00:00What's up GQ? This is Bijal Robinson and these are my essentials.

00:15So this is a mini DJ set. You know, for me, I think this is pretty cool because you can take this anywhere you go.

00:20This is cool because you can learn every single thing on this set as if you were actually having a huge turntable.

00:26And this is just the mini version of it. And there's so many DJs out there that can really teach you on the fly.

00:32You know, every button that you have and you can have a turntable so you can do both.

00:37See, I love music so much. And, you know, this this is just something that just makes me happy.

00:41Like can get in my zone. I'm learning something new.

00:44Just like when I'm on the football field, you know, you get in the zone that you're just tapped into and everything else around you just kind of just goes away.

00:51So for me, like having this with me, too, you'll have the same feeling that the exact same feeling my next essential.

00:59I got the jewelry. So I have this is just this is just a regular black watch.

01:04I like to wear a lot of black. You can just wear this, put this on.

01:08I feel like when people see you with a watch, you're like, oh, oh, he's somebody, he's something.

01:13And then this next item is just a nice little like tennis kind of chain.

01:19You can wear it simply with anything, with everything.

01:23I mean, it's not like a big old like big old chain that, you know, a lot of guys wear, which I think those are I think those are great, too.

01:30But me, like for my style, it's more just like the simple tennis chain that you got.

01:34And you can just kind of rock that with anything.

01:36And you can still make your outfit look super clean, super, super nice.

01:39And then even for my earring right here, a lot of people know me for this earring.

01:42I wore this earring a lot, you know, this cross earring because I my faith and just me believing in God.

01:47I think that it's pretty cool that I could wear, you know, just a cross on my ear.

01:51You know, I haven't done that before.

01:52But, you know, with this one, like it's it's in the video game, like it's it's in Madden.

01:57So like they put this one in there. So, you know, people can recognize me like they say, I recognize you from your earring.

02:04I was like, nice. Like, let's go.

02:07You know, Leo Frost, obviously a lot of people know him.

02:09I'm Leo Kusro. I'm your favorite athlete's favorite jeweler.

02:12You know, he's one of the bigger, bigger jewelers in and not just the sports world, but, you know, he's, you know, expanding his brand everywhere.

02:20Anytime I need something like when it comes to a chain or earrings, like he's the guy that I that I go to.

02:28And and his stuff is all like is all real.

02:31And, you know, I used to be like the guy like the fake.

02:34I'm a fake guy. I'm a fake chain guy, you know, and I was cool with it.

02:37But I just didn't like my neck starting to turn.

02:41All right. So for this next item, you know, is the great, the one and only C4 play football and, you know, I work out a lot.

02:53I'm in the gym a lot. And, you know, for me, I just love like the energy boosters.

02:57Just me, you know, just having a partnership with C4 has been, you know, just the best for me because I didn't know something could change my performance, you know, in the gym.

03:06And I've always been a guy that's like just natural ability, which I believe in.

03:09But, you know, I believe, you know, because I work out so early in the morning, these just are the best pick me up.

03:15And, you know, it's NSF approved. So, you know, it works out perfectly for me.

03:20Let's go.

03:29I have four pair of these right now. These bars right here are my favorite shoes.

03:36I mean, of all time. If I'm not wearing like Nike's or literally anything else, these will be on my feet 85% of the time.

03:43So you wear this shoe like two or three times and you want to wear them for like at least like an hour plus.

03:48They form on your feet. So if you have like a wide foot, it'll kind of spread out a little bit.

03:53And then if you have like an arch on the bottom of your foot, it'll like create that arch.

03:57This part right here is like the most comfortable part because it'll form on your heel and your foot would sink into the shoe.

04:02Super comfortable. And for me, I think I got the best style. Obviously, people call them Jesus shoes, but I don't agree with people.

04:09First of all, any shoes that Jesus wore are probably super fire.

04:12Got these Ray-Bans. These ones actually record and take pictures of you.

04:17These glasses right here are, you know, the new wave of what we're using nowadays.

04:23They didn't have these back in the early 2000s or, you know, the 90s.

04:27So this is where we're going now with the technology and, you know, you can just like just press this button and then I can take a picture.

04:36Or if you just hold it, I can record like everybody that's around.

04:41You don't got to use your phone anymore. Just use the glasses and you got it.

04:45But a really cool essential for me.

04:48So the next item we have the candy, you know, I love candy a lot.

04:53I need to kind of chill on it, but these are.

04:57If these aren't your favorite candy, I don't know what you're doing.

