The Slang Academy

The Slang Academy is the cultural authority and knowledge hub of Street Talk Designs. It is rooted in OG Randy's Street Talk: Da Official Guide To Hip-Hop and Urban Slanguage, a 700-page reference documenting more than 10,000 entries of hip-hop and urban street vernacular. That documented work provides the brand's cultural foundation, while Street Talk Designs also includes original statements, humor, family sayings, faith, personality, motivation, and newer cultural expressions that are not presented as dictionary entries.

Use The Slang Academy to explore the cultural territories behind Street Talk Designs. Each hub organizes a distinct theme, audience, mood, or expression. For products based on actual documented slang terms and definitions, visit the Definitions hub.
