BTMVLE University

BTMVLE is back with brand new “University Caps” featuring the infamous “Dunce Cap Kid” on the front, and “BTMVLE” on the back. Each cap is premium embroidered with an adjustable leather strap on the back. With three different color combos the fits are endless.

🏕💯🏡

This red and black joint is my favorite of the whole drop. I have a Cowboy By Takeo tee that will go perfect with it. The leather strap on the back gives it that polo hat vibe.

Dunce Cap Kid
Jotta

For those that have the orange and green Cowboy tee or the limited BTMVLE camo tee , this piece is a must for you. A lot of people crap on orange but it’s one of my favorite colors depending on what it’s paired with. This is one I would stash until fall and then bring it out just in time for season.

Aqua

This shit right here was made for the summer. Throw on your Aqua, Cowboy tee and some Aqua 8s and your set my friend. The blue font really pops on this piece. I am glad they went with the leather strap on all three hats, instead of switching them up on each one.

Not sure how many of these hats are left so you better act fast before they are gone. If they do drop new color ways I would like to see a grey joint with a purple dunce cap kid, that would be fire.

Foam Firepower

The team over at Balaclava Boys as been hard at work producing an arsenal of fire arm plushies made for any Jit to carry.

With prices and sizes ranging from $15 to $150 there is a piece for everyone. The plushies are multipurpose being able to be used in the field as well as for style. The homie Niiks already rocked a few of these exclusive pieces in his video for “Color Blind”.

Just wait on that $Grey bandito
Very Rvre

Also now available on the site are some exclusive 1 of 1 bags. My favorite has got to be the Arch bag, on some high art shit. The studio exclusive “Bandito Packs” might be my favorite bag in the entire line. Y’all any ready for that Prx Jit collab on that $Grey bandito, cause you know 1 of 1s are for the GOATS!

“Au Revoir” 👋

With the “Cowboy Party” happening this weekend I couldn’t think of a better time to pick up some gear on the site to rock at the function.

Party Like A Cowboy

To thank all of the supporters for all of the love over the past two years, the good people over at Cowboy By Takeo are giving back to the community with a “Cowboy Party”!

This poster goes brazy

The past year as been a brazy one for the entire team over at Cowboy, from the “Goods & Wares” aspect, to the next level stuff on Debop , the jean jackets, and even a game changing “Carry Your Adventure” collab with Balaclava Boys all culminating with an appearance on the “Bonfire Podcast” and their own tent at the Curated Heat “Curated Market”.

🏕💯🤠

If that wasn’t enough to get you hype for the party the homie went ahead and dropped some sick Cowboy logo tees in various color ways. The Aqua 8s inspired piece as well as the studio exclusive black and blue color ways are gonna be must haves for the Jit, but you can’t go wrong with any Cowboy tee. There is also a few other studio exclusives available at the party so you definitely don’t wanna get caught sleeping.

Everyone that wants Cowboy will get Cowboy

So grab your holster and spurs and come on out to the 2nd Anniversary Cowboy Party. I am sure the rest of the BTMVLE Studio family will have product available as well as the homies at Balaclava Boys and Pollex World. Everyone that wears Cowboy gets into the event free, and vaccinated guests will receive a free drink. Like I keep telling y’all “Everyone That Wants Cowboy, Will Get Cowboy!”

We Make It Cool To Be Southern.

Shout out my $lugg$

Following in the long line of Southern Hip Hop duos like UGK, Outkast, Goodie Mob, and 8ball & MJG, BTMVLE Jotta and Jerry prove on “Good Fellas EP” that Florida can produce dope traditional Southern Hip Hop as well.

Both Jotta and Jerry are no strangers when it comes to this Hip Hop shit, both have been staples of the St.Pete Hip Hop movement for a minute now as well as being founding members of $lugged $ound$. Southern Hip Hop is more than just trap shit, it’s about southern living and the good and bad that comes with it.

The intro track “Gf2” sets the album off with some summer time FLA vibes, that are guaranteed to get your St.Pete Beach cookout jammin. This was the first single released off the EP, so fingers crossed on a video soon.

“Think Tank” might be my favorite track on the entire EP, it’s just some life shit. Both emcees spit some of the realest bars I’ve heard in awhile. Jotta’s verse focuses on his new role as a father, painting a vivid picture of seeing his new born son. Nova’s went brazy on his verse, I really loved the sports references and his delivery at the opening of his verse was top tier, worddddd.

