The brand, although somewhat new, has been seen thousands of times online with its bold color ways and it’s memorable Trap Lives Matter logo. Here’s a few questions to give answers to where this brand came from and where it’s headed.
What first sparked the idea for the brand?
TLM: What sparked the idea of my brand was growing up in the hood everybody was hustling and trapping. I seen many people get locked up for it, including myself. The name basically explains itself u got people out here that can’t get a 9-5 and that don’t wanna get a 9-5. They rather feed and provide for their families with hustling their lives matter to everyone isn’t perfect so that’s why I choose the name Trap Lives Matter.

TLM: Yes I’ve always been into designing clothes. I’ve been designing since I was in middle school. I just finally got that push I needed to start doing my own thing. Now I got my own equipment making my clothes in house.
What was your first experience selling your clothing? When did you decide to make a website?
TLM: My first experience selling my clothes was at my cousin’s tattoo shop. I gave him a shirt and then a couple minutes later he was calling like, “Bring the shirts pull up they want them ASAP”. I made the website the second month after I started cause I was getting people from all over on my dm asking about it and asking when the website was coming.
