Social Media and Our Community

social-media-and-the-community

Honestly, one thing that we often blame for the watering down of the culture is social media… Read more

The Return Of Sunday Skool Session

If you’re from Florida, and especially the Central Florida area, you may have some fond memories of a dope little spot called Reign. It was the first mom + pop boutique in Orlando to introduce streetwear brands such as The Hundreds, Crooks, 10 Deep, and Hellz Bellz before they gained mainstream popularity, and they humbly made room on their shelves to help surge Florida based brands such as Nufsed, Bofresco, and Biggest & Baddest.

Hip-Hop and Breaking culture are at a pivotal point in which it is make or break situation (no pun intended).
