Comp-Raid and Concepts collaborated to produce exclusive t-shirt to pay tribute to the Boston hip hop legend, Edo G. This t-shirt features Edo G face on Adidas inspired rectangle design.

“I decided to roll with someone that is legendary in terms of Boston hip-hop… nah, f**k that, hip-hop in general, Edo G. Edo G. dropped his first album in 1991 called Life of a Kid in the Ghetto, when he was still ED O.G. and rolled with the Bulldogs. You remember the joints “I Got to Have it” , “Be A Father To Your Child” and “Bug-A-Boo” (which Destiny’s Child went on to later steal).

As a kid, seeing someone that was where I was from on YO! MTV Raps was so inspiring. He represented for us and now we represent for him. Ed is now a member of the Boston hip-hop group Special Teamz that has recently signed with Duck Down Records (home of Boot Camp Click) which includes Slaine from La Coka Nostra.”

We do not have any information regarding the person who said these lines but anyway, this t-shirt will be available at the Concepts store at the end of September 2007.
