Bootleg Collection 2: Marauding Midnight

Inspiration for our Marauding Midnight Tee was drawn (or Bootlegged) from the cover-art of what may arguably be one of the BEST Hip Hop Albums of all time, A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders.  The tee offers a literal interpretation of LAX-JFK in the form of Hip Hop, accompanied by the Bootleg Mixtape by Sean G.

Bootleg Collection 2 will be available at www.LAX2JFK.com August 9th at 8:00am.  Design leaks all week… stay close.

BLACK Marauding Midnight. $28.00

RED Marauding Midnight. $28.00

Wayback Wednesdays: Unplugged

I remember watching this live on Mtv (1991).  You may not remember this, but the “M” in “Mtv” used to stand for music.  Now it stands for Reality Fast Food for your brain.  No DVR’s, if you were a fan you were tuned in or you’d miss it.

Respect to the Gods.

Bootleg Collection II Marauding Midnight Inspiration

If you follow us on Twitter (LAXtoJFK) or Instagram (same handle), you’ve seen a sneak peak of patterns & looks that inspired our latest collection slated to drop in a couple of weeks.  We’re staying away from conventional Seasons, dropping pieces when we’re ready to do so…

Our Inspiration featured here is taken from what may arguably be one of the BEST Hip Hop Albums of all time, Midnight Marauders.  If you watched ATCQ’s doc, Beats, Rhymes & Life, you remember the discussion sorrounding which artists made the Album Cover.  Some sour grapes, some grateful MC’s, all great material.

For this project, we plan to feature our picks.  Some repeats, some others that deserve mention.  Obviously it’s IMPOSSIBLE to feature all of our favorites, but we think this is a fair assessment.  I’m sure this tee will provoke discussion and debate, let’s go.

Collection will be available on www.LAX2JFK.com, Tradition (Thousand Oaks) and Brooklyn Projects (Melrose, LA).  Stay tuned to our blog for more info.

A Tribe Called Quest doc.

WOOOOOOW! I can’t wait to see this! One of our favorites…even Chuee agrees.
