– MR. BRAINWASH COMMENTED ON THE BROKEN VINYL SERIES.
Mr. Brainwash used to own a recycled clothing store; the sustainable mind was entrenched in his later creations, such as recycled tires and broken records such as this particular lot, “Dr. Dre”. Dr. Dre is an American rapper, record producer and the founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electr onics companies. The current work is seen as paying a tribute to Dr . Dre.
