Where to begin?
A Tribe Called Quest was virtually a right of passage for me. They were the moment I fell in love with hip hop, and quite possibly started the journey to loving my quirks. Trying my hardest not to sound like “Brown Sugar”, I remember the first night I heard them. It was 98.7 kissfm; DJ Red Alert debuted the “Spread Love” remix of Bonita Applebaum. She was the first fictional female I wished I was.
People’s Instinctive travels and the Paths of Ryhthm
Bright, summery, not overly sexualized. Bonita was the original sought after girl. Because we are now living in a day and age where you have to be on fleek 24/7, it’s nice to fall back for nostalgias sake and give you laid back cute.

Luck of Lucien 
This vibe is totally L.o.L
Sooo not norm core but 100% relaxed. ATCQ made you feel good about just being you. Telling Lucien they were compassionate to him “as is” did something for me as a teen fashion/ fit-in wise, and it stills rings true today.
Tee Shirt: Target – $3
Print pants – $10 some street store off of St. Mark’s NYC
Sneakers: Superga Sneakers – $6 (yes $6! You want me to be your shopper)
Low End Theory vs. Midnight Marauders
Both albums are soooo dope, if you ever want to have a heated discussion, sit with me and my childhood crew (this consisted of my twin brother and his friends) regarding samples, lyrics, originality…
But that red & green figure… That tribal design… Has influenced fashion and demo covers the world over!
This dope tee was copped from a Creative Control gathering here in Columbus. This shirt was an homage created by none other than @mrshortscreates
Tee shirt: Creative Control – $15
Shorts: made
Sneakers: Converse – $60 (told you everything isn’t under $50)
Never forget, shop wisely and walk hard!!
