It's a family business. Went to Crooks & Castles yesterday and got to chop it up with Gee, Big Cuz, and Lucci (All cousins). Talked about how we all want to move back to the Philippines and how we love the mother land. Its nice to actually meet people our age and have the same outlook as we do. Gee also mentioned how Crooks was actually built around hip hop specifically music. Then it's only proper that they drop an album or two right? Well, according to Gee and Big Cuz, Alchemist (producer) just gave them 20 some odd instrumentals. Illmind, a Filipino producer from NJ (recently collaboed with Little Brother on The Get Back album) will also be cutting up a few beats for Crooks. Really something to watch out for so keep one eye open for that. Also, Crooks 8021 store recently celebrated their 1 year anniv. so congatulations again. Let me just say that I wouldn't mind conversing with Gee, Big Cuz, and Lucci once in a short while. It sure beats dealing with all the LA retail snobs around Melrose. Here are a few (only a few) images of the store so feast your eyes. You'll have to visit yourself to see the marble covering the whole store.
This is Big Cuz and Gee. Lucci was serving some customer at the moment
