With heavy weight music industry journalists, djs, producers, record label managers and collectors all putting pen to paper for the magazine, you get the deepest knowledge with the best of writing. As they have got some many good links in the industry they would inevitably come across some great designers. So it was a logical conclusion to knock up to fine t shirts.

It’s been a long time coming! In fact, for the past eight years and thirty-seven issues, WPs wanted to do a Curtis Mayfield cover. It finally worked out for their unofficial Film/Hustler Issue, in which we take a look at Mayfield’s epic soundtrack recording Super Fly. New York writer Michael Gonzales pulls from his own 1996 Curtis Mayfield interview as well as tapping Curtis associates, guitarists Craig McMullen and Phil Upchurch and composer/arranger Johnny Pate, to tell the story of the finest blaxploitation score of the 1970s.
