DGK, the skate and street apparel brand founded by Pro Skater Stevie Williams in 2002, has partnered with legendary hardcore hip hop group Onyx to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the iconic album BACDAFUCUP. The DGK x Onyx collection, now available in select stores and online, features two standout pieces — The DGK x Onyx BACDAFUCUP T-Shirt and The DGK x Onyx BACDAFUCUP Skateboard Deck.
Onyx was formed by three schoolmates in the early 90s in Queens, New York. The hardcore hip hop band rose from obscurity, recording their early tracks in their basement. Their debut album BACDAFUCUP was said to revolutionize the hip hop scene with its distinctive style and delivery. Onyx's journey from humble beginnings to hip hop stardom exemplifies a relentless drive and determination, securing their place in music history.
