For the first time, fans will have the ability to purchase Hip-Hop memorabilia from legends of the culture. KIRPA Auction House will offer celebrity collections from some of Hip-Hop's biggest artists including EPMD, Goodie MOB, Twista, DJ Drama and dead prez.
Throughout the year, each celebrity will have their own collection debuting at the digital auction house that brings celebrity memorabilia directly to cultural investors. The debut auction is a ten piece collection from EPMD that closes on August 25. It includes sneakers, customized jackets, art and even a limited edition EPMD rug from Erick Sermon's studio.
"People once said that Hip-Hop was a fad and it was trash music that wouldn't be around, I thought different," EPMD's Parish Smith said of the auction.
