The
voice of an Unnown Nation. (Losst Unnown Inc.)
Losst
Unnown is not only a company but rather a movement that
strives to preserve all talent and serves as a springboard
for artists to speak out everywhere. As part of our
mission, we make it our job to open people’s minds to the
truth behind the industries’ continual misrepresentation
of society, people and life. Manipulating pieces of Hip
Hop culture for their own selfish gains not only devalues
the real artists such as ourselves but destroys what inner
city talent have spent years building. We feel it is
essential to let everyone know the real deal.
Most
artists no matter what their specialty rarely receive
proper compensation if any for their work. Yet there are
plenty of people out there such as superficially bred
artists or posers that possess a quarter of the talent of
other quality artists receiving exorbitant amounts of
money. How is this possible you ask? Unfortunately the
world revolves around art, ideas and humanity to a much
lesser extent than money and power. It’s not necessarily
about talent or intelligence but connections, favoritism
and politics. In the midst of all the superficial reality
and media exploitation and we believe that real artists
need to support each other.
We are
dancers, djs, mcs, spoken word artists, poets, graffiti
writers, graphic and fashion designers, photographers,
film directors, video editors, soon to be skateboarders
and much much more. We LOVE what we do and LIVE for what
it is we do.
Although Hip Hop is a term we use to identify our main
area of interest, nowadays it is a common misnomer. Hip
Hop is not just a label or trend. Urban wear, street
slang, rap, expensive cars, big shiny jewelry, half-naked
females, guns, drugs, and pit bulls does not automatically
mean you are “hood,” “street” or “Hip Hop.” Hip Hop is
more than just an image or language but more so a culture
that does not exclude anyone or anything. It’s about a
state of mind; a freedom to express one’s self through
beneficial outlets such as music, dance, poetry, art or
whatever it is that makes you feel good. It’s about just
being YOU and always staying TRUE to yourself no matter
what. In the words of Losst Unnown, this is the definition
of REAL Hip Hop. Our philosophy is not only reflected in
our dance but in our clothing as well. The gear provides a
constructive and creative outlet for us to communicate our
thoughts and feelings about life and the world around us.
Our ideas range from dance and music to urban, social and
universal subject matter. The people we work with support
our ideology and enjoy spreading our message to broader
audiences. Hip Hop is not necessarily an answer, but a
stepping stone that allows us to affect positive change on
the culture of our youth and the world at large.
If
you have a talent that you are passionate about we believe
that together we can achieve our goals. If you would like
