Sunday’s Best
I always think it’s dope shining light on black folk in the fashion industry. Courtney Mays has been a top stylist for years now and Chris Paul’s personal stylist. One of many stylist taking the NBA by storm. Ten years ago what NBA players wore to their games and press conferences were atrocious, now it’s big business.
Consistency!
My biggest focus right now is staying consistent. Choosing to do the same routine and building a lifestyle around working hard for my goals and business. This past month has been nothing but consistency!
10 years, 10 ten toes down!
Today is one of my oldest and closest friends Birthday’s. My good man Terrance turns 31 today! We went from going to Middle school together and then College at Morgan as well. Every single week was a lituation and we really ran the streets doing whatever we wanted.
Queen and Slim
So, I finally went and saw Queen and Slim last night and it really didn’t disappoint as some critics said it wasn’t as good as it was boasted to be. I thoroughly enjoyed the many cultural and detailed Black nuances throughout the movie and how they captured the black community as a whole from one side of the spectrum to the other. How we eat, talk, walk, feel, and communicate with one another was put on display in a very detailed yet subtle way that it wasn’t just a “black” film, but it was, and one of hope and resilience.
GoonMilkTV vol.14 GANG Ties
Xmas for the past atleast 6 years has been lit thanks to my bro bday kickbacks! The Gang pulls up to HQ, we gather around the fire and just enjoy another year of friends, family, and good times. Fogues Bday/Xmas eve kickback is tradition, even though half the gang is in Cali now and he’s probably only in town a week I knew I wasn’t missing seeing my guys this year.
What’s on your Xmas List?
I treated myself to a few things this Christmas; new apple AirPods, the Banksy Captured book, got my hair done, and booked a tattoo appointment. It’s lit, I even knocked all my gifts for everyone else out early, wrapped them and placed everything under the tree.
Happy Birthday Nana!
Outside of immediate family most don’t know how close me and my great grandmother were. From the time I was born til January 6th 2001, when she passed at the age of 91 years old she was there everyday and she remains by my side.
Keeping the Same Energy
After a month of focusing on my own personal growth and solitude from social media, friends, and distractions I have found peace and a certain calmness in not bothering people and not letting them bother me. I’ve become more consistent with my business and clientele as well as crushing personal goals in just a month’s time that I thought were farfetched and unattainable.
Time to Grow
I stumbled upon this gem of a band, Free Nationals last week and have been playing their debut self titled album ever since. If you’re not hip they are Anderson.Paak’s band I suggest you download the vibe as soon as possible.

Infomercials
Getting thru the daily bullshit can be a task and I often find myself looking thru old video clips to find inspiration. Clips I relate to, clips I think could help others, and just clips that speak to me personally.
The World Chico and Everything in it…
Throwback Thursday!
Around this time in 2016 I was transitioning from working together with Black on Enspire Streetwear, and rebranding GoonMilk for myself.
Man's Best Friend
Rocky is the funniest and laziest dog Ive ever met, he spends most of his day sleep on my bedroom couch and barking at whoever comes near the front door, a fake watch dog if you will.
G.O.O.N.S. Dont Die, We Multiply
Tomorrow the second Cartoon Capsule collection will release. An ode to one of my favorite movies as a kid, “Bebe’s Kids”. Putting a spin on the movie’s motto “We Bebe’s Kids we don’t die, we multiply” and using hand drawn characters by my bro Mike Mike he did for me a few years ago.
Word of the Day
Eudaimonia - Greek word translates to happiness or welfare; however; “Human flourishing or prosperity” and “blessedness” have been proposed as more accurate translations. “The Highest Good” as explained by Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics.
3rd Annual Zelf on the Shelf!
Extremely proud of my cuzzo Azel Prather Jr., he’s hosting his third annual “Zelf on a Shelf” this Friday along with a self care day for his KIPP students where Barbers, Beauticians, and nail techs are coming into the school to give the kids makeovers for christmas! Last year he raised enough money through social media to get gifts for 340 students at his school. Surpassing the 26 kids he actually teaches. Zel was also featured on channel 9 News this passed weekend giving him even more of a spotlight for his The Prather Foundation and what he does everyday for those kids.
Ugly Xmas Sweater SZN
Yesterday I had the pleasure of creating a Ugly Sweater for my Good men Nick and Hoffa of Stamped Mob. They throw lit ass functions every month so I usually get to print customs for them all the time. This instance was just hilarious because on one hand I have creative free will to create for Nick, and on the other I got Hoffa getting me to create possibly the funniest ugly sweater I’ve ever seen! Ill let you guys be the judge of that though.
