  • Why I Purged My Sneaker Collection

    By Matt Welty, Russ Bengtson Verified| shorturl.at@ Getting rid of 100+ pairs was a daunting task, but it felt good in the end. You can’t take it all with you.

The producers who create these beats may not be as glamorous as the rappers who spit over them (at least, most of the time), but they are equally important.
