The ultimate urban fashion revolution brought
to you from the street corners, blocks, avenues, and
concrete jungles of the “Hood.” Created
by visionaries Shareef B. Scott,
Eric Shoates, and Delmar Coward as a guerilla clothing
company out to re-design the apparel and look that today’s
hip, slick, and in style brand name corporation
have lost touch with. “Our approach to this is
like a graffiti artist out to bomb the city, but instead
of krylon spray cans and pilot ink markers we using
clothes and the people who wear them as our canvases,
brick walls, and train cars.” The foundation of
all style is the formation of trends which are always
started in social circles of the lower class people
which continue to jumpstart everything by making something
out of basically nothing.
The attitude
of the urbanite is “bold in your face”
expression. The company’s genesis is a reflection
of what is relevant to today’s demand:
renegade, revolutionary, individualistic,
and original. If you look around at every marketing
advertisement, all you see is Hip Hop being used to
sell everything; everything that is popular comes
from the street. The company’s name is its motto
and creed: “It ain’t official if it ain’t
got that slang.” Its very meaning is
from the foundation of Hip Hop culture.
Official
on the streets means that it is the final word, the
bottom line, absolute, and no futher need for discussion.
Slang means what is current and is the term used to
identify street language, the alternative form of
communication used by people on the street, the block,
the hood, etc. Our brand is the look, the style, the
attitude of what is hot, what is now, and the
future of all what is to be.
