Conspiracy
In the 50s and 60s the fastest way to weaken a labor union was to locate the smartest, most vocal organizer and promote him into management.
None of them could resist the pay increase.
Over dinner with K one night I wondered if this technique was by turning rappers into actors: Ice Tea, Ice Cube, DMX, Snoop, Tupac, Mos Def, Ludicris, RZA, Dr Dre, etc.
K: Well let's see, you find the strongest inciteful voices that have the attention of a certain group of people....yep.

New Breed
New Breed was a circa 1973 label. I found this in my warehouse today. Mod men's shirt, deadstock, factory folds still obvious, and check out that matching clip on tie. Pocket print matches the shirt. A rare glance back. Union made :)
