Baltimore music producer, recording artist, DJ, and Milkcrate clothing designer Aaron LaCrate recently teamed up with Dipset’s Jim Jones on his new summer single “Everybody Jones.” We caught with with Aaron to learn more about the project, as well as check out his new Milkcrate Bespoke Nike Air Force 1.
Thanks man, we met a few times over the years. I booked him for my YoYo party in NYC back in 2008 and I’m friendly with a bunch of people in his camp. I was DJing a party and Jim was there hanging out by the DJ booth, we spoke a bit and he jumped on the mic, the rest is history.
