Cam Meekins






An up an coming rapper from Boston? I was iffy when I heard about him haha. He comes correct though! 
Apparently he's been rapping since he was young, he says when he was 4 in one of his songs. By 6th grade he was making beats and by highschool he was known for his production skills. That's crazy.

Off his mixtape 'Blazed and Confused'

His Junior year in higschool he started taking his raps seriously. Born in 1993, he just graduated higschool and is making a mark on the rap scene. His lyrics are what really catch me. enjoy

KAWS X Hennesy


KAWS, one of my favorite artists collaborated with Hennessy to release a limited edition bottle set of their cognac.


420,000 in Total, a Large amount, but then again its not like a limited edition piece of clothing.


I want one.
To collect of course.

YellowKidSlanty























My next stop in the city was in slightly cramped quarters, let’s call it a design dungeon, of an infamous character who goes by the name of Yellow Kid Slanty. More commonly known as Kevin Saer Leong. Perhaps more commonly known as the man who helped Russel Simmons make Phat Farm, and whatever other spin-off brands they have cooking over there amongst the Russel Clan, into massive, globe spanning, multi-million dollar empires.I was invited to meet Kevin at the request of old friend and endless agitator of the streets, Great Scott. Let’s take a second to think about this for a moment. Leong basically designed an entire generation of urban wear at the behest of Russel Simmons. Baggy jeans, dramatic polos, all denim everything, and massive logos. The good, the bad, and looking back, some ugly. But realize that he basically defined a look that dominated urban culture, and in many rights still dominates to this day. That’s a resume and a half folks. Respect earned, and given gladly. But that’s the past. Yellow Kid SlantyOrigami, and Kevin’s stockpiled office of graffiti covered foolery is the future.














































I have a fascination with other people’s work space. And while Kevin’s isn’t exactly what I’d consider my own personal preference, I can related completely to the state of things in his office. Still wrapped copies of Adobe Illustrator atop endless stacks of vectored designs that extend years into the future. Personal stores of fabric, shipments, and product stocked away next to a mountainous collection of inspiration and literature. When you see this much clutter. It usually means someone is a whole lot of something done. In my case, it just means I’m getting my room dirty. For most other beings, most likely Kevin included, it means work is being finished and there’s no time for neat desks or welcome mats for visitors.

Fall/ Winter 2011

JS Wings Hooded Sweatshirt

Jeremy Scott's known for his exravagant designs, his JS Wings series being aruguably the most popular of his recent designs. The hoodie looks great to me, Something i'd wear any day


Then we have an Original Fake button down shirt, love the color and design.
Button downs are a major part of my style so i'll definitely be getting one of these

People ask if i plan to change up my style because i'm moving to Boston?
Nah, i'll still dress like I do now, if not better. Boston style doesn't appeal to me.

Pusha T- ft Tyler the Creator: Trouble on My Mind




It's a good song, Pusha and Tyler both did well on their verses. The video was well filmed but the concept behind it doesn't seem that deep. eh still, I liked it.

Shit man.

Just listen to It.

Otis feat. Otis Redding by


"I Invented Swagg, Poppin bottles puttin supermodels in cabs."

"Luxury Rap, The Hermes of Verses"
"Sophisticated ignorance,  Write my curses in cursive."

"WHAT MORE CAN I SAYYY"

Honestly for those people who say they like rap, and then argue that Kanye West can't rap, or lost it at some point? I don't see the basis in your argument. No i'm not a fanatic, but I mean just scroll up for the proof.

Short Summary of What i've been up to

So, since I cant really describe what the past few months have been like, I've decided to upload a couple pictures off my blackberry and just give em captions! Enjoy


Vinnies Styles Popup,
Sometime in February was the vinnies styles popup. Was a great event, well organized, S/o to Nice for holding it down that night. I got to meet Taz Arnold, he took 2 custom Prodigy shirts. Each 1 of 1. Chilled with the big homie Taz behind the dj booth for a bit and I got a few Ti$A shirts.



Chris Brown's listening party! Ahh this was a great night. At a private location in NYC , I was lucky enough to attend Chris's listening party where we previewed the entire album about a week before its official release. Some great tracks on there.

Here's me on my way in to the event. not my best look haha since I had to go straight from basketball practice to the event.

 I attended the XXL Freshmen of 2011 concert over at B.B Kings. The Lineup was great, I had a great time and met some wonderful people that night. Not to mention everyone who came shut down the stage. A special shout-out to the homies Mac Miller, Diggy, and Meek Mill. They reallly held it down that night

Even gingers ride dirty.

Got featured in my school newspaper! haha. Twas a nice article, thank you Rasha. Well written, even though I never said some of the stuff in there! Said I was charming, flirtatious, kind, and other things. <3 haha.
But nah seriously overall it was a great article and I appreciate it. :)

Ohh Man this day was crazy. It was the Big Sean Adidas in store event. Sean literally shut down SoHo that day! Big shout out to him! The police had to bring out a small crowd control squad because of the crowd that he drew in front of the store.
Before I headed to the event, I spotted this car on the street. It's a 2011 Maybach. So I knew either Kanye West or Rick Ross was somewhere in the vicinity haha. I ended up meeting Virgil Abloh, Kanye's artistic director and owner of RSVP Gallery in Chicago. Real cool guy, we talked for a bit before I headed over to the in-store event.  I also got to meet Don C and IBN Jasper! Real chill guys, talked to them about Prodigy and they loved the concept.

 Thissss was a photoshoot I sat in on, to familiarize myself  with how the photography world works in terms of photoshoots and photoshoot edicate. Always good to take time and learn instead of rushing in without knowledge of your task. Thanks Mrs. Neve for letting me sit in!


There are alot more but i'll save those for another post!
