Speaker 1: into and all that. Well, we started back in two
Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen, and uh we're really just the southern
Speaker 1: street wear brands. So a lot of things and a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff we do is gonna be for our culture,
Speaker 1: for the Southern culture, and uh that's it what we represent.
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty much I'm on the face line of
Speaker 1: two London's. I'm Ben. You'll see me all over Social deal.
Speaker 1: But like he said, we started back in two thousand
Speaker 1: and seventeen, really just coming in to be a staple
Speaker 1: in Southern street where it was something that me and
Speaker 1: um Bro when we came up with the idea, we
Speaker 1: were really just trying to staple something different in the
Speaker 1: southern atmosphere of the world. What we had kind of
Speaker 1: seen in California and just other parts of the world
Speaker 1: where we were studying fashion. We just wanted to mimic
Speaker 1: it truly for the Southern culture. And this ain't no
Speaker 1: average like ship and got on the glass. And don't
Speaker 1: like I got glass into everything underwear. I got some
Speaker 1: glass in my back. Ain't no fresh on at all.
Speaker 1: So what did you guys, what did you guys um
Speaker 1: do or what was implemented into you guys structure to
Speaker 1: make you different in such you apart from any other
Speaker 1: just regular street brand that was on to come up
Speaker 1: in the South. We didn't we didn't want to getting stories.
Speaker 1: We started off like Master Pete was hitting the streets.
Speaker 1: We were from from our hometown up until Mobile, Alabama, Right,
Speaker 1: So we started from Mobile pretty much every Thursday when
Speaker 1: we started to bring back in two thousands and seventeen,
Speaker 1: on Thursday, we were hit the road. We're being mobile,
Speaker 1: get back here maybe Saturday evening. I still come see
Speaker 1: all of my customers here. So we were just pretty
Speaker 1: much beating the streets, keeping out consistency and just working
Speaker 1: as a building a true business. Along the lines of
Speaker 1: all that working. I mean we've seen them via cause
Speaker 1: via Via did with the first person I ever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so when I seen we were just seen him come
Speaker 1: around out of time, like when you come to they'd
Speaker 1: be like that ship Fred that don't look like no
Speaker 1: merch and getting out you know what I'm saying. Put
Speaker 1: us on went up. Congratulations. I've seen he was putting
Speaker 1: up in the trunk at the trunk into the house
Speaker 1: from the house. It should be for ship. I don't know.
Speaker 1: The high quality why it do whatever you need to
Speaker 1: do with it, cut it up. I don't give a
Speaker 1: damn what you want to do. High quality fashion we
Speaker 1: stand on that will be around when you're going nowhere.
Speaker 1: So with it. So with you guys, going from the
Speaker 1: trunk and going from the grassroots and going like hand
Speaker 1: to hand and foot to foot and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. How many times did you have moments where
Speaker 1: you felt like, man, I don't know if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be able to keep doing that ship. Oh shit, I
Speaker 1: ain't never had the moment from nothing nothing, My whole team.
Speaker 1: All of this. We come from the same place. We
Speaker 1: all stayed on the same street. Are we familiar with blood?
Speaker 1: But we come from nothing. It ain't no looking back
Speaker 1: like she is, And I ain't working like I worked
Speaker 1: the job making four hundred and eight dollars a week.
Speaker 1: Once I started making two hundred for myself a week,
Speaker 1: it was over. Never work for myself. Y'll tell me
Speaker 1: what to do. Two hundred me every day of the
Speaker 1: rest of my life. Good, it just got good. We work.
Speaker 1: Y'all need to like y'all send the records. You got it, man,
Speaker 1: That's how you gotta do it. I mean, when you
Speaker 1: come for the coach, right, we're putting on for the coach.
Speaker 1: When you come from a certain environment, you don't get
Speaker 1: to see examples sit by different types of people. So
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we said closed and
Speaker 1: we looked like this, every and everybody got the change.
Speaker 1: You're looking around everybody. But it ain't always been like this,
Speaker 1: Like I tell I tell people all the time. Just
Speaker 1: two years ago, me and bro't have no card. We
Speaker 1: didn't ground it for a long time. We're just taking
Speaker 1: the sacrifices of the brand and just building ourselves, like
Speaker 1: how we were telling y'all how we went on the
Speaker 1: road every Thursday, the sprinting. Where's our car? We have
Speaker 1: a car? Associated if I'm on the road in the sprinting,
Speaker 1: he at home sitting down just chilling, like you gotta
Speaker 1: come to work or not, Like we don't have cars.
Speaker 1: So we sacrificed a lot for a long time, I
Speaker 1: mean until we pretty much got our whole team together
Speaker 1: and we were able to work, like on the level
Speaker 1: of work we doing now, that's when we started to
Speaker 1: just kind of enjoy some of the fruits are label
Speaker 1: but we were just chilling, kicking back. It's a start
Speaker 1: out there. I think over eighty eighty five percent of
Speaker 1: businesses failed. Like most people start businesses and they don't
Speaker 1: do ships. So what's some of the ship that y'all
Speaker 1: made sure y'all did to make sure y'all wanted that
Speaker 1: keeping the correct structure of a business. I mean, I
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people get length in when
Speaker 1: they think something is work. It's something can be working
Speaker 1: for you, but you can be doing the wrong. So
Speaker 1: you have to just sit back and kind of structure
Speaker 1: yourself like, hey, how would uh, how would do that?
Speaker 1: The es we always like how would n I could
Speaker 1: treat their employees, Like what is Knight gonna do to
Speaker 1: have the next season out of me? Even if it's
Speaker 1: Louis Vutuon, Like damn Loui Vuton coming out with fashion
Speaker 1: the whole year ahead of time, So we might need
Speaker 1: to be at least six months to be halfway with
Speaker 1: a Louis vituon is or anything like that. I mean
Speaker 1: a lot of people just see ship and they don't
Speaker 1: actually study or know what they need to do to
Speaker 1: make that correct structure. So that's what we did. Made
Speaker 1: made sure as a team we had the correct structure
Speaker 1: to make sure our business group and was fruitful. So
Speaker 1: you would agree, like if you're jumping in the clothing game,
Speaker 1: you are competing with Louis Vuton and you compete. You
Speaker 1: compete with the top players. And that's what I tell
Speaker 1: when I get in boxes from smaller brands. I tell
Speaker 1: them all the time, like I mean, I give you advice,
Speaker 1: but you have to understand you still have to look
Speaker 1: at me as competition. You have to look at me
Speaker 1: like I mean it's a ship like Kobe and George.
Speaker 1: You got to understand that. I mean, I I see
Speaker 1: what you're doing, but you have to want to be
Speaker 1: better than me. If you don't want to be better
Speaker 1: than me, then you just basically laying down and you're
Speaker 1: gonna be there. You're gonna be in the place that
Speaker 1: you may not be there, may not be that, you're
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be that most likely, so you didn't
Speaker 1: lay down to it. So the advice we always give them,
Speaker 1: this is a business. So we're laying a structure down
Speaker 1: pretty much every day and just building off of that
Speaker 1: pretty much always based on business though now like we
Speaker 1: love what we do also, but I mean when we
Speaker 1: put the business with it just made us pretty much
Speaker 1: where we are today. Do you think you're um, it
Speaker 1: will exceed your expectation of what y'all wanted several times?
