Justin Kennedy Interview(LA Native)

By
We recently sat down with the owner and creator of LA Native and how he started as a company and what he has coming for you guys in the future




Who are you and what are you all about?
-I’m Justin Kennedy. I’m a 16 year old clothing designer/owner.
Where are you originally from?
-I’m from Los Angeles, California. Born and raised.
How was LA Native created?
-I always wanted to send a positive message and set a trend for teens in urban neighborhoods. As a native of Los Angeles, I wanted to show everyone who grew up with a similar lifestyle as me, that you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it.
What type of fashion do you like?
-I like urban/streetwear fashion. I like trendy clothes as well, but I like wearing underrated clothing lines and help support.
What clothing lines do you look up to?
-Bape, Diamond , supreme and Nike.  All set their own type of trends and made it to the top. That’s exactly what I want to do.
Who motivates you?
-Honestly my family and success motivated me. I want to be able to support everyone. My mom, sister and friends have all been by my side and helped me since day 1.
How long have you worked as a designer?
-I’ve worked since 2010, drawing designs for others, until I started drawing my own designs.
What are some of your favorite clothing stores/catalogs/websites?
-Bape, Supreme, Diamond and Nike.
What do you believe makes a quality article of clothing?
-The time and effort put into the clothing is what makes the quality. Anyone can put a simple design on a shirt or jacket, but taking the time to make that design really shows if you’re dedicated to making fashion statements.
Do you prefer sketching designs or actually constructing them?
-I say both. I actually draw and construct my own designs , so both of them are similar to me.
How do you feel about celebrities getting all the free goodies when they are the people who can afford the goodies?
-It has it’s ups and downs, but the publicity is nice. If they can get more people to and look us up on the web and find out about us, it’s nice.
What is your favorite piece of clothing you have dropped?
-My first few drops with cheetah pockets on my jackets and baseball tess were very trendy and dope and they sold out in less than a week. I can say the next drop may be my favorite coming up soon.
Do you have anything new coming to the people in the next few months?
-I have a very nice drop coming real soon for everyone, and this week I will be releasing the galaxy tees which are very nice.
Any last words of the people?
-Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6 .- You can do anything if you put your mind to it. #nlative . #onlythenativesurvive2012

Ten Underrated Nate Dogg Choruses

By
1. The Streets Featured Artist | WC Album | Ghetto Heisman Year 2002 Nate Dogg, like a lot of songs he sings on, makes the song. The beat from Scott Storch, sounds like a 2001 leftover and creates WC's biggest hit as a solo artist. Not too many outside of LA will remember this one. 2. Look At My Eyes Featured Artist | Obie Trice Album | Cheers Year 2003 Cheers is the most underrated Hip-Hop albums of all time. Slept on as it came out the same year on the same label 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Cheers is the best album to come out of the Shady-Aftermath factory not named 50 Cent or Eminem, and that includes all members of G-Unit and D12. Look At My Eyes, produced by Dr. Dre at the tale-end of Dr. Dre producing like Dr. Dre, is one of the last Nate Dogg/Dr. Dre combos we will ever see, and just as always, it doesn't miss. 3.

Lil Trap House and The Community

By
My family and I have visited the Trap Music Museum many times because my wife is from Atlanta.  We reside in Los Angeles, CA and I'm a local business owner in the city. This past weekend, my wife, my kids, and I decided to go to Atlanta to visit my wife's family.  Once we got down there we decided to go to the Trap Music Museum because that's one of our favorite museums to visit when we’re in town so of course we had to go check it out for ourselves.  My wife and I are big fans of TI. When we went to the museum, the first thing you saw was a 2Chainz installation of his pink trap house. When you go further into the museum they give you a brief history of how Trap Music was created and the symbolism behind it.  You also get to see the different awards TI has one over his rap career. While viewing the museum I saw a poster that illustrated that TI was opening up a permanent museum for the Lil Trap House that was originally a pop-up. We got a chance to vi...
