DREAM TDK: ADVANCED VANDALISM

Blessup Family | Hope life is treating you well on your part of the world. Life just got better on our end because we have had the opportunity to converse and talk to Kuya John Francisco of TDK + while visiting he truly surprised us with some gear that he and the crew offer whenever they vend at Hip Hop / Art Events. It’s always a blessing to receive gifts, but such an honour coming from legends. So next time you see the TDK Crew at a show, please support them by copping a few items. 2011 is slated to be a great year for them as their Mike [DREAM] Francisco book: ADVANCED VANDALISM  is set to release around the Spring-time. Curated by the TDK + TMC Family + Authored By Chris Brennan, this is definitely one that will be a necessity to add to your book shelf. Bay Area Hip Hop History will be at your fingertips, please support The Culture. The 411: UNAESTHETIC


About the Author

SRxMM
SRxMM is short for the collaborative effort: Soul Regiment x Motivate Movement who have decided that working together builds a stronger establishment. By developing a brand identity with its acronym, they hope to exemplify unity. In many ways, you may view the structure as follows: Soul Regiment = Apparel Brand | Motivate Movement = Design Haus. Since 2000, Motivate Movement has aspired to be a motivational force in our community; bridging the gap between genres and comrades in art through design. Our directive is to capture and preserve the essence that transmits the youthful spirit and purity for people’s love for culture. Our brand will never claim to be the best, but we will always stand by our dedication to deliver quality messages to you. We dedicate our work to Michael “DREAM” Francisco, the reason for our establishment. Through his death, our phoenix arose. Our headquarters is located in the San Francisco / Bay Area and production facilities based in Oahu, Hawaii.