Speaker 1: Several times. That's how we had to I mean, that's
Speaker 1: what keeps us humble because I mean sometimes you wake
Speaker 1: up like I mean, we've accomplished a lot, like with investments,
Speaker 1: real estate. I mean, we're serial entrepreneurs, so we don't
Speaker 1: really stop with fashion. So it's like we've accompanied right
Speaker 1: now and we're from we're back from Mobile, Alabama, so
Speaker 1: downtown we bought the UM y'all know that's the home
Speaker 1: of Mother Girl if you didn't sure, Yeah, that's where
Speaker 1: it starts, and then it goes to New Orleans and exactly.
Speaker 1: So we bought a building downtown mobile it'll actually be
Speaker 1: two penthouse suits and we'll start a restaurant downtown. We're
Speaker 1: going to kind of keep under wraps what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do in the rest Yeah, you gotta let us know
Speaker 1: because i'd like to eat. You know, we can have us.
Speaker 1: We have y'all special advice, no worries. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean my own menu item whatever. Yeah, So we got
Speaker 1: that going on and being around the corner from that,
Speaker 1: which is downtown. Also, we're gonna actually start the renovations
Speaker 1: on the tooling this mention. It'll be just something like
Speaker 1: the Airbnb structure, just giving them just like a custom
Speaker 1: house exactly, because from from top to bottom really too,
Speaker 1: from vending machines, the pool tables. It's not too long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's but no, no, whatever you say. One of the
Speaker 1: games the name is the Catcher. It's like, we don't
Speaker 1: care what you say. We know what it is. It's
Speaker 1: too long, they say, too long? What what are we get?
Speaker 1: We get everything? Too long? It's a it's a couple
Speaker 1: of pronunciations. What do you mean? Okay, So it's two
Speaker 1: lone this, which is if you break it down, we
Speaker 1: break it down to two lines is, which is two
Speaker 1: lines and it is and that's a dollar for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So if you see our brain, we got a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff. My name is Benji and really don't stay
Speaker 1: and from then and it's just Benjamin Franklin. That's dollars. Dollars.
Speaker 1: Were all about the dollars. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it just go on and on. Something that just
Speaker 1: made our brand full circle and something we could relate
Speaker 1: to for a long time. What was the first thing
Speaker 1: that made you feel like, man, you gotta give me
Speaker 1: some money, like growing up as a young man about
Speaker 1: I mean, we had got some money and lost it.
Speaker 1: That's what made us get someone. What you mean I
Speaker 1: mean she big? I mean not incat No, it ain't
Speaker 1: no him my uncle them had the paper you feel me.
Speaker 1: When we used to go with uncle. There's something he

Speaker 1: already little. We had already start getting money again together

Speaker 1: because he counted the ship in front of up County

Speaker 1: About a week Abo else told on the ship they
Speaker 1: got off phone with the calling everybody else. They read us.
Speaker 1: We were hauling down and we held it down the
Speaker 1: long as we could show. Yeah, like man, I got
Speaker 1: a but just to be houndest man, we had to
Speaker 1: go back to being kids, you know, and nig went

Speaker 1: you know, it's all changing, and went all n get
Speaker 1: three hundred dollar for Cristmal like damn like ship, I
Speaker 1: gotta go gamble of some you know, like make some
Speaker 1: shake to even make this worthwhile it was and there
Speaker 1: was a humbling experience. I ain't gonna it took about
Speaker 1: the shop and we didn't really never cared. We got
Speaker 1: a younger brother, We got some younger brothers, but our
Speaker 1: younger brother who stayed in the house with this ship,
Speaker 1: we just went to sacrificing for him, like she there's
Speaker 1: ain't no money no more. Like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: my mom, give us a couple of hundred for Christmas. Ship.
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep him clean, you know what. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: gonna get his clothes here, jorings and everything, because we
Speaker 1: were just we always been in the fashion, but we
Speaker 1: wasn't really the type of person who needed the Jordans
Speaker 1: and anything like that, Like she we're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a shake for sure, Like I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the seal tag before they goddamn the higher price
Speaker 1: stuff in the way I would just talk that way.
Speaker 1: So we kind of sacrificed a lot for a little
Speaker 1: but it was huggling experience a long time. What's the
Speaker 1: what's the main point? Like the main point that y'all
Speaker 1: stand on, like to remain focused within each other, Like
Speaker 1: because y'all brothers, right, So what's the main point that
Speaker 1: that you tell him and he tell you to just
Speaker 1: keep y'all on point and running home? Ship were on point.
Speaker 1: I'm on point. I ain't gonna lie to you'll really
Speaker 1: never beside that ship. I didn't did a little no, no, no,
Speaker 1: beside that ship. I didn't. I ain't really been a
Speaker 1: bad example for my brothers, if you want to stand
Speaker 1: so we didn't. I always made good grazing said, like,
Speaker 1: what's the main like principle y'all stand on. But we
Speaker 1: had a little bit. We've been in all situations, so
Speaker 1: it don't matter what it applied to, like you gotta
Speaker 1: be a man and a gentleman. All of it applies
Speaker 1: to every standard in life. So it's just like if
Speaker 1: you if you told me to beat up at nine
Speaker 1: and you up at team, you're nigga for disrespecting your brother.
Speaker 1: Like hen't your daddy? You know what I mean? Like father,
Speaker 1: Like we're trying to be your dad. We ain't trying
Speaker 1: to be that. We're gonna help to each other as
Speaker 1: me and we all standing on that business. So it's
Speaker 1: like every day like the standard is set high. It's
Speaker 1: between everybody who are the standard said, you know, I
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, I'm gonna see you a
Speaker 1: text because we're up getting it. Let's get it. It
Speaker 1: may not be too much of nothing, but I'm like bank,
Speaker 1: she we got to get it. De folks need to
Speaker 1: hear something from you today because they don't hear me,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have me like she is. You better let
Speaker 1: them know. So the standard set from the energy to
Speaker 1: the business to the work ethic and everything. So it's
Speaker 1: like if you're up there earlier, you can work out
Speaker 1: you and make sure that man say less because you
Speaker 1: can't do one without the other. We try to we
Speaker 1: try to make sure like within us that we're don't
Speaker 1: contradict ourselves, Like I mean, if you can wake up
Speaker 1: and work out, you gotta wake up and do your work,
Speaker 1: if you even even if you're gonna wake up and
Speaker 1: make yourself breakfast like you were grown that man under
Speaker 1: your bid like because we because we're brothers and we're friends.
