Die Bundestagswahl ist vorbei – wir haben endlich wieder Zeit für andere Themen. Doch ein kurzer Blick auf den problematischen Umgang mit Medien im Wahlkampf und auf Donald Trump muss sein! Im News-Update geht es außerdem um den Hype um Karl Kani und das immer wiederkehrende Klischee der „faulen“ Gen Z. Aktuelle Studien zeigen, dass junge Menschen gar nicht so wenig arbeiten und in ihrer Produktivität den Älteren nicht nachstehen. Doch warum hält sich dieses Narrativ so hartnäckig, und welche wichtigen Themen werden dadurch verdrängt? Zum Schluss werfen wir noch einen Blick auf das steigende Staatsdefizit – trotz Rekordeinnahmen, Stichwort Generationenvertrag und Schuldenbremse. **Weitere Links: ** IAB-Studie: [Hier. ](https://www.iab-forum.de/generation-z-noch-ein-klischee-weniger/ ) Berechnung des Staatsdefizits, Statistisches Bundesamt: [Hier.](https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2025/02/PD25_070_813.html) Petition, Robert Habeck: [Hier.](https://weact.campact.de/petitions/offener-brief-an-robert-habeck)
For this week's episode, Nessa and producer Katrina B release a chat they had with music journalist and now author Sowmya Krishnamurthy on October 23, 2023, the voice behind the book “Fashion Killa- How Hip Hop Revolutionized High Fashion.” We dive into the challenges she faced, the hustle to get her book published, and how she's breaking down barriers in the Hip-Hop and literary worlds.

Plus, Sowmya shares her thoughts on Drake, why Lil Kim hasn't been on the cover of Vogue America, talks hip-hop's impact on fashion, Kanye West, the media's part in the East Coast/West Coast “beef”, and her own path from starting in a mailroom to making headlines.

Il parlait aussi, accessoirement, de chemises roses et de baggies Karl Kani...Depuis, Fuzati creuse son sillon.Toujours aussi masqué, toujours aussi cynique, toujours aussi fort dans l'écriture, il raconte ici, quelques semaines après la sortie de son quatrième album studio "Vanité", son style en marge des codes du rap.

Today’s episode is with TJ Walker, one of the co-founders of the pioneering streetwear brand, Cross Colours. Cross Colours blasted onto the urban fashion scene in the late 80’s, and their bright colors, loose silhouettes, and inspiring message, “Clothing Without Prejudice” presaged the launch of a string of urban streetwear brands like Karl Kani, FuBu, and Phat Farm. Cross Colours came to define the 90s, worn by every musical icon of the era like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Lil Kim, Mary J Blige, TLC, and most famously Will Smith while on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The brand has had a resurgence recently, especially after Bruno Mars and Cardi B wore Cross Colours during the 2018 Grammy Awards. In this episode we discuss TJ’s path from a farm in Mississippi to designing for one of the most profitable Black businesses of his time (2:34), how he actually got those clothes on Will Smith (16:30), why their slogan, “Clothing without Prejudice” still resonates 2 decades later (29:07), and a new initiative he’s started with costume designer Ruth Carter, who most recently won the Academy Award for her costume design for Marvel’s Black Panther(38:10).

RISE AND GRIND. You have to give yourself permission to follow your dreams. You might think, “People like me don’t don’t do that,” “I’m not ready,” or “There’s no way for e to succeed.” But no one is going to tell you that you can. You have to know that for yourself. It’s so important. Your belief in yourself is the difference between success and failure. That’s why, for this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with the creator of Fubu, Daymond John, where he shared how he realized that he could be a fashion designer. Daymond John is the star of one of my favorite shows, Shark Tank, and is a bestselling author with a new book called The Power of Broke. He’s a self-made multimillionaire with over $4 billion in global product sales. Daymond used to think that clothing was designed by old people in Italy who wore measuring tape around their neck. It wasn’t until he saw Karl Kani’s line that he realized that he could do it, too. Do you have self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back from pursuing your dreams? Learn how to make money doing something you’re passionate about (no matter where you come from) in Episode 744. In This Episode You Will Learn: Daymond’s age when he sold his first item of clothing (1:00) What gave Daymond his belief in himself (2:00) The story of the beginning of FUBU (3:00) About Daymond’s very first business (4:00)

This mix to sum it all up is like a time capsule of songs I was listening to in middle school and through high school. I truly believe the music back then was a lot better than what you hear now because artists back then still had their creative freedom. In the 90’s you can have your gangsta rap with Snoop and Dre but you can also have A Tribe Called Quest or Outkast. I made this mix a couple years ago but people still ask me for copies so i figured it’d be easier to just post it. So enjoy and reminisce about Cross Colors, Karl Kani, Patrick Ewing sneakers or whatever you wore in the 90’s.Suspended From The Old School Mixed by DJ Mike Rizzy for Kuya Tribe Productions
