A photographic tribute to the legendary DJ AM and his amazing vintage t-shirt collection.

DJ AM Eric B. Rakim Shirt

Shirt #1: Eric B. & Rakim

Album: Paid in Full

Year: 1988

” I don’t know the rarest one I own but I’ve never seen another Eric B & Rakim – Paid in Full shirt. Nas saw me in it and seemed almost pissed like ‘how come that’s not mine?’ ” – DJ AM

We’re starting off this new section in style! In honor of AM’s efforts for those struggling with addiction we’re auctioning off this extremely scarce vintage tee. We’ve had it stashed away for a while and can’t think of a more fitting way to let it go. 100% of the proceeds will go to AM’s Memorial Fund.
