    In this clip, Thirstin Howl III opened up about starting his Lo Life clothing brand, and inspiring Ralph Lauren to bring back the "Snow Beach" line after he dropped his book, "Bury Me with the Lo On." Speaking more about Ralph Lauren, Thirstin detailed the surreal moment of Ralph asking him to model the new line during the 2018 Snow Beach launch. Thirstin also spoke about Raekwon making the Snow Beach line popular while wearing it in Wu-Tang's "Can It Be All So Simple" music video. While speaking about Wu-Tang, Thirstin detailed his friendship with ODB, and he also shared his craziest ODB story, which you can hear in full above.

    The Wu Tang series needs to do like Power and give some of the members their own spin off. Call it the Dirt McGirt chronicles or something. Cause just based on the number of members in the clan they don't have time to go deeper into his story but he was the most intriguing one.

    My favorite Master Fuol joint WITHOUT Victor is the one he did with Wu Syndicate “From the grips”. Check out anything with PF Cuttin’ on production and the one track with Fi-Lo “The Ridiculous”. I have every vinyl Thirstin has ever released from back in the “I still live with my mom” days.

    Man I remember the Lo Lifes. I just came to America from Jamaica in the 80's and seeing street gangs like Deceps, BMW, and Lo Lifes. I remember my boy Mel-Lo and his whole block being Lo. Shit was so different back then. It was like people realized they were poor and banded together not create gangs to kill each other over dumb shit. Dudes went boosting, not robbing and killing each other. They robbed the rich who still didn't take a loss at the end of the day bcuz they were insured.
