When it all gets written in the books, the convergence of skateboarding and Hip Hop did not did not begin with Lil’ Wayne and Supra Footwear.

He shredded the streets of all 5 boroughs and at the same time played an integral part in the development of the East Coast’s first true skateboarding-inspired lifestyle brand, Zoo York.
