In the early 2000s, ex-graffiti artist and indie label owner austin wilde ran a label that released cult classic compilation albums, including a hip-hop-inspired series called badmeaningood, for which he commissioned a then-little-known graffiti artist named banksy to produce four album covers and posters, and an additional 12" sleeve for the 2002–2003 releases.
Since the launch of the badmeaningood mixtape series, twenty-something years have passed — and they have now become cult collectors’ items around the world. You can read even more indepth details of how this collection was created in our makersplace blog here. And in the world of music and rare records, "Cult collector’s items" is very much a synonym for "Lost a shitload of money when it was first released," and that, fly girls and homeboys, is very much the case with badmeaningood.
This drop marks the third iteration of wilde’s compilation series featuring banksy’s designs and comes off the heels of two successful drops. This release features 4 limited-edition (3/3), animated cd nft’s with music from the associated albums.
