I Quit My Job at Penn Station on 4/20/16. My first time going to Las Vegas was in 2013. I had made money from a fashion show we put together for the brand, I ordered my ticket the day after the party.. I went down there in search of connects and praying that I would learn something new about the fashion business, because I had heard of a trade show called "Magic" and it was the same week I was there. "Man look at the palm Trees" was the first thing I said when I was riding on the highway looking at the trees, on the outside of the premiums.. This was the first time in my life I had seen palm trees, and I instantly started writing music, I was motivated by everything I was seeing. I had a suitcase full of OG RaRe T shirts and Hoodies I had made specifically for this Trip.. Now that I think about, I had the "RaRe USA" Tee complimenting the Olympic 7's, the "Floral RaRe" T complimenting the electric blue foams, "Floral RaRe X Loyalty" T that complimented the Bordeaux 7's... Etc Etc, the rest was OG solid colors. "Weed" Once I made it to the crib we would be staying at for the next 6 days, you know I was on the search for some herbs, but it was just my luck, that smitty was the tree man, and had hit me with like 9 grams for 45$ and it was some Cali OG. Man lets just say I didn't want to do anything but design, smoke, and read.. People kept trying to get me out the house and hit the strip, hit the west side, hit Fremont etc, but I was already happy with what I was doing.. "Business" My first time seeing Delano Browns work, and meeting his agent Berlin was love, I was introduced to them by a guy named Eason or "Slutsloveme" if you search em on Twitter. we had linked months prior to me randomly going to Vegas and he so happen to had been out there for a month already. I smoked some weed with the guys and just listened to what they were saying, getting pointers on different marketing approaches, and connects on legit manufacturers.. (I was lowkey embarrassed of my quality.. Which was one of the reasons I had stopped doing OG RaRe.) At the time my quality wasn't everything, but these guys didn't care, they appreciated my story, and that's when I realized, that damn.. I got a story.. Keep in mind that soon as I left those guys that night, things got real for them, I started seeing Delano's work everywhere, First it was fabulous, then Chris brown, future, ASAP rocky, and more.. That was pure motivation, to even be in contact with guys on a level like this.. But by this time I was back in East St Louis trying to figure it all out, because one of things I took from those guys after I left Vegas was "Keep Working, you gone get it and yo time coming" I Know God is directing me because, at the time, I was on intense probation and wasn't even suppose to be 100 miles outside of my county, and I had just quit my job at the restaurant I was with, for our fashion show, the same show that payed for my trip going to Vegas, and look what happen, I look at it like , what if I was still working that job, what if I never believed in myself enough to take the risk of working for myself versus a corparation, what if I played it safe.. Well I didn't.. I quit my job at penn station on 4/20/16 i had put my 2 weeks notice in 3 weeks ago.. They just didnt wanna let me go. But I bought a one way to Las Vegas.. ✌🏾️
