Now a veteran of a near - fatal gangster lifestyle his story transformed into one of self - determination culminating in a career as a successful fashion entrepreneur. " A new autobiography from the Lo - Lifes founder George Rack - Lo Billips published by Brooklyn's power House books and distributed by Simon & Schuster sheds light on the origins of the movement its influence in hip - hop and streetwear and Billips journey from criminal to career counselor." - - Gothamist Rack - Lo made some bad choices: he left school he thieved he went to jail he got shot; he had a lust for fast money materialism and clothes and a knack for police run - ins street confrontations and skipping out on warrants. Rack - Lo was deep into street life in the late 1980s when he united teenage crews from the notorious Brownsville and Crown Heights neighborhoods of Brooklyn to found the legendary gang Lo Lifes who made a name for themselves dressing head to toe in highly coveted Ralph Lauren's Polo brand clothing or Lo. They acquired this preppy fashion by any means necessary: stick - ups shoplifting and hustling. What started as an informal gang uniform organized around clean designs and bright colors became a devotion to a lifestyle brand and eventually created an association between street - level crews and the luxury brands that would fundamentally change the pop culture foundation of the fashion industry. Rack - Lo's personal testimony captures the Lo Life era (1988 - 2005) like no other. But Rack - Lo didn t let the game change him. Instead he changed the game. He survived gun violence Riker's Island police brutality street conflicts a poor educational system and domestic violence long enough to turn around his life and reinvent himself; Rack - Lo continues to be revered for his distinct fashion style leadership ability to mobilize his people and brotherhood to visualize and revolutionize a better society. This is the incredible true story of Rack - Lo.
