It’s a metaphor, an analogy, an attitude that deserves respect, and it’s all jam packed into some of the funkiest urban/attitude tees out there. Life after all is short, but for those inclined, sweet, and what makes it sweeter are friends, gatherings, beats, wide eyes and fun-packed days and nights brimming with funky moves and cheesy grins.

Fresh 2 Death Tee

A hip hop or die t-shirt for the truly freshest of the fresh, it’s funny how ‘fresh’ is such an old school word, but still, as far as DPM are concerned you can’t get any fresher than this coffin packed full of bling in all its manifest forms. Be it gold, diamonds, boots and caps to die for, this resting place is definitely and absolutely brimming with all the latest coolest gear, No need to hit and run your gangsta rap tracks to the adoring masses to pull in those vital readies, you can have it all today in the form of their Fresh 2 Death tee. It’s neat and street, glorious urban illustration with some gorgeous custom gradients giving it that ever shiny sheen. Available in black for men in sizes S to XL for $27.95.

Forget Brooklyn, with this brand new release from DPM you’re assured of always having an eye (or more than a dozen) open. Stay alert, stay awake, life is for the living, if you blink it might be all over. A fun and funky design featuring more ghetto graphics for party lovers, this colourful contribution to the collection does exactly what it promises. I’d love to see this tee printed in glow in the dark inks, who knows it may be on the cards? Get DPM’s brand new Never Sleep tee in black for men at $27.95. Available in sizes S to XL.

All Work And No Play Tee

Ever seen The Shining? If you have you’ll already know that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, if you haven’t then go see it now, that’s an order! Anyway, I don’t normally go for textual tees, but this has to be one of the strangest I’ve come across so far, perhaps a little out of kilter in the collection, though it’s still as funky as hell, just far more subtle :p DPM’s obsessive compulsive furore of mad type is blended with a line in blue print style graphics, almost verging on the insane. Check out their twist on the original ‘all work and no play’ adage. Get this crazy tee for men, white, sizes S to XL for $27.95 here.

Well it would if it really came with all the gear heh. Still a very cool design, love all the detail, a superb concept and definitely one to stop them on the dance floor.