Speaker 1: It's not a lex environment. I'm on your ass, fuck
Speaker 1: like I'm on your ass and I think not another
Speaker 1: thing that's amongst a lot of other men. Ship were
Speaker 1: real men, So I ain't biting my tongue for him
Speaker 1: or nobody like we ain't like we're gonna address the issue.
Speaker 1: It ain't never a point with the business or two
Speaker 1: London is where it's like, oh ship, but we gotta
Speaker 1: sit on and talk about what he did, like if
Speaker 1: you did it, it's gonna be on right then we
Speaker 1: gotta address this issue because we ain't trying to create
Speaker 1: a problem. We're not trying to create the environment. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be out what it is like if they they
Speaker 1: sent everything has to be him to the same way.
Speaker 1: I treat him a certain way. He had to treat
Speaker 1: them the same way. That's you, my brother. You we
Speaker 1: say that are not to treat him no different either.
Speaker 1: Nobody get my attitude because my attitude is gonna have
Speaker 1: to get checks of. If you're acting like a bach
Speaker 1: your attitude back like you gotta get checked too. We
Speaker 1: don't matter how mad and make you, It don't matter.
Speaker 1: You got the baddest temple you like to fight on
Speaker 1: this ship. We're gonna fight. Then you might get jumped
Speaker 1: because you're tripping like we might liken't squash it right
Speaker 1: then you get too mad like you you whatig like
Speaker 1: you know that you're feeling. But apology and solve all
Speaker 1: before we even get to that point. What you mean?
Speaker 1: I apologize? Bro? What can I do to fix it? Like?
Speaker 1: That's what we are like? Can I okay? I ain't
Speaker 1: gotta say nothing of that it won't happen again. But
Speaker 1: we are mean like when you owe me no explanation
Speaker 1: for what you girl? Yeah, you ain't my mother, girl
Speaker 1: like you ain't gotta you ain't got a lot of meat.
Speaker 1: Tell me what you're gonna do, nix. I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear no ship that you're gonna change and a
Speaker 1: change right now, nigga, fuck it. Fuck you keep being
Speaker 1: an I'm making a nigg about that because you're fucking
Speaker 1: about what you're doing wrong, Like what the fund you
Speaker 1: doing something that your personal partners telling you you're doing
Speaker 1: wrong and you're gonna do it. If you think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep talking to you about the nigga, ain't your
Speaker 1: mom or your girlfriend? Nigga, fuck you, you say for sure?
Speaker 1: So so so basically because I'm about to ask you,
Speaker 1: like how how y'all deal with entitlement and nigga just
Speaker 1: just don't get it, like you know, because they everybody
Speaker 1: ain't gonna get it. Keep ourselves far away from being entitled. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to not act entitled about it. I appreciate everything,
Speaker 1: So I'm a in the morning because I appreciate this.
Speaker 1: I'm working hard. At the end of the day, we
Speaker 1: still get paid a salary, so the money our business
Speaker 1: has not all I mean, my business a million. Now
Speaker 1: I ain't necessarily with me. Now that's that's not how
Speaker 1: you I mean, that's not how the approach. I still
Speaker 1: get a paycheck every Friday. So at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I'm not taking that for granted. I'm in
Speaker 1: not doing that ship. And then at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, if I don't work at that capacity, I
Speaker 1: gotta payed my partners, they got kids and there I
Speaker 1: gotta make sure on Friday, like they direct the positive
Speaker 1: hit on Friday, like this is not a joke. So
Speaker 1: I mean, if if I'm I don't feel it tighted
Speaker 1: about it, can't nobody else feeling tired about it around me?
Speaker 1: I mean, of course you're still gonna deal with a
Speaker 1: living title, but you just have to chicken. I mean,
Speaker 1: or like they just got that. It's a like minded environment,
Speaker 1: so you're like sometimes you can't get it straight away,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So what you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: my brothers, like when you're ship, I don't know why
Speaker 1: that was. Then we stopped working to day, we stopped
Speaker 1: eating about the people that come up around y'all that
Speaker 1: ain't around the more. We got two men not around,
Speaker 1: like who not connected in some type of way, who
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily weak because I mean, everybody is steal
Speaker 1: a family. Sometimes the situations make you where they can't
Speaker 1: necessarily be here standing here. But I mean everybody who
Speaker 1: family were still a family, you know, almost infinitely try
Speaker 1: to create this. Like I said, we serial entrepreneurs, so
Speaker 1: we're still working to create the opportunity so that they
Speaker 1: have some too. We got the restaurant opening, we got
Speaker 1: the mansion opening. That's more jobs for them to go
Speaker 1: make this money. We're gonna keep it full circle. We are.
Speaker 1: This is all familists. So we ain't even really got
Speaker 1: to the point where we've hired outside people. We're still
Speaker 1: in the family phase. We had to go past it because,
Speaker 1: like I said, we kind of keep the egos, entitlement
Speaker 1: and all that out of it so that we don't
Speaker 1: have to work with people who don't trust and just
Speaker 1: not want to be around and just like minded and
Speaker 1: just full circle. So we kind of try to keep
Speaker 1: it that way. Said we're not getting big how many
Speaker 1: strangers income y'all say, you'll got right now? Well, we
Speaker 1: actually it's not the clothes are really it's kind of
Speaker 1: our money that we're making on the our sleep. We
Speaker 1: actually have invested and we're still invested into real estate.
Speaker 1: We we went into multime million dollar project. We didn't
Speaker 1: just uh approach like what we had homes, so we
Speaker 1: went into the commercial side and pretty took some some
Speaker 1: healthy investments. So it's actually we bought it last year
Speaker 1: in March. It's it's actually taking us a full that's
Speaker 1: a mobile as we now, we're just getting We're actually
Speaker 1: gonna only finish with renovations and November or the first
Speaker 1: of December, and we won't start seeing and return until
Speaker 1: the first of next year. We may not open until
Speaker 1: Mada Girl. We probably just do a couple of soft
Speaker 1: openings and the grand open just to kind of get
Speaker 1: the name out there. But we really still investment. So
Speaker 1: like I said, we're just chilling. We are closing is
Speaker 1: what we love to do. All the other stuff that's
Speaker 1: just stuff that we're learning to do to make sure
Speaker 1: that we here him so that we don't have to
Speaker 1: sit up if we don't want to make clothes or
Speaker 1: we see a close. We're still seeing there to Some
Speaker 1: people believe in like go hustle and everything. They might
Speaker 1: have ten eleven, twelve, thirteen different hustle. They hustle and hustling, hustling,
Speaker 1: and that works for some people, but they all feel
Speaker 1: like you should be the type of people that should
Speaker 1: focus and perfect certain ship before you moved in your hustle. Well,
Speaker 1: right now, we're focus on clothes because I'm asking were
Speaker 1: close we gross close to like twenty millions, you get
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's hard with a twenty million
Speaker 1: engine that you you got running to not you got
Speaker 1: to be kind of crazy. So it's like for other people,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're grabbing five, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: no offense, but it's like, we got the engine that's
Speaker 1: running for it. So we're just really investing the money
Speaker 1: to make it where we're gonna have several engines. But
Speaker 1: it's free right now because I mean, we're doing we
Speaker 1: love to do. He's saying, like, um, before y'all, before
Speaker 1: y'all master at that. You know what I'm saying, It's like,
Speaker 1: now it's time to do it. I ain't got no truck,
Speaker 1: but but y'all had ton division on the clothes. Ton
Speaker 1: of vision we had. We had to switch focus from
Speaker 1: a surface being too big. I feel like if we
Speaker 1: would have focused on closing specifically a long time ago,
Speaker 1: we would have been where we needed. Where we were,
Speaker 1: you mean where we are now. But U with us
Speaker 1: not being streamlined and focused on specifically closing, it kind
Speaker 1: of detoured us in the show relaxed money to actually
Speaker 1: focus I mean not when I say relaxes, like Okay,
Speaker 1: I got this Now I can fully focus on something
Speaker 1: new I don't want to jump into. Like even with
Speaker 1: the restaurant, we've been doing restaurant research since we started
Speaker 1: making enough money to say so that was one of
Speaker 1: the first things we were we were investing. We had
Speaker 1: menus and all restaurants signs probably three years ago and
Speaker 1: we just opened the restaurant. We don't know how we
Speaker 1: was gonna do it. That was just what we're invested
Speaker 1: into it, like mentaland like, oh, let's look at the
Speaker 1: logo repetitively and just think think thing thing like this,
Speaker 1: have the men you have? We got like six different
Speaker 1: versions of the menus, three different renderings, and how to
Speaker 1: restaurants a little six different restaurants scenarios to put in there.
