I’m always talking about Rich Medina and Jump N Funk, but what exactly is it?
And although I’m sure that I’ve explained the concept, the written word fails to do it justice.
So this weekend, I decided to shoot a few videos to highlight exactly what JNF is.
Friday night, in the midst of the storm, I made my way down to Philadelphia to Fluid, where Rich Medina, Mark Hines and 101 Apparel were putting it down.
101 Apparel is a clothing line that collaborates with DJs to create custom t-shirt lines.
As their website puts it “101 Apparel was created by designer Eric Crandell in 2006 as a way to seamlessly bridge the gap between art, music, and fashion.”
Friday, night, Rich decided to big them up at Jump N Funk to acknowledge the collabo.
But I’m not going to blather on.
Today, I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
Here’s a clip of 101 Apparel’s branding incorporated into the visuals for the night.

It’s not a party without a Soul Train line!
Classic!
To recap, Jump N Funk+Visualeyz+101 Apparel+Fluid=banging party!
So the next time I tell you that there’s a Jump N Funk party going down somewhere, make it your business to be in the cut to experience this flyness for yourself!
