Amidst the events at the recent 2012 AGENDA Long Beach trade show, HBTV was able to catch up with a range of designers, artists and brand builders that were in attendance. Taking a decidedly different interview approach, we focused in on broad range of topics firing off open-ended subjects to each interviewee and seeing what first came to mind.

In our latest feature, HBTV takes some time out with Rick Klotz of Warriors of Radness and most notably streetwear favorite, Freshjive. A man who is never shy to voice his seasoned opinion, Klotz has been one of the leading innovators in the development of street fashion over the past three decades.The short video captures the enterprising designer discussing Malcolm X’s teachings as an inspiration for his forthcoming seasons, the real Rick Ross and their friendship, war, God and the political system.

Director: David Gallardo
