class=\"lead-text\">3500<\/span><\/span>, Polo Perks spent a few weeks doing a deep dive into the world of Midwestern emo music. Rap, punk, and what was then known as \u201calternative rock\u201d were his genres of choice growing up, but he never had time to properly sit with this particular brand of melancholy guitar music. In the hazy, pastel green backroom of the Le Fleur Cafe on a muggy Thursday afternoon in lower Manhattan, Perks gushes about his favorites in the scene, from Midwest Penpals to Brave Little Abacus. \u201cBut the best one outta that whole wave is The World Is A Beautiful Place And I\u2019m No Longer Afraid To Die,\u201d he says, conceding that it&#8217;s an excessively long name. When I ask him if he\u2019s spent any time with Midwest emo gods American Football, his eyes light up brighter than the tan and green-speckled pants he\u2019s wearing. \u201cI definitely love [their album] <i>American Football<\/i>,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Finding inspiration in unexpected places is what hip-hop was founded on, 50 years ago this summer. While those unlikely influences are morphed, over and over again into irresistible new songs, certain core elements remain. That&#8217;s true too for the PUMA Classics collection, which have completed and defined looks for even longer. Beloved by b-boys in the early \u201880s and the most innovative artists of today, PUMA Classics are always at the intersection of cutting-edge and classic. <\/p>\n<p>            Perks is laidback and amiable \u2014 his voice rarely rises above a whisper \u2014 and his musical appetite is bottomless. He\u2019s as big of a fan of JAY-Z (he\u2019s a self-proclaimed \u201cRoc-A-Fella baby\u201d) as he is of Linkin Park. As a kid, he snuck into a Warped tour (\u201cI got in trouble for it,\u201d he remembers with a shrug.) By the end of our conversation, we\u2019re trading music to take home: I send him home with Swedish metal band Meshuggah\u2019s 2008 album <i>obZen<\/i> and he recommends \u201cMafatshi Leh,\u201d a slice of Arabic funk music he\u2019d unearthed from another musical wormhole.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-245173\" class=\"content_block flush header center_align\">\n<div class=\"video-header-bg \" style=\"\">\n<p>      <video class=\"video-header-bg__video\" id=\"custom-header-video\" autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" poster=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/thefader\/video\/private\/q_70\/polo_perks_video_no_audio_riswtc.jpg\"><source src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/thefader\/video\/private\/q_70\/polo_perks_video_no_audio_riswtc.webm\" type=\"video\/webm\"><\/source><source src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/thefader\/video\/private\/q_70\/polo_perks_video_no_audio_riswtc.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"><\/source><source src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/thefader\/video\/private\/q_70\/polo_perks_video_no_audio_riswtc.ogv\" type=\"video\/ogg\"><\/source><\/video><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-header-bg__title-wrap\">\n<div class=\"video-header-bg__title-wrap__container\">\n<h1>\n        <\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"deck\"><\/h2>\n<div class=\"credits\">\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-react-class=\"AudioToggle\" data-react-props=\"{}\" class=\"video-header-audio-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-245172\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            This sense of wanderlust extends to Perks\u2019 own music, which is mostly rooted in rap but pulls liberally from the worlds of rock and electronic to create mutant hybrids. <i>PUNK GOES DRILL+**<\/i>, his 2021 breakout, includes floating lyrical homages to Kanye West\u2019s \u201cThe New Workout Plan\u201d over chirpy, 8-bit synths and a song that samples The Killers\u2019 eternal one-damn-thing-after-another anthem \u201cMr. Brightside.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Rappers being attracted to the pop hits of yesteryear is nothing new, but most of the samples in vogue right now feel opportunistic, hollow grabs for cheap nostalgia dollars. Perks\u2019 downright avant-garde sample choices \u2014 he and producer Goner sampled a riff from Huntsville, AL band Camping In Alaska, for example, on \u201cSomethingThatMatters\u201d \u2014 are one thing, but he knows the contours of the music he references well, and fits his voice in the fray in a way that transcends sampling-for-sampling\u2019s-sake. \u201cWe all wanna try to find some sorta connection \u2014 that\u2019s music, that\u2019s clothes, that\u2019s art, that\u2019s everything,\u201d he explains. \u201cWhen you doing something that\u2019s more broad and pure, I think you get more of that reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            The same can be said about the PUMA CA Pro. Rather than straining to recreate something that was potent in the past, it cuts an iconic silhouette, effortlessly fitting into any outfit like a Trojan horse filled with a cool that has never gone out of style. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\"

