More or Less Mag November '24 Cover
Curator Maxwell Wolf opened up Rammellzee’s closely guarded archive to Akeem Smith, inviting the stylist to fashion the found-object ensembles on human bodies.
It pays homage to the enigmatic creative, a true free spirit who brought the avant-garde into hip-hop and reshaped graffiti culture. He still haunts the city’s underground.
