First President With A Shape-Up


        
So at the DN HQ, we, like many others put the grind on hold while we watched Bush and his gruesome squad of rejects take the back seat to our new leader. Rejuvenation filled inside everyone's eyes as we listened to our new president speak. Things are on the up and up not just for our nation, but for individuals who truly believe that their determination and focus can achieve them whatever they may dream of. Hard work pays off fellas. 

Start something, whatever it may be, see it through. This is a movement, and I can die happily knowing that I saw it through. 

After his speech, my co-founder and I dropped in at my man's shop right here in our hometown. Seein shit like this makes me feel liberated; we need more diy type of a mentality nowadays. People shouldn't be afraid of doing what they gotta do only because of the way things are.

Small biz to big biz, as long as you got that drive. Like my man Jeremy, young entrepreneur who's determined to keep that culture alive. Opened up Persona a few months ago and is continuing to grind. 

New joints keep poppin every time I walk in there. From Crooks to King Stampede. Get laced up with the freshest. Hopefully some sort of collabo in the future.
