Got a new Youtube Channel where I post lost/rare Bape music.

I have uploaded 2 "lost" albums already (Cherie and Flowers) and have about 6 more lost albums I'll slowly post when I feel like, as well as the rest of the music released under Bape's label Ape Sounds. I use quotes around lost because most of these albums are purchasable online with enough diligent scouring- but only physical copies that go up for sale every few months. I hope by the end of the year to have every song under the Ape Sounds label posted.

I very much recommend checking out that album Cherie! It's one of my favorite albums now.

Thanks for sharing, Megas! I'm not familiar with these releases at all, so going to check it out this week when can I throw on some background music while I work.

Cherie is notable for being the first album Kaws (who is a HUGE artist now) did the cover art for!

As I post more albums I'll slowly start posting more information about them and such as well. Been a little lazy with it to be honest.

That's awesome that Kaws did the cover art for the project. He's come a long way since early 2000s, when he was still a graffiti writer in the NY area. I have a book from that time period that features a photo of him and some of his work, I'll take a pic of the page to share.

That's sick, it's probably worth a pretty penny now. I love graffiti and have some old graf zines but I only got into it because of my brother, who actually does graffiti. I'll have to share some pics of that as well at some point.

I do not fully understand, but I like some of the tracks. Some remind me of Akira Yamaoka's tracks. I love Silent Hill so I like a bathing ape? Must now get sneakers.

Must now get sneakers.

That’s how they get you!

Nigo, the creator of Bape created his own private label Ape Sounds. He signed a lot of artists across a lot of genres, so there's a lot of variety.

The book is called Autograf: New York City’s Graffiti Writers, which was originally published in 2004 by PowerHouse. Some more info and pics can be found here: https://powerhousebooks.com/books/autog ... i-writers/. There are a lotta other dope artists featured! Some of my favorites include Earsnot and Revs.

I had never looked into the current pricing, but according to the site Abe Books, it does look like the book is worth a bit of money now. Good to know.
