Sure
Ropeadope puts out good music and the artist tour but what have
you done for me lately? Well I’m glad you asked. This is
where the positive philosophy about life and a mix of education
comes in. Ropeadope has come up with the constructive “New
Music Seminar” which brings Ropeadope and other forward
thinking artists to venues and classroom around the country. Spreading
the word of musicianship and holding sessions with future musicians,
music students.
Last but not least I can hear Words saying “Stand Strong
brotha!” A motto that has so many interpretations, all of
which could be powerful. This is the message he stands behind
when crafting the ever so popular, Ropeadope clothing line. Whatever
it is he’s got you covered: jackets, sweatshirts, hats,
and the fashionable respect and worldwide t-shirt series. The
clothing matches the message of strength and positively as some
of the faces and images that have appeared on the respect series
include Pele, Nina Simone, Fela, Gandhi and the historic Black
Power 1968 Mexico City Olympic photograph. The clothing line has
done so well that Ropeadope was commissioned to design the new
clothing line for Blue Note Records, which has done very well.
In addition to the Blue Note line, they were just hired by VERVE
records to design a line for them and help them relaunch the IMPULSE
label in early 2006 (including a Coltrane line); also hired by
GIANT STEP and ULTRA RECORDS to do new liens for them. PLUS the
freshest new Ropeadope fall line is in the works.
These guys are staying busy and doing it their way. Not holding
back and giving all they got. You gotta respect that. Stay Strong
Brothers!
