dropping a month later. Both available on Burn Rubber site.

Congrats Rick & Ro!

It’s an honor for my work to be included in the All Gone book by LaMJC for the 3rd year in a row. This edition features the New Balance 999 ‘Kennedy’ and the Adidas Forum ‘Crest’ which were both released last year.

Shouts to my guy Michael Dupouy / LaMJC for another great release.

I got alot of love from my peers in this video.

Shouts to Complex for the support.

Merry Post Holidays!

The World Famous Blade Runner DJ 7L and I have decided to drop a bonus mix to accompany the hugely successful ‘Essential Dipset Mix’. This is our post holiday gift to everyone that supported our mix projects.

Many more to come.

See ya’ll on the other side of the new year!!

Peace
