a friend and peer from my years in montreal, i have been watching the meteoric rise of my homie A.M. aka Marcus Troy since his first forays into blogging and expressing his personal opinion in a public forum.

he and i used to have our friday sessions at the shop in montreal, just bouncing ideas back and forth and shooting the breeze about things we were passionate about: music, technical outerwear, design, sneakers(obviously), beautiful women, community, street art, online networks, communication, heritage, travel, etc.

now he has a nike-sponsored platform to give others a chance to share their story and express their individuality. i took the time to write mine, i think you should too. if you read this blog regularly, you’re already a maverick because neither Kaeweezy or myself fit inside a box. we are truly mavericks in our own rite.

hit this link to see what i’m referring to, or he’ll show up and make a grumpy face at your birthday dinner too.

Cratery #21

This month, the Cratery crew decided to embark on a journey to Montreal for the f*ck of it. Heat was copped, food was eaten and in less than 12 hours later we were back on the road. I can say from the bottom of my heart that I love that city.The city is great beyond measure and every time I go I have immense fun. This visit was no exception. Shouts to Arcee and Serious and the various vinyl vendors that made this trip both fun and worthwhile. We owe this edition of Cratery to y’all…

enjoy.

it’s the thrill of the fight
risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
and the last known survivor
stalks his prey in the night
and he’s watching us all with the eye
of the tiger
