Turntable Lab 04 New Drops

Natural Born Bushwick Bill and Slick Rick $34

Damn me if this isn' t the most clever hip-hop shirt evah. Notice the one "i" is missing in "Bushwick Bill?" Read the small print and it says "with only one i." Then you remember that Bushwick only has one "eye." Ureco!... expand review Same theme is printed on the back, this time using hip-hop's other one-eyed bandit, Slick Rick.... bravo!




Bodega Shirt $34

It's rare that a shirt can introduce you to a new world. "La Bodega Sold Dreams" is a book written by Puerto Rican playwright Miguel Pinero. Pinero was a giant in NYC's cultural history. While doing time in Sing-Sing, Pinero wrote the play Short Eyes, which went on to win six Tony Awards as well as an award for best play of the year. He went on to become one of the founders of the legendary Nuyorican Poets Cafe, acted in films, wrote more plays and books, and even wrote an episode of Miami Vice (ha.). This beautifully designed shirt features a analytical synopsis of "La Bodega" on the back. Standard fit.
