King Ice caught up with E.D.I. Mean to discuss his love for watches and being a collector.

Talk about your fashion sense and your drip. What accessories do you wear?

Man, I always just march to the beat of my own drum. I like fucking with shit that I’m comfortable in. I wear a lot of G-Star, they’re comfortable. They fit me right and they last long. 

What about your watch?

This is a Nixon. I’m a watch collector, so I got all types. This is old school, like a Swatch style. I’m a collector. 

You got Rollie’s in your vault?

I don’t have a Rollie, but I got some nice watches. I have about 6 watches, and a Rollie is in the future.
