I drew this in high school. It was inspired by my friend Randy Mclaughlin and Das EFX. Randy was cool unlike most of the rednecks I went to high school with. He was a great artist who moved to the area from Baltimore. Super cool guy. We both loved Das Efx at the time and he did a drawing of one of them from the inside cover of the album and I thought it was so bad ass I had to do the other Andre Weston which is shown here.
Randy was a year younger than me. And the next year I heard he committed suicide. That was horrible.
Das Efx was one of my faves at the time. I listened to that tape so many times. I never quite got how Das Efx’s 2nd album didn’t do well. There were a couple songs on there that I still bump to this day. Thought those were incredible: Check it out, Underground Rappa. Those beats and rhymes hit so hard. Freak it was more popular, but pretty good too. Had those on vinyl too. The first two were my faves.
Classic 1993 hip hop. Remember bumping Tribe and Das on a long ass bus trip from NC up to NH.
