Anticipation: Kings of the Mic

Post by spagucci1 »

I was asked to create the poster for the “Kings Of The Mic” tour stop at the Greek Theatre in LA. The tour features some of my all-time favorite from hip-hop, plus my favorite DJ in Z-Trip, so I was incredibly hyped(believe the hype on this one!) to work on the project. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a lineup featuring acts this strong from hip-hop’s golden era. I’m tight with Z-Trip and I know LL so I think they are both going to sign the print. The price will depend on which signatures I can get, so stay tuned for that and the release date, but it will be sometime around the show on July 7. Word.
-Shepard

18 x 24 inch screen print. Signed by Shepard and hopefully: LL Cool J and Z-Trip. Edition of 500.

The best underrated summer tour to come through (Boston) IMO.

Everyone brought their classics -- Ice Cube ever pulled out Straight Outta Compton.

Great tour and poster.

My first show ever was the Up In Smoke Tour...Warren G, Ice Cube, Snoop Dog, Eminem and Dr. Dre. I believe it was also the first time I got high, haha. I've loved Ice Cube ever since.

Looks like the print is now dropping on the 11th and might not be signed by LL

I wonder if the price will be adjusted accordingly if LL isn't able to sign.

KINGS OF THE MIC

UPDATE! Prints will be signed by Shepard Fairey and Z-Trip. We are working hard to get LL to sign the full edition but timing is everything, so we are rescheduling the release for this Thursday in hopes we can make it happen.

Iwas asked to create the poster for the “Kings Of The Mic” tour stop at the Greek Theatre in LA. The tour features some of my all-time favorites from hip-hop, plus my favrite DJ is Z-Trip, so I was incredibly hyped(believe the hype on this one!) to work on the project. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a lineup featuring acts this strong from hip-hop’s golden era. I’m tight with Z-Trip and I know LL so Ithink they are both going to sign the print.