Perks\u2019 relationship with music and art started as a kid growing up across the tri-state area. Born Sean Patrick Perkins in the South Bronx in 1994, he moved between there and Connecticut while his father was on the run. While in Connecticut, he was introduced to the world of rock music through skateboarding, local shows, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> outlets like Z100 and Fuse. Fuse would play marathons of videos by Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, and Glassjaw, which Perks would tape to VHS and hide from his mother so he could watch them while she was at work. These, and projects from rappers like West (<i>Late Registration<\/i>), Common (<i>Be<\/i>), and Cam\u2019ron (<i>Purple Haze<\/i>), were what raised him. In high school, a friend who rapped recorded a freestyle over Hit-Boy\u2019s \u201cNiggas In Paris\u201d beat, and Perks thought he could do better. He posted his own freestyle, and the response inspired him to try music on his own. By the time he was 18, in 2012, he was fighting a case of his own and dabbling in music less but still invested enough to earn his GED and enroll in the music program at Duchess Community College before dropping out 10 days later.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            While he was honing his skills, disaster loomed. The digital footprint he\u2019d been establishing was wiped from the internet when his Soundcloud and Instagram pages were deleted. By 2018, he had contemplated giving up on music altogether but was convinced by friends to drop the single \u201cTrendy Shit,\u201d which quickly went viral. Back on the saddle, he began working with producers like EvilGiane, Goner, and Tommytohotty, who helped bring <i>PUNK GOES DRILL+** <\/i>together. Both alone and as a member of the collective Surf Gang, Perks slowly carved out a lane for himself, combining elements of sample drill, rock, and early 2000s chipmunk soul into something simultaneously nostalgic and nihilistic. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-245179\" class=\"content_block diptych triple_gutter_right

debut album, came from a move to Atlanta. It\u2019s his most focused and reverent project to date. Most of it was written and recorded in isolation with a handful of producers \u2014 Hanzo, Fedorian, and WorkForHire, among others \u2014 and was built around two specific goals: for Perks to give more of himself on record, and to show his deepening appreciation for the intersection of rap, rock, and everything in between. On \u201cMinutia,\u201d talk of getting paper is drowned out by downtempo guitars, muffled synths, and the hook \u201cShorty, I pour lean in my Sprite \/ I see demons at night.\u201d Samples from artists like Ghost Orchard, Vegyn, and Alex G become playgrounds for flexes and intense reflection. One song is built around a sample by rising goth-pop star Ethel Cain, who personally cleared it after she met Perks at a show. \u201cShe was already aware of who I was because her sister loves my music,\u201d he says. Like hip-hop itself, PUMA Classics are a sort of shared language for fashion experts and novices, b-boys and ballplayers, people old and young all the same. <\/p>\n<p>            Perks and his team take sampling very seriously. Genre-blending is common in the world of modern pop music, but Perks inhabits the same lane as artists like Kenny Mason and Jim Legxacy, whose hybrid songs feel organic and lived-in, tailor-made for kids who listened to as much Nirvana as they did Outkast or Wu-Tang. In fact, Perks\u2019 relationship with the two goes deeper than just complementary sounds. \u201cIt\u2019s not many people who get how equal each one is. For one, it\u2019s all Black music,\u201d he says bluntly. \u201cFor two, at one point, both were getting shunned and rejected the same way, not being understood and not getting the platforms the same way. Literally. It wasn\u2019t like doo-wop music or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align:

When I ask why this was the album to commemorate his blood and chosen family, he puts the blunt down for the first time all day, his eyes gaining laser focus: \u201cI got people that\u2019s held me down, let me sleep on their couches, pushed me for years \u2014 literal years. I owe a lot to a lotta people. Their time was invested in making sure I was safe, that their brother was straight, that their brother was eating, whatever. I have to make sure that people know their time was well invested. You can\u2019t let that investment go to waste.
