Pop culture and organized crime lore is colliding on clothing. Mob-theme t-shirt imprint Knokaround – known for bringing artistic imagery of prohibition era gangsters to casual threads – joins forces with the premier publisher of hard-edge and brutally real true crime stories – Gorilla Convict. In this alliance, the two factions will create a new collaborative line, the “Urban Gangland” series, of shirts, hats, posters and more. From mysterious drug lord Frank Matthews to the unrivaled kingpins of the Supreme Team, new street couture will feature the fact & folklore of legendary underworld icons throughout the decades.
Frank Matthews began his criminal career in the numbers racket, got close with the mafia, then built his own narcotics empire. His story is perhaps the most mysterious of gangster lore. Matthews jumped bail in 1973 and has never been conclusively seen or heard from again. Many theories abound, but the man called “Black Caesar” is still at large. The poster features the imagery of Matthews after his arrest in Las Vegas, along with important dates and names in chronological order regarding his rise in organized crime all the way to his disappearance. This joint venture between Knokaround Apparel & Gorilla Convict is the first in the “Gangland Legends” series.
“Incarcerated author Seth Ferranti has compiled a who’s who of the late 20th century’s most infamous kingpins in Street Legends, a compendium series documenting crack-era American’s criminal enterprises. Ferranti has fashioned a rogue’s gallery of drug lords that is as compelling as it is concise. This is a must read for true crime enthusiasts.” — Smooth Magazine

“Prison Stories outlaw rawness mixes well with hip-hop’s street essence. Fans of Iceberg Slim’s pimp tales or HBO’s OZ series will really dig this. The book reveals a world of fearless convicts, inconspicuous snitches and deadly gang rivalry. Prison Stories is a great read. Ferranti’s voice gritty and tough. He brought all the accounts to life as if you were there with him.” Elemental Magazine

Supreme gave the responsibility of this project to the proper person and Seth will make every word, paragraph and chapter count because he is the master at creating master pieces that are tailored for the real.” Walter “King Tut” Johnson, NYC Original Gangster
