SPEAKER_00

I mean you think girls are you have you have the shit is an inspiration to me.

SPEAKER_01

Lean into your leading to your leading to your inspirations. Um I mean you have you have the design capabilities that that match it too. Um tell me about that dress like that dream of like becoming like I'm just working from you just have a shirt on or your jacket on and had a no fans to now you got you got orders all all over the place.

SPEAKER_00

It's crazy. It's crazy that it just started with wanting to just put it on, you know? And I start creating the idea. A lot of brands don't come with a meaning. My brand has a real meaning. I got a meaning, you feel me? Chances make champions. I'm hustling out here every day doing the same thing that everybody else is doing, you know. We all trying to get right and get our money and uh work a job and kind of keep balance and you know a life that you know comes with a lot of ups and downs, you know? Taking care of family, the whole thing, you feel me?

SPEAKER_01

I feel that I feel that.

SPEAKER_00

So we're getting busy, bro.

SPEAKER_01

How do you come up with chances of being champions, bro? Because I know what the colors and the lines like.

SPEAKER_00

It just started with being at a young age, bro. Like my parents, you feel my parents divorced and shit like that, like no soft shit, but like that shit fucked me up, you know what I'm saying? After that, you know what I'm saying? It was just like we'll let, you know. I just went to go figure out everything on my damn self, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01

I thought, sorry, the the the microphone.

SPEAKER_00

So you know, realistically, bro, chances make champions, bro. I just I was always hustling, bro, and I just thought about what does it take to get to where you're gonna go? You gotta keep taking chances. And what happens after you take that one chance? How are you gonna be a champion? It's like a touchdown, bro, but it's a little bit more sophisticated.

SPEAKER_01

I fuck with that. That's that's fucking late.

SPEAKER_00

No cap. It's like a touchdown, but it's more sophisticated. Chances make champions, you gotta get busy, bro. I'm on a milestone, bro.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_00

Right now, this garment right now to everybody on the block. This is a champion garment, man. You grind it to get there. Yeah, where it is.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, but you have a person, you have a personality for a success. And like, I think that that's kind of what kind of makes your your clothing and your design uh uh like as as fun as it looks, you make it, you make it match that. Like seeing your design is what I'm looking at, like when I'm watching your page, like seeing your like your advertising and even when I've seen many around people on the street and seeing the clips. Yeah, uh, bro, just the way you and and bro, the way you put it on, like bro, like I I don't I don't wear fashy shit. I'm like, damn, nigga, I'm trying to do I really want maybe I do want to wear some jewels. Uh I think that like your personality also is really is really kind of like selling the idea of canceling being champions, bro. Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_00

Um that's kind of that's that's really fucking dope. That's that's what it is, bro. You know, and if you know me, bro, I'm just out here trying to like push a positive bar. I want all my people to win and be successful, you know. Like, it's a long life for all of us, you know? It's not about what anybody got, it's about what you're gonna get when you get to where you're going, you know. We're all working for something, okay, you know? So who I'm working to have everything to be set, you know?

SPEAKER_01

Who who all this chance to make champions for? Like, is this just so it's just just for the rappers? Is this just a street brand, or is like are you looking to do?

SPEAKER_00

No, I think it's for everybody.

SPEAKER_01

For everybody? Not really for everybody, but it's really tell tell people what you're like who who what makes you a champion, what makes you a champion or that that takes chances. Like, you know, people take chances all the time, but like what makes it fit into this club that you like that's really better.

SPEAKER_00

No, yeah, facts. It's crazy you say that because it's like really what resembles to think about where do you want to go? What are you gonna do to get to where you're going? You know what I'm saying? Like, you want to be successful, you want to have that, you know, comfortable life to where you don't have to think or stress about certain things, and you know, you're always gonna have stressful things in life, right? But there are some things that make your life a little bit more peaceful, you know? And to be able to have that is just a blessing. So, you know, that's what we're all working for, though, is for the peace and for the love and you know, the growth.

SPEAKER_01

I feel that. Okay, okay you know, I mean shit, that's I mean we finna get busy, you know?

