Ongata Line Sacco
Deathrow
$50.00
Deathrow — a name that channels the raw energy of 1990s gangsta rap through Ongata Line Sacco's livery. Named after Death Row Records, the iconic label that launched Tupac, Snoop Dogg, and Dr Dre, this matatu was a rolling tribute to West Coast hip-hop culture. Dennis Muraguri's woodcut captures the menacing lettering and crown motif that defined the label's visual identity. The connection between matatu culture and hip-hop runs deep — both emerged from marginalised communities, both celebrate self-expression through distinctive style, and both command attention in public space. This print documents that cultural resonance with the fidelity that only a hand-carved woodcut can deliver. This A3 landscape print is essential for hip-hop fans, collectors of music memorabilia, and anyone who appreciates how Nairobi remixes global culture into something distinctly local. It makes a powerful statement in a music room, studio, or urban loft.
