LUXURY STREET MUSIC

Hip Hop and fashion are the major
elements of Hip Hop culture. Rappers
have carried the torch for this culture
through fashion; and magazines like, XXL
and The Source, have documented it.
The Hip Hop community has always
been known for its representation of
fashion. Many of us are fans of some
great Hip Hop artists and even follow
them on social media. Luxury Street
Music magazine plans on bringing you
our own insight and ideas as well.

INTERVIEW

LSM Interviewer:
"Where are you from?"
Bandobandz:
"Tre 4 also known as Winston Salem, North
Carolina. I was born and raised to be the one to
do that for us and I hope to be the one to do
that for us and shed light on all the talented
individuals in North Carolina."
LSM Interviewer:
"What are some of your goals?"
Bandobandz:
"Everyone wants to be rich for their family,
that's common. But to be more specific my
goals as an artist is to generate revenue off of
my talent. Whether that's music, acting, song
writing, etc. The plan is to not work 9 to 5 and
to get paid for your talent; it is a goal and
dream but very achievable. My favorite saying
is "Hard work can outshine talent." So keep
working!"
LSM Interviewer:
"What motivates you?"
Bandobandz:
"What motivates me is waking up. As long as
my eyes open back up in the morning, I know I
have another chance to work at it and get it
right. The trend setters and innovators
motivate me to set the bar and make progress
for the newcomers."
LSM Interviewer:
"What are your plans for the future?"
Bandobandz:
"I have a lot of Eps coming stay tuned."

8 years ago I started doing photography and
videography, and would travel all around. Even got a
Ceaser from black ink photographer now. I got sick
last year from sickle cell and I wanted to give up and
quit. Finally got better but I couldn't travel as much
because the weather would throw me back into a
sickle cell crisis . So I started my clothing line
#05Apparel , never giving up and having faith . I
incorporated dreads into the logo because I have
very long locs , locs for me stand for no fear. People
call me 05,
