Joshton Peas: “I don’t take trips down memory lane often, but it’s amazing to think that Anwar Carrots and I have been friends for over 10 years now. In conversation, I always refer to him as my partner because our working relationship was the perfect union. Two kids from different places, but with similar taste. Hip-hop is the real intersection of our relationship. Not only is it the music of our generation but it’s the culture that inspires us. From Gucci Mane Hood Affairs DVDs to Rocawear denim suits, hip-hop was the fuel that inspired us to make our mark on the world. 

Since our departure from Peas and Carrots Intl., I always get the question, “When’s the last time you spoke to Anwar?” It always takes me aback, because we speak weekly and it sucks to think people saw our friendship as just a business venture. In the end, things fall apart but the passion, love, and respect is what stands the test of time. Recently, I sat down with Anwar to talk about his current business venture, Carrots By Anwar Carrots and his roots in Los Angeles streetwear.
