JIM JONES: SWAG SPLASHIN WITH NOSTIC

Jim Jones, a record label owner, top notch rapper, member of Dipset, with a rock star swag under his belt, can now add fashion label owner to his resume. Recently he has released the "Nostic" clothing line. Founded and created by Jones and his family (mainly his mother, Mama Jones). The mogul is truely swag splashin (Swag Personifies Lavish Arrogance Sheik Hustlers) on all the other musician founded clothing lines. The apparel has a definite rock star feel, which incorporates complex Gothic and religious graphics. The official website, www.nosticapparel.com, claims that the clothes are much more than tees and jeans. NOSTIC On the home page there is a definition of Gnostic as an adjective meaning, relating to knowledge, especially knowledge of spiritual truths. According to the website the clothing line's basic purpose is to capture the revolution of mind and style, allowing individuals to be uniquely themselves. Which is a great representation of swag, finding a 100% genuine and unique style and portraying it 24/7. The clothing in my opinion is a well needed taste of the rock star style without the huge price tag. But these aren't Walmart prices either, the shirts can be anywhere from $50 and up depending on where you purchase them from, and fans of Dipset/the rocker swag can also get excited that Nostic has much more than just tees. From jeans, hoodies, to hats the Jones' family has made sure anyone can be fresh from head to toe with the brand. The only thing I feel Nostic is missing is a line of sneakers, but hey air force ones never mismatch a new pair of jeans. You can find the clothing in brand name urban stores such as Dr. Jays, Demo, Against All odds, and etc.

HATE IT OR LOVE IT & GOD BLESS

Ahem...Thanks for the Introduction

Welcome to the first ever post of SWAGG*SOLDIERS! Before anyone turns their cheek due to the site's label of being a "blog". This isn't a typical blog. The site will not be focused upon the negative but the positive. Yes, one of the few hater FREE places on the net. SWAGG*SOLDIER'S number one topic on the brain is SWAG! And this includes everything from fashion, celebrities, hot new technology, art from time to time, music and everyday people who breathe their SWAG.
Now I understand there is alot of hype surrounding the word "swag", but I believe people are misinterpreting this word on the daily. So for this blog, for this writer swag is:
A person's demeanor, their ability to go hard at what they do, fashion sense, their thoughts and point of view. Every component of a person from their head to their sneaks (or stilettos) makes up their swag. Everyone has their own swag, yet few follow their own beat, their own swag until they collapse, making them a SWAGG*SOLDIER!

So keep close and expect a new post every 3 days or so.
HATE IT OR LOVE IT & GOD BLESS.
