@The Nigerian you are advertising Chicago as "Chiraq"? You are an embarrassment as a black man; you wanna market a black city based off of black stereotypes perpetuated by white capitalist racists? I'd spit on your fukk ass shirt if I saw it. Grow up and run a legitimate business without using degenerative symbols that line the pockets and mentalities of white hegemony. Weak-minded ass nikka

negged and one star.

The details, man, the details. Also, the quality of the material. These are printed on Next Level CVC. They're like the perfect fit, perfect drape, super soft. Plus the shirts don't fade in the wash, nor do they pill when they age.

I could have done this on cheap Gildan throw aways, but I'm dedicated to bringing quality goods... not a cheap money grab.


Just saw this post. The sleeve details are fyre. I don't think anyone else is doing it quite like how we're doing it.
should've been more dedicated with molly watr breh :mjpls:

Please give us more info the meaning of the logo and designs.
I wanted to make a brand that catered to the people that supported me the hardest with my last venture. People that are out here hustling for real. I'm also dedicated to providing stinging social commentary with everything that I produce. So I came up with Tax Free Income, the clothing brand and the media outlet.



Things are starting kinda slow, in large part because I'm still recovering from surgery and it's like... -10 degrees outside but we'll be picking things up as we move along. I've got writers on deck and I'm producing original video content. Mostly centered around nightlife, but we'll expand to more topics as we grow.



The goal with the media content is to have a voice that's intelligent, sexy, insightful, and not so... Williamsburg if you catch my drift. The fact that some gentrification outlet is up in my city... hell, ON MY BLOCK coming here and putting out this inaccurate/dramatized view of what's going on here is pretty repulsive to me.

Same thing goes for what's happening to our media/music. People who have no clue what's really good are telling us what's hot. Not a good look. We need to become masters of our own image. We need our own voice. Our own point of view.

I know y'all like to hate but I got a vision here. I've learned from my past mistakes. I've seen where I went wrong. I'm taking those lessons and applying them to this new project to make sure that this vision becomes clear enough and real enough for everyone to see.

I'm not feeling that either to be honest. It's his company but I found that in poor taste. I'm pretty sure most Chicago residents want to shake away that negative image associated with that term...why just add more fuel to the fire just for the sake of notoriety and just to sell some t-shirts? I was saying the same thing about that Vice doc and how it was just capitalizing off of negativity and sensationalism. Don't make "Chiraq" the new "Brooklyn"...that sends the wrong idea.

The local gentrification mag put this clickbait graphic out there the other day:

I don't like it one bit.

They just legalized CCW out here.

I don't like that either.

But it's reality. Harsh reality. That's my realm. I am that gadfly which God has attached to the state.


Whats up with the pig?
It's a piggy bank.

I personally wouldn't wear those shyts :scusthov: but I'm sure there's a market for them :ehh:

A lot of people don't make it with their first business ventures but that's where they get their most useful knowledge. Take the lessons from the successes and failures onto other projects if this doesn't work out for you.

I wish you luck and success breh.

Thanks, man.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole design thing. I'll upload what the reverse of these shirts looks like in a second.
The last one isn't too great. Try to avoid shorts with big text on it, people can get that shyt at Ross breh

You want to avoid this corny shyt.
