Lo-life was a black gang movement in New York in the late 80s and early 90s. Just as Britain’s football casuals adopted Lacoste as a uniform, it was an aspirational working-class and criminal appropriation of conspicuously upper-class sportswear. Lo-life gets its name from Ralph Lauren’s Polo brand. It’s Ralph’s cheaper diffusion label, and also makes gear for rich-people activities like sailing and skiing. An original lo-life kid Rack-Lo organises get togethers for fans of Polo’s early 90s colourful, graphic peak, and is considered the authority on lo-life style. (via Vice magazine)

We’re in the Dazed n Confused May issue. Diplo makes us blush like little cherries w/ his introduction:

These girls are super rad. I love the way they twisting internet memes into their own pallette. When most artists are just playing around with trends, mesmorized by today’s internet wasteland, they act like the old shamans that lived in these deserts for centuries. They have a definite vision of whats to come: Technocolored clarity.
