In 2009 I was lucky enough to interview DJ AM about all things vintage tees. What impressed me more about his collection was that he was happily willing to lend the time to participate (we were a much smaller operation at the time.) There was no runaround with an agent or rep and I didn’t have to hound him to get a response. (Admittedly, I just scoured through our email correspondence again and was thoroughly reminded what a solid guy he was.) The last emails are particularly fitting as to what’s going on right now… From: James Date: Wed, 15 ... Read more

A vintage t-shirt gallery inspired by current events. Headline: RIP Heavy D. Sadly, Heavy D. (aka Dwight Arrington Myers) passed away today from respiratory issues. He was only 44. Thankfully the world was graced with a rare appearance by Heavy a few weeks ago at the BET Hip Hop awards. It was his first live performance in 15 years and the big man didn’t miss a step. Heavy’s biggest success came in the heydays of 80s and 90s hip hop with three platinum and two gold records to his credit. He also created the epic TV theme songs for In ... Read more

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices.

The Spectrum was host to some of the most legendary rap combo concerts ever, check ... Read more
