Pause Tapes—the OG hip-hop hack that changed the game. Before digital samplers took over, producers like Q-Tip and DJ Premier were out here rewinding cassettes, looping breaks, and building beats the hard way. This tee celebrates that raw, hands-on era of beat-making when creativity meant patience and two decks. Crafted from premium 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors add a polyester blend), this shirt delivers softness and just enough stretch to keep you comfortable all day. At 4.2 oz./yd.², it's lightweight without feeling flimsy. Pre-shrunk fabric, side seams, and shoulder-to-shoulder taping ensure durability that matches the quality of your fit. Fair warning: the fabric has a slight sheen and may show through under bright light, especially in lighter shades. Made-to-order means we craft yours fresh when you order—a little longer to arrive, but way less waste. Blank sourced from Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, or the US.
