Its been a minute since I posted the Top 5 Mc’s post but im back. For our 3rd pick we picked Yasiin Bey. I know this one might seem a little sketchy since i work with Yasiin on various projects but he has always been 1 of my top 5 mc’s.  Yasin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) is the quintessential backpack rapper gone legend. Artistic integrity still intact Yasin has successfully ventured into film and fashion and right back into the booth. With each release he pushes the envelope creatively and keeps the messages potent. No bargains, compromises, contradictions or apologies, I give you Yasiin Bey F.K.A Mos Def…

Make sure you check out the Yasiin Bey mix. Hope you enjoy. Be back soon with our 4th mc out of our top 5.

Did you ever think about the process or what it takes to get the hundred’s bomb or your own original artwork on a spanky new t-shirt that your rocking.

I’m working on a project and decided to jump in the truck and head down 1-95 and hangout with my peoples at Ampro, I swear “On the Road Again” should be my theme song lol.

Ampro, based in Delaware County, Pa is known for their amazing custom screen-printing and embroidery work, as well as sporting goods and promotional Items. Their facility is crazy it’s like the Disneyland of manufacturing, from the production floor to the paint room, (check it out “Phat Farm Blue” that’s a throw back) you can get lost in here.

After my tour of the space I got a chance to sit down with my man Wes, we go way back. He’s been slinging t-shirts from way back in the days lol, on the serious side Wes really knows his t-shirt/printing game. He’s produced merch for everyone, from Freeway to Robot to Undrcrwn.  If you ever need to pop off a t-shirt line he’s the man. wpickell@amprosports.com

So I was ready and excited to see the entire process from start to finish and to be able to leave with my banging new product fresh of the press.

All I can say is what a great spot. May these dogs be with you!!! This is one of the most creative spots Ive ever seen in my life and of course Star Wars is in the building.

Yesterday started kind of rough, but then my phone rang and it was time to get one of my walls done in the Compound. We started by opening up the wall paper paint and putting it into an orange home depot bucket. It was so cold outside that the paste was frozen lol. To put the paste up on the wall we had to break a broom stick up into several pieces. This is your official wheat paste kit.

Next step, D started putting the paste up on the wall. I have always wondered how those Supreme and Obey ads got put up and now I got a chance to see how its done.

Well if you know me you would know that I am a huge Star Wars fan. I wanted a mural that was kind of personal to me but at the same time have Star Wars’ as the main piece for the entire wall. It was such an honor to see Urban Medium at work.

The detail that went into this piece was amazing. The Death Star had a speaker in it as well as the Tie Fighters. I guess Star Wars got that Boom lol

To see my logo and they way that D incorporated my name into this piece like a comic book was really cool. This really blew me away.

This was fun experience to be apart of. I really needed this in my life right now, things have been a lil crazy lately. Like it says on the piece Do or Do not There is No Try. Shout out to Urban Medium, make sure you check them out at urbanmedium.com and a Super Big Shout out to my  man Derrick from UM for coming through and lacing the wall. May the force be with you.

Peace, Set Free signing out!
