AK 47 TSHIRT www.beanheadnyc.com #steelo #ak47 #kingofdiamonds #kod #beanhead #beanheadnyc #longlivesteelo #ripsteez #47 #brooklyn #midwood #king #2013 #nofuckery
The shirt depicts Capital Steez, the celebrated Pro Era MC and close friend of Joey’s, who passed away this past December. Joey wanted to honor Steelo, so he teamed with Ecko designer Tony Whlgn to create this special shirt. Tony tells us how it came to fruition:
“I had an opportunity to design a special 1 of 1 Ecko Unltd collaborative tribute tee with Joey Badass. It’s an honor to work with a Street wear Brand that I’ve grown up with that has been around for 20yrs. If you’ve seen the RIP STEELO MURAL I did about a month ago you’ll notice it’s the same artwork. We took that and infused Steez’s 47 Ideology and Balance to convey the type of MC Steelo really was. Also if you look closely you’ll notice the shirt is pieced and color blocked with the Rastafarian Red, Black, & Green for Steez’s Spiritual movement amongst the youth. We put a great amount of thought into designing this memento hope you enjoy. Look forward to more works from the two in the near future.”
