Classic Morrow Fly Feature #5 – Elijah Pryor

In this edition of Classic Morrow Fly Feature i present to you "Most Fashionable New Yorker 2010" (awarded by 'Time Out New York' magazine), Elijah W Pryor known to many as KID Love. Elijah gets his nickname half from his resemblance to Kid from 'Kid and Play' (house party is one of my fave movies growing up btw). And the other half, 'Love' because he is all ways willing to give and apparently being real big when it come to romance. Mr Pryor was originally born in Staten Island ("Wu Tang for life") but now resides in Queens ("Farmer Blvd, shout out to Mr COOL J")  so a True New Yorker born and bread. 

Who is your fashion icon(s)?
Really don’t have a fashion icon i just have a lot of respect for those who can 'Wear What People Fear" example Kayne West

Who is your favorite music artist(s)?

Tupac or i should say Mr Shakur. He was an artist that did poetry, did motivational speakin and rapped. He was the all-around role model.

What is it you do/how do you define your self and what you do?

I define myself as a true African American. I do what i do for my people to show that we are trapped in a world that expects us to be a product of our environment and we don’t have to be. We have so much potential to make change.

So far, what is your greatest achievement and (or) favorite piece of work do date (weather that be music, art or anything else)?

I would have to say being in ‘Time Out New York’ magazine voted most fashionable New Yorker of 2010 along with getting people to read my poetry and the great feedback i got.

Who are "A Funky Tribe Called Fresh" and what are you about.

We are a family. We are just a bunch of kids from around New York having fun and showing that it fun to be different and also that talent is the key for success. We call each other brother and sister because a lot of us don’t have big families so we are each other’s family.

What are you working on at the moment and what can we expect in the near future?

you can expect to see more photo shoots and magazine covers. Right now I’m just working on making the tribe bigger and expanding.

Where/what do you see yourself doing in the future, let’s say 10 years down the line?

I hope to open my own poetry art cafe in 5 years and just live life with no worries.
