Every Statement Has a Cultural Source

Street Talk Designs is rooted in documented hip-hop and urban street language. OG Randy, born and raised in Brooklyn, spent years documenting the language of the culture in Street Talk: Da Official Guide To Hip-Hop and Urban Slanguage. Some designs use documented slang; others draw from the broader cultural territory of humor, family, faith, personality, and everyday expression.
