For their latest collection, L.A. streetwear company FUCT teamed up with well-respected fashion photographer Shawn Mortensen to give us two limited edition tees featuring the mugs of hip hop icons Snoop and the King of New York himself, the Notorious B.I.G. The photographs, shot in California, show Snoop as a young up-and-comer, pointing a gun at the camera, and a visibly cheery B.I.G, who, according to Mortensen kept telling jokes during the shoot. They are part of Mortensen MCMXC Photo Series and were both shot in Cali between 91′ and 92′. Mortensen, whose celebrity portraits have graced the pages of various publications - remember Trace’s Gwen Stefani cover ?! - was an excellent choice to document this prolific era in rap when the East Coast/West Coast rivalries were at the very core of the creative process. You can order them here.