Speaker 1: So it's just a whole bunch of different stuff that
Speaker 1: that goes into what you're doing. When even with real estate,
Speaker 1: I mean ship, we made bought a million dollar property
Speaker 1: as an older property, and we didn't take a lot
Speaker 1: of things into account like turnmite damage ship we uh windows, windows, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, yeah, the windows cost the lamb truth,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, just the window for forty windows,
Speaker 1: it was like three hundred and some thousand dollars. I mean,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't expecting that, you know what I'm saying, turnmite
Speaker 1: damage probably extra hundred and twenty thousand dollars, you know,
Speaker 1: just and that's just investing. We were trying to make
Speaker 1: a thinking that damn, we got a million dollar building.
Speaker 1: All we gotta do it go in and change this
Speaker 1: and this and this, and now we guys gonna be rolling.
Speaker 1: But it was totally different after it being it so
Speaker 1: crazy that we say that before we bought the million
Speaker 1: dollar building, we actually turned down the building that was
Speaker 1: about five hundred thousand with the full plans to the
Speaker 1: building read to um ready to go into the structure,
Speaker 1: and it was only gonna cost us a million dollars, right,
Speaker 1: and uh, we spent a million on the building. Ship
Speaker 1: like the architects, we didn't know that ship costs that
Speaker 1: cost up. It's a hund of gs just for the scope.
Speaker 1: So I mean it's like damn, you know, but we
Speaker 1: we didn't care. That's what we invested in and that's
Speaker 1: what we want to see. Like I don't have to
Speaker 1: buy the more chains or just like just to do
Speaker 1: something different to actually like ship. I'm excited. I'm excited
Speaker 1: for what's to come with it. But I can definitely
Speaker 1: say that that was to this true turning point and
Speaker 1: something that influential that we did during the pandemic. So
Speaker 1: our brand actually accomplished a lot of this during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: We were under the brands that didn't see a decrease.
Speaker 1: We actually see seeing over a three increase and sales. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it was it was pretty much a crazy time
Speaker 1: for us. And it was just like the world was
Speaker 1: shut down, Like what else can you spend your money on?
Speaker 1: Like I went to the mall enough, I didn't swipe
Speaker 1: my debit card. They locked it up online, you know,
Speaker 1: like what else can do? So it was just like
Speaker 1: she you would calling me everyone like you live back?
Speaker 1: What's the soundtrack to your lifestyle? Like what's up of music?
Speaker 1: From all the way to Dirts Friday? Were really I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm I don't really add too much new, just a
Speaker 1: new future, like I'm going from future and like that,
Speaker 1: I'm on the future, like right, I love Atlanta Atlanta
Speaker 1: music in general though, like that's something we've been on
Speaker 1: before we even moved here. It kind of drew us
Speaker 1: to the culture of Atlanta in general, just like from
Speaker 1: the rich kids to damn from you like bank. I
Speaker 1: mean because we went to college at Montgommery, so I
Speaker 1: mean the Atlanta state they we went to Urban and
Speaker 1: Montgomery you know for sure. But yeah, so just the
Speaker 1: culture and everything that was there kind of just drew
Speaker 1: us to Atlanta. And we had to come here to
Speaker 1: do a lot of shopping. We were doing a lot
Speaker 1: of shops. Next, what's it like, like you know, before
Speaker 1: y'all got into closing, you had a dream afore that,
Speaker 1: like whether it was an athlete or a rapper or
Speaker 1: desition or whatever. You know what I'm saying, Like what
Speaker 1: you think y'all might try and the entertainment being if
Speaker 1: you wasn't put some money like I want to invest,
Speaker 1: because that's just how it goes. Like every being the
Speaker 1: man that's from from the culture want to be in there.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, That's just how it go.
Speaker 1: Even every athlete want to be a rapper, every rapper,
Speaker 1: just how this ship go. Like, yeah, we've been approached
Speaker 1: about managing or like uh, starting the label. But I'm
Speaker 1: just the way that we said, the way that me
Speaker 1: and my team set up in the way and the
Speaker 1: understanding that we have, it's just gonna be hard for
Speaker 1: me to work with a younger artist with you know,
Speaker 1: his his team and his ego and for me to
Speaker 1: actually let him know, like bro, I mean, it's hard
Speaker 1: to see. Everybody was young and hard headed and we
Speaker 1: know how that and we know how that goes. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that it ain't you don't be
Speaker 1: hearing that ship. You know, they ain't hearing that ship.
Speaker 1: So you're having your way. You're just you're feeling yourself.
Speaker 1: So it's just different. So I kind of I mean
Speaker 1: I try to get into like I said, we try
Speaker 1: to music management and stuff like that. I mean, I
Speaker 1: could see myself, but it's hard because I'm saying you
Speaker 1: can't go back and forward that with that shirt saying
Speaker 1: nothing howing up and set it right. I mean, if
Speaker 1: it's I, it'll walk back. You don't have to go back.
Speaker 1: And so it's just hard. I mean when we just
Speaker 1: built on the business structure that we built on, like
Speaker 1: I just can't say like she or you want to
Speaker 1: change like I'm gonna lock you in the studio my
Speaker 1: house like ship, it's your house, like yeah, you locked
Speaker 1: in the motheruck like all the girls. Whatever you do,
Speaker 1: you do it or now. But we need to hit
Speaker 1: right because I'm telling you my ears different than yours.
