DUTTY WATA
Dec 9th
The first time I say Dutty Wata, I thought (well known jokester) Dutty Dex (Florida based DJ) was once again joking around. I laughed my ass off at the idea because it was funny as hell to see a water called Dutty Wata. (for all the American’s yankees the translation is Dirty Water).
The more I thought about the concept the more I loved it. My mind started thinking about the huge marketing campaign that could go behind this concept, that could get everyone hooked. I had to reach out to Dutty Dex personally to let him know I think he was really onto something here. He spoke about actually putting this into production. If all goes well everyone will be drinking Durtty Wata soon. lol Good luck Dutty Dex!
CHILLY O 6TH ANNIVERSARY
Dec 9th
If you are located in Atlanta you know exactly who Chilly O is, however for those have never heard of Chilly O here is a brief introduction. Chilly O is an Atlanta Based street wear brand that help to put Atlanta on the Map. Their clothing brand is eclectic and random. Chilly O doesn’t follow the trend they create their own lane and make their own rules.
I had to pass thru and represent for the team and show Chilly O some love on his 6th year Anniversary at the Pie Bar in Atlanta. Prince was in Virginia on vacation (probably ah chill wid sum katty) and Andre was unavailable (home watching a movie online). The love was felt by the huge turnout that came to support.

JAMAICA LOVE
Oct 29th
As I logged into facebook I was greeted with an image that instantly stopped me in my tracks and made me sit back in my chair and reflect for a quick minute (bumb*#$&wt) dis maddd. I can’t explain the feeling other than Jamaica Love (said best by dancehall artist Busy Signal with hit song entitled Jamaica Love). The internal Love for my country and anything that represents it. The image features a gold cup with our logo on one side and Igloo on the other side. This cup was a collaboration between RepJA & Igloo (Igloo is an event held in Hialeah, FL. presented by Dark Ent.).
I appreciate the message conveyed by the image. S/O to Carla Brown for tagging me on Facebook and bringing it to my attention.
