The ‘LO-End Theory was birthed as a concept from a meeting I was a part of with Timeless Truth, Meyhem Lauren, Sean Price, Roc Marciano and Thirstin’ Howl The 3rd. The idea in my mind was to pool the interconnected bases of all these artists under one flag. Not a Polo flag, but a brotherhood flag.

See, if this had been twenty years ago I wouldn’t have been able to be friends with Thirstin’ Howl. Our circles and networks would have prevented this from occurring. Now that we are in our forties we can see a bigger picture for ourselves.

Suffice to say it but I’m a fan of Thirstin’ Howl. His legendary work ethic and his professionalism make him a cultural iconoclast. Dude definitely deserves to be in the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame.

My nigga Meyhem Lauren is also instrumental in the formation of the ‘LO-End Theory. This dude builds bridges with his persona and his patience. I have the utmost respect for him as he continues his journey with force and focus.

Now that the ‘LO-End Theory has been launched its time to find another place for the event to touch down and spread the Lifestyle vibe to the attendees. I’d like to go to Atlanta to bring the Buy-Sell-Trade of vintage I.T.’s to that community, and maybe even Montreal so that we could have an Olympics themed photoshoot.

Wherever we go to next I’ll make sure I do a better job of letting the community know how important it is to support these artists for their independent trailblazing and their everlasting dedication to staying fresh.

Chocolate Snowflake is dipping off on me this weekend for a trip upstate to our post-Armageddon hideout. Up in the mountains springtime is straining to popoff under the still unthawed snow. Spring will come tho’ this much is true. And if I was up in those woods hiking with C.S. I would put my Lifestyle together something like this…

Winter/Spring suedes are some of my favorite Lifestyle I.T.’s because this is when you really get to enjoy the sublime materials Ralph Lauren uses to craft his pieces.

Fireman’s jacket with lobster clasps, quail hunting vest, wool shooting shirt with elbow patches and lambskin suede button down. Only my peoples Timeless Truth or Meyhem Lauren and the Outdoorsmen would recognize each of these I.T.’s as Lifestyle.

The lambskin suede shirt was a comeup in Marchall’s for $99.

When you turn your R.L. pieces inside out is when you really get to enjoy the craftsmanship applied to these garments. This is the reason that Ralph Lauren has its reputation. Not for the big logos or graphic designs, but because these pieces are built to last.

If I was going to the mountain I would have brought these World Hiker mountaineering boots. My ace at Timberland informed me that these boots will be making a return later this year for the 40th anniversary of Timberland. This is great so I can keep a pair on ice as the ultimate deadstock.

Since I’m staying in the city I’ll be rocking the City boot.
