Can you drop some names and any stories of people you’ve been working with? I’m glad that you began to speak about that because I know FLI PELICAN is getting more respect and love now since the cover, but you’ve been working with artists and celebs for awhile. Just to get it to this point that is one of my largest accomplishments to this date and that is just breathtaking. Wayne was a great placement, but we been working with so many artists since then and not even artists, athletes as well. I mean ever since then we’ve been getting great reception, it’s been so grand because we’ve been building the company for so long. He was trying to tell me what it looked like, but I seen it. The day that the call came, I was at Krystal’s in the drive-thru, and Lil Chuckee called me, like, ‘Ya’ll doing it big now, huh?’ I’m like, ‘What you talking bout, bruh?’ He was like, ‘Ya’ll out here on covers!’ I’m trying to figure out where it’s at because I haven’t seen it yet. So did you know he was going to wear the shirt for the cover, or did you just see the magazine cover online? That was early that we had come in and done all that stuff. Their company came in and bought in on it. Well actually what happened is they ended up licensing to someone else.

First time I went to Miami, we went to go meet homie at Hit Factory, and I was having a disagreement with my business partner in the cab on the way there going to Opa-locka.

Doing something like that alone, speaks more than me being on video sets for hours trying to get people to wear clothes, so we good! That’s one thing that I’ve been trying to stress to all of these artists that I have been doing work with. They just picked the clothes up and wore it. I kicked It with them and they liked the clothes genuinely it was nothing I had to push on them or anything. NINO: A few months ago, I went down to Miami to meet with.
