BLKBND tells the story of the rise of the urban creative, the black alpha male, the young king.
The BLKBND is armed with the mindful shaping of personal image which has allowed him to create his own success.
The BLKBND (symbolized by a noticeable line) is the marked understanding between brothers, a society of men who share the weight of their history, the impact of their day-to-day choices, and the self-crafted profiles by which they navigate the world as agents of the black male identity.
Featuring 9 BLKBNDS: Earry Hall, Sam Adegoke, Sammi Rotibi, Mamady Condé, Charles Renfrow, Raalon Kennedy, Jamal Henderson, Nu Goteh, and Larry "Digital P" Ford. VIEW: BLKBND / THE PROFILES.
