"To me, 'street' was rap music. It was clean white sneakers and unique basketball jerseys in the early 2000's. It was apartment blocks and working before you turned 16. It was tricked-out shit cars and mountain bikes on the road. I've always liked the street, not knowing what it really meant." - From the Editor
