Homeless But Not Helpless

“Follow your dreams,” “with hard work you can be whatever you want to be,” etc. At some point during our youth, we have all heard variations of the aforementioned phrases. At what point do we give up on our dreams & start the dismal 9 to 5 routine life that most of us accept as “real life?”

Enter Really R.E.A.L.: at 25 years old, he has probably lived 3 lifetimes, going through trials & tribulations that would make most men crumble. Even though R.E.A.L. has seen more than his share of adversity, he has held on to his dreams of making it big in music.

In his breakout project “Homeless But Not Helpless,” R.E.A.L. wears his heart on his sleeve displaying an honesty not seen often in todays rap, where braggadocio & false bravado are the norm. On each song you get insight into the struggles of a man trying desperately to hang on to life itself.

A true D.I.Y’er, R.E.A.L. paid 4 everything out of pocket, even designing the album artwork himself.  “Homeless But Not Helpless” is the epitome of reality rap, no big budgets, no gimmicks.  R.E.A.L. gives you insight into his world–gritty, unpolished, and raw.  Give the man a listen…

Peep “Homeless But Not Helpless” here.

Mission Statement

2005 gave rise to the dawn of a new era in Louisville, Kentucky. Tired of being entranced by the endless drone of hyper-consumerism, a collective of people was formed to reject what was being spoon fed to us by popular culture. A crew of people who initially shared a love of sneakers evolved into a consortium of like-minded individuals passionate about using their talents to raise awareness of youth culture in Louisville.

Saving Our Style is a creative outlet for those who have more to offer the world than what has been previously accepted by the masses. Our goal is to nurture youth and street culture in a positive manner. ALL CREWS UNITED is our rallying cry….
