YUGI24K SHYNE shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
YUGI24K, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What is a normal day like for you right now?
This is a great question because what a normal day for me now is pretty much waking up feeding my son and wife a nice hearty meal of 🥞 flapjacks and oats . Sketching up designs in the blackbook and drawing graff slaps for @ghoulsk8co while we enjoy our breakfast.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
It truly is a deep and taboo question to have to answer in front of the world but, this is a question that has been heavily on my mind recently, and to do your own self inventory is growth, and to GROW is to Get Rid Of old Ways. So I would have to say the part of me that has served his purpose and must now be released is my shadow self, my ego, and my need to feel validated or as we call it in the meta world “verified” by any outside source. I am whole within as well as without. I learned to grow in darkness and became a beacon! NOW, I embody the LYTE! The old me was rooting for me to be exactly who I am now ! Rooted in Love Grounded on TRUTH and WISDOM. Shed deceit and falsehood and become refined as pure 24KSHYNEGOLD I decided to cure my demons not kill and live in harmony within now and forevermore.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say one kind thing to my younger self it would be to my 17-18 year old self and I would say something along the lines of .. “24KSHYNEABOVEALL JiTT! DONTCHU EVA QUIT!)” DBE GMG 24KSHYNEWORLDWYDERECORDS YA DIGGG! I’d probably keep it brief though ,because he has da ORIGINAL BLEuPrYNT and you know how tricky shynetravel can be.. haha (wouldn’t want to cause a ripple in the #shynetyme continuum typeeeshhhhii)🤐 🤫 shh here is a question to contrast yours.. what if I told y’all I met my future self already.. would you believe me??
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
GHOULARTWORKS WORLD PEACE PROTECT AND WORLD PEACE PROJECT is the CAMPAIGN we must PROTECT AT ALL COST! @24KSHYNE WORLDWYDE CAMPAiGN ! WE ALL HAVE THE POWER TO MANIFEST OUR OWN DESTINY WE NEED NO PERMISSION TO SHYNE AND ILLUMINATE OUR ENTiRE UNiVERSE! it is #SHYNETYME! TAPiN #SHYNETOPIA TAPE OUT NOW !!
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Could I give everything my best , even if no one ever praised me for it ? Yes. Every time I decide to do anything I WILL always give it 111% my all plus sum. It doesn’t matter if it’s Cooking, Music , Fashion, Sk8n, Painting, etc. whatever outlet is fueling my passion, that’s my driving force , just do it ! to SHOW ME! MYSELF ! I don’t create to be praised , but I design by design. It’s second nature for me to explore my imagination! No one else’s praise matters to me, because when we wait for approval, we lose sight of our own divine destiny! who cares anyway what someone else had to say about my works while I was here on earth, as long as I am divinely guided to pursue an idea it will always be finished and perfected to completion! Who’s to say they didn’t secretly , wish they “did it first” or what if they love our work and are too bashful to speak up face to face. It keeps you humble to know only Holy Spirit within and Jehovah above deserves praise for their everlasting works of beauty and Love that’s forever keeping this 24kbleu marble we call earth in harmony. I would say as a creator it’s selfish to expect to be glorified in some sort of limelight for something so minor on the timeline of creation. what we do today will be a guideline for what may happen tomorrow, but we can only take a footstep at a time! So as the l8 great BigBlack CB says “DO WORK!” Today, so we can all GHOULARTWORKS sum sh!+ out tomorrow!
