Mike B. on Bad Boy, The Jersey Era, and The Birth of Bogard

Today’s guest is Mike B — a stylist, designer, and cultural force who helped define the look of one of hip-hop’s most iconic eras. From Westchester to Bad Boy Entertainment, Mike B was in the room as the culture evolved—working alongside Groovy Lou and Puff to shape the style of artists like Biggie, Faith Evans, Mase, and Black Rob. From standout moments like “Special Delivery” to influencing the jersey era, his work helped turn fashion into a language that matched the music. Now, through his brand Bogard, he’s focused on bringing individuality and intention back to fashion while building on a legacy rooted in authenticity. This is Mixed and Mastered with Mike B.
