From the jump, notice how Mano rocks Ye’s LV sneaks while getting a cut- sacrilegious! Later towards the end (2:46), you notice those Versace shades he has on? Yeah, good luck finding them since they are vintage and are the same ones B.I.G. wore in the “Hypnotize” video.

Connoisseur tools: LV millie frames, check……rollie, check.

One’s steez gotta be on a hundred thousand in order to rock the SWAGGER x Nike Terminators…..on some mint chocolate steps.

I’d be doin’ the MJ pose too if I were voted one of my city’s best DJs……One of my favorite Transformers, Jazz, always said: “Do it with style or don’t bother doing it.” With “Londonish” braces and the LV Yeezys, it doesn’t get any more stylish.

This pic fused with the Takashi Murakami prints was used for Mano’s recent birthday party flyer….it doesn’t get any “flyer”….yeah, yeah, corny, I know!

He Say, She Say…..I say that’s a dope rider jacket.

YO it’s HOLLYWOOOOOOOD! It is almost impossible to understand how someone can be fresh at as many things as Chicago based artist Hollywood Holt. He’s a successful Emcee, dance floor rocking Dj, Break Dancer, pool shark, and business owner to name just a few. ( He also rocked one of our earliest parties in SF) Hollywood Holt has more irons in the fire than a Renaissance era blacksmith and he shuffles them all around with mastery. He’s also awesomely BLASSTED, living the supreme freedom of making his living off his creativity  and expressing himself in multiple mediums, even on the canvas of his skin. There are no limits to what home boy can do and whatever he does he’ll do it big and in style.  That’s why Hollywood Holt is the current  feature in the never ending lifestyle of the YUNG & BLASSTED. Stay tuned for more from 24kMilkCrate on Hollywood Holt in the next few days.
