While Seif Hamid was born and raised near Cleveland, and feels deep roots in Egypt - he\u2019s most at home in NYC. And his dad may or may not have a British accent. This recovering DJ may or may not have led one of the first arab-american hip hop groups (the Desert Crew), incorporated his own record label (Music Without Borders), and released two albums (2009\u2019s \u201cHindustani Gangster\u201d gained him coverage in GQ India). But as so many of us do, Seif (pronounced \u201csafe\u201d - which means \u201csword\u201d in Egyptian) has since traded his turntables for a bowtie, fashion line (Soof), and even fatherhood. In a conversation reflecting on our senses of culture, belonging, and maturity - Seif shares how he continues to evolve his look, outlook and outwardness.\xa0\nLEARN ABOUT SEIF\n\n@seifaldin\n\nSeif\u2019s music: https://spoti.fi/2HmgBxw\n\n\nSeif\u2019s apparel: soofnyc.com | @soofnyc\n\nMENTIONS\n\nFILM: the Godfather Trilogy - imdb.com/list/ls068557785\n\nARTIST: Umm Kulthum - wikipedia.org/wiki/Umm_Kulthum\n\nARTIST: Bob Marley- wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Marley\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
