When Bermudan reggae crossover artist Collin Harper, aka Collie Buddz, came to New York to perform at Rice and Peas, we knew we had to get something exclusive with him, and it had to be dope. We decided with some fresh threads, Collie would make for a great fashion shoot. We hit up stylist Carolyn Castro who pulled some seriously fly gear from Nike Sportswear, Boundless, Carrera and some other brands, and took Collie around Chinatown for some gritty, authentically downtown backdrops plus some shots at Santos Party House, where he had just sound-checked for the big show.

Mr. Harper was super cool and gave Carolyn and Largeup’s own Martei Korley total creative control, he was humble and cooperative about the shoot and we have the pics and flicks to prove it!
