Ryan Leslie’s latest single “Ups & Downs”. This is him performing live in L.A. Watch as he explains why he’s the music business, and what the course of his life as a lyricist has been like. Leslie’s sure got the formula down for piecing together an autobiographical and musical masterpiece.

About Mishka Clothing: Music has always been part of the Mishka’s story: Co-owner and creative director Mikhail Bortnik had always had a knack forgraphic t-shirts since he found an involvement in skate graphics and band shirts as a kid. According to him, “There’s something about a t-shirt as this blank canvas that kind of conforms to the individual wearer,” Bortnik says. “Something about the aesthetic that appeals to me.” In 2003, Bortnik saved up around $20000 from his own pockets to begin a clothing company focused on fashioning t-shirts. Mishka has since grown into a powerhouse brand known for a potpourri of streetwear–t-shirts, jackets and outerwear, hats, bags.

Nowadays, celebrity icons like Fabolous and Jay-Z can be seen donning the Crooks and Castles clothing collections. Manny Pacquiao was once spotted wearing the Crooks t-shirt during his fight with Cotto.

Coming up next in our exclusive up close interview with the two founders and designers of Crack Artist streetwear clothing, Michael Ghattas and Dionte Noble. Check out the video interview trailer above, and stay tuned for the interview launch this week.

What’s the brand philosophy behind Crack Artist? Could it be drug related? No. However, it has everything to do with the addiction of art; the addiction to success and imparting others to do the same. To translate “crack” in the every day street vernacular is to define something as extravagant or extraordinary. Put “Crack” and “Artist” together, and you get a creative self-expanding individual who leads his own life to create something empowering and motivational for the masses.

According to Ghattas, “Crack Artist isn’t about being great just in art, but being great in all aspects of your life, while at the same time being unique and different.”

According to Noble, “If you like something, you should love it. If you love it, then you should be addicted to it.” That is where “The Addiction of Art” their tagline/slogan came about. It’s loving what you do. No matter of difference in your craft.