Speaker 1: I may I like got them here like you said.
Speaker 1: I like to hear short float and like that one
Speaker 1: tell you I'm the type person, and I'd be like shot,
Speaker 1: I didn't try to have harder mem in the bed
Speaker 1: of a couple of time. We'll be listening today and
Speaker 1: I'll be like, oh, but turn on that baby, and
Speaker 1: the whole baby would have rolled that whole like I
Speaker 1: want to. I don't want to with your life future man,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't. Man, listen, I'm gonna be up in that
Speaker 1: like bro, listen to future road down and then find
Speaker 1: another thing I don't like about it. Day don't understand
Speaker 1: what me worked like like they think them they would
Speaker 1: really be party and this ship like and you know,
Speaker 1: they think we live a whole different lifestyle because they
Speaker 1: see you with a chain on in a nice car.
Speaker 1: They think that you just like we're going out having
Speaker 1: drinks like Brian drinking. I go to the gym, I
Speaker 1: eat right Monday through Friday, then then on Friday night,
Speaker 1: just like I'm working to get the popping. But ship
Speaker 1: other than that, we locked in because we got ship
Speaker 1: to do. I got bills to pay. I got people
Speaker 1: to pay, like like the colony ain't like you said,
Speaker 1: and he's got to know when they're coming in the
Speaker 1: new ship or anything. You compete with the top night.
Speaker 1: So what's gonna make me turn off future to listen
Speaker 1: to you and make one of them? Especially if you
Speaker 1: ain't working like that? Like I what am I work?
Speaker 1: What can I see? You? We're grown as hell, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn. If you're sixteen and you
Speaker 1: want to be a rapper, you're taking on the growing
Speaker 1: a man approach. Hey, my boy, you ain't hanging out
Speaker 1: of your neighborhood and all that ship. You gotta go
Speaker 1: to the studio chancing my money. But you're showing me.
Speaker 1: You you're showing my mother risk right here right you
Speaker 1: run around with the stick. Well, you're gonna eventually I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't do that. You can't do that. I can't
Speaker 1: do you secured it? You be secured it, or you're
Speaker 1: gonna do it. We can't do that. But if you're
Speaker 1: asking a studio and you're moving like a person that's
Speaker 1: supposed to be in the studio where you would have
Speaker 1: to worry about that ship and nobody wouldn't see you anyway, right,
Speaker 1: and you'll understand the being decided before you understand all
Speaker 1: the stupid still because you come through what they're secured
Speaker 1: and not they don't like, come on, man, like that's crazy.
Speaker 1: And that's another thing, like we were preaching and letting.
Speaker 1: I gotta let a lot of people know, like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm a civilian now, I mean like, I ain't got
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that. Don't call me and tell
Speaker 1: me who told. Don't call me and tell me who did.
Speaker 1: I ain't got ship to talk about that billion I
Speaker 1: don't even police. Ain't gonna never be around me for
Speaker 1: me to know he was a snitch or you was
Speaker 1: a snitch. None of that ship. I'm coming on regular
Speaker 1: people's ship. Like if he with me and you did
Speaker 1: your business, no, not that saying no, I ain't don't
Speaker 1: say like if somebody did something, somebody you're saying that
Speaker 1: you around me not necessarily died. That's a different line.
Speaker 1: I'm as far as the talking and I don't let me.
Speaker 1: I ain't got to do it that. Yeah, he's got
Speaker 1: damn it. He's seriousness ship. I hope he was real
Speaker 1: enough to keep me here about it because I don't
Speaker 1: want know. Oh, I don't be around too many. You're
Speaker 1: chilling like I'm chilling, but here y'all, Like he says, she,
Speaker 1: I don't want to that. That ain't my right. Wrong, Yeah, yeah, wrong,

Speaker 1: So she in the street like y'all, hold no, I'm
Speaker 1: staying so true to it cause I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear none of the ship y'all talking about. I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna never say nothing opposed to it or nothing against
Speaker 1: it like that. You're like, okay, she, but she he
Speaker 1: was invested in a little bit and the ship that
Speaker 1: was hard. Y'all want to buy, like you get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, hey, yeah, like something to close, you'll
Speaker 1: want to buy. But then I don't even want to
Speaker 1: hear that half of the stuff I don't even know about.
Speaker 1: That's what I was saying, Like certain ship that y'all
Speaker 1: can get a young Oh, stay away from that negative
Speaker 1: and ship. Man. That ship is social media, that ship
Speaker 1: is blogs. Like that ship is just what it is
Speaker 1: for its attention. You know what I'm saying, You can't.

Speaker 1: Black people the only people that do that? Right? I
Speaker 1: don't know crazy, there's no other It's just a talk guy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even about where we come from.
Speaker 1: Us as black people. We learned this before you everybody else.
Speaker 1: We're in a house full of people who do that
Speaker 1: I'm saying by but other races, when they have something
Speaker 1: going on like that, they've more of saying like you
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, Like I'm bored, Like I can't
Speaker 1: eat this, Like they really ain't eating steaks. We're saying,
Speaker 1: we're pouring we eat steaks. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: we're saying we ain't. I don't know when they got
Speaker 1: don't draw. And some people other races are saying they're
Speaker 1: poor and actually poor they shooes represent their clothes and
Speaker 1: represent their lifestyle, representing and we just actually speak that
Speaker 1: out of our mouth. And that's one of the worst
Speaker 1: things we do as a race altime, Like we just
Speaker 1: claim that because we learned it so early in life
Speaker 1: to just kind of be like I can complain. I
Speaker 1: can say this nast that. I can say that ain't good.
Speaker 1: I can say he ugly, I can say opinion, not
Speaker 1: that value. Look at the percentages in the world. We're
Speaker 1: really not that value. If you want to just take
Speaker 1: it back to statistics, like we're not that value. So
Speaker 1: I mean, the only way we can value our stuff
Speaker 1: is actually adding value to our race as a whole.
Speaker 1: For sure, standing on something you see, I'll be a
Speaker 1: boys around the see there what they say, be the
Speaker 1: change you want to see it? Right, you see them.
Speaker 1: They don't got the pictures, they don't have no T
Speaker 1: shirt on there. They just gotta saying be a change
Speaker 1: that you want to see. That's where we live about
Speaker 1: you every day. Like I wanted out, like I get
Speaker 1: back to the community, because I've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: people have money who didn't get back to the community.
Speaker 1: It don't make me to follow my example and something
Speaker 1: different because they never learned and how we're gonna get
Speaker 1: better as a race. Like if they don't understand that
Speaker 1: we you know, we don't gotta fight, we don't gotta argue.
