Many Faces // R.P.Smith - FULL ALBUM
The skillful artist has the ability to channel their influences to create a new, unprecedented work of art.
In his debut album, R.P.Smith showcases his musical evolution from listener to artist. The classic sounds of rock music and fusions of modern genres reflect as many faces as the album's cover and title suggest as this project finds cohesion in its stylistic variation over 9 tracks and 25 minutes.
While R.P.Smith is making a name for himself as a do-it-yourself creator, Many Faces is the product of what can happen when you do-it-together.

City Workshop & City W.
City Workshop Men's Supply Company was founded in 2015 on a mission to bring quality garments to the New Jersey community. They have since expanded and recently opened City W. Life+Style Supply Co. to bring the same focused curation to womenswear. Roger & Josefina, the shops' owners, have a passion for finding clothing and accessories with undeniable style, unmatched quality, and close attention to detail.
The core of their style is heritage workwear: a subculture in fashion that focuses on the durability, craftsmanship, and timelessness of clothing. This often includes heavyweight denim, flannel, and canvas that are as stylish as they are utilitarian.
But CW has never been a shop to "set it and forget it" - instead, they bring in new styles and brands every season that blend workwear, streetwear, and high fashion, while staying true to their dedication to quality.
At City Workshop & City W. you will, without a doubt, find your new favorite clothes.
