New York Crime Side

Roseland Ballroom, midtown Manhattan winter ‘94 or ‘95. Thirty, hunnit thousand dollar cars down the block, lined like punctuation marks in a sentence no one had written yet. Youth and wealth side by side, aware of the image, aware of its meaning. That night, I understood what 36 Chambers had started — and what Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… completed. The music and the imagery had merged into something larger: history, forming in real time. November 9, 1993 — a date that rewrote the rules. 36 Chambers turned sound into storytelling, slang into scripture, and fashion into philosophy. The BOBBYJOSEPH® New York Crime Side tee comes from that memory — from awe, observation, and the knowledge that style can be as revolutionary as sound.
