I had the pleasure of watching this project develop from a conversation with my brother Rick Williams of Burn Rubber, to a sample, and now a release. Rick did it again — he took the 580 and made magic happen. Lighting does strike twice. The ‘Workforce’ pack will drop in 2 releases – The ‘Blue Collar’ will release Feb 1st with the ‘White Collar’ dropping a month later. Both available on Burn Rubber site.
Congrats Rick & Ro!
It’s an honor for my work to be included in the All Gone book by LaMJC for the 3rd year in a row. This edition features the New Balance 999 ‘Kennedy’ and the Adidas Forum ‘Crest’ which were both released last year.
Shouts to my guy Michael Dupouy / LaMJC for another great release.
I got alot of love from my peers in this video.
Shouts to Complex for the support.
Merry Post Holidays!

Put this piece together with the homie Action Bronson for BTC.
“Boylston Trading Co sits with Queens rapper Action Bronson to discuss his wardrobe as a youth, fashion likes, dislikes and what happened when he met American style royalty Ralph Lauren.”
The reign of the Harlem Diplomats is without a doubt one of the most influential periods in modern hip-hop. The movement that officially started with family features on Camron’s ‘S.D.E.’ album turned into one of New York City’s most powerful crews. Dipset created a sound that transcended the borders of east coast rap with a style that fueled urban culture for the better half of the 2000s. Killa Cam’s unapologetic uptown crew, Jim Jones, Freaky Zeeky and Juelz Santana, evolved to be leaders in their own rights commanding offshoot rap groups while still reppin’ the eagle and still screaming Harlem.
To celebrate the legacy of the Diplomats, we put together a comprehensive mix spanning years of bandana wearing and flag waving. While there is no possible way to include every significant offering of their vast catalogue, we believe we compiled some of Dipset’s best music in this 100+ minute homage.
Enjoy

Action Bronson is clearly a gifted lyricist, ex career chef and a curator of fine facial hair – but Bronson has a passion for fashion.
I directed a piece for Boylston Trading Co called ‘Action on Fashion’ that will premier next week.
Funny stuff.
