I could write mad words about Chace Infinite, because he is such an awesome human on so many levels. We have shared a friendship for over 17 years! We grew up together in the L.A. underground hip-hop scene of the early 90s. As an artist he is second to none. Check out this rad interview…enjoy!
RockersNYC: Yes yes Chace…whats the styles, how are you?
CHACE: I’m blessed brother, just living and trying to stay creative.
RockersNYC: What joy do you find in being a creative human?
CHACE: I find joy in actualizing a thought. Bringing what started as a gas, into the physical realm. Creativity is alchemy of sorts giving birth to the images in your mind, through various mediums.
RockersNYC: Do you feel connected to the interplanetary world?
CHACE: I feel a connection to the universe for sure. We are beings that contain elements found in the cosmos, and I am conscious of that. I am eager for the day we can all leave this planet or plane, if you will.
RockersNYC: What’s your take on the ancient faiths of the world?…do these faiths have any effect on the way you see the universe?
CHACE: The ancient faiths are a guide to understanding the universe. All of them, from the ancient stories of the Dogon Tribes, to Christianity. Instead of studying for the purpose of finding the point of separation, I study to find the common thread within the faiths.
RockersNYC: Do you feel that there exists an universal creative tribe?…if so, what kind of strength do you get from the tribe?
CHACE: I think we exist at a third level density and vibrate at a rate that can be detected by light which makes us visible physically, but there is a universal vibration. I believe creative beings are close to the source of that vibration.
STRAIGHT.HOOD.BANGING!!!
RockersNYC: What effect does music have on what you create?
CHACE: Music is the bread of life for me. All of my life experiences are triggered by songs. My memories have soundtracks in my head. Everything I create is in some part influenced by music.
RockersNYC: Does your family overstand what you do?
CHACE: I believe my immediate family does, the rest of my family probably thinks I sell drugs on the low.
RockersNYC: Say what ever you want to say!
CHACE:God is great. Live life and fear nothing. Stay black, and smoke something bitch!!!!
“Los Angeles-based label God’s Prey looks to street culture for the direction of their most recent collection. Borrowing a page from 1977′s King’s Road punk rock aesthetic and blending it with their pyschedelic prints, which includes this season’s Sweet Leaf pattern, the label turns out a fun collection of varied proportions. From graphic tees and suspenders to leggings, God’s Prey infuses street culture aspirations with the quirks of fashion’s current staples for quite the intriguing season.”
“The crew at God’s Prey are getting ahead of the curve, dropping this look at the spring / summer 2011 ‘Cosmic Funhouse’ collection. Cosmic Funhouse lives up to its name, taking cues from the classic psychedelic rock era with its graphics, and mixing it with modern menswear influences. A brilliant bit of design and tailoring work, the entire collection is made in LA, making a collection you can feel good and look good wearing.”

1.Yes yes nick whats the styles, how are you? what up big styles?
Nick:
thanks for the questions and its great to know u my brother. Im feeling pretty open at the moment.
2.what joy do you find in being an creative human?
Nick:
can’t pin point the exact joy or feeling I get but I do love and respect myself as a human and that allows me to be aware of others around me and do the same for them.
3.do you feel connected to the interplanetary world?
Nick:
very very strongly. and i can feel the others around me that are connected. I am very open to the cosmic world, and the energy and colors flowing around us. I feel blessed that I allowed myself to connect to this world. Learning to embrace my dark side has helped me travel very deeply into the interplanetary world.
4.what’s your take on the ancient faiths of the world?…do these faith’s have any effect on the way you see the universe?
Nick:
mixed feelings for sure on this one… basically I take a little of this and a little of that from ancient faiths but i don’t follow or worship one particular faith.
5.do you feel that there exist an universal creative tribe?…if so what kind of strength do you get from the tribe?
Nick:
I feel you are either on one side or the other. I try and walk the rightious path and make this world a better place. I mean when u meet someone u can tell right off if they get it or don’t. If they are on the level. If they care to be.. Once you are on the level than if u are open and your inner walls are down enough, you can connect and communicate in a whole different way.. no words, just feelings, colors, and energy.
6.what effect does music have on what you create? its everything.
Nick:
it is a channel to other worlds.
7.does your family overstand what you do?
Nick:
110% and I fucking love them for that!
8.say what ever you want to say!
Nick:
Get connected with your true self. Respect others around you, especially their personal space. Slap my mind!
