Looking towards spring in New York City, and with Lower East Siders eagerly anticipating Awake NY’s Orchard Street gatherings, the Angelo Baque-led label is preparing the way for the upcoming season by revealing its Spring 2025 collection.

In the heart of their collection, Awake NY has teamed up for a second time with the Gil Scott-Heron estate to create a tribute capsule celebrating the enduring legacy of this iconic American poet and musician. The assortment includes a hoodie displaying the album cover art for The Mind of Gil Scott-Heron on its front, while the back features the tracklist from this album. Additionally, there’s a traditional dad hat adorned with song titles from Scott-Heron’s debut 1971 album, Pieces of a Man.
