Here’s an ill Biggie T-Shirt from the good folks at United Five (no relation to 5Fam, name is a coincidence). Any fan of hip-hop knows the King of New York, Notorious B.I.G. a.k.a. Biggie Smalls. From the ever-so-fluid flow, sharp wittiness, and uncanny storytelling ability, Biggie is one of the most (and for many, simply the most) revered emcees. Even after his untimely and tragic death in 1997, he still is in a majority of top 5 lists, and for a majority of those, he’s in the #1 position.
United Five’s description of the shirt:
The Biggie, Babe Ruth Re-Mix T-shirt. Untied Five teams up with designer CuddleMachine for this clever fun shirt. Representing two of New Yorks greatest icons.
All t-shirts are screen printed by hand using soft to the touch inks.
100% Combed Ring spun Cotton. Super-soft, lightweight, slim-fit tee. Machine washable and preshrunk to minimize shrinkage.
You can check their website at http://www.united-five.com, or go directly to their shop at http://shop.united-five.com. I personally have this t-shirt as well as their Crooklyn shirt. Aside from the nice designs, they’re good quality; I’ve washed them quite a few times since with no signs of wear and tear.
From what I understand, the name of “United Five” comes from the five boroughs of New York, so you’ll see some borough specific tees as well as some that represent all five. So if you rep the city hard, you may want to grab these shirts to show your solidarity.
Tomorrow, I’ll be hitting you guys up with some info on the new SM57 I bought. It’s the first SM57 I’ve bought for my mic arsenal. Studio pros know the SM57 very well, and though the review I’m going to give would be obvious to those who have had it, I’m hoping it’ll be enlightening to those who are trying to find the right microphone for electric guitar amp cabinets and snare drums.
More to come, so stay tuned!
