Why does waka flocka wear green

A lot of people say hip-hop be dead — hip-hop is not dead. Do you really wear a diamond-encrusted Fozzie Bear chain? Who are your favorite rappers? Tupac is my favorite emcee. Tupac was a published poet. Do you consider yourself a poet? Does that resonate with you? You just threw me off. Do you listen to Jay-Z? Oh, yeah, I love Jay-Z music. Priding themselves on drawing inspiration from culture and community, SKRiT has plans for a brand collaboration with Coogi on the horizon for and will be available in a number of high-end boutiques and other retailers across the country.

With plans to release a new EP and more music in the coming months, has the makings of a watershed year for Waka. VIBE spoke with Waka Flocka about his role with SKRiT, the evolution of his fashion sense, finding purpose in farming, and his plans to recapture the magic that defined his music during the genesis of his career. What was it like being able to get back in front of a crowd after all this time? Waka Flocka: Well, being in front of this crowd, definitely after everyone was quarantined [was great].

That probably was like my 70th show since quarantine. That definitely was my third biggest one, it was like 5, people. The energy was crazy. I think the energy is even wilder, in a good way, because people are just so excited about the things that they took for granted, them happy moments. Now people are at these concerts enjoying their experience instead of the artists, if that even makes any sense.

I be watching the crowd when I perform. I pay attention to that shit heavy now. What are your thoughts on the mandates that have been passed down, both locally and nationally? So I just know my immune system is ready for war.

So whatever happens happens. How did you first discover SKRiT? I first got into SKRiT through a business partner. The designs is lit. I want premium streetwear. I start looking like Homer Simpson in these designer shirts.

Describe the extent of your involvement with SKRiT? Will you be hands-on with any of the designs? I just wanna see their vision before I try to put mines.

We go get cottages together and go build. They work hard, man. By Tashara Jones. No comment. Quarantine let me know how complacent I was.

Quarantine let me know how selfish I was. Quarantine is the first time in my life were I really discovered myself. It was beyond waking up late. I think if it took quarantine to get your hustle on, you got some reflecting to do on your own, and you got some forgiving to do with yourself to. This clothing line made me wake up and smell my flowers and not kiss my ass. My purpose is to save souls and save Earth. I know I sound like a nerd on some off-the-wall s—t.

Waka told us back in March of that his sex life with his wife in quarantine was great.
