A Lil Bit Hip-Hop, A Lil Bit Rock ‘n’ Roll
By Kelly Devoto, Buffalo Exchange Santa Monica
I’m a lil bit hip-hop
I’m a lil bit punk rock ‘n’ roll
I’ve got Lil Debbie’s threads on my back
And Lil Wayne’s kicks on my soles.
I ride the streets of Venice
To “skate or die” is my goal
I’m a lil bit hip-hop
I’m a lil bit punk rock ‘n’ roll
Meet the lords and ladies of Dogtown; decked out in Trukfit, Crooks & Castles and other ’90s inspired street style.
The crashing waves in the distance and the rolling pavement under skateboards keep them down-to-earth, while the Chucks that came from Lil Wayne’s tour bus keeps the LA vibe alive.
This style is a mesh of old school skate culture, rich with punk rock roots, and hip-hop street style—funky and flashy. It’s the perfect combo for summer in Santa Monica!