Speaker 1: We ain't gotta be pushing niggas, bitches and holes to
Speaker 1: god damn communicate. Now we got there. Now we're building
Speaker 1: as a race. Now we can we can, we can
Speaker 1: step in these other rooms, Like are we upset because
Speaker 1: they've fin the judge? We're just gonna overcome. Look at
Speaker 1: the Baby documentary, he like, if you've just seen it
Speaker 1: from mis perspective, it was so crazy that a lot
Speaker 1: of people were saying it was crazy. But that's how
Speaker 1: I think, Like I can truly say that from I mean,
Speaker 1: and it's my big brother. Sometimes he tell me, like,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, bump this situation, Like you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm like, man, I go do that,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, they said that, but like if I rocked
Speaker 1: the show, how we ain't win, how we didn't win
Speaker 1: and we rocked the show. We come from nothing that
Speaker 1: when you're putting your nothing on another statued like that,
Speaker 1: grahamar gonna come. He ain't gonna stop working. That's what
Speaker 1: I see in Baby, like he ain't gonna stop working
Speaker 1: and he's name already. Don't want you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And just that short amount of time, he could have said,
Speaker 1: if this if that and it wouldn't have came. But
Speaker 1: it's like humblingly like I got it in the way
Speaker 1: I ain't even know expect That's why I don't get it.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm gonna have twenty of them because
Speaker 1: I got this one, not from even the work that
Speaker 1: I did by myself. And I know I'm great, So
Speaker 1: I except all my all my what what they say,
Speaker 1: all your postables, now what they say going to the topic,
Speaker 1: like what they say, Yeah, I get so all your
Speaker 1: obstacles to get to the top, to just make me
Speaker 1: necessarily great. He collecting on that taking everything that comes
Speaker 1: with it. I mean, it's nothing, it's nothing worse than
Speaker 1: what I feel like. It's nothing worse than where we
Speaker 1: come from. And that's where everybody got to understand about
Speaker 1: that ship. Like all us from the hood, like all
Speaker 1: of us was in the in the spot, and niggers
Speaker 1: in this place that ain't got ship, that don't need
Speaker 1: that the government pay rent. We got on fly ash
Speaker 1: shoes and flying closed and ship and we're able to
Speaker 1: you know, and you and you hustling and ship in
Speaker 1: that environment. You, I mean, you ain't really doing nothing
Speaker 1: for the community. I mean, not in that just that way.
Speaker 1: I ain't trying to be super safe where I just
Speaker 1: wish that everybody could kind of understand, like damn, it's
Speaker 1: some damage and ship we got going on with what
Speaker 1: we got going on with the community, and we gotta switch.
Speaker 1: We gotta switch over. You gotta a couple of dollars,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, you know, everything can just make sense,
Speaker 1: Like sometimes your situation don't necessarily determine what you got
Speaker 1: going on, so your heart can be totally different. We
Speaker 1: just gotta make this be the game. You gotta do
Speaker 1: a little some sort of community can't see so they
Speaker 1: all know, like ship, I gotta get a couple of
Speaker 1: dollars back, I gotta got damn just do something different
Speaker 1: to make it be seen where we just ain't in
Speaker 1: that same light that we we glorified so much all
Speaker 1: the time. For sure, one bitter sweet moment, like when
Speaker 1: you're making clothing is um and some other club and
Speaker 1: brands said that this is when they kind of feel
Speaker 1: that they made it, but they also felt a little
Speaker 1: sour about it. Have you ever seen your ship like
Speaker 1: boot bootleg, not not necessarily bootleg, but I mean because
Speaker 1: yeah have to influenced by style. I mean we really
Speaker 1: don't pay it on mine because we're really we're winning
Speaker 1: done brand. So by the time they copy something we've done,
Speaker 1: we're on to the next season that we're not making
Speaker 1: that anymore. So it's like you just made some old
Speaker 1: I mean, we just get tired about it when we
Speaker 1: got when we were young, when we were younger, we
Speaker 1: got a little tight about it for that ship. But
Speaker 1: that's why we work on qualities, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: We get inspiration the same way. I mean, there's no
Speaker 1: way to get I feel like fashion is not a
Speaker 1: not a blank it ain't a necessary to a blank canvas.
Speaker 1: It's not like you can look at a blank body
Speaker 1: and be like, oh yeah, this ship is gonna be clean.
Speaker 1: Like we know what looked clean, Like you know Dark
Speaker 1: Deniman teams clean. Everybody know that clean. It ain't just
Speaker 1: like no ship that's specific to you or Polo or
Speaker 1: Loui Verton, whoever. Like everybody know the same ship. Like
Speaker 1: everybody knows a person like a little and Jack. Everybody
Speaker 1: knows I mean, everybody know a certain type of shirt.
Speaker 1: You got shorts, like you got shorts to say you
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying you gotta do is make them
Speaker 1: fresh with people like essentials like get like what y'all
Speaker 1: like feel the clothes like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like when material like and never want to come from
Speaker 1: like because you gotta make a quality available to um
Speaker 1: every price range, a lower price range consumer. So from
Speaker 1: us personthing they can understand the quality we get like
Speaker 1: they can understand it because I mean at some points
Speaker 1: you you expand to a quality like this and they're like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of I started off with a
Speaker 1: lot of complaints like man as thick as that. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: if you want to actually create a vintage or longer
Speaker 1: lasting brand, I actually made the quality of the brand
Speaker 1: to stand for ten years. So it will it'll end
Speaker 1: up in one of these you know that I want
Speaker 1: you to have so many that you loved my brand
Speaker 1: throughout the years or in your prime, that you had
Speaker 1: a hundred shirts and you end up taking them to
Speaker 1: the good Will to play them the closet because the
Speaker 1: kid is gonna go in there and they're gonna get
Speaker 1: it and they're black. Oh damn, that was too long.
Speaker 1: I did see that back in the day. Making light
Speaker 1: fool all right, for sure, Just making a staple product though,
Speaker 1: so they kind of just actually grew just to want
Speaker 1: to have something. Ever, last night we always did joab

Speaker 1: were just posting on Instagram on random days. Again at
Speaker 1: the true we can get away a jeep two of
Speaker 1: this wrapped jeep. That was about last Christmas. And that

Speaker 1: That's just so virginal and off white man in your opinion,
Speaker 1: Like what kind of influence do you have on y'all?
Speaker 1: And and also how do y'all think he changed the game?
Speaker 1: He changed the game. I mean he made it, and
Speaker 1: he made it where people like this could actually flourished
Speaker 1: from from the ground up with it, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: people didn't understand street fast. I mean I don't understand
Speaker 1: street fash even in that even in that still in
Speaker 1: that come step like uh and I feel like they
Speaker 1: just opened they He made a nice base for m
Speaker 1: so that we can build from like it's always been there.
Speaker 1: But it's just like, as black people in general, to
Speaker 1: just take it to the points that he took it
Speaker 1: and achieved exactly what he achieved. It was amazing because
Speaker 1: he already had a brand that was a successful brain
Speaker 1: and then he went to rent a little between, so
Speaker 1: it just opened a lot of doors. And then when
Speaker 1: he came for loutle Between, it was really, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: some of the most urban and just forward fashion that
Speaker 1: we've seen from over in the light time. So it's
Speaker 1: like she right for sure, like so it influenced a lot.
