Thanks to LRG Clothing for their partnership in the show. The exhibit runs through April 18th at Gallery1988 (East).

Murray's work has been seen in the past in G1988's group shows, gracing the cover of the recent Secret Wars cover for Marvel and on some of underground Hip-Hop's most heralded releases from rappers like Apathy and The Demigodz. This exhibit breathes new life into some of rap's most memorable records and is a must-see for any music fan.

Come meet the artist and pick up a free shirt from LRG produced just for this exhibition (while supplies last). Relive the greatest time in Hip-Hop music through the eyes of one of G1988's most talented creators.

This show will run through April 18th.