04:59You know, I know people that like chocolate and no.

05:01Are you loving this one?

05:03Absolutely.

05:04I'll show y'all.

05:06This is my favorite color.

05:07And the candies and people say like they taste the same.

05:10They taste nothing to like.

05:11Like there's three flavors and they taste nothing to like.

05:13And they taste nothing to like.

05:14But.

05:15Shout out to Charlie.

05:16But then.

05:17So I'm a big Sour Patch.

05:19Obviously another sour candy.

05:21You know, I love the sour straws.

05:22My auntie like put me on those when I was young.

05:25But the strawberry ones are the best ones.

05:28They've made other colors, but I think the strawberry ones will be forever the best candies from Sour Patch for sure.

05:38This is key.

05:39I started to become more of a gamer.

05:41And this gaming computer is super fire.

05:44My teammate Tyler Algier, he has one and he put me on.

05:47So when I'm on the road, I always bring this with me.

05:50People think that gaming computers aren't as cool as like PlayStations or Xboxes, but it's in the same like category.

05:57Like it works the same.

05:58The games look the same.

05:59It's just in a smaller form that you can take with you more easily, I guess.

06:03But I try to play as many games as I can.

06:05Like I'll be on FIFA a lot.

06:07That's a soccer game.

06:08You know, I'll play 2K on here.

06:10I'll play like Planet Coaster.

06:12It's this game where you like you're creating an amusement park.

06:15And you know, you want to create the best amusement park you can create.

06:18But like you really have to be super creative.

06:21Because if not, then your amusement park can look real dry and real bad.

06:25I've been like building since last year, so my thing looks like Disneyland out there.

06:29You know, for me, starting to build things and starting to kind of form things together and make sure like my whole team in this game is operating the right way.

06:39I mean, it's the same thing that I do in real life with all my teammates.

06:42And, you know, I have to gel everybody together in this Planet Coaster game.

06:46And then I got to gel everybody together in with the Falcons too.

06:49So it's a cool thing to learn like that leadership, that leadership factor.

06:54And so for my next item, I got my Beats headphones.

06:57I wear headphones.

06:58Obviously, a lot of people listen to a lot of music.

07:00And I'm one of those people.

07:02And I think that, you know, just wearing these headphones has been like the best thing for me.

07:07I think like H&M is a really, really cool store.

07:11And I think it's a cool store because the music is so good.

07:15Like I've gotten so many songs from H&M.

07:17I've just Shazammed my phone away in H&M.

07:21My number one song that's like getting me going.

07:23I don't think people will probably know it, but it's by this DJ like artist.

07:28He's like electronic indie.

07:30His name is Darius.

07:31And the song is called Shuri.

07:34So anybody that looks at that song, you'll thank me because it's an amazing song.

07:39For my next item, I got these smell goods.

07:43You know, these are super great to me.

07:45I travel a lot and I do a lot of things.

07:47You know, having this deodorant is the best thing that I could have.

07:52My armpits last a long time.

07:54And, you know, with these deodorants, they'll say like 48 hours.

07:59It's not true.

08:00You got to make sure you're consistently kind of make sure you're right.

08:03But the Old Spice is my favorite deodorant.

08:06And, you know, I like Degree too.

08:08But, you know, I like just the ones that can last just a little longer.

08:13This one's like, I guess it says deep sea, but obviously like they have a better smell than the sea.

08:18But this is like a more like a fruity smell.

08:21My grandma was like, what is that?

08:24And if I get her to say that, then I think I'm doing pretty good.

08:28And then for my cologne, I got to use La Labo.

08:34La Labo is my number one cologne.

08:37I think I wear it so much.

08:38I think it's like instilled in my veins.

08:40You know, I feel like I don't got to wear this.

08:43And you can just smell it.

08:45This Nuwar 29 has been the one I've been using for like two years now.

08:52But yeah, that's awesome.

08:54If you're having a bad day, honestly, and you smell this, this can like change your day.

08:58This is how good it smells.

08:59And with this next item, you know, I got my beanie.

09:03I wear beanies all the time.

09:05It just like feels like comfortable on my head.

09:07You know, putting these on, they like fit perfectly because I can't, you know, I got kind of a big head.

09:12So all hats don't fit.

09:14All beanies fit for some reason.

09:16And I have like every single color.

09:17This is from Zara.

09:18I think Zara has like some elite style, but I think they have like the best beanies because they have every color.

09:24Thanks everybody.

09:29Bye.
