Music is like our biggest export in this country right now. I feel like fashion and streeatwear is heading to the same direction

I think collaboration is so important. Teamwork is so important. Community is what Street Souk is built on. I was always able to be a vessel for other people

So I guess that's just Street Souk as well, is being the vessel and the gateway for all of these brands out of Nigeria, out of Africa, to explode to the world.

you guys still don't understand, but we're going to make you understand.

A place where you're just supposed to come to have fun and believe the things that you feel like you could only have seen on Instagram is possible for you as a kid in Africa, in Nigeria.

What people don't know about Nigerian streetwear culture is that there's so many different layers to it.

All streetwear brands are just skate brands anymore, or like traditional streetwear brands you know, hoodies and all that kind of stuff.

We have denim, brands, like brands that just focus on denim. 

Brands are emo punk as well. So we'll get into the subgenres of streetwear as well, which to me is pretty incredible, is showing growth of the streetwear industry as a whole and just the level of creativity in the city.

We are out here promoting courage and motivation to them African youths letting them know they can obtain any potential they set their mind to.

I feel like there's just so much to be done.

People always saying, there are a couple of us Nigerians in the London scene who've kind of taken over. 
Shout out to Mowa, shout out to Slawn.
There's so many more kids, with that level of drive, passion, creativity.
