THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OTHER UPCOMING CLOTHING LINES AND I ARE, I ACTUALLY PRINT MY SHIRTS MYSELF, I SEW THE LABELS AND EVERYTHING ON THERE MYSELF. THEY ARE THE SAME QUALITY WORK YOU ARE GETTING OR EVEN BETTER.
BEFORE I DECIDE TO SELL A SHIRT TO AN INDIVIDUAL I'LL MAKE SURE IM HAPPY WITH IT AND MOST DEFINITELY WILL BE SOMETHING I SEE MYSELF WEARING BEFORE I TAKE MONEY FROM ANYONE. I REALLY VALUE WHAT I DO, SO INSTEAD OF PAYING SOMEONE TO DO THE JOB FOR ME, I DECIDED TO LEARN THE CRAFT ON MY OWN TIME SO I CAN KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON. PEOPLE APPRECIATE WHEN YOU SPEND THE TIME TRYING TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING GREAT THAN JUST A PUT TOGETHER PROJECT YOU TRYING TO GAIN FROM.
PREPPING A SHIRT FOR COSTUMER.
I CONSIDER MYSELF THE "POOR MAN PICASO" WHEN IT COMES TO PRINTING OR MY ART, BECAUSE I AM NOT USING SOME WHAT OF A HIGH-TEK MACHINE TO GET THESE SHIRTS DONE, I USE THE FEW SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES I PUT TOGETHER THAT WORKED WELL TO CREATE WHAT I HAVE. I AM NOT ASKING FOR SPECAIL TREATMENTS OR SEEKING YOU BUY MORE OF MY SHIRTS, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S MORE TO IT THAN WHAT YOU SEE, AND WHAT SET ME APART FROM THE OTHERS. IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE BOUGHT A SHIRT FROM ME, YOU'LL KNOW YOU ARE GETTING YOUR MONEY WORTH, NOT SOME CRAP.

I KNOW I KNOW IKNOW!!, I HAVENT UPDATED THE SITE MUCH, I POST SO MUCH STUFF ON THE FAN PAGE THAT I FORGET TO ADD THINGS TO THE SITE. WELL SINCE I LASTED UPDATED YOU GUYS, ALOT HAS HAPPEN, IVE BE DOING ALOT OF NETWORKING, I'VE PRINTING SAMPLE AND STUFF THAT I WAS LOOKING TO PUT OUT, SOME I DECIDED I'LL USE AND OTHERS, I DONT THINK STAND A CHANCE, I'LL JUST KEEP THOSE IN MY VAULT UNTIL I CAN FIND WAYS TO IMPROVE EM.
MY GOOD FRIEND MIKE DREAMS AND I CAME TOGETHER AGAIN THIS YEAR TO BRING YOU ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE T-SHIRT. THE " LIVE.LOVE.LIFE" JOINT. JUST A REMINDER OF HOW OUR LIFE IS AND HOW WE SHOULD LEARN TO LIVE AND LOVE IT NO MATTER WHAT. I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE GREY THIS TIME AROUND WITH SOME BOLD JAPANESE LIKE WRITING TO GIVE IT A LIL FANCY LOOK, I KNOW HOW YOU AND I BOTH LOVE BEING ALL FANCY..LOL THEY ARE IN THE STORE NOW , SO GO AHEAD GET YOURS, THEY ARE VERY LIMITED
SO GET THEM WHILE THEY LAST.
ANOTHER DESIGN I RELEASED RECENTLY WAS A PIECE FROM MY -SMARTMOUTH COLLECTION-. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS, I'LL BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU. : AS A KID WHEN YOU ARE BEING RUDE TO YOUR PARENTS, THEY TELL YOU TO STOP BEING "FRESH", "DONT GET SMART WITH ME" OR "YOU GOT A SMARTMOUTH HUH?" THIS ALL FALLS IN THE CATEGORY OF US GIVING OUR FOLKS "CHEEKS", IN OTHER WORDS, WE JUST WONT SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET EM YELL AT US. TODAY IN THE URBAN WORLD OF FASHION, WHEN WE SEE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS OUT THE ORDINARY, WE PROCLAIM IT BEING "FRESH" WHICH ALSO FALLS UNDER THE TERM SMARTMOUTH. THATS WHERE I GOT THAT FROM, SO I WHEN I SAY I FEEL LIKE A SMARTMOUTH RIGHT NOW, IM TRYING TO TELL YOU I AM FRESH, I LOOK GOOD IN WHAT I AM CURRENTLY WEARING. LOL IT PROBABLY SOUND A LIL CORNY RIGHT NOW BUT YOU'LL GET IT LATER ON. LOL WITH THAT BEING SAID, FOR THE SMARTMOUTH COLLECTION, WE GOT THE MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS SWEATSHIRT. IM SURE THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'VE TOLD SOMEONE BEFORE OR WISHING YOU COULD HAVE DO IT.. THE SHIRT SAYS IT ALL FOR YOU.. ALL YOU GOT DO IT TILT YOU HEAD TO THE RIGHT AND IT'LL HANDLE BUSINESS FOR YOU. LOL. YOU CAN ALSO FIND THAT IN THE STORE TOO.