Speaker 1: Actually it actually opens right exactly. So the off white
Speaker 1: that's stuff right exactly broke all the exactly that right exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what made it opened it the fire race to
Speaker 1: make us be able to break those barriers that pretty
Speaker 1: much he's already broken. Now you gotta try to exceed it.
Speaker 1: What is fresh? Me easy? I love man man. Let
Speaker 1: you say it again, O freend fresh. I'm saying it's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're easy for people have their all perspectives of fresh.
Speaker 1: But do y'all ever see times in fashion when you
Speaker 1: think people are pushing it or stretching? Not because I
Speaker 1: understand it from all perspectives, you understand. You got to
Speaker 1: understand that fashion is a forward thing. And you're not
Speaker 1: gonna understand when you look at my bad Do you
Speaker 1: want to look at Gala and Galla and all this
Speaker 1: other ship and somebody just put on some ship. Because
Speaker 1: that's different. Though, that's not that that that ain't really
Speaker 1: fashion for you to understand it ain't. It's a it's
Speaker 1: an appreciated Yeah, it's I mean, it's trolling. It's trolling
Speaker 1: the inn the art though. You gotta understand what artists
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm saying. It's controversial. So that's why. And
Speaker 1: you're talking about it right now, we're on the we're
Speaker 1: on the big you know, you're talking about it. That's
Speaker 1: what it is. That's it's just like at the Matt Gala.
Speaker 1: Every year they have a theme, so the the whole
Speaker 1: goal for the Matt Gala is to choose or create
Speaker 1: the most outlandish outfit within that theme so that you
Speaker 1: can be the most talked about. So that's like the purpose.
Speaker 1: So when you say somebody's ship like oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't believe they wore that or whatever, then you say,
Speaker 1: whether it's positive or negative, you accomplished that. It is
Speaker 1: a controversial fashion. Yeah, it's different. Conversation piece get different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I still had on what the hell, broad don't
Speaker 1: know what, you know, like braining something. I got to
Speaker 1: know who the biggest artist is. You know you're the one.
Speaker 1: You cannot not talk about this, Yeah, I can not
Speaker 1: talk about You're gonna talk about the best his latest
Speaker 1: gap drop in the garbage bags. I couldn't even know
Speaker 1: what he do. Yeah. Now you're starting to cross seasons though,
Speaker 1: like wearing super winter stuff in the middle of summer,
Speaker 1: and that's what it is. You got to understand that
Speaker 1: even with the younger generation, we we look for comfort,
Speaker 1: they comfort as a different way. I mean they comforted
Speaker 1: them feeling cool. I guess I mean fresh. It's different,
Speaker 1: So it's different. You got to understand that rappers never
Speaker 1: not don't never not wear jackets. I mean the fresh
Speaker 1: you can only be fresh is when you got on layers.
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying, that's never like a
Speaker 1: T shirt, never gonna be the jacket. It's no day
Speaker 1: in the world that you're gonna have on a T
Speaker 1: shirt and be fresh and in the under the dude
Speaker 1: with the jacket don't come. So you put on the layers.
Speaker 1: That's fresh, fresh fresh. You gotta go layers before a shirt,
Speaker 1: and you go T shirt before jacket. You're not fresh,
Speaker 1: like damn not prayer if you and if you get
Speaker 1: hot in the summer, you ain't cool enough. I'm so cool.
Speaker 1: Some women say that ship when you're wearing the heels
Speaker 1: and all that ship fashion. I mean fresh is cool.
Speaker 1: So if you if you get hot, cool cool to
Speaker 1: get hut ain't cool because I had on for me
Speaker 1: and I like when I waked outside that you gotta
Speaker 1: understand what you even with making fashion? You uh, the kids,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the inboxes. We had to shift to
Speaker 1: that and make sure we did have a long way
Speaker 1: available in the summertime, because that's why you gotta do
Speaker 1: the long tea shirts and stuff in the summer. Told
Speaker 1: me that you have to have that. I don't stop.
Speaker 1: I mean, like we don't have as many as a
Speaker 1: as a wide ride of range that we have in
Speaker 1: the fall. In the winter, but you have to have
Speaker 1: hoodies in switch shirts and the I mean that's the
Speaker 1: standout pieces. Like that's something with with some brands don't
Speaker 1: really understand about fashion that you have to move at
Speaker 1: the same pace as what you see the world rolling
Speaker 1: that right now, Like I told Bank, he can't see
Speaker 1: me like he had a micro Swiss. He's like, why
Speaker 1: y'all got Swiss shoes. You got a Swiss spens some
Speaker 1: money with them ship. I want that money. You don't
Speaker 1: buy another Swiss the blue one. You're gonna be from
Speaker 1: men until to actually know that you're going to have
Speaker 1: this stuff before the major consumers have it. Or at
Speaker 1: the same time, you want to be in the same
Speaker 1: race of what's going on, so when Black Friday come around,
Speaker 1: you ain't just getting in your switch because you gotta understand,
Speaker 1: if you just get shipped in on Black Friday and
Speaker 1: your bread all the other bread now done, how are
Speaker 1: you going on the best selling day of the world
Speaker 1: and you're not having the sale? So you actually just
Speaker 1: cut your money. People love to try to save spending money,
Speaker 1: spending more money exactly because you get more of a product.
Speaker 1: And it's like, why would I go to another place
Speaker 1: when I'm already here. When you go to the mall
Speaker 1: back in the day when they had it, where you
Speaker 1: actually running the mall to get the stuff that you
Speaker 1: want to get on Black Friday, I think about it.
Speaker 1: You wanted to bring your entire family so that hey,
Speaker 1: you run, the tars are risks. I'm gonna running get
Speaker 1: your shoes and we leave here without having to go
Speaker 1: get any anything else exactly. So if if I have
Speaker 1: it and I have my black Friday ceiling, you say,
Speaker 1: and you simply just say the biggest thing that's talked
Speaker 1: about in a ra is now I want to support
Speaker 1: black exactly, and I type you in and you gotta
Speaker 1: see it coming on Friday. Now, I said my loring
Speaker 1: for you, and now I can get all my nieces
Speaker 1: and nephews if I like it, everything out of the
Speaker 1: way exactly. What's the most the most soul product and
Speaker 1: um in clothing period? That's hard. It's hard to say.
Speaker 1: I mean everything having season. Yeah, I mean we I
Speaker 1: don't know, so we have essential products probably see the
Speaker 1: most the most as far as friends in general. But
Speaker 1: I just not not just people, even if you were
Speaker 1: a jacket teachers, not everybody under we said, we actually
Speaker 1: have undergoing. It's like our own tea. Yeah. I got
Speaker 1: the same kind of like white teeth like Polo guys
Speaker 1: right about them. So we have our own pack. That's
Speaker 1: our best. That item the pax PAXI T shirts and
Speaker 1: stocks right, paxt items always sent items always. So are
Speaker 1: y'all ever gonna branch out and start making like those
Speaker 1: same essential items for women. I don't plan to. Why not, man,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just kind of harder to cater to
Speaker 1: women when you're a man, like I don't know what
Speaker 1: feels good to you. I know exactly, I know exactly
Speaker 1: how I wanted to. However, think about expanding your design
Speaker 1: team and bringing on some qualified females. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: definitely you wouldn't I wouldn't rule that out. I mean
Speaker 1: it's money. I mean, I wouldn't rule it out. But
Speaker 1: right now, I'm just thinking it's happing into another market. No,
Speaker 1: we have we have women. I mean we have to.
