From Artist Q,This partnership means a lot to me because of what they stand for. They are all about helping other people show how they are masters of their skill. To me, it is something more than just having a partnership; it feels like a family that is here to help each other grow. I would love for this partnership to turn into my own brand of apparel under Mestre Empire. I’m talking about hats, t-shirts, button up, you name it. We are all on the same page so it’s all about grinding it out so we can all have the power to be the best.
