Black Sheep NC shop tees.
Shout out to one of the South’s premier skate shops, Black Sheep of Charlotte, North Carolina, for releasing some pretty dope shop tees. Pictured above is my favorite of the four entitled “Sheep dissection” (for obvious reasons), a piece created by artist Matt Turner. Visit Black Sheep’s store if you happen to be in the...
Gucci Mane is smarter than you: Soulja Boy edition.
This is why I love this kid. Is he the best rapper alive, heck no! But he makes your favorite rapper look mad lazy by comparison. DeAndre Way will be turning 20 on July 28th and he’s having a huge blow out party. Understanding that the majority of his fans won’t be able to attend...
ATTN: Spread love, that's the Southern way.
Although I do not know what the future holds for this website, I do know that ever since I’ve started this thing WAAAAY back in November of last year I’ve been fortunate enough to meet with and speak to other Southerners that are as passionate about the streetwear culture as I am. I had a...
Fly Times has Diamond Supply Company.
Mobile, Alabama boutique Fly Times Boutique just released some pictures of some new Diamond Supply Company tees they have in stock.

That hasn’t always been the case–being EXTRA pro-South in my approach to all things (especially fashion) made it easy for me to dismiss the lower...
Get the monkey off your back.
This time I write about getting the monkey off your back in relation to beating the heat. READ: Get the monkey off your back.
Music: Soulja Boy – "Digital".
I know a lot of yall aren’t really feeling Soulja Boy (*cough* Infamous P) like that but listen to this track and tell me you don’t have a bit more of respect for buddy. Is it the best verse ever? No. But it’s more than serviceable and much better than what he has been giving us, so...
Oh snap: Esperanza sure knows how to LOAF creatively.
I admire independent brands that “get it” and Atlanta’s Esperanza seems to be one of those companies. ESP-ATL recently released two limited edition tee shirt designs to coincide with Creative Loafing of Atlanta’s new website design overhaul. On the surface it just looks like a run of the mill collaboration, but to me, I saw an independent...
