The Crew Royalty Chronicles is grateful for the distinct honor in interviewing one of our ELITE HIT LIST Members: Rabb LOVE; The Master Mind, The Creator, and the Demonstrator behind the World-Wide, NO Compromise, Guerrilla Republik. Also known as G-REP, an apparel line that is dedicated to restoring true HIP-HOP through a profound groovement, community action, and International trade. Kick back and enjoy this monumental history Guerrilla Republik unfolds.
The Crew Royalty Chronicles connected with G-REP on a foggy Monday morning in Atlanta, Georgia where Rabb Love the Creator of Guerrilla Republik was breaking down the series Boardwalk Empire. “Brothers let business effect their personal life.” “What I recognized in this series is other Nationalities do business and don’t deal with emotions.” “They have mastered the statement that most use as a figure of speech: It’s BUSINESS not personal and to the untrained eye one would think it’s a movie, but they’re really dropping jewels.” Rabb Love