SO YOU SEE, I'VE BEEN WORKING, I PROMISE I WASNT SLACKING. =) THANKS FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT. GOD BLESS.

Hi, my name is Kunta Kinte. You probably hear that and start laughing well, that's who I am. It's funny when people see or hear this name, they look at it as a practical joke. IT REALLY ISN'T! Years ago when I came to this country I was called that name several times and I didn't know what the heck it meant. An associate of mine told me they were referring to me. I was disgusted by it, I had no clue why they were calling me a name that wasn't mine. I would throw a fit and just ignore them. Where I came from, there wasn't a T.V, actually there was, but we didn't have electricity. I only saw a movie when we went to the movie theater, or during Christmas when we visited my Aunties' house on the other side of town. I wasn't aware of the movie ROOTS until I came to America. As a youngin' I couldnt comprehend what I was watching, but I knew it was a show and as I grew older, of course I started catching on to what was going on and the point they were trying to make. Before I run away from the topic, I called my self Kunta Kinte, because I am African, I was never a slave, but I am from Africa. Some may say the character was fictional, might say it was based on an actual individual. Whatever the case may be, I know that Kunta stood his ground and wasn't taking any crap from any one. He stood for what he believed in, most importantly he stood up for himself. Well this relates to me in a sense because, I went through the same crap when I first came to the U.S. I was called all sorts of name that really made me felt uncomfortable bout myself.
The only people I knew were the folks I lived with and that was it because I didn't have any friends. I went to school everyday being the pratactical joke of everyone. Kids would bring magazines and show me pictures of kids featured on the National Geographic Channel and make fun of Africans and the food we ate. All of this had a toll on my learning process, and as smart as I was, I wasn't able to stay focused in school at all during this mayhem. To make a long story short, months later, I started to conform to the African American way of doing things. I just wanted to be cool, or at least be accepted. Things started going a bit smooth. I made few friends, I started playing American football, even though I really sucked at it, I did all I could just so I wouldn't look any different from the other kids. As much as I loved soccer, I stopped playing it, because it wasnt so normal to the other kids, well the ones I went to school with. Only the Asians and Hispanic played soccer. Later, I started talking like the African Americans, started sagging my pants because that's what I saw my friends do. I learned the word nigga and used it like nothing. I didnt really understand what it was and didn't care at all. I was a kid, only a kid tryna to fit in. My house phone started ringing off the hook, teachers asking to speak to my father. I was getting into fights in school, making threats to kids, telling them Im gonna whoop their ass when I catch them outside at recess. The authorities at school started to wonder, what has gotten into the sweet kid they loved so much, the one that was always polite, never had time to tell him twice to do the right thing. Letters were later being sent to my house asking my father to come in for meetings. He was never able to go. He would read the letters,get mad at me and beat the shit outta me and not show up. He would call the school and schedule another meeting which he would hesitate to attend.
Years later, at the age of fifteen or sixteen , I SNAPPED OUT OF IT!! I thought to myself, what am I doing?, I was destroying myself! Bringing the value down of the kind of person I truly was. Still rough around the edges, I started to embrace my culture and what we represented. I've always been gifted with art, so I used that to help me build upon what I wanted to achieve. I printed shirts that stated I am African, I painted my sneakers red yellow and green. I then started to associate myself with other Africans who really embraced their culture. Later people around me started to see the difference in me, they started to see the new me. Some found it wierd that I was being the way I was. I was happy that I did not have to front anymore, pretending Im something Im really not, that wasnt me and never will be. I AM KUNTA KINTE! IM NOT WILLING TO CONFORM INTO THIS SOCIETY OF WHAT'S COOL AND WHAT'S NOT. I KNOW WHO I AM AND IM STICKING TO IT. IM PROUD OF MYSELF THAT I DECIDED THIS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE INSTEAD OF BEING AN ATOMIC FLUID TO THIS SOCIETY. IM HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, IMPACT LIVES IN WAYS I KNOW HOW TO. THE MAN IN THE MIRROR IS AS EXTRAORDINARY AS I WANT HIM TO BE.
I had the privilege to go check out my home girls Coco and Breezy Presentation last night in the Big Apple, I must say it was amazing. It smelled like nothing but success in the air. The long nights staying up grinding extra hard is really paying off for them. These young ladies are taking this fashion world by a storm and I don't think they are shifting gears anytime soon to slow down. For more info Visit WWW.COCOANDBREEZY.COM