Speaker 1: We have women drops in one day, so I mean
Speaker 1: we cater to the women. I mean it's it's a
Speaker 1: one day half of the stiff products I feel like
Speaker 1: get a complaint on because it's it's too crazy for
Speaker 1: a woman, because I mean, something can have a crazy
Speaker 1: you had a grocer indiction big enough. We all got kids,
Speaker 1: and they all got kids. Formula y'all would kill at
Speaker 1: this everything, Like I ain't got skateboards because we're introducing
Speaker 1: that that's a streetwear a product, and we have to
Speaker 1: introduce that to the culture, just like we have to
Speaker 1: introduce Southern items to the streetwear coach like matching ship
Speaker 1: Like Matching SAIDs like that's down South, down South. So
Speaker 1: it's like that's what we cater into because we Southern streetwear.
Speaker 1: You know, you may go up north and they may
Speaker 1: have something totally biper, like you were just asking about
Speaker 1: friendship like day and that ship attacking, But to all
Speaker 1: that color is crazy, Like why the hell y'all got
Speaker 1: something bright? Ye lord pink of this? Because Nick is
Speaker 1: in the South behind the doors. They ain't think about
Speaker 1: that ship. They're going to what goes on. So you
Speaker 1: have to understand that the Southern trap culture to understand
Speaker 1: the Southern fashion because the fashion here is influenced by
Speaker 1: the trap. It ain't. It don't come from nowhere else.
Speaker 1: Like everybody who's getting the fresh ship they're getting from
Speaker 1: what what comes from the streets. So it's like streets
Speaker 1: first then yeah, and that's I feel like that's universal
Speaker 1: in South and Florida all the way back to Texas
Speaker 1: somewhere like it it's gonna be mostly influenced by what's
Speaker 1: going on on the streets where has what what shoes
Speaker 1: are dropping? White forces like ship that's based on specifically
Speaker 1: different in the South. So I mean, it's just easy
Speaker 1: to we cater to what we know and that's something
Speaker 1: that we know, and I mean not consider myself as
Speaker 1: a person that's pretty fashion forward. And I sometimes I
Speaker 1: just just like if I if I do it, you
Speaker 1: gotta do it. That's the kind of attitude I'm holding
Speaker 1: with my brain. I mean, it's mine. So it's like
Speaker 1: it's ship I excellent me. You say you don't like
Speaker 1: what I've made, Sure, let me see how fresh you get.
Speaker 1: Let me see what you wear every day, Like we're
Speaker 1: gonna get you, Like I might get what you got
Speaker 1: a chance, if you get what I would get. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm giving a chance. Whether it's like we're just that's
Speaker 1: the attitude with carrying with it, and it's just kind
Speaker 1: of like sometimes that works with a brand. Most of
Speaker 1: the time it works like you gotta understand like you're
Speaker 1: establishing something for you and everybody. It ain't for everybody.
Speaker 1: Just cater into what you necessarily know, and sometimes that
Speaker 1: audience is what makes you super successful. What you think
Speaker 1: made it catch you though, what you staying truth to
Speaker 1: the South, staying true to the South and to ourselves,
Speaker 1: you know for sure, and the work is you staying
Speaker 1: to to what you actually know. We could have went
Speaker 1: off and tried to make a jacket or some ship
Speaker 1: like that and it wouldn't have It wouldn't have work necessarily.
Speaker 1: We did this ship how people do it in the South.
Speaker 1: We were in the neighborhood that people don't go to.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, pulling spint, But I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I'm a Sabian. I don't damn what y'all over. Youre
Speaker 1: doing none of that. I came to see a cold
Speaker 1: y'all want to rob me for them, and I made
Speaker 1: for clothes. I might let you do it like that
Speaker 1: ain't what I'm on. But I mean it's I'm a
Speaker 1: Seville and you're stupid, like you just took something from
Speaker 1: a Seville. I ain't come up here trying to be
Speaker 1: a gainst. You'd have took something from me, like you're tripping.
Speaker 1: I'm on a whole different. It wasn't even be It
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be talking about because of the engine. Never,
Speaker 1: it was never without it. It was never. Now, that's
Speaker 1: what I was saying, Like what y'all think the marketing
Speaker 1: scheme was like? Because it was never like niggas was
Speaker 1: fucking with Nigga's embraced it immediately. I think it was
Speaker 1: the true work ethic. I mean, we was available, like
Speaker 1: you called me, I'm coming like you. Weren't too many
Speaker 1: places that I mean because I didn't close some ship
Speaker 1: right what I was like, I'm coming in there with you.
Speaker 1: And then it was so crazy that we were just
Speaker 1: so to ourselves with a lot of movements and everything
Speaker 1: going on. And that's what a lot of people respected
Speaker 1: because it was like I knew Bank. I don't used
Speaker 1: to pull up on Thug. I'd have pulled up on Baby.
Speaker 1: I'd have pulled up on Everybody'd be like, we're gonna
Speaker 1: go to a show, like y'all want to go? No,
Speaker 1: like we're gonna go back to the house. I ain't shit,
Speaker 1: I ain't right now. I appreciate that everything y'all offering
Speaker 1: to me, but no, like I ain't really coming like that,
Speaker 1: ain't but y'all, yeah, I'm telling you, they don't really
Speaker 1: stop right here. So I ain't really trying to boost
Speaker 1: like get my ego boost off and nothing that I'm doing.
Speaker 1: We're just working. So it was just I work it
Speaker 1: and being where we needed to be, like we was
Speaker 1: in those places and like they said, really incognito, like
Speaker 1: like damn, they were just here. How everybody don't where
Speaker 1: the hell who I don't need like what they're doing
Speaker 1: when they got there somewhere else working. Everybody call us
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I need you to do this for
Speaker 1: some work. But you actually to come to the club,
Speaker 1: I might throw you out for a whole year, like
Speaker 1: it ain't really coming. Like I ain't saying I don't
Speaker 1: go to the club. I don't go by myself, Like
Speaker 1: we're just chilling, like I don't like the club that much.
Speaker 1: I'm just going up in there cheerful. We don't need
Speaker 1: to go with everybody else. I mean when you need,
Speaker 1: you need to do logo anything going into the money contests,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like everything we do is
Speaker 1: that strictly for us. I mean for us to appreciate.
Speaker 1: So we don't really you know, involve ourselves. We stay
Speaker 1: out of the way, stay stay too to all working.
