ELM Company, Designer Music Release No.2 Fitted Teaser
ELM has posted an early image of their Designer Music Release series in association with Chace Infinite of Self Scientific and designer Kevin Sanchez. Each cap from the series is inspired by images and sounds that formed the influential Golden Age of Hip-Hop (late 80's - early 90's). Below is the second edition to the collection, which looks to be inspired by the strong conscious themes of that era. As usual the caps are produced in limited stock and available through ELM & other affiliates.
