If you know of SMKA, hopefully, by now you would have heard of Esperanza-ATL. They are our go to design guys and are responsible for the look and feel for Aleon Craft, and our SMKA Logo. In addition to ballin out on design work for us, they also have a clothing line and do a lot of other REALLY cool stuff around ATL. Check out their holiday deals and maybe buy something.
And I really like that sweatshirt, 2 please!
Our good friends at Esperanza and Whynatte are getting it in AGAIN this summer. Are you gonna be there?
As the promo reads, 2 years ago we threw some pretty memorable summer parties with WHYNATTE that I can’t seem to remember a thing about, and ever since you’ve been asking for more. Rooftops are what we seem to do best, so why break what’s not fixed? This year we’ll be kicking things off with a slightly subdued, but sure to become rautious, affair on the rooftop patio at REPUBLIC SOCIAL HOUSE that might very well rank as the third coolest party in the city tomorrow night! WHYNATTE has agreed to bring back the old school, a la minute, hot WHYNATTES just like old times; which is a huge feat in itself since becoming the canning moguls they now are. In addition, ESPERANZA will have some new items available at slashed prices that will probably get lower with every hot latte we glug down. Come on out and hang out with the home team. Party starts at 8PM, but we’ll probably be there pre-gaming for the last few innings of the BRAVES game. Dress code is somewhere between “after five” and “texas black tie.” There will be DJs, prizes, etc. but lets not kid ourselves folks, the bass will not be chest-crushing, there will not be any famous rappers spraying champagne, and the only wobbling you’re gonna be doing will be down the stairs at 3am… this is a good old “get together with friends and get your drink on” kind of night. – Esperanza
Don’t miss our brothers Esperanza at the Inman park festival this weekend. Should be great weather and a chance to hang out before our events on Fri-Sat
After the braves won the first game of the season…it’s great to see this.
Esperanza is our go to graphics team and continue to put out DOPE Atlanta sports shirts!
Thanks our good friends at Esperanza for giving SMKA a much needed make over. This is something we have been meaning to do for a while, but wanted the re-branding launch to come with The 808 Experiment: Vol 3!!!
Esperanza-Atl is one of our partners in crime and some of our go to designers.
808 Blake recently sat down with our friends and design crew Esperanza to discuss SMKA and producing aspirations. Listen and stream below.
We got a chance to kick it on the mic with 808 Blake,the producer of SMKA. We found out some interesting facts and listened to some dope beats, so I would say that this Transmission was a success! – Esperanza

Podcast Description
Esperanza Atlanta knows what the deal is in our city. We will always remain on the forefront of what sounds good, what looks good, what tastes good, what smells good, what’s funny, what’s anything. We will discuss that anything and everything with the creative minds we come in contact with in our daily business. Don’t expect us to get too serious though, this is not business discussion. It is spirited talks fueled by all of the interesting people we are consistently inspired by. www.esperanza-atl.com
808 Blake sat down with Esperanza Transmission to discuss a number of things (coming on iTunes podcast soon). One of those issues were caught on film….
