Districtnative Hoodies

Scenes familiar to all who've ventured on to the METRO. DC's legendary public transportation system that set the trend Back in The Day, but has seen much better times over the last several years. Regardless, the sound of the wind flowing through the tunnels, the muted lighting, the dense movement of sound during both non-Rush & Rush Hour. It all resonates in my mind like it was yesterday. Still home.

DC Natives KNOW! Go Hard or Go Home? Nah, Rough, Rugged, and Raw is how we get down.

Ay Youngin'! DC Natives know when you're clowning around or straight actin' a fool...YOU'RE LUNCHIN'! Act like you've got some sense. Sho You Right!

D.C. is THOROUGH! All day. ERRYDAY!

Wha'choo know about that Go-Go swing?! My playful treatment of a DC Go-Go CLASSIC! Hit that Go-Go beat and start the call & response. You know you know the lyrics. Sho You Right!

DC Natives the world OVER know the nickname The City was blessed with by an OH-SO Intergalactic Explorer Back in The Day! As the lingo drives home, it's not an occasional thing of possessing the state of mind of being a Washingtonian. It's an ALL DAY THANG! 24 /7 like SEVEN ELEVEN! Represent!

Sho You Riiiiiight! 3-word linguistic gold that ALL DC Natives can recognize and relate to. When you know what things are going good and they can't get no better, a fist-pump is good, but dropping "Sho You Right" drops the correct beat, and keeps the goodness of LIFE going.

"OH , YOU JONIN'!? Growing up in DC there's NO WAY you didn't hear these words! Some people (TRADITIONALLY) call it THE DOZENS; Up North they call it RANKIN'. But when you're talking trash about someone ( good or bad, Friend or Foe), once you start poppin' off at the mouth!? IT'S ON!! Sometimes in good fun. Sometimes not so much. If you're the recipient of harsh words or criticism, and you didn't participate? It's all good, because chances are, it'll happen again. Better learn them words, Youngin'!

Alternate take on DC Native logo. Rugged but legible.

Keep crankin' that GO-GO! When gentrification came to a DC neighborhood, the new residents felt the need to try and tamp down a local store's LEGENDARILY TRADITIONAL habit of playing local music into the streets. How dare they! CLEARLY, they don't know DC NATIVES, and they SHO NUFF didn't know what they were up against!
