Our boys holding it down up in Providence were recently voted “BEST HIP-HOP ACT” in the Providence Phoenix. Much respect and be sure to check out their latest mixtape “Shoot For Stars, Hit the Ceiling” which you can download HERE. Congrats, fellas.

Poorly Drawn People — Dox, Storm Davis, Entity, Reason, and DJ Sterby Rock — are crafting an aesthetic, and monstrous reputation, for the best damn hip-hop around. Davis, the de facto spokesman, attributes their success to a variety of factors, but one element in particular: “Ninety-eight percent of it has to do with the fact that we actually, sincerely don’t give a shit what anybody thinks,” says Davis. “Don’t get us wrong — we love validation, praise, applause, and whatever else people want to give us. But if we’re happy with it, we don’t care what anyone thinks.”

PDP met through mutual friends in the area hip-hop network. “The more time we spent together, the more respect we developed for each other,” says Davis. “Every time we played, I would get wowed. We thought about it: among us we could have four teams of one, or one team of four. That’s how we came together.” And the union grows more potent and effective each time they open their mouths. Their latest mix tapes, including Shoot for the Stars, Hit the Ceiling and Nothing Stays Gold, have been flying out and signs point to some serious success. “There’s no shortage of good feelings about ourselves,” admits Davis. “People wonder how you can fit this many gigantic egos into one room!” Many in the hip-hop arena feel that, despite those expectations, PDP is knocking on a special door. “We really want to be put on the field with the best, to see how we measure up” says Davis.

So what is PDP looking for? “Right now, time and money are the only things holding us back.”

Here’s some behind the scenes shots, keep an eye out soon for the Summer 08 Catalog and Online look book with all of our Summer goods. The clothes will be available May 1st Online!