SPEAKER_00

Chances make champions, we're gonna keep taking chances, you know? Like, and it's not necessarily just for a hustler or somebody that's you know taking risks. It's it can be for somebody that's literally taking a chance at their job and telling them, hey, I need a raise in my job or I'm gonna quit. You know you're that valuable, tell them. You're gonna get that raise. You feel me? Like that's lit. That's lit as fuck, it's no cap. If you're that valuable, you better tell them. You feel me? That's really what it means, though. You gotta just take a chance. Like, it's not really too sophisticated to who inquires what we're pushing. You know, all everybody takes it a little bit different, though. It's like saying, you know, where are you going? You know, somebody's going somewhere different, but they're all going somewhere. Yeah, I feel I like that. So it's like chances make champions. Who are you who's gonna take the right chance?

SPEAKER_01

That kind of goes, that kind of goes in line with like some of the messages that kind of float around my head like this week as uh my great aunt, uh rest in peace. Um, she used to say, uh, she used to tell me, uh, you are somebody. Um like it took me a little while to get that shit, you know. I'll just have oh kid what she was telling me. Yeah, but like, yeah, when I when it finally clicked, it was like, yeah, you are somebody. Like, and like even with your chances named champions, like the same shit, bro. Like it's it's so simple, but it means so much. It means crazy, and like it's easy to be be a part of like that kind of click, but also it's hard if at the same time it's hard to know you're a part of that part of a click.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, I think it's just about working. I think that's another thing, too. What to me it means is to just keep working, right? It's not really about being risky or you know, jeopardizing what you got going. No, I'm good. But it's like, you know, just keep working. Chance to make champions mean, just keep working, bro. Just keep going. It's not always gotta be such a risk. You feel me? Yeah, just keep going. You know what I'm saying? Every day's another chance to just keep yourself calm and just keep going.

SPEAKER_01

And you can just go get a mentality, bro. Like, where is this coming from?

SPEAKER_00

Man, bro, just knowing that I couldn't buy shit as a kid. Shit, now I could go buy shit. I like to get fly, so you feel me? That's what I do. I put on the slice clothes, and you know what I'm saying? I'm always wearing something icy when I walk about the house. Like, that's just regular. So that's what really brought me a clothing brand too. Was like, you feel me? I'm naturally into getting fly. You feel me?

SPEAKER_01

So you just just you lean into that shit, and so it just yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_00

Like, and then I'm out here doing collabs with people and shit. Like, you feel me? It's just bro, I feel it, bro.

SPEAKER_01

It brings it, like, especially like when you really when you really feel for your heart and like you uh like you. I do, bro. I do, I love everyone gravitates towards you, like they want to fuck with what you got on you.

SPEAKER_00

Which I heavily appreciate. I have a lot more growth to go, you feel me? But I really do. I feel the love in the city for sure, bro. Like, it's a blessing to think about I've gotten this far in just three years, you feel me? Like, and to think about what can happen in the next 60 days is crazy. I just gotta play it right. There's a lot to it, you feel me? I feel like you know, it's getting the right, it's like a puzzle, you feel me?

SPEAKER_01

What's it what's it like? What's it like dealing with the downtimes in that journey, bro?

SPEAKER_00

Man, it's I think it's just a love of the process. So dealing with the whole journey, it's like it's it's so much more than just thinking about the end project because you enjoying what's going on right now. The investment into figuring out the designs, figuring out how I'm gonna adjust the garment and adjust the size and and add the you know what I'm saying, add the ties and do certain things, you know, with the garment to really bring my own style.

SPEAKER_01

And create to create more. I mean shit, bro. That's that's smart. I mean, that's I was looking up artists use use their their down period time to create more enough. I thought they a lot of artists wait till they're till they're on to start being inspired. And like, I can tell, I can tell your downtime is created a lot of fucking a lot of fucking.

SPEAKER_00

Just keep going. You feel me? That's all I can say is just keep going. You got it, man. I got it. You feel me? We on the way. If you see this shit, you already see what's going on. You need to get you some before it's too late. This shit is gonna be everywhere. It's gonna be gone, it's already gone. But you feel me?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean, bro, I advise you to come.

SPEAKER_00

Chances like champions. Let's go. You feel me?

SPEAKER_01

So, like, what's what's what's next?
