How was Adeen / Adeen Magazine started? What motivated you to start Adeen / Adeen Magazine? Remy: Adeen was a word that my old crew “HLS” used to use. Like a made-up slang word. So it sounds cool pretty much haha. We started it as an online diary so people could watch what we were doing and how our minds change and progress as artists. Jovany: Well, Remy and I went to the same high school. I admired his style and vice-versa. They used to call me “Lil Remy” so it was only right! Adeen Magazine was made to keep up with us as we are a clothing line in the works.
What is the mission behind Adeen / Adeen Magazine? Remy: Adeen to me is to bring the fun back into fashion. Everyone takes it so seriously and seems like there are certain rules now to what you can and can’t do in fashion. That’s wack! To me it’s an art and a vision. People need to really stop and begin to have fun when creating instead of trying to be so “cool”. Jovany: The mission behind Adeen Magazine is to view the progression of Adeen as a clothing label and team of two. The mission statement behind Adeen is “Inspire before you expire!”
Where does the word “Adeen” come from and what does it mean? Remy: What Jovany said LOL. Jovany: Adeen is a word Remy made up LOL. You would substitute it for the word “OD”. Instead of saying, “That jacket is OD nice” you would say “That jacket is Adeen nice” LOL. It sounded cool to me so we just ran with it.
Here’s a clip of Grammy Award winning producer 9th Wonder, speaking on the importance of a cultural festival such as Manifesto and the love he’s got for Toronto. He even speaks on Mayor David Miller and why Toronto is the “hip-hop capital of the world”. Thanks Brock & rez.
In this part of G*FR‘s interview with Diggy Simmons, they touch on artists who begun their careers at an early age. One of the main artist Diggy spoke about was Lil Wayne. After, they briefly speak on the fashion side of things.
If you don’t know what “Diggy” Simmons did about a few days ago, you’ve been stuck under a rock. On Mar 11th, the now very famous, “Made you Look (Flow Stoopid) Freestyle” Music Video went Viral. It not only went viral, with 131,000 hits in 6 days it turn the internet on fire. In this clip, Diggy talks to Justin D Live & A.R. about how he made the Video, Song, and the overwhelming feedback.
