4.) What inspired you to make manifested this motion? And how is it being a clothing brand owner as well as a videographer?


”I started growing my hair out and truckers looked fly on my head. My homie Von and I sat down for multiple days going through hella ideas until we ultimately landed on MTMIUTBB. Initially my brand was clothing before cameras got involved. I’ve always have a passion for fashion. It’s hectic because it’s hard to coordinate professional looking drops amongst the chaos of my day to day.”


5.) How was it being on the Timberwolves floor Live. What kind of experience is it?


“Honestly crazy. Inches away from the players as they exit and enter the court. I’m good in any hood but that was a moment that kind of stood still. Getting to do it over and over again has been a blessing. Growing up playing 2k and nba street. Mf could have shed a tear. s/o Bub.”
