Hello AFRO-GRIME,
It’s your man chuwku here, check Out Afrikanboy’s new freestyle! (Check him on M.i.A’s album, KALA and the paper planes Video/remix with rye rye)
funny how we could never understand the master's double-talk, but then again, we create all sorts of ways of prohibiting the masters and their minions from understanding us. Up until the machetes slit their throats, up until the torches burned their plantations, up until port-au-prince, chicago, salvador, benton harbor, watts, detroit, havana, luanda, or oakland, or recently paris in 2005; they still couldn't understand the creole we speak. Our culture is our weapon, so sharpen your tongues, sharpen your machetes. Our culture is maroonage, and maroonage is our culture.
21MC (21st Century Maroon Colony) is a NY/SEA/SF based conceptual streetwear and design collective representing the Afro-Triangle.
1. Live from Afro-Triangle, 21MC's purpose is to provide Tropical Wear garments to the urban Maroon Colonies of the 21st century. The patterns, rhythms, textures, and colors of Africa and Her diaspora, passed on to us by our ancestors, inform the way we create our collections and the way we wear ourselves on the streets. Each collection 21MC creates, tells of our rebellions on the plantations, and our survival in the cities of the beast (the "1st" World).
