Sad news, the mythical, truly legendary visionary known as Rammelzee has passed away... Graffiti pioneer, MC and artistic superbeing. Rammellzee has burned bright in my subconscious since first hearing 'Beat Bop' on the soundtrack of Wild Style back in the early 80's...his Gothic Futurist costume creations blew my mind and will remain a great inspiration. RIP. WS.
