illRoots Profile: Ibn Jasper

A name you may have heard or a face you may have seen, Ibn Jasper is one of those unique individuals that manages to always stay on top of things at his own pace.

Most known for his relationship with Kanye West, many people credit Ibn as one of the most talented barbers in the game. More than that however, Ibn definitely has his own approach and outlook on the day to day, and you'll probably catch him riding through the city on his skateboard or bike.

IllRoots caught up with Ibn in Los Angeles. He took them down Fairfax to some of the most well known street-wear shops in the country, including Diamond Supply Co. with Nick Diamonds. Learn more about Mr. Jasper and what makes him tick.

Ibn Jasper Q&A

you should know who he is by now.

"The reason I am fly is Ibn Jasper"
- Lupe Fiasco - Paris, Tokyo

Check out the Q&A from Limite mag

Name / Alias:

Ibn Jasper / Ferrari Murakami aka F.M. Phenomenal

First off, how do you define fresh?

My new thing is that I want to be so fresh that it offends people. I want people to feel a little disrespected when I show up with the clothes I have on. I have the entire globe as my reference, and I shop everywhere around the world, so I rock items that people have never even heard about, let alone seen.

So basically, being fresh is just a part of you, it comes naturally, from kicks to clothes to hair styles, it’s part of your being?

Oh yea, definitely. Freshness is everything you do. From what you eat, drink, watch on TV(or don’t watch on TV), movies, books, mags, websites, girls you holla @… just everything you do with your life determines how fresh you are. Being fresh is the number one responsibility in the profession I’m in, so I analyze freshness with a little bit more detail and intensity than anyone else. Fresh is more of a direct science to me.

Do you draw inspiration for freshness from the people around you (i.e. Kanye, Diamond, Lupe)?

I really just have my own style that comes from me, but I will say that Kanye, Lupe and Nick have given me some really nice gifts.

if you are waiting for some special sneakers right now

Lastly, is there anything you’d like to say to the fashion connoisseur reading this right now?

Don’t just be a fashion connoisseur, be a connoisseur of everything in life. Also, a big, huge shout to Kanye for changing my life. That’s all…. Oh yeah and the Air Yeezys and Pastelle coming real soon. Like real soon before you know it soon.
