LIVING THE LO-LIFE

Vice Mag just released a dope interview they did with the original “Lo-Life” crew. During the 80s and 90s the Lo-Life crew who were a fashion-forward folks in the projects of Brooklyn, began obsessing over it and boosting it from stores in mass quantities, creating one of the most incongruous subcultures of the last three decades. Check out there interview and then grab your own piece of Polo obsession with the COA x GoodWood NYC Da Bears Collection. Here at Snapbackkings.

What about really rare pieces? Were there certain ones that you couldn’t find anywhere?
There are pieces that are like, mythological.
Meyhem: The Never-Ending Bear.
The Never-Ending Bear?
Well, supposedly there’s a knit out there with a bear rockin’ a knit with himself on it, and he’s rocking a bear, and it just goes on and on forever [laughs]. Guys will swear they have three of those but they never bring it out, never rock it for flicks, but supposedly it’s there.

As you probably already know Atlanta is the hotbed for rap. But there's still a handful of rappers out there in the A that sadly never get the proper shine they rightfully deserve. Enter ATLien Skinny-C, who dropped a series of grassroots performance and fan engagement campaigns through the Southeast. As a result, Skinny-C has sold more than 10,000 combined digital and hard copies of his 2010 release Mixtape Muzik Vol. 1: INTREPID and Mixtape Muzik Vol. 2: RHAPSODY. Since then, Skinny-C has performed at the 11th annual June-teenth Festival and the 5th Annual Texas Summer Music Conference. “I wrote ‘Polo’ on some feelgood fly ish,” says Skinny. “I’m a Polo head that stays fly but don’t seek attention (never thirsty), but on this day I was cleaner than yesterday, so the universe needs to look at me because not only am I fresher than most, I also got something to say.” Check out Skinny-C's "Polo" after the jump.
