Jae Tips and A$AP Illz are two Bronx cats making rounds in the fashion industry right now. Bloody Dior and Bloody Osiris are killing shit right now, they from Harlem.

Fordham Rd for me was 70s & 80s. Great area for shopping and a nice balance of diversity amongst the people. Three movie theaters, numerous clothing stores, Alexander's, Crazy Eddie, Sears, Modell's sporting goods, eateries, hot dog carts lol Not gonna lie but, if I were still there, I'd probably clothesline those disrespectful idiots riding motor bikes on the sidewalks.

The country and woods is great but if you have interests more than rural things, NYC area is the best place in America. For example if you’re into museums, concerts, insane selection of foods around the world, attending multiple sports events, all kinds of live entertainment, cultural events, etc…..it beats the south hands down. You can still live in a suburb about an hour or 2 away too. You don’t have to live in the city too.

Really glad I come across this channel, the bronx is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go , as a kid growing up in Liverpool, i used to watch images and it just reminded me of what we was going through at the time , poor housing, no career opportunities, dereliction, kids playing on burnt out cars everyone struggling , all my influences too come from the bronx ( New York) but all the positive stuff, early hip hop talked about the struggles and sent messages to warn us of the dangers of going down dark paths , the fashion and of course Breakdancing, again designed to prevent gangs fighting each other and all the other sub cultures that come from it ( graffiti murals the best ) but both sets of people from the Bronx and Liverpool strong and resilient onwards and upwards , god bless the Bronx 🙏🏻❤️❤️

Soon as my wife and I found out we were about to have a baby we got out and headed straight for the suburbs. Do I miss the city? Sure. There's no place like NYC. Especially my beloved Brooklyn. But it's not like it was in the 80s and 90s when we had morals. Now it's a zoo. And no place to raise a family.
