Good day world!!
Started my "gifted" reign in 2006. . . . But I'm an 80's baby.
Just a light joke at a bar. . . Then Kev took a thought and created a masterpiece!!
Became the new icon of Brooklyn and everything it stood for;
that "Brooklyn State of Mind" became a slogan for all who knew a struggle!
Went from being sold out of duffel bags in barbershops;
Being pushed out the trunk of cars. . . (remember the Jetta Larry?!)
Never been "just a t-shirt". . . . Always been so much more then that!
A Brand
A Movement
When Big Daddy Kane. . . then Jay-Z wrote the song "Young, Gifted and Black". . .
They were talking about me !!. . . (Yup. . . 2 versions had to be made)
I'm the one who made you decide on whether to "Dry-clean" or to "Regular Wash". . . a t-shirt!
Yup. . . Most of you paid $5 .50 just to dry-clean a t-shirt. . . Just to maintain my freshness.
You can catch me in the VIP section in the clubs. . . In the DJ booth. . . With the bottle girls. . .
Hanging out with the athletes. . . Chillen' with actors. . . In music videos. . . Performing at concerts worldwide. . . Featured in magazines. . . Even snagged me a model or 2 in the process !
(shout out to MoneyRuss for that)
. . . . . . . . . All at the same time!
I'm just that GIFTED. . . . Call me "The GIFTED One"
A lil' somethin' about me...
- The GIFTED One
- Just a t-shirt that's connected to every person in the globe! Whether you're a skateboarder, or a hip-hop head... Coming from an era where we live thru art in the form of expression and feeling. I'm the one that makes that connection!
