DJ STAGE ONE: CLASSIC GRAFFITI FROM THE 80'S!

 CLASSIC PIECE I PUT ON CARDBOARD IN THE LATE 80'S FROM MY HENRY HIGH (MPLS.) DAYS. I WAS OBSESSED WITH EGYPT (KEMET) AND AFRICAN HISTORY AND APPLIED IT.

MY MATH TEACHER MS.BORNE FROM HENRY TOOK THIS FROM ME AND KEPT IT TILL THE END OF THE YEAR BECAUSE I WAS SKETCHING MORE THAN I WAS DOING SCHOOL WORK. 

NOTICE THE AFRICA MEETS THE HOOD REFERENCE IN THE PIECE?

ANY GRAFFITI ARTISTS THAT PAINTED JACKETS BACK IN THE DAY KNOWS ABOUT THIS!
