A-Thug inspired by Event at The Apollo in Harlem

By BRS Staff

Regardless of who you are, everyone has had a dream at one time or another in their life. As a child, people dream of doing all kinds of things. Usually, as the years begin to catch up and adulthood comes, reality sets in. Sometimes the dreams change and sometimes the dream dies.

Aaron McBride had a dream of making it big as an entertainer when he was a child. When he got older, the dream remained, but it was much harder than he expected. Soon, he learned he was not a quitter when he stuck with it and pursued his dream. Now, McBride is running a profitable business.

Recently, McBride attended an event in Harlem, which featured guest appearances from Daymond John and Common. While he liked the appearance from Common, Aaron McBride found himself more inspired by Daymond John. He feels as if he has more in common with John because his story featured more of a struggle, much like his.

Daymond John was the brain behind FUBU clothing. In the late 1990s, FUBU rose to fame with a major endorsement from LL Cool J. John worked overtime just getting LL to model his product. For years, he produced the clothes from his own house. Initially, Daymond John gave away the products for free, but later he began charging and made good money from it. Without the backing of a major company, FUBU soon became the prominent clothing line for the hip hop community.

Even after seemingly falling off, FUBU is still going strong, but on an international scale. The clothing line is still doing very well in the United States, now known as FB Legacy. Much like John, Aaron McBride had the dream of making it big. First, he established himself as a rapper and he later expanded his company to include other ventures. By 2006, he had his own clothing line, BRS Clothing, which has done relatively well over the past few years.

Despite doing relatively well, Aaron McBride sees bigger things for his clothing line coming up in the near future. Soon, he sees stores in Harlem selling his products, having it hanging up in their windows. From there, he sees stores across New York City and the world selling his products. As his profile, as a rapper, grows bigger and bigger, McBride sees BRS Clothing becoming one of the top clothing lines in the hip hop community, alongside FUBU.