I dug how introspective the duo got on “The Table”, this is a perfect example of how Southern Hip Hop can have substance and be more than just flossin your grill and chains. We all have lost ones and this track is for them.

“Tango” reminds me the most of some old school “Ridin Dirty” H Town trill shit. This is the one you jam while you swang through 34st traffic. Shout out to Don Rock at the end, she was an essential addition for the outro.

The hook for “Dumb” is a standout for sure. The funky southern instrumental came off as psychedelic at points. It was dope that the intro and outro tracks had more of an upbeat vibe, while the middle portion had more of the introspective tracks.

“Good Fellas EP” is hands down one of my standout projects of the year so far, not only in the 727 scene but just in general. Jot & Jerry captured the Southern Hip Hop vibe 100%, cementing that St.Pete and FLA have a place in the story of Southern Hip Hop.

BTMVLE Is The Foundation

Over the past year or so the The BTMVLE studio has grown into one of the dopest spots for just mad creation. Whether it’s hosting Slugg Nite$ events or housing the numerous brands, each representing their own style and take on the culture, BTMVLE is the foundation!

Biker jackets going brazy

Taking time away from just doing outside work, the BTMVLE team has been building towards some big FLA themed pieces to have all the jits ready for beach season. I’ve seen some sneak peaks of the all embroidered gator biker vest, which is definitely an essential piece for any FLA rider.

Just when you thought the Cowboy By Takeo X Balaclava Boys collab was done they come at you with some of the dopest plushies I have seen in a minute. Every Jit in Pinellas county is gonna want one of these fire arm plushies. These are all hand made in house at the studio. My personal favorite is the yellow choppa.

Bandito pouch might be my favorite in the line up

The newest addition to the Cowboy By Takeo X Balaclava Boys lineup is the “Bandito Pouch”. After seeing the entire squad rock them at the NLB 3 year anniversary pop up, I was kind of sold on these being my favorite bag in the line up. Tons of new colors are available and the homies are always open to help create a custom bag for you for the right price.

Statement Piece
21st Century Cowboy

The latest splatter jean jacket collection from Cowboy By Takeo are some museum worthy pieces. Each piece has its own flavor, but my personal favorite has got to be the yellow one. Really hype to see what Cowboy will bring to a black jean jacket.

That red and yellow Cowboy logo tee is one of my favorite pieces I own. What makes Cowboy By Takeo logo tees so special are their ability to be worn in any situation or in any setting, whether it’s casual or a little more dressy, anyone that wants Cowboy will get Cowboy.

A master at work
Lostboy vibes

One of the newest collaborators to come through the studio is Lost Boy. Bringing a darker more metal vibe to design, I really dig all the recent jean work Lost Boy has been doing lately, especially that collab with Cowboy. The tag work on all of his shirts is really dope, adding in leather hits when it feels right on a certain piece.

These Demon Boy plushies are essential for any fan of the brand. The handmade factor of each piece is what I admire the most.

After infecting everyone with a few drops earlier in the year it’s only a matter of time before Pollex World takes over full control of your system. Soon you will be rocking Pollex without even knowing it, almost like a uniform.

Keep it locked to the site for all the amazing work coming out of the BTMVLE Studio.

1 Of 1’s Are For The GOATS.

Building off inspiration from their sold out “Trapicana” release, Jit Camp and BTMVLE have collaborated on “Trapicana Field” long sleeve to commemorate the historic 2020 Rays Baseball season.

The OG “Trapicana” tee shirt from BTMVLE.

In part one of their “Stadium Series” Collection, Jit Camp and BTMVLE put all of St.Pete into this one, with every detail representing the city.

The home of your Tampa Bay Rays.

The Rays blue and yellow color hits represent the current colors of the team. The purple and black camo design of the shirt is a call back to the OG “Devil Rays” color scheme we all know and love. Locals have so many great memories at the Trop, and for many it has been a staple of the city for our entire lives, this shirt is an ode to that.

The St.Pete Pelican Flag in the Rays color way.

The BTMVLE “Dunce Cap Kid” adds to the local ties theme by being a St.Pete owned brand and business, putting out small batches of dope product for their consumers. The Rays often use the Pelican or St.Pete flag on some of their gear, further adding to the St.Pete aesthetic.

Each 1 of 1 piece is personalized for each client.

At the moment 1 of 1’s like this will probably cost you around $150, so you better bring the bag. The 1 of 1 experience is worth it though, BTMVLE collaborates with you on what exactly your vision is to put out the best product possible. Be on the look out for future Jit Camp X BTMVLE drops in the near future.
