Just catching up with the latest news today: while the new seen. shirts are finally getting printed (yes, it´s really true – so don´t spend all of your money for the new Rockers NYC stuff – even though they kill it once again with their latest releases), we´re happy to see Eddie Stats illustrating the latest edition of his Ghetto palms column with a photo in which Instinct from the beloved De Tropix is wearing one of our Bounty Killer tees which we released together with the Afflicted Yard. Btw: there are very few of them left on our shop: catch them while you can.
