Happy Holidays from your /CW Fam!
/Don’t be petty. - Management
Don’t be petty. - Management
This song makes me wanna grab my bike and ride around listening to music like in the movie Dope. This song definitely gives me 90’s vibes, which has been an trending aesthetic in music lately, and I’m all here for it.
Biggie’s voice coos in the background throughout the song; while Taiyamo Denku delivers powerful metaphors that represent strength and power from the mindset of a man.
Then we get to Sara Seashell, who is singing the hook of the song. Very smooth voice almost gives me Emily King-ish vibes. I love when mellow flows are used with strong lyrics, the contrast it creates is always just so damn cool.
Last but not least we have the powerful outro flow from the artist by the name of RamBunxious.His words voice power, unity, and the strength that we have as people. Whenever there’s talk of unity, my ears are always listening, plus I can’t help but not wanna play this song next time when my family has a cookout. The whole song just screams ‘good vibes only’, and I’m definitely watching for more from these guys in the future.
Once again, we love to see it.

“LET ME GET UHHH COVID TEST & A LARGE COKE.” - is just one of the culturally triggered lines in the verbiage and design for #TestUpMKE [ a creative campaign], that you have seen circulating. The original art created by MKE notable artist Vedale Hill, was created and curated to capture the “urban” community of MKE which includes Black & Brown people and the systemically disenfranchised.
The designs play on the identity and cultural cues that are imbedded into our everyday lives and our nostalgia. Whether that be the 90’s Solo cup colorway, the gas station/take out food “Thank You” bag or the gold ornamented grill of a Black Male icon. It’s there. It’s for us. It’s by US [no FUBU tho.]
As COVID-19 continues to dominate our lives we want to make sure that the knowledge that can help save our community is communicated through methods we already respect & dabble in: ART, FASHION, COMMUNITY & CULTURE.
Like these #TestUpMKE campaign T-shirts? Well you can be #SociallyResponsibe and fly by Pre-ordering your favorite design on our online store.

Covid-19 testing is a must to stop the spread. Check out this [creative campaign] for Test Up MKE, a Covid-19 testing, information, and support platform based in Milwaukee, WI.
Using creative means to get the word out to the URBAN, authentic, "minority" and creative community, we partnered in a collaboration that involved local artists, graphic designers, screen printers, photographers, models, journalists and health partners. [We used Covid-19 safety methods, because we are trying to liveeeeeeeee B!]
This campaign features t-shirt designs that include verbiage and imagery that not only reaffirms the importance of Covid-19 testing, but also pays homage to cultural cues, lifestyle and satire. With a graphic tee, a poppin' mask and of course a fresh pair of kicks, we can make being #SociallyResponsible fly!
Spread knowledge. Spread creativity. Stop the spread of Covid-19 by getting tested.
