LOVE & HATE...

Back in '89 a relatively unknown Spike Lee dropped the film "Do the Right Thing", depicting the urban tale of strife & dystopia in the multi-ethnic community of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. After watching this film (yet again), there are just too many good scenes to mention, but here's one of our favorites.

A classic Radio Raheem moment...check the message, spread the knowledge.

Well we are happy to report that we received the latest news from our good people over at Upper Playground about their newest partnership together.

Shinganist will pull inspiration from underground Japanese lifestyle, as well showcase the works of guest artists and Usugrow himself. Upper Playground and Usugrow view the line as a vehicle to introduce a new generation of Japanese artists to the world.

Usugrow started drawing in 1993 for various hardcore metal bands, hip-hop groups, album covers, merchandise, clothing brands, shops, skate companies, whatever. Currently based in Tokyo, Japan his black and white illustrations are one of a kind, combining calligraphy with his drawings.
