Before brands knew the power of social media, the Brand Under The Bottom (UTB) Lifestyle was making its mark in the year 2007.  Andre Burrows  (Dre) and Karim Branscomb (Treem) came together to build the UTB Lifestyle brand. 

They both had a mission to make their own mark in the creative industry. They took creative inspiration from folks  Pharell and Lupe Fiasco. They had a plan to be more than just a brand and took off as soon as they team up with the likes of Wiz Khalifa in 2009.

Now a fast forward to 2021 and UTB is still here going strong and reaching new heights. This past August UTB announced that it was dropping its first NFT for the Brand’s signature logo. They created a Twitter thread that explained how UTB started and was led to the NFT space.
