ABOVE THE BRIM … with BOBBITO GARCIA

Filed under: Interviews — Honcho at 6:29 pm on Wednesday, August 29, 2007

coolboblove_image.jpg

BOBBITO GARCIA is a cultural ambassador. This was the most appropriate title I could pen for a man of his diverse passions and accomplishments. Bobbito The Barber aka Make It Happen aka Boogie Bob aka Kool Bob Love, aka Soul Food Bob aka Bag of Tricks has held as many roles as he has monikers.

Long before your favorite Producer/Rapper was popping’ tags off of LV bags and sipping overpriced grape juice, Bobbito was in the mix of some of the most historical moments of Hip Hop and Sports. As co-host to the now legendary STRETCH AND BOBBITO Show (WKCR 89.9 FM), he introduced countless unsigned talent that would later go on to become music icons. The short list includes NASTY NAS, BIG-L, JAY-Z, BIG PUNISHER, and THE WU-TANG CLAN.

A New York native, Bobbito is an renowned streetballer, DJ, Radio host, writer, (VIBE), Executive Producer (FONDLE’EM RECORDS), ROCK STEADY CREW member, kicks connoisseur, Master of Ceremony, Shop Proprietor (FOOTWORK), Editor (BOUNCE MAGAZINE) and feature film actor.

Kool Bob Love gave STRICTLY FITTEDS a hot minute to discuss his perspective on the roots and phenomena of the fitted cap culture. Peep his insight and “HEED THE WORD OF THE BROTHER”.
