Kid Frost, Nuff Said

Recently linked up with an old freind of mine Yung Jay Tha Prez and he put me on to his new project Hood Thug Muzik, Tha Campaign Vol.1 Mixtape, not only was it good to hear from my boy, It was a breath of fresh WestCoast air. The Campaign Vol.1 Mixtape is laced with funky westcoast melodys  (Money by the Ton) and a homebred flow that you can only get from life in the IE. Good to hear real westcoast music,  the mixtape hosts  a number of songs that bring you back to that 1990′s gangster rap era, as well puts a killer twist on some of todays hits. Check out Hood Thug Muzik

jeezus this one brings back so much memories

Flash Back Friday is Back.

So its been over a year already how time fly’s when your having fun.
Well First I would like to thank all of you who have been showing support to the brand and I appreciate it more than you know, if it weren’t for you this wouldn’t even be possible, you are the driving force behind the label. So once again thank you.

If you all would like to know whats been up, here we go, I recently released two spring summer tees that are up for grabs now all fall is gone and there will be no more reprints so if you got one know that you got a rare first edition Crookid9 tee, one time pressing. I hope to keep that type of thing going, I know I like having rare shit so I think the idea is really cool. On the other hand I will stock all logo tees, except for the special color ways and colab pieces those will be up for grabs to the early birds, ( stay tuned to the blog ) I will also stop producing per season because Crookid9 is a small brand its difficult to keep up with the seasons and the big league-rs, instead I will be producing products in sets twice yearly, in a perfect world i see the release dates being October and May just in time to hit the two major seasons October introducing our Winter stuff and May bringing our summer game. So that’s that in a nut shell.

Now for what we have in store as far as products go ehhhh you will have to wait for that no spoilers yet, although I can tell you that I do see snap backs in our near future.

So thats that as for everything else its business as usual orders shipping
designs in progress, line sheets in the works and plenty of coffee running through my veins. Until next time, keep it Crookid.

There needs to be more artists like this.
