Some stories don’t age. 18 years ago, I started telling this story. The Kid with the Green Backpack was born from real hallways, real dreams, real pressure, straight out of my high school years.

Created with my brother , known at the time as SEVEN, we made one of our most ambitious projects before the Blog Era ever existed. We never fully released it because it always felt…sacred. These photos were just a piece of the imagery we had creating this album, and there’s even a concept throughout them as well.

Now in 2026, it’s time to bring the story full circle. Sounds wild to say but “The Kid with the Green Backpack” is officially out now! In its most original form. Thank you all 🙏🏾💚
