It seems that musicians everywhere are creating their own clothing lines, however its not that often that they time its release with a corresponding mixtape and photograph the editorial themselves like 'Team Cozy' did.
Made up from the talents of producers 'Ta-ku' and 'Bludshot,' Team Cozy's styles are framed around what its name implies. Included in the Summer 2016 release are a variety of baseball caps and graphic t-shirts, which sport dark and minimalist branding which speaks to the aesthetic that Ta-ku is known to often generate in his work -- be it musical or visual.
The corresponding mixtape was created by 'The Whooligan' just to commemorate the release, celebrating the homemade culture that Team Cozy puts forth in its work and bringing the multi-dimensional effort full-circle.
