"DISSIZIT, DISSIZIT, DISSIZIT!" (THIS IS IT, THIS IS IT, THIS IS IT!) A quote from the documentary "Style Wars" by graff pioneer Iz the Wiz was all SLICK needed to hear when he came up with the brand DISSIZIT! You can read it several different ways, "this is it!", the final, the end, the shit, or that we've finally arrived. The designs are courtesy of O.G. graff legend SLICK, who had his start airbrushing t-shirts on the shores of Waikiki and worked his way to Los Angeles, and Danny Boy O'Connor of House of Pain/La Coka Nostra fame.
SLICK is no stranger to the clothing game; for graffiti it was "Third Rail", for skaters and punks he did "Fuct Clothing", he brought you the Asian flavor with a street twist with "Shaolin Worldwide", and he has finally come full circle back to his graff roots with DISSIZIT! His art has been featured in countless documentaries, magazines, music videos, feature films and even an album cover or two, most notably "The Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde".
DISSIZIT! like to keep the heads on their toes and fuck with what’s hot that particular moment, and flipping it, but never straying too far from the graff. It's sometimes difficult to come up with dope shit every couple of months, just to have the bigger dogs come down and swoop to make a killing. Still DISSIZIT! continues to grow at a steady pace, unaffected by this unforgiving industry where brands pop up and disappear every day, DISSIZIT! is here to stay.
DISSIZIT! makes a sweet ass spraycan plushy. Don’t sleep on these cats! Everything is limited, so if you get it, cool, if you don’t, ya snoozed. Don’t trip though if you miss a release, you can probably get something similar soon after from one of the hundreds of whack ass brands in stores everywhere.
